Red flags — PRO / CONTRA aggressive
PRO-AGGRESSIVE
Triggers that push toward the aggressive track
- CLDN18.2 expression positive (≥75% of tumor cells with 2+/3+ membranous staining on VENTANA CLDN18 (43-14A) RxDx) in HER2-negative metastatic / unresectable gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma — eligibility for zolbetuximab + fluoropyrimidine/oxaliplatin 1L (SPOTLIGHT mFOLFOX6 mOS 18.2 vs 15.5 mo HR 0.75; GLOW CAPOX mOS 14.4 vs 12.2 mo HR 0.77). Treatment-defining for the ~38% of HER2-negative gastric cohort. Hierarchy: HER2+ trastuzumab supersedes; MSI-H pembrolizumab supersedes; otherwise CLDN18.2+ → zolbetuximab.
RF-GASTRIC-CLDN18-2-ACTIONABLE
- Surgical/endoscopic emergency in gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma: massive upper-GI bleed requiring transfusion, gastric outlet obstruction with intolerance of oral intake, or perforation. Mandates urgent endoscopic / surgical / interventional management BEFORE systemic therapy initiation.
RF-GASTRIC-EMERGENCY-BLEED-OBSTRUCTION
- Treatment-defining biomarkers in metastatic gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma: HER2+ (IHC 3+ OR 2+/ISH+) → trastuzumab+chemo TOGA / T-DXd 2L+; CLDN18.2+ (≥75% of tumor cells with 2+ membranous staining) → zolbetuximab+chemo SPOTLIGHT/GLOW; MSI-H → pembrolizumab mono; EBV+ subtype (TCGA molecular class) — distinct biology, ICI-favorable.
RF-GASTRIC-HIGH-RISK-BIOLOGY
CONTRA-AGGRESSIVE
Hard contraindications to escalation
What NOT to do
Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-GASTRIC-METASTATIC-1L-PDL1-CHEMO-ICI)
- Do NOT use without HER2 testing — HER2+ patients get trastuzumab+chemo instead
- Do NOT continue through Grade 3+ irAE without permanent ICI discontinuation consideration
- Do NOT initiate during ongoing GI bleed / obstruction
Aggressive plan (IND-GASTRIC-METASTATIC-1L-HER2-TOGA)
- Do NOT use without baseline LVEF — trastuzumab cardiotoxic (q3-mo echo monitoring)
- Do NOT combine with anthracycline (cumulative cardiotoxicity)
- Do NOT initiate during ongoing GI bleed / obstruction
Aggressive plan (IND-GASTRIC-METASTATIC-1L-CLDN18-2-ZOLBETUXIMAB)
- Do not start zolbetuximab without confirmed CLDN18.2 ≥75% 2+/3+ by VENTANA RxDx — outside this range benefit is not proven.
- Do not prescribe zolbetuximab in HER2+ patients — TOGA trastuzumab+chemo takes priority.
- Do not prescribe zolbetuximab in MSI-H patients 1L — pembrolizumab (KEYNOTE-859) takes preference.
- Do not start without triplet antiemetic prophylaxis (5-HT3 + NK1-RA + dex) for cycle 1 — nausea/vomiting severe without it.
- Do not combine with ipilimumab/ICI outside of trials — combination safety unknown.
- Do not confirm the plan without funding pathway — zolbetuximab not registered in UA.

14-day cycles × Until progression / unacceptable toxicity (chemo backbone capped at ~12 cycles in some protocols; nivo continues mono until 2 years)
Aggressive plan
Induction · Trastuzumab + capecitabine + c
21-day cycles × Until progression / unacceptable toxicity (chemo backbone often capped at 6-8 cycles, trastuzumab continues mono)
Aggressive plan
Induction · Zolbetuximab + mFOLFOX6 (SPOTL
14-day cycles × Until progression / unacceptable toxicity (oxaliplatin commonly capped at 8-12 cycles for cumulative neuropathy; zolbetuximab + 5-FU/LV maintenance continues)
