Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Capecitabine
Treatment: Drugs - Cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - Herceptin

Active Comparator: Capecitabine + Cisplatin + Herceptin (6 mg/kg) - Participants will receive Herceptin at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 6 mg/kg q3w as a standard of care from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will also receive cisplatin 80 mg/m^2 intravenously q3w plus capecitabine 800 mg/m^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 treatment cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Experimental: Capecitabine + Cisplatin + Herceptin (10 mg/kg) - Participants will receive Herceptin at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 10 mg/kg q3w from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason (cycle length = 21 days). Participants will also receive cisplatin 80 mg/m^2 intravenously q3w plus capecitabine 800 mg/m^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 treatment cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).


Treatment: Drugs: Capecitabine
Capecitabine will be administered at a dose of 800 mg/m^2 orally twice daily for 14 days q3w for up to 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Treatment: Drugs: Cisplatin
Cisplatin will be administered at a dose of 80 mg/m^2 intravenously q3w on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for up to 6 cycles (Cycles 1 to 6).

Treatment: Drugs: Herceptin
Herceptin will be administered at a loading dose of 8 mg/kg on Day 1 of Cycle 1 followed by 6 or 10 mg/kg (depending upon treatment assignment) q3w from Day 1 of Cycle 2 until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal from the study for another reason.

Summary
Brief summary
This randomized, open-label, multicenter, international Phase IIIb study will compare the
efficacy and safety of two Herceptin dosing regimens in combination with
cisplatin/capecitabine chemotherapy in participants with HER2-positive metastatic gastric or
gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Participants who have not received prior treatment
for metastatic disease will be randomized to receive Herceptin intravenously as either an
8-milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks (q3w) as
standard of care or an 8-mg/kg loading dose followed by 10 mg/kg q3w until disease
progression. Capecitabine will be administered for 6 cycles at a dose of 800 milligrams per
meter-squared (mg/m^2) orally twice a day on Days 1 to 14 of each 3-week cycle, and cisplatin
will be administered intravenously for 6 cycles at a dose of 80 mg/m^2 on Day 1 of each
3-week cycle. Herceptin will be continued until disease progression occurs.
