Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of zolbetuximab plus capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX) compared with placebo plus CAPOX (as first-line treatment) as measured by Progression Free Survival (PFS). This study will also evaluate efficacy, physical function, safety, and tolerability of zolbetuximab, as well as its effects on quality of life. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of zolbetuximab and the immunogenicity profile of zolbetuximab will be evaluated as well.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: up to 13 months ]
    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of radiological progressive disease (per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 by Independent Review Committee (IRC)) or death from any cause, whichever is earliest.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: up to 23 months ]
    OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause.

  2. Time to confirmed deterioration (TTCD) in participant-reported physical functioning and Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) [ Time Frame: Up to 16 months ]
    TTCD is measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OG25 plus STO22 Belching subscale and defined as time to first confirmed deterioration; that is, time from randomization to first clinically meaningful deterioration that is confirmed at the next scheduled visit.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: up to 13 months ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who have a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1.

  4. Duration Of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: up to 13 months ]
    DOR, defined as the time from the date of the first response (CR/PR) until the date of progressive disease as assessed by IRC per RECIST 1.1 or date of death from any cause, whichever is earliest.

  5. Safety and tolerability assessed by adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.

  6. Number of participants with laboratory assessments abnormalities and or adverse events [ Time Frame: up to 14 months ]
    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values.

  7. Number of participants with vital signs abnormalities and or adverse events [ Time Frame: up to 14 months ]
    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant vital sign values.

  8. Number of participants with electrocardiograms (ECG) abnormalities and or adverse events [ Time Frame: up to 14 months ]
    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECG values.

  9. Number of participants with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status abnormalities and or adverse events [ Time Frame: up to 13 months ]
    Number of participants with potentially clinically significant ECOG performance status values. ECOG grades 0-5, where 0 = Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction; 1 = Restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light house work, office work; 2 = Ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities. Up and about more than 50% of waking hours; 3 = Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours; 4 = Completely disabled. Cannot carry on any self-care. Totally confined to bed or chair and 5 = Dead.

  10. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a cancer-specific 30-item questionnaire. Participants rate items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much." A change of 5 - 10 points is considered a small change. A change of 10 - 20 points is considered a moderate change.

  11. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Oesophago-Gastric Module 25 (QLQ-OG25) questionnaire plus EORTC-QLQ-STO22 Belching subscale [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    The EORTC-QLQ-OG25 instrument evaluates Gastric and Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) cancer-specific symptoms such as stomach discomfort, difficulties eating and swallowing and indigestion. It is a 25-item questionnaire. Participants rate items on a four-point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much". To ensure relevant symptoms are adequately covered two questions from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach (EORTC-QLQ-STO22) instrument related to belching and bile or acid coming in your mouth will be asked following the OG25 questionnaire. Participants rate items on a 4 point scale, with 1 as "not at all" and 4 as "very much". The total and subscale scores from the OG25 and item scores from the STO22 items will be reported.

  12. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measured by the Global Pain (GP) questionnaire [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    The GP instrument is a single assessment of overall pain where 0 equals no pain and 10 equals extreme pain. Low pain scores are considered a better outcome than a high pain score.

  13. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) measured by the EuroQOL Five Dimensions Questionnaire 5L (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument developed by the EuroQol Group for use as a generic, preference-based measure of health outcomes. The EQ-5D-5L is a 5-item self-reported measure of functioning and wellbeing, which assesses 5 dimensions of health, including mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension comprises 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, extreme problems). A unique EQ-5D-5L health state is defined by combining 1 level from each of the 5 dimensions. This questionnaire also records the respondent's self-rated health status on a vertical graduated (0 = the worst health a participant can imagine to 100 = the best health a participant can imagine) visual analogue scale. Responses to the 5 items will also be converted to a weighted health state index (utility score) based on values derived from general population samples.

  14. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of zolbetuximab: Concentration Immediately Prior to Dosing at multiple dosing (Ctrough) [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    Ctrough will be derived from the PK serum samples collected.

  15. Number of anti-drug antibody (ADA) Positive Participants [ Time Frame: up to 16 months ]
    Immunogenicity will be measured by the number of participants that are ADA positive.
