Arm/Group Title CapeOx + Lapatinib CapeOx + Placebo
Hide Arm/Group Description Participants received oxaliplatin (Ox) 130 milligrams (mg)/ meters squared (m^2) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle plus capecitabine (Cape) 1700 mg/m^2 per day orally divided into two daily doses beginning the evening of Day 1 and ending the morning of Day 15 (28 doses per cycle) followed by a minimum required 6.5 day rest period per cycle. Participants also received lapatinib 1250 mg orally once a day from Day 1 continuously throughout each cycle, even during the 6.5 day rest period. Oxaliplatin was administered for a maximum of 8 cycles; after discontinuation of oxliplatin, capecitabine and lapatinib were continued until diease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The capecitabine dose could have been escalated to 2000 mg/m^2 per day after the completion of the first cycle at the investigator's discretion. Participants received oxaliplatin 130 mg/ m^2 IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle plus capecitabine 1700 mg/m^2 per day orally divided into two daily doses beginning the evening of Day 1 and ending the morning of Day 15 (28 doses per cycle) followed by a minimum required 6.5 day rest period per cycle.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Hide Description PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest date of disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of >= 1 new lesion. Participants who did not have a radiological assessed PD but had symptomatic PD were also counted. Participants who had neither progressed nor died were censored at the follow-up visit as either follow-up ended or follow-up ongoing. Participants who received non-study anti-cancer therapies before disease progression were treated as censored.

An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury.

Title Mean Change in Scores on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) From Baseline to Week 36
Hide Description The QLQ-C30, a self administered tool used to assess HROL, consists of 30 items that assesses 15 domains consisting of 5 functional scales (s.) (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, social) and nine symptom s. or single items (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties) and a global health status or QOL s.. For the functional s. and symptom s. or single items, participants assessed using a 4-point s. (1=not at all; 2=a little; 3=quite a bit; 4=very much), whereas global health status or QOL was assessed using a 7-item Likert s., ranging from "poor" to "excellent." All s. and single-item scores ranged from 0 to 100. For the functional scores, a higher score indicated a better HRQOL, i.e. 0=worst HRQOL, 100=best HRQOL; for the symptom s. or single items , a higher score indicated a high level of symptoms and problems, i.e. 0=no symptoms, 100=most severe symptoms.

Hide Description The EORTC QLQ-STO22, the Gastric module of QLQ-C30, is a self administered tool use to assess HROOL of patients with gastric cancer. It consists of 22 items consisting of nine symptom scales or single items (dysphagia, pain, reflux, eating restrictions, anxiety, dry mouth, taste, body image, hair loss) that were developed for participants with gastric cancer. For the symptom scales or single items, participants assessed using a 4-point scale (1=not at all; 2=a little; 3=quite a bit; 4=very much). All scales and single-item scores ranged from 0 to 100. For the symptom scales or single items, a higher score indicated a high level of symptoms and problems, i.e. 0=no symptoms, 100=most severe symptoms.

Title Mean Change in Scores on the Questionnaire EuroQoL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) From Baseline to Week 36
Hide Description The EQ-5D is a generic preference-based HROOL self administered tool comprising of a 5-dimensional health status measure (5D utility measure) and a visual analog rating scale feeling thermometer (T.). 5D utility measures mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. T. assesses participant's current health state. Each 5D utility question was responded to on a 3-point scale, indicating the level of impairment (1=no problem; 2=some or moderate problem(s); 3=unable, or extreme problems). The index utility values corresponding to the 243 health states were defined by the EuroQol classification and calculated based on country-specific regression coefficients. In the UK-based value set, the possible EQ-5D index utility values range from -0.594 to 1. The T. value ranges from 0 to 100. EQ-5D utility index score 0=death, 1=perfect health, -0.594 = worse than death. The T. score: 100=best imaginable health state, 0=worse imaginable health state.
