Eligibility
Recruits 332 Vulnerable population flag is selected. Participation requires the subject's consent (inclusion criterion: "Consent to the study and study procedures"). Subject information and informed consent forms for adults are provided (documents available in French, Dutch, Czech, Italian, Spanish among others), and only adult participants (≥18 years) are eligible; no pediatric assent/parental consent provisions are listed in the available documentation..
- Pregnancy Exclusion

- Vulnerable Population
- Vulnerable population flag is selected. Participation requires the subject's consent (inclusion criterion: "Consent to the study and study procedures").

Phase 2: HER2 overexpression determined by an FDA-approved test for gastric/GEJ cancer. If safe and feasible, it is recommended that patient eligibility be based on a biopsy obtained after prior trastuzumab treatment. Phase 3: HER2 overexpression determined by HER2 protein overexpression and/or HER2 gene amplification in tumor specimens assessed with FDA-approved (and local regulatory authority approved) tests specific for gastric cancer.
