Summary

This study will compare how safe and effective sacituzumab tirumotecan is versus the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) in participants with advanced/metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma. The primary hypothesis of this study is sacituzumab tirumotecan is superior to TPC with respect to Overall Survival (OS).

Irinotecan will be administered at a dose of 150 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle.

DRUG

Trifluridine-Tipiracil

Trifluridine-tipiracil will be administered at 35 mg/m\^2 as tablet orally twice a day on days 1-5 and 8-12 of every 28-day cycle.

BIOLOGICAL

Sacituzumab tirumotecan

Participants will receive sacituzumab tirumotecan as 4mg/kg IV infusion on days 1, 15, and 29 of every 42-day cycle.

DRUG

Paclitaxel

Paclitaxel will be administered at a dose of 80 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on days 1, 8 and 15 of every 28-day cycle.

DRUG

Docetaxel

Docetaxel will be administered at a dose of 75 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on day 1 of a 21-day cycle.

DRUG

Rescue medications

Participants are required to receive prophylactic mouthwash (steroid mouthwash \[dexamethasone or equivalent\] is highly recommended) to mitigate the onset and severity of stomatitis or oral mucositis. Additionally, participants may receive mucoadhesive hydrogel and oral nystatin suspension or other topical antifungal agents. Additional recommended rescue medications are histamine-1 (H1) receptor antagonist, H2 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen or equivalent, and dexamethasone or equivalent, at the investigator's discretion.

DRUG

Supportive care measures

Participants are allowed to take supportive care measures for the management of adverse events associated with study intervention at the discretion of the investigator.
