Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against the antigen GC182 with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, claudiximab specifically binds to GC128, which may stimulate the immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against GC182-expressing tumor cells, resulting in decreased tumor cell proliferation. The CD20-like antigen GC182, a gastric differentiation protein, is often overexpressed on the cell surfaces of a variety of tumor cells, including gastric, pancreatic, esophageal cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.

Zolbetuximab has been investigated in 4 clinical trials, of which 4 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating zolbetuximab, 2 are phase 2 (2 open) and 2 are phase 3 (2 open).

CLDN18 Expression, CLDN18 Overexpression, and Claudin-18 isoform 2 Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for zolbetuximab clinical trials.

Adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction, gastric adenocarcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma are the most common diseases being investigated in zolbetuximab clinical trials [2].
