New Antibody-Drug combo takes on Hard-to-Treat pancreatic cancer

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Sign a written Informed Consent Form (ICF) and be willing and able to comply with the visit and related procedures stipulated by the program. 2. Histopathologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic PAC. 3. Progression or intolerance following first-line gemcitabine-based systemic therapy at locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic stages.If the time from the last neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy to disease recurrence/metastasis is less than 6 months, the treatment is considered first-line therapy. 4. The subject must not be suitable for radical treatment methods such as radical chemoradiotherapy and/or surgery. 5. According to RECIST v1.1, at least 1 measurable lesion had not received prior radiotherapy.(At baseline, an intravenous contrast agent is preferred by Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to accurately measure nodes with a long diameter ≥10 mm except for the short axis of the lymph nodes≥15 mm Target lesion diameter ≥2 times image layer thickness and lesions suitable for repeated accurate measurement.If a lesion located in a previously irradiated area clearly demonstrates progression to RECIST V1.1 criteria, it can be considered a measurable lesion). 6. Age ≥18 years old, gender is not limited. 7. Score of 0 or 1 according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS). 8. BMI 17 kg/m2. 9. Expected survival ≥12 weeks. 10.

Female subjects of childbearing age or male subjects whose partners are women of childbearing age are required to take effective contraceptive measures throughout the treatment period and for 6 months after the treatment period. 12. The histopathological test confirmed that \*CLDN18.2 was positive.For subjects who have previously received any anti-CLDN18.2 treatment, tumor samples should be collected again after the relevant anti-CLDN18.2 treatment has ended. Note: \*CLDN18.2 positive was defined as Claudin18.2 immunohistochemical membrane staining intensity ≥ acceptance of previous test results, center test results, and laboratory test results in ≥40% of tumor cells.The proportion of CLDN18.2 expression can be dynamically adjusted by sponsors and funders during the study based on newly generated data.
