New drug aims to turn immune system against stomach cancer

NCT ID NCT03505320

Summary

This study is testing an experimental drug called zolbetuximab for people with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. The drug targets a specific protein (CLDN18.2) found on many of these tumors, aiming to flag them for the body's own immune system to attack. Researchers are testing the drug by itself and in combination with standard chemotherapy and other immunotherapy drugs to see which approach works best.
