Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) is physiologically confined to gastric mucosa tight junctions; however, upon malignant transformation, perturbations in cell polarity lead to CLDN18.2 epitopes being exposed on the cancer cell surface. The first-in-class monoclonal antibody, zolbetuximab (formerly known as IMAB362), binds to CLDN18.2 and can induce immune-mediated lysis of CLDN18.2-positive cells.
Patients with advanced gastric, gastro-oesophageal junction (GEJ) or oesophageal adenocarcinomas with moderate-to-strong CLDN18.2 expression in ≥50% of tumour cells received zolbetuximab intravenously every 2 weeks for five planned infusions. At least three patients were enrolled in two sequential cohorts (cohort 1300 mg/m2; cohort 2600 mg/m2); additional patients were enrolled into a dose-expansion cohort (cohort 3600 mg/m2). The primary end point was the objective response rate [ORR: complete and partial response (PR)]; secondary end points included clinical benefit [ORR+stable disease (SD)], progression-free survival, safety/tolerability, and zolbetuximab pharmacokinetic profile.
From September 2010 to September 2012, 54 patients were enrolled (cohort 1, n = 4; cohort 2, n = 6; cohort 3, n = 44). Three patients in cohort 1 and 25 patients in cohorts 2/3 received at least 5 infusions. Antitumour activity data were available for 43 patients, of whom 4 achieved PR (ORR 9%) and 6 (14%) had SD for a clinical benefit rate of 23%. In a subgroup of patients with moderate-to-high CLDN18.2 expression in ≥70% of tumour cells, ORR was 14% (n = 4/29). Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 81.5% (n = 44/54) patients; nausea (61%), vomiting (50%), and fatigue (22%) were the most frequent.
Zolbetuximab monotherapy was well tolerated and exhibited antitumour activity in patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric or GEJ adenocarcinomas, with response rates similar to those reported for single-agent targeted agents in gastric/GEJ cancer trials.

Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) 在生理上局限于胃黏膜紧密连接;然而,在恶性转化时,细胞极性的紊乱导致 CLDN18.2 表位暴露在癌细胞表面。首个单抗药物,zolbetuximab(前称 IMAB362),与 CLDN18.2 结合,并能诱导 CLDN18.2 阳性细胞的免疫介导裂解。
患有晚期胃、胃食管交界处(GEJ)或食管腺癌,肿瘤细胞中 CLDN18.2 表达≥50%的患者,每 2 周静脉给予 zolbetuximab,计划给予 5 个疗程。至少有 3 名患者被纳入两个连续队列(队列 1300mg/m2;队列 2600mg/m2);另外的患者被纳入剂量扩展队列(队列 3600mg/m2)。主要终点是客观缓解率(ORR:完全和部分缓解(PR));次要终点包括临床获益(ORR+疾病稳定(SD))、无进展生存期、安全性/耐受性和 zolbetuximab 药代动力学特征。
从 2010 年 9 月至 2012 年 9 月,共纳入 54 例患者(队列 1,n=4;队列 2,n=6;队列 3,n=44)。队列 1 和 2 中有 3 名患者和队列 2/3 中有 25 名患者接受了至少 5 个疗程。43 例患者有抗肿瘤活性数据,其中 4 例患者获得 PR(ORR 9%),6 例(14%)患者 SD,临床获益率为 23%。在 CLDN18.2 表达≥70%的肿瘤细胞的亚组患者中,ORR 为 14%(n=29)。81.5%(n=54)的患者出现与治疗相关的不良事件;最常见的是恶心(61%)、呕吐(50%)和疲劳(22%)。
zolbetuximab 单药治疗在 CLDN18.2 阳性的晚期胃或 GEJ 腺癌患者中具有良好的耐受性和抗肿瘤活性,其缓解率与胃/GEJ 癌试验中单药靶向药物报道的缓解率相似。
