Zolbetuximab (development code IMAB362) is an experimental monoclonal antibody against isoform 2 of Claudin-18. It is under investigation for the treatment of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and pancreatic tumors. IMAB362 was developed by Ganymed Pharmaceuticals AG.[1] Astellas Pharmaceuticals acquired the rights to Zolbetuximab in December, 2016 when it acquired Ganymed Pharmaceuticals. [2]

The drug was in phase III clinical trials as of November 2021.[3]

Preliminary results from the phase II 'FAST' trial in June 2016 suggest it is helpful for advanced gastric cancer.[4]

Astellas Pharmaceuticals presented the results of their phase III 'SPOTLIGHT' trial[5] at the 2023 ASCO GI Cancers symposium on January 19, 2023 which indicated that Zolbetuximab plus mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy reduced the risk of progression or death in gastric cancer patients by about 25% over the standard of care (mFOLFOX6) plus placebo.[6][7]
