Two trials that made Claudin 18.2 the third biomarker in stomach cancer, adding about two to three months of survival with an antibody against it.
SPOTLIGHT: PFS 10.6 vs 8.7 months, OS 18.2 vs 15.5 months. GLOW: PFS 8.2 vs 6.8, OS 14.4 vs 12.2 months. About 38% of screened patients were CLDN18.2-positive at the ≥75% threshold. FDA approval 18 October 2024 (Vyloy), first CLDN18.2-directed therapy. Nausea and vomiting, on-target from gastric mucosa, are frequent and front-loaded.
