Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with CLDN18.2-positive advanced gastric/GEJ adenocarcinoma or CLDN18.2-positive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, measurable disease, ECOG 0-1, and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients without CLDN18.2 expression, without measurable disease, or with poor health status may not benefit from this regimen.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a Phase 2 interventional trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of IBI343 when given with gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel in adults with advanced solid tumors expressing CLDN18.2. Eligible participants have measurable disease (RECIST v1.1), good performance status, and adequate organ function. Key requirements include confirmed CLDN18.2 positivity and contraception for patients of reproductive potential. The study will monitor adverse events and tumor response to determine whether the combination offers clinical benefit in this specific biomarker-defined population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience tumor shrinkage or slowed disease progression when IBI343 is added to chemotherapy.

How similar studies have gone: Prior approaches targeting CLDN18.2 have shown activity in similar tumor types, supporting further investigation of this strategy.
