Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with untreated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma and ECOG performance status 0–1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with HER2-positive tumors, prior systemic therapy for advanced disease, prior topoisomerase inhibitor–based ADCs, or poor performance status (ECOG >1) are unlikely to be eligible or benefit.

What this trial studies
This open-label phase 1b/2 trial combines IBI343 with the PD‑1 inhibitor sintilimab and chemotherapy (oxaliplatin plus S‑1) in previously untreated, CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative advanced G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. A 3+3 dose-escalation stage identifies the recommended phase II dose, followed by dose-expansion cohorts including 25 patients in a general CLDN18.2-positive cohort and 15 patients with signet-ring cell histology. The study’s primary aims are to characterize safety and tolerability and to generate preliminary efficacy data including response rates and progression-free survival. Key eligibility includes age 18–75, ECOG 0–1, no prior systemic therapy, and confirmed CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If effective, this combination could improve response rates and lengthen disease control for patients with CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative advanced gastric or GEJ cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other CLDN18.2-directed therapies (for example zolbetuximab) and PD‑1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy combinations have shown promising activity in gastric cancer, but the specific IBI343 plus sintilimab combination is relatively novel.
