IBI343 versus placebo for CLDN18.2-positive advanced pancreatic cancer after at least two prior therapies

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase III Study of IBI343 Monotherapy Plus Best Supportive Care Versus Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care in Participants With Claudin (CLDN) 18.2-Positive, Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Who Received>=2 Prior Lines of Therapy

Run by Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. · NCT07066098 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether IBI343 plus best supportive care can help people with CLDN18.2-positive locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer who have had at least two prior treatments live longer than placebo plus best supportive care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with histologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer that is CLDN18.2-positive, who have progressed after at least two prior systemic therapies (including fluorouracil- and gemcitabine-based regimens) and have adequate organ function and performance status, are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients whose tumors are CLDN18.2-negative, who are too frail to meet eligibility requirements, or who need other anti-cancer treatments during study therapy are unlikely to benefit from this trial.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, double-blind Phase III trial comparing IBI343 monotherapy plus best supportive care to placebo plus best supportive care in patients with CLDN18.2-positive, locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer who progressed after at least two systemic therapies. About 201 participants will be enrolled and randomized 2:1 to receive IBI343 or placebo, with treatment and follow-up visits at participating centers. The primary endpoint is overall survival, and patients must have adequate organ function and ECOG performance status within the allowed range. The trial is sponsored by Innovent Biologics and will be conducted at participating oncology centers including Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, IBI343 could extend survival for patients with CLDN18.2-positive advanced pancreatic cancer who have exhausted standard treatments.

How similar studies have gone: Other agents targeting CLDN18.2 have shown activity in gastrointestinal cancers, but large-scale success specifically in pancreatic cancer has not yet been established.
