How it works

Zolbetuximab-clzb is a claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2)-directed cytolytic antibody that depletes CLDN18.2-positive cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Zolbetuximab-clzb in combination with chemotherapy had increased antitumor activity in CLDN18.2-expressing mouse tumor models compared to zolbetuximab-clzb or chemotherapy alone.
