Zolbetuximab (development code IMAB362) is an experimental monoclonal antibody against isoform 2 of Claudin-18. It is under investigation for the treatment of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and pancreatic tumors. IMAB362 was developed by Ganymed Pharmaceuticals AG.[1]

The drug is in phase II clinical trials as of January 2013.[2]

Preliminary results from the phase II 'FAST' trial in June 2016 suggest it is helpful for advanced gastric cancer (and a phase III trial will be planned).[3]
