Zolbetuximab, sold under the brand name Vyloy, is a monoclonal antibody against isoform 2 of Claudin-18 used for the treatment of gastric cancer.[1] It is under investigation for the treatment of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas and pancreatic tumors. Zolbetuximab was developed by Ganymed Pharmaceuticals AG.[2] Astellas Pharmaceuticals acquired the rights to zolbetuximab in December 2016, when it acquired Ganymed Pharmaceuticals.[3]
