CARsgen Announces Collaboration Agreement to Evaluate AB011 in Combination with Atezolizumab to Treat Gastric Cancer
“We are glad to work with Roche, a global leader in oncology, to explore the potential of AB011 in combination with atezolizumab and chemotherapy for the treatment of gastric cancer,” said Dr. Zonghai Li, Founder, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Scientific Officer of CARsgen, “Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancer types worldwide and the treatment options for gastric cancer patients are still very limited. CLDN18.2 is a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of CLDN18.2 positive solid tumors, including gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, etc. Since 2014, CARsgen team has developed several innovative medicines against CLDN18.2 in the pipeline including CAR T-cell therapies and AB011. AB011 is an important asset in the CLDN18.2 franchise of CARsgen and is the first monoclonal antibody against CLDN18.2 that received IND clearance in China. Through this collaboration, we are excited to evaluate the combination of AB011 and atezolizumab which can potentially bring greater clinical benefits to gastric cancer patients.”
