China’s NMPA Approves VYLOYTM (zolbetuximab) for 1L Treatment of Advanced Gastric or GEJ Adenocarcinoma
Moitreyee Chatterjee-Kishore, Ph.D., M.B.A., Senior Vice President and Head of Immuno-Oncology Development, Astellas said, “Approximately 35% of Chinese patients with advanced and metastatic gastric and GEJ cancers have tumors that positively express CLDN18.2. By specifically targeting this biomarker with zolbetuximab we are able to stimulate selective cell death, reducing the overall number of CLDN18.2-positive cells in a tumor. The NMPA approval of zolbetuximab offers a new precision medicine for first-line use in China, supporting our ongoing ambition to drive progress and innovation in cancer care.”
