Fast Track Designation from the U.S. FDA for IBI343 (TOPO1i anti-CLDN18.2 ADC) as Monotherapy for Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, said, “Pancreatic cancer is highly malignant and difficult to diagnose early. At present, the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer is still based on systemic chemotherapy. The clinical options for the second-line treatment are particularly limited, with response rate of only 6%-16%, and median survival period of only about 3-6 months. There are urgent clinical needs to be met. As the world’s first CLDN18.2 ADC to obtain FTD certification in this difficult-to-treat cancer, IBI343 single-agent therapy shows encouraging efficacy and tolerable safety in the late-line treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. We will continue to confirm its efficacy and safety in this disease in subsequent clinical trials, and also explore IBI343 in combination therapy and other solid tumors including gastric cancer.”
