Claudin 18.2, An Attractive Target for Therapeutics
Claudin 18.2, which is upregulated and mislocalized in cancer cells, has been suggested as a therapeutic target. Currently, there are several targeted drugs are in clinical trials and have shown promising results.
Its clinical trials in patients with advanced cancer have yielded positive results with few high-grade adverse events. Following the success of zolbetuximab in treating cancer illustrates the importance of characterizing these proteins to optimize drug discovery.
