Here goes

🎬Starting out with an overall poll Q

When a new advanced GC/GEJ patient presents to your clinic, your institution reflexively tests for which of the following?
@TumorBoardTues 2/15 #TumorBoardTuesday

68y/o with poorly diff gastric cardia adeno, diffuse LAD, +peritoneal mets.

🧬Biomarkers HER2-, PD-L1-, MSS
🧪Pre-screened for trials & FGFR2b-, Claudin18.2+
🔦Enrolls in frontline SPOTLIGHT trial.

❓What is Claudin18.2?
❓What is SPOTLIGHT?
@TumorBoardTues 3/15 #TumorBoardTuesday

✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

Transmembrane protein typically present in tight junctions of gastric mucosal cells, maintains barrier function of gastric mucosa, & prevents leakage of H+ in gastric acid through paracellular pathways.
@TumorBoardTues ✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

🧑Patient: You’re doing all of these tests. What cancers express CLDN18.2?

🤝 #SharedDecision

🩺 clinician: Great question

1️⃣ Gastric/GEJ
2️⃣ Pancreatic
3️⃣ Biliary Tract, #NSCLC, Ovarian (less common)
@TumorBoardTues 5/15 #TumorBoardTuesday
✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

🧑: OK, but is CLDN18.2 rare like NTRK fusions, etc?

🩺: No, prevalence varies by IHC cutoff and IHC assay but…

📍Gastric/GEJ/EAC: ~28-40% of patients are CLDN18.2+ and seen in diffuse and intestinal type #GastricCancer
@TumorBoardTues 6/15 #TumorBoardTuesday #GastricCancer
✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

🧑: 🆒 So does it overlap with other GC/GEJ/EAC biomarkers?

🩺: uuuuuhhhh, we are working on it. With a prevalence of >30% for CLDN18.2+ there is some overlap
@TumorBoardTues 7/15 #TumorBoardTuesday
✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

Here’s early papers on CLDN18.2 overlap
1. CLDN18.2+ TME: rdcu.be/c0Wbw
2. CLDN18.2 Landscape review: rdcu.be/c0Wbt
3. CLDN18.2 Biomarker: mdpi.com/1330386
@TumorBoardTues 8/15 #TumorBoardTuesday #GastricCancer
✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

🧑: It seems like a tumor-restricted 🎯 target — does that make it amenable to different treatment approaches?

🩺: Yes, several strategies beyond Zolbetuximab are being explored. Here are some examples👇🏽

✨ SPOTLIGHT✨

🧑: Got it, I am trying to picture the design of this phase III 🔦 SPOTLIGHT trial, can you remind me?

🩺: Of course, may be easiest to draw it out 👇🏽

✨ SPOTLIGHT✨

🧑: Before I sign onto this phase III 🔦SPOTLIGHT, what do we know about Zolbetuximab in patients?

🩺: Zolbetuximab has been studied as monotherapy, in combination with frontline chemotherapy, and in combination with anti-PD-1

Starts on FLOT. C2 c/b😴, neutropenia, LFT ⬆️.
Unplanned CT with🙅🏼‍♂️👎response, hard to separate mass from liver capsule (not metastatic).

MDC feels risk of R1 resection, but resectable. MMR testing, complete PMS2 & MLH1 loss
