Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to evaluate factors associated with sensitivity and acquired resistance to zolbetuximab-containing systemic chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer. Gene expression and protein phosphorylation profiles related to cancer cell proliferation and maintenance will be analyzed using blood and tissue samples collected before and after treatment. This study also aims to clarify the molecular heterogeneity of cancer cells and contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

Key inclusion criteria

1) Patients who have been histologically diagnosed with gastric cancer.
2) Patients whose gastric cancer tumor tissue is confirmed to be CLDN18.2-positive by additional testing, including those who have already been confirmed to be CLDN18.2-positive at another institution prior to referral.
3) Patients who are scheduled to receive, or may potentially receive, anticancer drug therapy using zolbetuximab at the participating institution.
4) Patients aged 18 years or older at the time of informed consent.
5) Patients from whom at least one tumor tissue sample and at least one non-tumor sample can be obtained from the following specimens:
Tumor samples: Tumor tissue samples newly collected after consent for this study.
Non-tumor samples: Non-tumor tissue samples newly collected for this study and/or peripheral blood samples.
If newly collected samples are difficult to obtain or if archived samples are considered useful for analysis, the use of archived samples will be permitted.
6) Patients who have provided written informed consent before study registration after receiving a sufficient explanation of the study.
7) Patients may be enrolled even if they are participating in other clinical trials, including investigational new drug trials.

Key exclusion criteria

1) Patients who are considered unsuitable for enrollment in this study by the attending physician.

Other related information

This is a prospective observational study. No treatment modification for research purposes or additional invasive intervention will be performed as a result of study participation. Patients with Claudin 18.2-positive unresectable advanced or recurrent gastric cancer who receive anticancer drug therapy including zolbetuximab will be included. Within the scope of routine clinical practice, tumor tissue and blood samples will be collected before treatment initiation, approximately two months after treatment initiation, and at the time of tumor progression. Comprehensive phosphoproteomic profiling, comprehensive gene expression analysis, and protein profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles will be performed using the collected samples. Enrollment of study participants is currently ongoing.
