What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Claudin18.2(CLDN18.2) is a kind of integrin membrane protein in the tight junction between epithelium and endothelium, which is highly expressed in many solid tumors, especially in gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. The CLDN18.2/PD-L1 dual-targeting CAR-T will be investigated in patients with CLDN18.2-positive advance solid tumors.
