Claudin 18.2-positive gastric cancer: lines of therapy
3 standard-of-care settings across 3 lines and 2 biomarker subgroups. Rows come from the cancer page's standard of care; the grid places each on its line and subgroup.
Advanced, first line
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HER2 | Advanced, first line | Zolbetuximab with FOLFOX (SPOTLIGHT) or CAPOX (GLOW) in HER2-negative, claudin 18.2-positive disease; nivolumab or pembrolizumab with chemotherapy remains an alternative where PD-L1 is high. | 98 |
Second line
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All comers | Second line | Ramucirumab with paclitaxel; claudin 18.2 antibody-drug conjugates and CAR-T in trials. | 85 |
Other settings
| Subgroup | Setting | Approach | Products and trials | Guideline | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| All comers | Toxicity management | Antiemetic prophylaxis and slowed infusion for the nausea and vomiting of the first cycles. | 83 |
Sequence and caution pairings
Lines and subgroups are parsed from the setting text of each standard-of-care row and can misclassify an unusual phrasing; the row’s own setting is always shown. Guideline chips reflect the NCCN category and ESMO-MCBS grade recorded on the cancer page, checked on its stated date. Not medical advice.
