By Public Technologies
  • Astellas Pharma reported Canadian real-world data showing that a national testing program enabled timely access to zolbetuximab with chemotherapy for eligible patients with advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
  • The findings were presented at the ESMO congress in Madrid on Oct. 25, 2026.
  • The program linked CLDN18.2 biomarker testing to targeted treatment for patients with CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative tumors while public reimbursement was pending.
  • Across eight provinces, 63 patients received at least one treatment cycle between May 20, 2025, and Jan. 31, 2026.
  • The descriptive study used limited patient-support program data, restricting interpretation of the findings.
