Mechanism of action

CLDN18.2 is a tight junction protein aberrantly expressed on the surface of gastric cancer and other malignancies. By binding to CLDN18.2, RO7234292 triggers antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), leading to direct tumor cell killing. This mechanism allows the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells expressing this antigen.
