ESMO 2026 | CLARITY-Gastric 02: Sone-Ve + capecitabine ± rilvegostomig in CLDN18.2+ GC/GEJC/EAC

Kohei Shitara, MD, National Cancer Center Hospital East, Kashiwa, Japan, discusses the rationale and trial design of the CLARITY-Gastric 02 (NCT07431281) trial, a Phase III study evaluating sonesitatug vedotin (Sone-Ve), a CLDN18.2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), with capecitabine with or without rilvegostomig in CLDN18.2-positive (CLDN18.2+) advanced or metastatic gastric, gastroesophageal junction, or oesophageal adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJC/EAC). The trial is based on encouraging results from a previous Phase III study, where Sone-Ve demonstrated significant overall survival improvement as a monotherapy in later-line therapy for CLDN18.2+ gastric cancer. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2026 Congress in Madrid, Spain.
