Zolbetuximab, sold under the brand name Vyloy, is a monoclonal antibody used for the treatment of gastric cancer.[2][5] It is a claudin 18.2-directed cytolytic antibody against isoform 2 of Claudin-18.[2] Zolbetuximab was developed by Ganymed Pharmaceuticals.[6] Astellas Pharma acquired the rights to zolbetuximab in December 2016, when it acquired Ganymed Pharmaceuticals.[7]
The most common adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, neutropenia (low levels of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that fights infections), decreased neutrophil counts, weight loss, fever, hypoalbuminemia (low levels of albumin, a blood protein), and peripheral edema (swelling, especially of the ankles and feet).[3]
