Thanks for posting! That's one I heard my oncologist mention several months ago, but not lately.

A quick search of the NCT site shows 14 clinical trials in the USA with a search term matching "Claudin" and status = currently recruiting.

https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?term=claudin&locStr=United%20States&country=United%20States&aggFilters=status:rec&limit=25&page=1

I haven't refined the filters down to see if there are more or less matching the keywords related to pancreatic cancer (PDAC, solid tumor, etc), expanded it to catch where they might only use the abbreviation (CLDN), or rule out other flavors of Claudin besides 18.2, include other countries outside the US, but you get the idea. 🙂

I hope something here works out for someone, and that they will share if it does!

Did your dr. suggest testing to see if you have that bio marker? My present GAC treatment is bringing down my CA19-9 numbers, but an ultrasound showed the growth in the peritoneum is still growing. My MRI today will show how accurate the ultrasound is. I will post if my drs advise any new treatments if it turns out I have the Claudin 18.2 marker. By the way, are your CA19-9 numbers decreasing yet?
