Global Clinical Landscape & Future Outlook

The race for Claudin-targeted therapeutics is intensifying, with major players shifting focus from traditional mAbs to multi-specific T-cell engagers and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). While CLDN18.2 has paved the clinical path, CLDN1 is emerging as a critical target in solid tumors (such as colorectal, ovarian, and non-small cell lung cancers) and fibrotic diseases. As first-generation therapies reach clinical trials, the next wave of R&0 is targeting tumor-selective epitopes and pH-sensitive binding to avoid on-target, off-tumor toxicities in healthy epithelial tissues.
