CtDNA + predicts survival and detects MRD in #gastric CRITICS trial 👍 @nature . 🤔54% ctDNA+ rate is too high esp w/ genomically stable& stage I/II cases. Removing wbc-derived alterations may not r/o CHIP. Matched Tumor NGS is ideal if feasible.

Exciting early data in 11 pts 61% ORR in heavily pretreated gastric cancer w claudin 18.2 CAR-T CT041. Over half of claudin 18.2 expression high are in non -signet ring tumors. No grade 5 events. Is PFS 5.6 mos really worth the trouble -hope we can do better in earlier lines?
