Kairos Pharma (NYSE American: KAPA) announced a strategic collaboration with Bayer to evaluate Kairos’s lead antibody ENV-105 (carotuximab), a first-in-class CD105/BMP signaling inhibitor, in combination with Bayer’s XOFIGO (radium-223 dichloride) for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) involving bone. The combination targets an estimated $570 million–$1.3 billion global addressable market.
According to Kairos Pharma, ENV-105 has shown an 86% clinical benefit rate and median progression-free survival of more than 13 months in a Phase 2 trial in castrate resistant prostate cancer, with interim data presented at the 2025 ESMO Congress. XOFIGO, the first FDA-approved alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical for mCRPC with symptomatic bone metastases, has demonstrated a 24% reduction in mortality risk when combined with enzalutamide in the Phase III PEACE-3 trial (HR 0.76; p=0.009). Preclinical work cited by Kairos indicates ENV-105 can sensitize prostate tumors to radiation by targeting CD105, a resistance-associated protein upregulated after androgen receptor inhibition and ionizing radiation.
