Welcome to our dedicated page for Xilio Therapeutics news (Ticker: XLO), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Xilio Therapeutics stock.
Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: XLO) is a biopharmaceutical company based in Waltham, Massachusetts, dedicated to pioneering tumor-activated immuno-oncology (I-O) therapies aimed at significantly improving outcomes for cancer patients. The company's name, Xilio, is derived from the Latin term 'ex nihilo,' meaning creation or big bang, symbolizing its innovative approach.
Xilio leverages its proprietary platform to develop a pipeline of novel, tumor-activated clinical and preclinical I-O molecules. These include engineered antibodies, cytokines, and chemokines, all designed to localize anti-tumor activity within the tumor microenvironment, thus optimizing the therapeutic index and minimizing systemic side effects.
Key Products and Developments:
- XTX202: An investigational tumor-activated, engineered IL-2 molecule designed to stimulate CD8+ effector T cells and natural killer (NK) cells without stimulating regulatory T cells. Recent Phase 1/2 data showed a 50% disease control rate at higher doses, and it is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2 trial for melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.
- XTX101: A tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody designed to block CTLA-4 and deplete regulatory T cells within the tumor microenvironment. It is being evaluated in combination with atezolizumab in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced solid tumors.
- XTX301: An engineered IL-12 molecule designed to boost anti-tumor immunity and convert 'cold' tumors into 'hot' ones. XTX301 is in a Phase 1 clinical trial, and Xilio has recently entered into an exclusive license agreement with Gilead Sciences for its development.
Recent Achievements:
- XTX202 Phase 1 monotherapy dose-escalation success at a dose level of 4.0 mg/kg, with plans to explore combination therapy opportunities.
- The company announced a strategic partnership with Gilead Sciences to accelerate the development of XTX301.
- Financial results indicate that Xilio's existing cash and cash equivalents can fund operations into the second quarter of 2025, bolstered by recent private placements and upfront payments from strategic partnerships.
