Dosing XTX301 at 45 ug/kg once every three weeks (dose level 3) in ongoing Phase 1 trial, nearly 100x the maximum tolerated dose of rhIL-12, with no dose-limiting toxicities observed to date
Initiated patient dosing in Phase 1/2 trial for XTX101, a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4, in combination with atezolizumab
Based on recently accelerated enrollment, now plan to report Phase 2 trial data for XTX202, a tumor-activated, beta-gamma biased IL-2, at the 4.0 mg/kg dose by end of first quarter of 2024
“For more than 20 years, IL-12 development has been relentlessly pursued due to its unique potential to treat immunologically cold tumors. However, treatment with IL-12 has remained out of reach due to the lethal toxicities associated with systemic administration,” said
Xilio today announced recent advances across its three clinical-stage programs:
XTX101 (tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4)
- Xilio recently initiated patient dosing in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- Subject to obtaining sufficient additional capital, Xilio today reaffirmed plans to:
- Select a recommended Phase 2 dose for XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab in the second quarter of 2024.
- Subject to the results of the Phase 1 combination dose escalation portion of the trial, initiate the Phase 2 portion of the trial for XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC) in the third quarter of 2024.
- Report initial Phase 2 data for XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab in approximately 20 patients with MSS CRC in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in approximately 20 additional patients (40 patients total) in the first quarter of 2025.
- Select a recommended Phase 2 dose for XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab in the second quarter of 2024.
XTX202 (tumor-activated, beta-gamma biased IL-2)
- Xilio continues to enroll patients at the 4.0 mg/kg dose in its ongoing Phase 2 monotherapy trial for XTX202 in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma or unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
- Based on recently accelerated enrollment, Xilio now plans to report Phase 2 monotherapy data for XTX202 in approximately 20 patients treated at the 4.0 mg/kg dose by the end of the first quarter of 2024.
XTX301 (tumor-activated IL-12)
- Xilio today announced encouraging preliminary safety data from its ongoing Phase 1 trial evaluating XTX301 as a monotherapy in dose escalation in patients with advanced solid tumors.
- As of a data cutoff date of
January 5, 2024 , nine patients had been treated with XTX301 in the outpatient setting in Phase 1 dose escalation at three dose levels ranging from 5 ug/kg to 45 ug/kg administered once every three weeks. - XTX301 was generally well-tolerated across all dose levels with no dose-limiting toxicities observed in patients as of the data cutoff date.
- As of a data cutoff date of
- Subject to obtaining sufficient additional capital, Xilio today reaffirmed plans to report Phase 1 safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data for XTX301 in patients with advanced solid tumors in the second half of 2024.
Financial Guidance
Xilio continues to anticipate that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the end of the second quarter of 2024.
About XTX101 (anti-CTLA-4) and the Phase 1/2 Combination Clinical Trial
XTX101 is an investigational tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced, high affinity binding anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody designed to block CTLA-4 and deplete regulatory T cells when activated (unmasked) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In the third quarter of 2023, Xilio entered into a co-funded clinical trial collaboration with Roche to evaluate XTX101 in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in a multi-center, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Xilio is currently evaluating the safety and tolerability of the combination in patients with advanced solid tumors in the Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the clinical trial. Subject to obtaining sufficient additional capital and the results of Phase 1 combination dose escalation, Xilio plans to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination in the Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC). Please refer to NCT04896697 on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
About XTX202 (IL-2) and the Phase 2 Clinical Trial
XTX202 is an investigational tumor-activated, beta-gamma biased IL-2 designed to potently stimulate CD8+ effector T cells and natural killer (NK) cells without concomitant stimulation of regulatory T cells when activated (unmasked) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Xilio is currently evaluating the safety and efficacy of XTX202 as a monotherapy in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma who have progressed on standard-of-care treatment in a multi-center, open-label Phase 2 clinical trial. Please refer to NCT05052268 on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
About XTX301 (IL-12) and the Phase 1 Clinical Trial
XTX301 is an investigational tumor-activated IL-12 designed to potently stimulate anti-tumor immunity and reprogram the tumor microenvironment (TME) of poorly immunogenic “cold” tumors towards an inflamed or “hot” state. Xilio is currently evaluating the safety and tolerability of XTX301 as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors in a first-in-human, multi-center, open-label Phase 1 clinical trial. Please refer to NCT05684965 on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
