Xilio is focused on developing cytokines with exemplary clinical activity and tolerability. We are developing XTX301, a tumor-activated, engineered IL-12, for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

 

About IL-12

IL-12, or Interleukin-12, has emerged as one of the most potent cytokine mediators of antitumor activity because of its multiple effects on different immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). IL-12 has the ability to activate and bridge both innate (natural killer or NK cell) and adaptive (cytotoxic CD8+ T and CD4+ T cells) immunity for tumor cell killing while further coordinating additional anti-cancer defenses such as regulatory T-cell suppression and anti-angiogenic effects. Despite research across the field suggesting that IL-12 can significantly benefit patients in fighting cancer, there are currently no approved IL-12 agents due to severe systemic toxicity with unmodified IL-12.

 

XTX301, a tumor-activated, engineered IL-12

XTX301 is an investigational tumor-activated, engineered IL-12 molecule designed to potently stimulate anti-tumor immunity and reprogram the TME of poorly immunogenic “cold” tumors towards an inflamed or “hot” state.

XTX301 is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. Significant potential also exists to explore the development of XTX301 in combination with other agents and modalities.

About the Phase 1 Clinical Trial for XTX301

The Phase 1 clinical trial for XTX301 is a first-in-human, multi-center, open-label trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of XTX301 as a monotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors. Please refer to NCT05684965 on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
