About Vilastobart (XTX101) and the Phase 1/2 Combination Clinical Trial

Vilastobart 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 in the tumor microenvironment (TME). In 2023, Xilio entered into a co-funded clinical trial collaboration with Roche to evaluate vilastobart in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in a multi-center, open-label Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Xilio is currently evaluating the safety of the combination in a Phase 1C dose escalation in patients with advanced solid tumors and the safety and efficacy of the combination in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer (MSS CRC), including both patients with and without liver metastases. Please refer to NCT04896697 on www.clinicaltrials.gov for additional details.
