[{"type":"text","content":" PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nXencor, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNCR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered antibodies for the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 and provided a review of recent business updates and internal clinical-stage programs.\n\n\n“Xencor’s clinical focus is developing high-potential, first-in-class bispecific T-cell engagers and additional XmAb® candidates that leverage our differentiated technology platforms. The expanding opportunities for engineered antibodies, T-cell engagers and other bispecifics have encouraged us to advance a range of new XmAb candidates, and we plan to announce our next candidates for clinical development in the coming months,” said Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Xencor. “We remain enthusiastic by the progress of our clinical-stage T-cell engager programs and advancements within the platform to date in 2024. Our dose-escalation studies of XmAb819 (ENPP3 x CD3) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and XmAb808 (B7-H3 x CD28) in advanced solid tumors remain on track to reach target dose levels by year end, and XmAb541 (CLDN6 x CD3) is off to a strong clinical start with initial study enrollment.”\n\n\nBispecific Antibody Programs Advancing in Internal Clinical Development\n\n\n\nXmAb819 (ENPP3 x CD3): XmAb819 is a bispecific T-cell engager in Phase 1 clinical development for patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). XmAb819 is designed to engage the immune system, activating T cells for highly potent and targeted killing of tumor cells expressing ENPP3, an antigen highly expressed in ccRCC. Xencor’s XmAb 2+1 multivalent format used in XmAb819 enables greater selectivity of ENPP3-expressing tumor cells compared to normal cells, which express lower levels of ENPP3. Xencor is advancing through dose-escalation cohorts in an ongoing Phase 1 study, and the Company anticipates reaching target dose levels by year end.\n\n\n\n\n\nXmAb808 (B7-H3 x CD28): XmAb808 is a tumor-selective, co-stimulatory bispecific T-cell engager in Phase 1 clinical development, in combination with pembrolizumab for patients with advanced solid tumors. XmAb808 binds to the broadly expressed tumor antigen B7-H3 and is constructed with the XmAb 2+1 format....
