"As we advance our robust pipeline of innovative masked immunotherapies, we continue to provide additional validation of our proprietary masking technology and ability to deliver differentiated molecules across a wide range of targets and design formats," said René Russo, Pharm.D., president and chief executive officer of Xilio. "At SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper), we presented compelling data across our clinical and preclinical programs, including data supporting the best-in-class potential of our masked T cell engager programs to meaningfully widen the therapeutic window relative to non-masked T cell engagers as well as our unique ability to incorporate co-stimulation to substantially improve the durability of T cell response."

Dr. Russo added, "For our clinical-stage programs, we continue to be encouraged by the promising data for both vilastobart and efarindodekin alfa, which have each shown differentiated clinical efficacy and safety for patients with high unmet need. In particular, new data for vilastobart leveraging plasma TMB as a predictive biomarker showed a 40% response rate in patients with MSS mCRC without liver metastases, supporting the significant opportunity for vilastobart as a combination therapy. As we look ahead to 2026, we are focused on execution across our clinical programs, while rapidly advancing XTX501, our bispecific PD-1/IL-2, toward a planned IND submission in mid 2026 and our masked T cell engager programs into IND-enabling studies."

Pipeline and Business Updates

Vilastobart: tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4

Vilastobart is currently being evaluated in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq) in Phase 1C combination dose escalation in patients with advanced solid tumors and in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with microsatellite stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).


In November 2025, Xilio announced new late-breaking data from its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) 40th Annual Meeting. These data demonstrated a 40% objective response rate (ORR) in heavily pre-treated, plasma tumor mutational burden (TMB) high patients (≥10 mutations/Mb) with MSS mCRC without liver metastases and showed a statistically significant correlation (p=0.05) between plasma TMB status and response. Approximately 55% of patients with MSS mCRC are estimated to have high plasma TMB, representing a meaningful patient population with high unmet need. For more information, read the press release here, and watch a replay of the webcast with leading colorectal cancer experts here.


In November 2025, Xilio announced additional new Phase 2 data presented at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper), which demonstrated the potential for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as an early predictive biomarker for response to treatment with vilastobart in combination with atezolizumab in patients with MSS mCRC. For more information, read the press release here.


Based on the promising clinical activity and safety profile demonstrated by vilastobart as a combination therapy, including in patients who had high plasma TMB, Xilio is actively seeking a partner to develop vilastobart in combination with PD-(L)1 or PD1-VEGF in MSS CRC and other tumor types.

Efarindodekin Alfa: tumor-activated IL-12

Xilio is evaluating efarindodekin alfa as a monotherapy in an ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors.


In November 2025, Xilio presented Phase 1 monotherapy dose escalation data for efarindodekin alfa at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) demonstrating promising monotherapy anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors as well as a generally well-tolerated safety profile at doses over 100-fold greater than the maximum tolerated dose of recombinant human IL-12. For more information, read the press release here.


In September 2025, Xilio announced the selection of an initial recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and schedule for efarindodekin alfa and initiated patient dosing in the Phase 2 portion of the clinical trial. In connection with the initiation of Phase 2, Xilio achieved a development milestone of $17.5 million under its license agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead). For more information, read the press release here.


Xilio has completed enrollment in the Phase 1A monotherapy dose escalation and Phase 1B monotherapy dose expansion portions of the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial, and evaluation of those patients is ongoing.

XTX501: bispecific PD-1 / masked IL-2

XTX501 is a novel, bispecific PD-1 / masked IL-2 designed to selectively stimulate PD-1 positive, antigen-experienced T cells and enhance their function. XTX501 incorporates masking designed to overcome IL-2 receptor-mediated clearance and peripheral activity. In preclinical studies, XTX501 demonstrated robust monotherapy activity (including in settings insensitive to PD-1) and tumor-selective pharmacodynamics consistent with its intended mechanism of action.


XTX501 is currently advancing through investigational new drug (IND)-enabling studies, and Xilio plans to submit an IND application for XTX501 in the middle of 2026.

Masked T Cell Engager Programs

Xilio is leveraging its proprietary, clinically validated tumor-activation platform to advance multiple preclinical programs for masked T cell engagers, including wholly owned programs targeting tumor-associated antigens for PSMA (prostate cancer), CLDN18.2 (gastric, pancreatic, esophageal and lung cancers) and STEAP1 (prostate, colorectal and lung cancers), as well as an additional program in collaboration with AbbVie Group Holdings Limited (AbbVie).

Xilio’s masked T cell engager programs include bispecific molecules designed using its advanced tumor-activated cell engager (ATACR) format, which consists of a T cell engager with a masked CD3 targeting domain, and tri-specific molecules designed using its selective effector-enhanced cell engager (SEECR) format. The SEECR format builds upon the ATACR format by adding co-stimulatory signaling designed to further enhance potency and durability of T cell activation.


In November 2025, Xilio presented new preclinical data at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) highlighting the potential for the company’s masking technology to significantly expand the therapeutic window for T cell engagers and overcome the challenges associated with current, systemically active non-masked T cell engagers. Xilio’s masked T cell engager molecules demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity with evidence of reduced systemic toxicity in murine models, supporting its broad applicability and potential best-in-class profile across a diverse range of targets, and the incorporation of co-stimulatory signaling in Xilio’s proprietary SEECR format enhanced durability of anti-tumor activity compared with T cell engager molecules that lacked co-stimulation. For more information, read the press release here.


In the third quarter of 2025, Xilio nominated a development candidate for its PSMA program (ATACR format).


Xilio anticipates nominating development candidates for its CLDN18.2 program (ATACR format) in the fourth quarter of 2025 and for its STEAP1 program (SEECR format) in the first half of 2026.


Xilio anticipates advancing at least two of these programs into IND-enabling studies and submitting IND applications for those programs in 2027.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results


Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents were $103.8 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $55.3 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by $52.0 million in total upfront payments under the collaboration, license and option agreement and stock purchase agreement entered into in February 2025 with AbbVie and $47.0 million in net proceeds received from Xilio’s June 2025 follow-on public offering, partially offset by cash used for operating activities.

"We continue to make strong progress both in our commercial and clinical activities," said Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx. "On the commercial side, we are encouraged by the continued RenovoCath clinical adoption we are seeing in the field. Year-to-date revenue, through the end of the third quarter, was approximately $900,000, reflecting the growing clinical need and market demand for targeted drug-delivery solutions. Since organically launching commercial sales less than a year ago, we have expanded from five centers at the start of 2025 to 14 leading cancer centers now approved to purchase RenovoCath, including several that have already made repeat orders."

"With the recent hiring of Philip Stocton as Senior Director of Sales & Market Development and two regional sales managers, we are building the foundation for sustained growth while maintaining a lean operating structure and prudent capital deployment philosophy," continued Mr. Bagai. "Our team remains laser-focused on strategic, data-driven expansion and is encouraged by the increasing physician-to-physician advocacy for our TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) platform as we continue to position RenovoRx for long-term success. Our mission continues with the goal of integrating an approach to therapeutic drug-delivery into the standard of care and ultimately improving patient outcomes by offering a more targeted and tolerable treatment path."

"On the clinical side, we continue to advance our Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial towards enrollment completion in early 2026 and final data readout in 2027, and we’ve successfully launched a new post-marketing registry study from which we expect to garner real-world evidence on the use of the RenovoCath device. We look forward to continuing our progress in the Phase III trial and post-market registry study as we seek to drive value for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Bagai.

Commercialization Update

RenovoRx continued to execute on its RenovoCath commercialization strategy in the third quarter of 2025, demonstrating progress as year-to-date revenue grew to approximately $900,000. Although small revenue fluctuations can be expected quarter-by-quarter at this early stage of commercialization, the positive trends of expanding approved cancer center customers and increasing clinical adoption are very promising.

As of November 7, 2025, RenovoRx has expanded from five cancer center customers approved to purchase RenovoCath at the start of the year to 14 customers. These include additional high-volume National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers and community hospitals. The growth in patient procedures using RenovoCath at five active centers has led to an increase in repeat purchase orders, underscoring both physician satisfaction and growing demand. In addition to these 14 centers now approved to purchase RenovoCath, the Company has delivered product quotes to 10 additional leading centers across the nation, bringing the total to 24 centers who have formally requested quotes for RenovoCath. In addition, RenovoRx has engaged with dozens of physicians, both at various medical conferences and within their institutions, who have expressed commercial interest in utilizing RenovoCath for their patients.

Since organically launching commercial sales less than a year ago without a dedicated sales and marketing team, RenovoRx has achieved early commercial traction that reflects the strong clinical need for targeted drug-delivery solutions designed to reduce systemic toxicity and improve quality of life. The Company’s small but growing team has established a diverse domestic geographic network of academic institutions, NCI-designated cancer centers, and high-volume community hospitals, both successfully implementing and interested in utilizing RenovoCath-enabled TAMP technology.

RenovoRx continues to collect valuable market insights, including sales cycle trends, activation timelines, customer preferences, and other commercial data, as the Company seeks to grow its customer base, fulfill repeat RenovoCath orders, and build a strong foundation for long-term commercial growth. These insights from the first year of commercialization will inform the Company’s strategy and execution plans heading into 2026.

To strengthen and expand the Company’s commercial efforts, in August 2025, RenovoRx announced the hiring of Philip Stocton as Senior Director of Sales and Market Development. Mr. Stocton brings more than 25 years of MedTech leadership, including a decade focused on interventional oncology. His expertise has been invaluable as the Company continues to broaden its footprint across the U.S., while maintaining a lean operating structure. In alignment with the existing budget and to respond to growing demand, the Company has added two regional sales managers and plans to add a marketing director to drive additional physician engagement by the end of the year.

RenovoRx continues to estimate that the initial total addressable market (TAM) for RenovoCath as a stand-alone device represents an approximately $400 million peak annual U.S. sales opportunity, with long-term, several-billion-dollar potential as the platform expands into additional solid tumor indications.

RenovoRx recently launched a commercial website for clinicians and staff to learn more about the RenovoCath device, as well for patients to find treatment cancer centers, which can be accessed here: View Source

Clinical Research and Scientific Programs Update

In the third quarter of 2025, RenovoRx continued advancing its ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial evaluating the novel drug-device combination oncology product candidate (intra-arterial gemcitabine delivered via RenovoCath, known as IAG). The trial remains on track, with enrollment expected to be completed in early 2026 and final data anticipated in 2027. Enabled by the RenovoCath device, TAMP is designed to deliver therapeutic agents across the arterial wall near the tumor site to bathe the target tumor, potentially optimizing local drug concentration while minimizing systemic exposure and related toxicities versus the standard of care, systemic intravenous therapy. TIGeR-PaC remains the cornerstone of RenovoRx’s clinical development program, validating its mechanism of action and safety profile through rigorous, long-term evaluation.

RenovoRx strengthened its Scientific Advisory Board during the third quarter with the additions of renowned surgeon and pancreatic cancer expert, Dr. Timothy Donahue, Director of the Agi Hirshberg Center for Pancreatic Diseases, Chief of the Division of Surgical Oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine, and Garry Shandling Chair in Pancreatic Surgery at UCLA, and Dr. Thierry de Baère, Head of Interventional Radiology at the Gustave Roussy Cancer Centre and University Paris-Saclay in France.

During the third quarter, RenovoRx advanced its broader clinical programs. The Company’s post-marketing registry study continues to progress, generating real-world data on the safety and effectiveness of RenovoCath in patients with solid tumors. In September, the first registry-eligible patient procedure was initiated at the University of Vermont Cancer Center, with Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center joining as additional study sites.

The Company also continues to support investigator-initiated trials in borderline resectable and oligometastatic pancreatic cancer. These capital-efficient studies are designed to be cost-neutral while providing meaningful data that may further broaden the application for the TAMP therapy platform.

Financial Highlights for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2025

Revenue: RenovoRx reported third quarter revenues of approximately $266,000, driven by both new customer orders and repeat purchases of the RenovoCath device. The quarter ended on September 30, 2025 marked the Company’s third full quarter of revenue generation from RenovoCath sales.

Cash Position: As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $10.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. Based on its current operating plan, RenovoRx believes this cash is sufficient to fund ongoing commercialization efforts for RenovoCath and the completion of enrollment in its Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial in early 2026.

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, remaining relatively unchanged from the same period in the prior year, reflecting continued investment in the TIGeR-PaC trial as well as support for investigator-initiated and registry studies.

SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in the prior year.

Net Loss: Net loss was $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Shares Outstanding: As of November 7, 2025, common shares outstanding totaled approximately 36.6 million.

General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $4.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $4.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to reduced spend for stock-based compensation and facility and operational expenses.

About Rezatapopt

Rezatapopt (PC14586) is a first-in-class, small molecule, p53 reactivator designed to selectively bind to the pocket in the p53 Y220C mutant protein, restoring the wild-type tumor-suppressor function. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted Fast Track designation to rezatapopt for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a p53 Y220C mutation.

About the PYNNACLE Clinical Trial

The ongoing Phase 1/2 PYNNACLE clinical trial is evaluating rezatapopt in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a TP53 Y220C mutation. The primary objective of the Phase 1 portion of the clinical trial was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of rezatapopt when administered orally to patients. Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and effects on biomarkers were also assessed. The Phase 2 portion is a registrational, single arm, expansion basket clinical trial comprising five cohorts (ovarian, lung, breast, and endometrial cancers, and other solid tumors) with the primary objective of evaluating the efficacy of rezatapopt at the RP2D in patients with TP53 Y220C and KRAS wild-type advanced solid tumors. For more information about the Phase 1/2 PYNNACLE clinical trial, refer to www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT trial identifier NCT04585750).

"We remain very pleased by Galleri’s commercial uptake with 39% growth in Galleri test volume in the third quarter. Our teams continue to build awareness of Galleri among providers and patients, and recent data from our registrational PATHFINDER 2 study adds to the evidence base," said Bob Ragusa, Chief Executive Officer at GRAIL. "We have also made key recent strides in opportunities beyond the U.S., led by our strategic collaboration with Samsung to bring Galleri to key Asian markets, as well as Galleri’s commercial introduction in Canada. Looking ahead, we anticipate completing our PMA submission for Galleri to the FDA in the first quarter of 2026."

Recent business highlights include:

Positive results from PATHFINDER 2 and SYMPLIFY studies add to the evidence base for the effectiveness of multi-cancer early detection.
Positive detailed performance and safety results from the pre-specified analysis of the first approximately 25,000 participants in the registrational PATHFINDER 2 study were presented at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) (Free ESMO Whitepaper) ("ESMO") Congress 2025 in October:
Adding Galleri to recommended screenings for breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancers (USPSTF A and B recommendations) led to a more than seven-fold increase in the number of cancers found within a year
Galleri detected approximately three times as many cancers when added to standard-of-care screening for breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate cancers (USPSTF A, B, and C recommendations)
Approximately three-quarters of the cancers detected by Galleri do not have standard of care screening options
More than half of the new cancers detected by Galleri were stage 1 or 2 and more than two-thirds were detected at stages 1-3
Galleri positive predictive value ("PPV"), or the likelihood of receiving a cancer diagnosis following a positive test result, was 61.6%
Specificity was 99.6%, translating to a false positive rate of 0.4%
Cancer signal of origin accuracy was 92%, leading to efficient diagnostic workups
Diagnostic resolution took a median of 46 days, and only 0.6% of all participants had an invasive procedure and invasive procedures were two times more common in participants with cancer than in those without
No serious, study-related adverse events were reported
Positive long-term results from an extended registry follow-up of the SYMPLIFY study with the University of Oxford were presented at the Early Detection of Cancer Conference ("EDCC") in October. A previous primary analysis, published in The Lancet Oncology, followed participants until diagnostic resolution or up to nine months and demonstrated Galleri’s PPV was 75.5%. Patients reported to have a false positive Galleri result were followed for 24 months in national cancer registries for England and Wales.
The updated analysis presented at EDCC showed that approximately one-third of participants initially believed to have a false positive result were later diagnosed with cancer during the subsequent follow up period
This reduction in false positives resulted in an increase of Galleri’s PPV in this symptomatic population to 84.2%
Announced a collaboration with Medcan, a global leader in proactive health and wellness services, to provide access to the Galleri test at Medcan’s clinics. Additionally, Manulife Canada announced it now offers access to Galleri, in partnership with Medcan, to eligible life insurance customers through its innovative Manulife Vitality program.
Announced a strategic collaboration with Samsung in October to bring the Galleri test to key Asian markets. Subject to execution of definitive agreements, the parties will work as exclusive partners to commercialize Galleri in Korea, and possibly other key Asian markets, including Japan and Singapore. In addition, the parties intend to explore potential additional strategic and operational collaborations. Samsung has also agreed to make an equity investment of $110 million in GRAIL, subject to closing conditions.
Completed a private placement of equity in October resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $325 million, before deducting placement agents’ fees and other expenses. Including proceeds from this transaction, GRAIL’s cash position of more than $850 million provides runway into 2030.
