ASCO GI 2025: Initial Ph 2 Data for Vilastobart (XTX101) in Combination with Atezolizumab in Patients with MSS CRC announced
“We are very encouraged by the initial Phase 2 proof-of-concept data for the combination of vilastobart and atezolizumab in heavily pre-treated patients with MSS colorectal cancer, including partial responses accompanied by marked decreases in tumor biomarkers and improvement in clinical symptoms,” said Katarina Luptakova, M.D., chief medical officer of Xilio. “We believe these data highlight the important contribution of vilastobart in this combination, as PD-(L)1 inhibitors alone have demonstrated no meaningful efficacy in patients with MSS CRC to date. The preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity, together with continued evidence of a well-tolerated safety profile, support the potential for the combination in MSS colorectal cancer, as well as in other tumors that have traditionally been resistant to treatment with immunotherapy. We look forward to sharing additional Phase 2 data, including further follow-up, in patients with metastatic MSS CRC in the middle of this year.”
