Xilio Therapeutics, Inc. — Cyborg Score 6/10

Solid
Biotechnology / Immuno-Oncology

Strategic Profile

Key programs include vilastobart, an investigational tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 antibody being studied in combination with atezolizumab, and efarindodekin alfa (XTX301), a tumor-activated IL-12 in Phase 1/2 trials. The company has approximately $137.5 million in cash as of December 31, 2025, with funding extending its anticipated cash runway into Q2 2027.

Cyborg Score Rationale

Phase 2 vilastobart data showed a 40% ORR in heavily pretreated MSS mCRC patients without liver metastases with promising response correlation to plasma TMB. However, as a clinical-stage biotech with limited approved products and significant cash burn, Xilio faces typical early-stage execution risks and market competition.

Top Insights

  • Phase 2 vilastobart achieved 40% objective response rate in heavily pretreated MSS mCRC patients, demonstrating clinical validation of masked I-O approach
  • Recent $40M capital raise backed by prominent investors including Gilead Sciences, OrbiMed, and Perceptive Advisors
  • AbbVie collaboration ongoing with development milestone achieved for masked antibody program
  • Stock trading near $0.70/share (March 2026) reflects biotech risk profile and clinical stage status
