Study Update summary
15 Jan, 2026Platform and Mechanism Overview
Vilastobart (XTX101) is a tumor-activated, Fc-enhanced anti-CTLA-4 antibody designed for selective activation by dysregulated MMPs in solid tumors, aiming to minimize systemic toxicity and deplete regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment.
The pipeline includes Vilastobart in phase II for MSS-CRC, XTX-301 (tumor-activated IL-12) in phase I, and preclinical bispecific and cell engager programs.
The program is part of a co-funded clinical collaboration with Roche and is advancing through Phase 1C and Phase 2 trials.
Unmet Need in MSS Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the US and the leading cause in men under 50.
Most metastatic CRC patients are microsatellite stable (MSS) and lack actionable mutations, with current therapies offering minimal survival benefit and low response rates.
Immunotherapy has shown little efficacy in MSS-CRC, especially in patients with liver metastases.
Study Design and Patient Population
Phase 1C enrolled 17 heavily pre-treated patients with advanced solid tumors, including 12 with MSS CRC, median age 69, most with three or more prior therapies.
Vilastobart was administered at 75, 100, or 150 mg Q6W with atezolizumab 1200 mg Q3W; enrollment is ongoing at 150 mg.
Seven patients remained on treatment at data cutoff.
