-- ESMO presentation to highlight expansion-cohort results for IV doses evaluated for recommended Phase 3 dose -- -- Pivotal study of XmAb819 monotherapy in advanced ccRCC, planned to begin in 2027 -- PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xencor, Inc. (NASDAQ:XNCR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered antibodies for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announced that results from a Phase 1 study of XmAb819, an ENPP3 x CD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) were accepted for a proffered paper oral presentation at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026, to be held October 23-27 in Madrid, Spain. Details of the Proffered Paper Oral Presentation ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(131); }); Title: Phase 1 results of XmAb819, a novel ENPP3 x CD3 bispecific, in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) Presenter: Sumanta Pal, M.D., FASCO, Professor and Vice Chair of Academic Affairs, City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center ESMO has indicated that the abstract will be available on its website at 3:05 p.m. PDT on Sunday, October 18. XmAb819 Evaluation Across ENPP3+ Tumors XmAb819 is being evaluated for the treatment of patients with ENPP3+ tumors in a Phase 1 clinical study (Clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT05433142). Initial results from dose-escalation in advanced ccRCC were presented during the AACR-NCI-EORTC Conference in October 2025. Currently: Expansion cohorts are evaluating intravenous doses to support selection of a dose for the planned Phase 3 pivotal study for patients with advanced ccRCC, Dose escalation of subcutaneous administration in advanced ccRCC is ongoing, A sub-study for patients with ENPP3+ advanced colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and papillary renal cell carcinoma opened to enrollment in the second quarter of 2026, and A sub-study for patients with intermediate- or poor-risk advanced ccRCC who have progressed after nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab as a first-line treatment (IO doublet therapy) is planned to open to enrollment in the third quarter of 2026. About XmAb819 XmAb819 is a first-in-class, tumor-targeted, T-cell engaging XmAb® 2+1 bispecific antibody in development for patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and other tumors with high ENPP3 expression, including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and papillary renal cell carcinoma. XmAb819 engages the immune system and activates T cells for highly potent and targeted lysis of tumor cells expressing ENPP3. ENPP3 is a differentially expressed target, with high-level expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and low-level expression on normal tissues. With two tumor-antigen binding domains and one T-cell binding domain, Xencor’s XmAb® 2+1 format enables antibodies to bind more avidly and selectively kill tumor cells with higher antigen density, potentially sparing normal cells. About Xencor Xencor is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered antibodies for the treatment of patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. More than 20 candidates engineered with Xencor's XmAb® technology are in clinical development, and multiple XmAb medicines are marketed by partners. Xencor’s XmAb engineering technology enables small changes to a protein’s structure that result in new mechanisms of therapeutic action. For more information, please visit .
