Reports Q2 revenue $16.96M, consensus $15.83M. “Xencor’s clinical focus is developing high-potential, first-in-class bispecific T-cell engagers and additional XmAb(R) candidates that leverage our differentiated technology platforms. The expanding opportunities for engineered antibodies, T-cell engagers and other bispecifics have encouraged us to advance a range of new XmAb candidates, and we plan to announce our next candidates for clinical development in the coming months,” said Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Xencor. “We remain enthusiastic by the progress of our clinical-stage T-cell engager programs and advancements within the platform to date in 2024. Our dose-escalation studies of XmAb819 (ENPP3 x CD3) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and XmAb808 (B7-H3 x CD28) in advanced solid tumors remain on track to reach target dose levels by year end, and XmAb541 (CLDN6 x CD3) is off to a strong clinical start with initial study enrollment.”
