Current report

In June 2025, we closed a follow-on public offering of prefunded warrants and accompanying common stock warrants and received net proceeds of $47.0 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. In connection with the offering, we issued prefunded warrants to purchase 66,676,000 shares of common stock, accompanied by Series A warrants to purchase 66,676,000 shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, prefunded warrants), Series B warrants to purchase 66,676,000 shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, prefunded warrants) and Series C warrants to purchase 66,676,000 shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, prefunded warrants). If the Series B warrants and Series C warrants are exercised in cash at their initial exercise price of $0.75 per warrant, we will receive up to $100.0 million of additional gross proceeds by the second half of 2026. For more information, refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report

On February 10, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary Xilio Development, Inc., or Xilio Development, entered into a collaboration, license and option agreement with AbbVie Group Holdings Limited, or AbbVie, for up to four programs leveraging our proprietary tumor-activation technology and platform, consisting of (i) an exclusive option for (a) an initial program to discover, develop and commercialize masked T cell engager molecules for an agreed upon initial target and backup target, which we refer to as the initial option program, and (b) subject to the terms of the agreement, up to two additional programs to discover, develop, and commercialize masked T cell engager molecules for an initial target and backup target determined at the time of program initiation, each of which we refer to as an additional option program and (ii) an exclusive license for a program to develop and commercialize a masked antibody-based immunotherapy, which we refer to as the collaboration program. We refer to the initial option program and the additional option programs, collectively, as the option programs.

Previous report

Under the agreement, we granted AbbVie an option to obtain an exclusive global license to exploit products discovered and developed under the initial option program. During the three-year period following the effective date of the agreement,

Previous report

AbbVie has the right to initiate up to two additional option programs by (a) selecting an initial target and backup target for each such additional option program (excluding the target known as PSMA) and any other target for which we have completed specified activities prior to lead selection) and (b) paying us an additional program nomination fee for each additional option program. In addition, on an option program-by-option program basis, prior to the initiation of specified activities related to lead optimization and selection for the initial target for such option program, AbbVie has a one-time right to substitute the initial target with the backup target agreed upon by the parties at the time of option program initiation, subject to the payment by AbbVie of a one-time substitution fee with respect to such substituted target and the other terms of the agreement.

Previous report

For the initial option program, AbbVie’s option right is exercisable beginning on the effective date of the agreement, and for each additional option program, AbbVie’s option right is exercisable following delivery of written notice of nomination of such additional option program. For each option program, prior to option exercise, we will be responsible for conducting preclinical discovery and development up to the completion of investigational new drug application enabling studies, subject to AbbVie paying us option extension fees upon completion of specified stages of preclinical discovery and development. Unless AbbVie elects to extend preclinical development through the next stage and pays the applicable option extension fee, AbbVie’s option right terminates within a specified time period following completion of each stage of preclinical development. Upon exercising its option for an option program, AbbVie will be responsible for any remaining preclinical development, if applicable, and all clinical development, regulatory and commercialization activities with respect to licensed products under the applicable option program.

Previous report

In connection with the collaboration program, we granted AbbVie an exclusive global license to exploit products discovered and developed under the collaboration program. We are responsible for conducting all preclinical development through lead generation, and AbbVie is responsible for all further development and commercialization activities for any licensed products generated under the collaboration program.

Previous report

Under the agreement, we have received $52.0 million in total upfront payments, consisting of a cash payment of $42.0 million and an equity investment of $10.0 million in our common stock at a purchase price of $2.30 per share. In addition, we will be eligible to receive up to approximately $2.1 billion in additional contingent payments, consisting of (i) up to $305.0 million in aggregate program nomination fees, preclinical development option extension fees and option fees for the option programs and (ii) up to $1.8 billion in aggregate development, regulatory and sales-based milestones for all option programs and the collaboration program. In addition, we are eligible to receive tiered royalties ranging in the high single digits on annual global net product sales for the option program and tiered royalties ranging in the mid-single digits on annual global net product sales for the collaboration program.

Previous report

Subject to the terms, conditions and specified exceptions set forth in the agreement, until the agreement is terminated or expires with respect to an option program or the collaboration program, we have agreed to work exclusively with AbbVie with respect to the target for (i) each option program and (ii) the collaboration program. In addition, we have agreed to work exclusively with AbbVie with respect to the backup target for each option program until the expiration of the applicable target substitution period. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, the agreement will expire upon expiration of the last royalty term for the last licensed product. AbbVie may terminate the agreement for convenience upon specified time periods. On an option program-by-option program basis, if AbbVie elects not to pay the applicable option extension fee following completion of each stage of preclinical development, or if AbbVie elects not to exercise its option right and pay the option exercise fee for the applicable option program, then the agreement will automatically terminate with respect to such option program. Subject to the terms and specified exceptions set forth in the agreement, either party may terminate the agreement for the other party’s uncured material breach or insolvency.

The increase in other income, net, was primarily due to an increase in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents due to a higher average cash balance.

Previous report

prefunded warrants to certain existing accredited investors, Gilead and AbbVie in private placements and $9.1 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock through our ATM offerings. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $89.1 million.
Reworded paragraphs (22)

Previous wording

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing tumor-activated, or masked, immuno-oncology, or I-O, therapies with the goal of significantly improving outcomes for people living with cancer without the systemic side effects of current I-O treatments. We are leveraging our proprietary platform to advance a pipeline of novel, tumor-activated I-O molecules that are designed to optimize the therapeutic index by localizing anti-tumor activity within the tumor microenvironment, including masked antibodies, bispecifics, cytokines and immune cell engagers. Current I-O therapies have curative potential for patients with cancer. However, their potential is significantly curtailed by systemic toxicity that results from activity of the therapeutic molecule outside the tumor microenvironment. Our molecules are engineered to localize activity within the tumor microenvironment with minimal systemic effects, resulting in the potential to achieve enhanced anti-tumor activity and increasing the population of patients who may be eligible to receive our medicines. To date, we have presented data across our clinical-stage programs showing clinical validation for our tumor-activation platform. Our most advanced clinical-stage product candidates are vilastobart, an Fc-enhanced, tumor-activated, anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody, or mAb, and XTX301, a tumor-activated, engineered interleukin 12, or IL-12, therapy. We are currently advancing clinical development for vilastobart in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with metastatic microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, or MSS CRC, under a co-funded clinical trial collaboration with F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, or Roche. In January 2025, we announced initial data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial, and we plan to report additional data from the Phase 2 clinical trial, including additional response assessments and further follow-up on the previously reported data, at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting. XTX301 is currently advancing in clinical development in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advance solid tumors under our exclusive license agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc., or Gilead. In addition to our clinical-stage product candidates, we are leveraging our proprietary tumor-activation platform to advance multiple preclinical programs for a masked PD-1/IL-2 bispecific and masked T cell engager molecules.

In May 2025, we announced updated data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, demonstrating additional anti-tumor activity, further duration of responses and a generally well-tolerated safety profile and we anticipate reporting additional data from the Phase 2 trial in the first half of 2026. For XTX301, we have completed enrollment in Phase 1A monotherapy dose escalation and evaluation of those patients is ongoing, and we continue to enroll patients in Phase 1B monotherapy dose expansion of our ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors under our exclusive license agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc., or Gilead. In addition to our clinical-stage product candidates, we are leveraging our proprietary tumor-activation platform to advance multiple preclinical programs for XTX501, a masked PD-1/IL-2 bispecific and masked T cell engager molecules, including wholly owned programs targeting the tumor-associated antigens for PSMA, CLDN18.2 and STEAP1 and an additional program under our collaboration, license and option agreement with AbbVie Group Holdings Limited, or AbbVie.

Previous wording

To date, we have financed our operations primarily from proceeds raised through private placements of preferred units, convertible preferred stock, common stock and prefunded warrants; a debt financing; our initial public offering, or IPO, of common stock in October 2021; upfront payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead; and sales of common stock through at-the-market, or ATM, offerings. We have not generated any revenue from product sales and do not expect to generate any revenue from product sales for at least the next several years, if at all. All of our programs are in early clinical or preclinical development. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability will depend heavily on the successful development and eventual commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, if approved. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when or if we will be able to achieve profitability. Even if we are able to generate revenue from product sales, we may not become profitable.

Previous wording

As a result, we will need substantial additional capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our strategy. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $89.1 million. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2026. Since these amounts are not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there is substantial doubt about our ability

Current wording

As a result, we will need substantial additional capital to support our continuing operations and pursue our strategy. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $121.6 million. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of the third quarter of 2026. However, we have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we anticipate. In addition, we expect our operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our pipeline of novel, tumor-activated I-O molecules through preclinical and clinical development, maintain the infrastructure necessary to support these activities and continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional capital, which could be obtained through the cash exercise, if any, of the Series B warrants and Series C warrants issued in connection with our June 2025 follow-on public offering, the receipt of milestone payments, option-related fees or other contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead and AbbVie, additional public or private equity offerings, debt financings, additional collaborations, partnerships or licensing

Previous wording

to continue as a going concern. Our management has developed plans to fund our operations, which in the near term primarily consist of raising additional capital through one or more of the following: additional equity or debt financings; additional collaborations, partnerships or licensing transactions; or other sources. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise, and we may be unable to obtain sufficient additional capital. If we are not able to secure sufficient additional capital in the near term, we will need to implement additional cost reduction strategies, which could include delaying, limiting, further reducing or eliminating both internal and external costs related to our operations and research and development programs.

However, there can be no assurance that we will receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the common stock warrants or from contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead or AbbVie or that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. If we are not able to secure sufficient additional capital when needed, we may need to implement additional cost reduction strategies, which could include delaying, limiting, further reducing or eliminating both internal and external costs related to our operations and research and development programs.

Previous wording

Research and development activities are central to our business model. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs than those in earlier stages of clinical development, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. We expect that our research and development expenses will remain approximately the same or will continue to increase for the foreseeable future as we advance our programs and our current or future product candidates into and through the development phase. We expect our discovery research efforts and our related personnel costs to remain consistent with historical levels. In addition, as we progress our most advanced product candidates in clinical development, we may incur additional expenses related to milestone and royalty payments payable to third parties with whom we have entered into, or may enter into license, acquisition, option or other agreements to acquire the rights to future products and product candidates. In the event we are unable to raise sufficient additional capital in the near term to fund our operations, we will be required to adopt cost reduction strategies that seek to maintain our ability to continue the development of our most advanced product candidates in clinical development while otherwise reducing our overall research and development expenses.

Through June 30, 2025, we have received an aggregate of $531.8 million in gross proceeds from such transactions, including $224.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of preferred units and convertible preferred stock, $129.9 million in gross proceeds from our IPO, $72.0 million in upfront cash payments under our collaboration and license agreements with AbbVie and Gilead, $46.3 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock and prefunded warrants in private placements with certain existing accredited investors, Gilead and AbbVie, $9.1 million in gross proceeds from the sale and issuance of common stock through at-the-market offerings and $50.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of prefunded warrants and common stock warrants through a follow-on public offering. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $121.6 million.

In November 2022, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register for sale up to $250.0 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, units and warrants, which we could issue and sell from time to time in one or more offerings, which became effective on November 18, 2022 (333-268264), or the Prior S-3 Shelf. In November 2022, we entered into a sales agreement, or the Cowen Sales Agreement, with Cowen and Company LLC under which we could issue and sell shares of our common stock, from time to time, having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million under a sales agreement prospectus filed as part of the Prior S-3 Shelf.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we issued and sold an additional 1,550,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the Cowen Sales Agreement at a weighted average price of $1.3348 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million. In March 2025, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register for sale up to $250.0 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, units and warrants, which we may issue and sell from time to time in one or more offerings, which became effective on May 8, 2025 (333-285703), or the New S-3 Shelf.

Prior to the effectiveness of the New S-3 Shelf, the offering of shares under the Leerink Sales Agreement was registered under the Prior S-3 Shelf. In connection with the effectiveness of the New S-3 Shelf, the registration of such offering under the Prior S-3 Shelf was terminated and such offering was registered under the New S-3 Shelf.

Previous wording

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $89.1 million. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the first quarter of 2026. However, we have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we anticipate. In addition, since these amounts are not expected to be sufficient to fund our operations for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our management has developed plans to fund our operations, which in the near term primarily consist of raising additional capital through one or more of the following: additional equity or debt financings; additional collaborations partnerships or licensing transactions; or other sources. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise, and we may be unable to obtain sufficient additional capital. If we are not able to secure sufficient additional capital in the near term, we will need to implement additional cost reduction strategies, which could include delaying, limiting, further reducing or eliminating both internal and external costs related to our operations and research and development programs. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business for the foreseeable future. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Current wording

As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $121.6 million. Based on our current operating plans, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025 will be sufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through the end of the third quarter of 2026. However, we have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we anticipate. In addition, we expect our operating losses and negative operating cash flows to continue for the foreseeable future as we continue to advance our pipeline of novel, tumor-activated I-O molecules through preclinical and clinical development, maintain the infrastructure necessary to support these activities and continue to incur costs associated with operating as a public company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In order to fund our operations, we will need to raise additional capital, which could be obtained through the cash exercise, if any, of the Series B warrants and Series C warrants issued in connection with our June 2025 follow-on public offering, the receipt of milestone payments, option-related fees or other contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead and AbbVie, additional public or private equity offerings, debt financings, additional collaborations, partnerships or licensing arrangements or other sources. However, there can be no assurance that we will receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the common stock warrants or from contingent payments under our existing agreements with Gilead or AbbVie or that the we will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. If we are not able to secure sufficient additional capital when needed, we may need to implement additional cost reduction strategies, which could include delaying, limiting, further reducing or eliminating both internal and external costs related to our operations and research and development programs. For more information regarding our liquidity and going concern, refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For more information regarding the terms of the warrants we issued in our June 2025 follow-on public offering, refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Except as described in Note 2,*Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,*to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
