Recent Highlights
-
Enrollment completed in Phase 2a trial of
XOMA 052 in patients with Type 2 diabetes: This randomized, placebo-controlled trial, in which 74 patients were enrolled, is designed to evaluate extended biologic activity and safety ofXOMA 052. Outcomes will include diabetes measures such as hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c, and fasting blood glucose, or FBG, and C-reactive protein, or hsCRP, a biomarker of inflammation associated with cardiovascular risk. Interim results from the first three months of treatment in this six month trial are expected to be announced in the first half ofJanuary 2011 .
-
Enrollment completed in Phase
2b trial ofXOMA 052 in patients with Type 2 diabetes: This randomized, placebo-controlled dose-ranging trial enrolled 420 patients and is designed to further evaluate the safety and efficacy ofXOMA 052 dosed once monthly compared to placebo. The results will include data on measurements of HbA1c, FBG and hsCRP. Top line results are expected to be announced in the first quarter of 2011.
-
XOMA 052 designated orphan drug inU.S. and European Union for the treatment of Behcet's disease: Orphan drug designation generally provides multi-year marketing exclusivity and other potential advantages for the development of new agents to treat rare diseases. InJune 2010 ,XOMA announced positive results from an open-label pilot study ofXOMA 052 in seven patients with Behcet's disease who were suffering from vision-threatening disease exacerbations, known as uveitis, despite maximal doses of immunosuppressive medicines.XOMA 052 was well-tolerated in this trial, and improvements in vision and ocular inflammation were observed in all seven patients following initial treatment, and in each of the five retreated patients.
-
$4 million received from sale of rights to CIMZIA® royalties and$750,000 milestone payment received from AVEO: The proceeds of the sale and milestone payment provide non-dilutive funding to support the development ofXOMA 052 and other programs.
-
$997,917 in grants awarded under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care program: All four of the applicationsXOMA submitted under this program were awarded to the maximum allocation, providing non-dilutive capital to advanceXOMA's programs to developXOMA 052,XOMA 3AB, and monoclonal antibody therapeutics for the treatment of metabolic and oncologic diseases. The award payments were authorized onOctober 29, 2010 .

About
-
XOMA 052, an anti-IL-1 beta antibody in Phase 2 clinical development for Type 2 diabetes with cardiovascular biomarkers, Type 1 diabetes, and with potential for the treatment of a wide range of inflammatory conditions.XOMA 052 also has demonstrated positive clinical benefit in a proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of vision-threatening uveitis of Behcet's disease.
-
XOMA 3AB, an antibody candidate in pre-IND studies to neutralize the botulinum toxin, among the most deadly potential bioterror threats, under development through funding provided by theNational Institute of Allergy andInfectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (Contract # HHSN266200600008C).
- A preclinical pipeline with candidates in development for autoimmune, inflammatory and oncologic diseases.
In addition to its proprietary pipeline,
The company has a premier antibody discovery and development platform that incorporates an unmatched collection of antibody phage display libraries and proprietary Human Engineering(tm), affinity maturation, Bacterial Cell Expression (BCE) and manufacturing technologies. BCE is a key breakthrough biotechnology for the discovery and manufacturing of antibodies and other proteins. As a result, sixty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies have signed BCE licenses, and several licensed product candidates are in clinical development.
