Xencor's Partner Initiates Phase 2 Clinical Trial of a Biologic Candidate Using XmAb® Cytotoxic Fc Domain

MONROVIA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Xencor, Inc. (XNCR), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing engineered monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, asthma and allergic diseases, and cancer, today announced that its partner CSL Limited has initiated, through its licensee Janssen Biotech Inc., a Phase 2 clinical trial for CSL362 (now called JNJ-56022473), which uses Xencor's XmAb® Cytotoxic Fc Domain.

"CSL's program is the third drug candidate using our XmAb technology to start Phase 2 clinical trials," said Bassil Dahiyat, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Xencor. "By selectively licensing our XmAb technology, we believe we create value in non-core areas, thus allowing us to focus on advancing our key internal development programs."

Xencor will receive an undisclosed milestone payment for the initiation of Phase 2 testing. Under the terms of the agreement signed in February 2009, Xencor granted CSL Limited a non-exclusive license to Xencor Cytotoxic Fc Domains for use in CSL programs, including CSL362. Xencor is also eligible to receive additional milestone payments and royalties on sales. In 2013, CSL Limited licensed CSL362 to Janssen Biotech Inc.
