Undisclosed TL1A x IL23 XmAb Program / Xencor - LARVOL DELTA

Xencor Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results (Businesswire) - "XmAb TL1A x IL23p19: Xencor is conducting lead selection studies and has begun good manufacturing practice (GMP) production campaigns for a TL1A x IL-23p19 bispecific antibody, that is designed to target two important inflammatory pathways for autoimmune and inflammatory disease while avoiding the complexities of dosing and formulary access for two separate TL1A and IL23 targeted drugs. In vitro studies show that several lead candidates match the target inhibition potency of monospecific antibodies to these targets, in a simple IgG bispecific format. Xencor anticipates initiating first-in-human studies during 2026."
