New hope for kidney cancer: experimental drug XmAb819 enters human trials
NCT ID NCT05433142
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new drug called XmAb819 in people with advanced clear cell kidney cancer that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to check the drug's safety and find the best dose. About 307 participants will receive the drug intravenously or as a shot under the skin.
Why investors are watching
Xencor is testing XmAb819, an experimental drug, in 307 patients with a type of kidney cancer that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. This phase 1 trial measures safety and finds the right dose, and for a small company like Xencor, the result will show whether the drug is worth advancing. A clear safety profile and signs of disease control would validate the company's pipeline.
If it works: A positive result could show that XmAb819 is safe and has biological activity, which would support moving the drug into later-stage trials. That progress could strengthen Xencor's position as a developer of cancer treatments.
If it fails: Phase 1 trials often fail because the drug proves too toxic or shows no benefit, and a poor outcome could set back Xencor's development plans for this drug. Delays in enrollment or dosing could also slow the program and consume resources.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must have measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by the local site investigator. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions. * Subjects who have relapsed and refractory ccRCC, pRCC, NSCLC, and CRC with evidence of disease progression on standard-of-care therapies * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. * All subjects must have adequate tumor sample available (slides or archival FFPE blocks) Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with an investigational anti-ENPP3/CD203c therapy * History of serious allergic or anaphylactic/hypersensitivity reaction to monoclonal antibody therapy * Systemic antineoplastic therapy within 5 half-lives on the first dose of study treatment. * Failure to recover from any clinically significant toxicity related to previous anticancer treatment * Have known active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Subjects with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, * Active known autoimmune disease (except that subjects are permitted to enroll if they have vitiligo; type 1 diabetes mellitus; residual hypothyroidism due to an autoimmune condition that is treatable with hormone replacement therapy only; psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or another autoimmune skin condition that is managed without systemic therapy; or arthritis that is managed without systemic therapy beyond oral acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) * Evidence of any serious infection requiring IV anti-infective treatment within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug * Have a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years
