About Xilio Therapeutics

Xilio Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that uses its proprietary technology to develop next-generation cancer immunotherapies. Our product candidates are engineered to unleash the power of the immune system selectively at the site of the tumor. Thus, we have designed them to maximize efficacy while overcoming the significant toxicities associated with clinically validated immuno-oncology (IO) therapies, such as IL-2 and anti-CTLA4. The broad applicability of these therapies across cancer types means that a significant number of patients could benefit from these potentially curative medicines.
