Xenetic Biosciences (NASDAQ:XBIO) presented positive preclinical data showing the potential of co-administering DNase I with CAR T cells in treating melanoma lung metastasis. The study demonstrated that a single injection of DNase I (10 mg/kg) with EGFR-CAR T cells significantly suppressed metastatic tumor burden and extended survival compared to CAR T cell therapy alone. Key findings showed that DNase I increases tumor-infiltrating T and CAR T cells while reducing immunosuppressive effects. The research supports DNase I's potential as an adjunctive treatment to improve CAR T cell therapy responses, particularly in solid tumors where traditional CAR T cell therapy has shown efficacy.
Xenetic Biosciences (NASDAQ:XBIO) reported Q3 2024 financial results, showing a net loss of $0.4 million. R&D expenses decreased by 63.9% to $0.4 million compared to $1.0 million in Q3 2023, primarily due to reduced spending on DNase platform development. The company continues advancing its DNase-based oncology program towards Phase 1 clinical trials for pancreatic carcinoma and other solid tumors. Preliminary preclinical studies combining DNase I with chemotherapy, immuno-therapies, and CAR-T therapy in colorectal cancer models have been completed. The company ended Q3 with $6.8 million in cash.
Xenetic Biosciences (NASDAQ:XBIO) presented positive preclinical data demonstrating that DNase I significantly enhances the effectiveness of anti-CTLA-4 immune checkpoint blockade in colorectal carcinoma models. The study showed that systemic DNase I combined with α-CTLA-4 antibody successfully promoted antitumor immunity and generated immunological memory against microsatellite stable, mismatch repair proficient colorectal carcinoma tumors. Key findings include tumor growth inhibition, complete responses in mice, and enhanced survival rates. The data suggests DNase I impedes neutrophil tumor infiltration while promoting T cell infiltration and activation, potentially addressing unmet needs in cancer treatments where immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown efficacy.
Xenetic Biosciences (NASDAQ:XBIO) announced that its abstract has been accepted for poster presentation at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 39th Annual Meeting. The event will take place from November 6-10, 2024, in Houston, Texas and virtually.

Xenetic Biosciences (NASDAQ:XBIO) has entered into a Materials Transfer Agreement with Tokyo Medical University to advance its systemic DNase program. The agreement involves evaluating the effects of human recombinant DNase I (rhDNase I) in combination with chemotherapy for Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive pediatric cancer.
Professor Takuro Nakamura will lead the research using a proprietary immunocompetent preclinical mouse model. This model reflects the characteristics of human Ewing sarcoma and has shown translational relevance. The study aims to assess DNase's ability to reduce neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor microenvironment and enhance chemotherapy efficacy.
Previous clinical studies at Tel Aviv Medical Center demonstrated that NETs formation in Ewing sarcoma tumors is an independent prognostic factor, with higher NETs levels associated with poor prognosis and treatment response.
