One key asset in their portfolio is X358, an allosteric monoclonal antibody aimed at treating hyperinsulinism by reducing insulin receptor activity.
XOMA has recently expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions. In January 2024, the company acquired an economic interest in DSUVIA® (sufentanil sublingual tablet) from Talphera, Inc., for $8 million.

Kinnate’s lead candidates include investigational pan-RAF inhibitor exarafenib and FGFR inhibitor KIN-3248, both targeting cancers with specific genetic alterations.
In April 2024, XOMA announced a $9 million milestone following the FDA approval of Day One Biopharmaceuticals’ OJEMDA™ (tovorafenib), designed to treat pediatric low-grade glioma harboring BRAF alterations. This approval marks a significant addition to XOMA's cash flow and royalty income.
Additionally, XOMA's economic interest in three of Daré Bioscience's women's health products, including the FDA-approved XACIATO™ (clindamycin phosphate) vaginal gel, Ovaprene®, and Sildenafil Cream, 3.6%, signifies their commitment to addressing underrepresented therapeutic areas with significant growth potential.
