XyloCor Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel therapies for cardiovascular disease, announced the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2b EXACT-2 trial, designed to evaluate its gene therapy candidate XC001 (encoberminogene rezmadenovec) in individuals with coronary artery disease and refractory angina. XC001 is an adenoviral vector-based gene therapy encoding for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), uniquely designed as a one-time catheter-based treatment to reduce cardiac ischemia by creating new blood vessels in the heart and thereby reducing episodes of chest pain and improving patient ability to perform everyday activities. This percutaneous administration approach, injecting directly into the heart muscle, allows XC001 to achieve higher gene expression levels locally in the heart while minimizing systemic vector circulation and associated side effects.

XyloCor Therapeutics, Inc., (“XyloCor”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for cardiovascular disease, today announced the completion of a $67.5 million Series B financing.

XyloCor Therapeutics, Inc. (“XyloCor”), a clinical‑stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for cardiovascular disease, and SmartWise, a unit of SmartCella Holding AB (“SmartCella”), have entered into a licensing agreement under which XyloCor has rights to the Extroducer® Infusion Catheter System ®, a first-in-class endovascular device designed to deliver advanced therapies directly into the heart [and hard-to-reach tissues] . XyloCor plans to deploy the Extroducer to support catheter-based endocardial delivery of its lead gene therapy candidate, XC001 (encoberminogene rezmadenovec), in future clinical studies and commercial use.

XyloCor Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical‑stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for cardiovascular disease, today presented final results from the Phase 2 portion of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial (EXACT) of its lead gene therapy candidate XC001 (encoberminogene rezmadenovec) for refractory angina at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) 2024 Scientific Sessions, May 2-4, 2024 in Long Beach, CA. These encouraging results supporting XC001’s safety and efficacy potential are being simultaneously published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions.

XyloCor Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical‑stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for cardiovascular disease, today presented results from the Phase 2 portion of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial (EXACT) of its lead gene therapy candidate XC001 (encoberminogene rezmadenovec) for refractory angina at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2023. During the ESC Congress poster session, Dr. Thomas Povsic, Principal Investigator of the EXACT trial, presented the primary six-month outcome data from the recently completed EXACT trial, which demonstrated that treatment with XC001 resulted in improvements across all key efficacy endpoints. The findings underscore its strong potential as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of this disabling condition.

XyloCor Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel gene therapies for cardiovascular disease, announced today that Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions has published results from the Phase 1 portion of its Phase 1/2 clinical trial (EXACT) of lead gene therapy candidate XC001 (encoberminogene rezmadenovec) in patients with refractory angina. The findings from the Phase 1 dose escalation study, previously reported at the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) and the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) in May 2022, revealed that XC001 is well tolerated at all dose levels and provided justification to proceed to Phase 2 with the highest dose tested.
