Profile

Xenetic Biosciences, Inc.XBIOHealth Care

Develops DNase-based cancer-treatment adjuncts, including systemic DNase I and a DNase I-armored CAR-T approach. Its asset-light program relies on third parties, while all revenue comes from royalties on a legacy PolyXen sublicense.

Develops systemic DNase I and DNase I-armored CAR-T programs intended to clear neutrophil extracellular traps that may hinder cancer treatment. XBIO-015 targets pancreatic carcinoma and other solid tumors, while XBIO-020 is designed to deliver DNase I in the tumor microenvironment alongside CAR-T tumor-killing activity.

Operates through external specialists: candidate manufacturing, preclinical research, translational work and exploratory studies span United States partners and Israeli medical centers. Its only revenue is royalty income from a Takeda sublicense of legacy PolyXen patents, not drug sales.

Maintains no internal research facility and depends on contract manufacturers, contract research organizations, academic institutions, consultants, licensed rights from CLS Therapeutics and investigator-led study partners.
