Phase 1 safety test of XmAb657 in healthy adults and people with myositis, scleroderma, or Sjögren's
Official title: A Phase 1, First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of XmAb657 in Healthy Participants and in Participants With Autoimmune Diseases
Run by Xencor, Inc. · NCT07284797 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study will test whether subcutaneous injections of XmAb657 are safe and well tolerated in healthy adults and people with autoimmune diseases such as idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic sclerosis, or primary Sjögren's syndrome.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults in good health for the healthy cohort or adults who meet the 2017 EULAR/ACR criteria for IIM, the 2013 ACR/EULAR criteria for systemic sclerosis, or the 2016 ACR/EULAR criteria for primary Sjögren's and who agree to use effective contraception.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active or recurrent infections, untreated latent tuberculosis, recent major surgery, recent cancer or lymphoproliferative disease, or uncontrolled cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, endocrine, or gastrointestinal disease are unlikely to benefit and are excluded.

What this trial studies
This is an open-label Phase 1 trial that administers XmAb657 subcutaneously to cohorts of healthy adults and adults who meet established classification criteria for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic sclerosis, or primary Sjögren's syndrome. The study is designed to collect safety and tolerability data and to measure pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity signals. Standard exclusion criteria apply, including recent major surgery, active or recurrent infections, untreated latent tuberculosis, recent cancer, and uncontrolled major organ disease. The sponsor is Xencor, Inc., and dosing and follow-up occur at the listed investigative site in Melbourne.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, XmAb657 could become a new immune-targeting treatment option for people with certain autoimmune diseases that are poorly controlled by current therapies.
How similar studies have gone: Other monoclonal antibody therapies targeting immune pathways have shown benefit in some autoimmune diseases, but XmAb657 itself is an early-stage investigational agent with limited prior clinical data.
