3 Xilio is a Clinical - Stage Company, Well - Positioned for Multiple Anticipated Milestones Across 3 Clinical Programs in 2023 * Patient dosing and evaluation in Phase 1 monotherapy dose - escalation cohort is ongoing. Plan to explore opportunities for str ategic collaborations to advance XTX101 and do not plan to initiate an anti - PD - 1 combination cohort in the Phase 1 trial or initiate a Phase 2 trial without a de velopment partner. XTX101 : Completed enrollment in monotherapy dose - escalation cohort (Q4 2022)* XTX202 : Initiated enrollment in monotherapy expansion cohort (Q4 2022) XTX301 : IND cleared (November 2022) XTX101 : Report data from Phase 1 trial (Q2 2023) XTX202 : Initiate enrollment in Phase 2 (monotherapy) trial (1H 2023) XTX301 : Initiate enrollment in monotherapy dose - escalation (Q1 2023) XTX202 : Report preliminary anti - tumor activity and safety data from Phase 1/2 trial (Q3 2023) XTX301 : Report preliminary safety data from Phase 1 trial (Q4 2023) Q4 2022 1H 2023 2H 2023 • Focused pipeline prioritization • Responsible financial discipline, success - gated investment • Capital - efficient monotherapy clinical trial designs Anticipate existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into Q2 2024 |
4 The Promise and Pitfalls of Immuno - Oncology Therapy • Immuno - oncology (IO) therapies have transformed the treatment landscape and long - term outlook for some patients with advanced cancer - IO treatments are primarily available for “hot” tumors, while “warm” and “cold” tumors continue to make up the majority of annual cancer deaths • IO therapies engage the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells - Potential to be curative - Potential to address wide range of tumor types • But treatment potential for some of the most exciting IO targets has been impeded by dose - limiting systemic toxicity - Fatal multi - organ adverse events and peripheral side effects can occur with more potent IO agents - Often results in dose reductions, interruptions or discontinuations for many patients - Limits the ability to explore even more powerful targets or IO combinations that could have broad curative potential Patient Portrayal |
5 Xilio ( ex - il - ee - oh) believes the next revolution in IO cancer therapies will trick tumors into activating their own treatments , while simultaneously sparing healthy tissues and cells We are here to pursue that promise for patients 2016 XLO ~100 3 Founded NASDAQ Employees Clinical Stage Programs |
6 Pioneering Tumor - Activated Immuno - Oncology Therapies to Pursue Positive Outcomes for More Patients Mission Design and deliver tumor - activated immuno - oncology therapies that provide effective, tolerable and durable therapeutic options for patients with solid tumors Vision We envision a future where cancer is no longer a grim diagnosis because treatments exist that eliminate it at the source, and cures come without the severe systemic side effects of current - day IO therapies |

8 Xilio’s Tumor - Activated Precision Immuno - Oncology • We are passionate about harnessing and focusing the power of the immune system to treat cancer • We have developed a novel approach designed to outsmart tumors by using the tumor’s growth activities against itself - Tumor proteases activate a switch in our molecules, which unleashes the active agent once it is inside the tumor microenvironment • Each of our molecules has a custom masking domain designed to prevent it from interacting with healthy tissues and cells - The mask is released by the tumor’s dysregulated matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are present but inhibited outside of the tumor microenvironment Cleavage Site Half - Life Extension Domain Effector Domain Masking Domain |
9 Building a Transformative Immuno - Oncology Pipeline 1. Plan to initially evaluate XTX202 as a monotherapy and as a combination therapy for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RC C) and melanoma prior to potential expansion into additional cancer indications. 2. Plan to initially evaluate XTX301 as a monotherapy for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. 3. Plan to explore opportunities for strategic collaborations to advance XTX101 and do not plan to initiate an anti - PD - 1 combination cohort in the Phase 1 trial or initiate a Phase 2 trial without a pa rtner.

19 Enhancement of In Vivo Activity and Evidence of Memory Response for XTX202 (IL - 2) in Combination with Anti - PD1 Anti - tumor activity of XTX202 as a single agent and in combination with anti - mPD - 1 was evaluated in hFcRn Tg32 transgenic mice b earing the murine MB49 bladder carcinoma model. The combination of XTX202 with anti - mPD - 1 further improved anti - tumor activity with TGI 92% on Day 13 (Data presented as mean ± SEM, two - way ANOVA followed by post hoc Dunnett’s test, *P < 0.05; **P < 0.005). The treatment with XTX202 alone or in combination with anti - mPD - 1 improved animal survival from 19 days to 27.5 and 38 days, respectively (Geham - Breslow - Wilcoxon test, **P < 0.01). A mouse with complete regression of MB49 tumor after combination therapy with XTX202 and anti - mPD - 1 was resistant to tumor rechallenge with autologous MB49 tumor implanted on the opposite flank.

21 XTX202 (IL - 2) Key Takeaways • IL - 2 has significant therapeutic potential both as monotherapy and in combination - Monotherapy tumor types include: RCC, melanoma, lung cancer - Attractive combination partners include: mAbs (e.g., anti - PD - 1), cytokines (e.g., IL - 12), cell therapies, cancer vaccines • Achieving therapeutic benefit from IL - 2 requires high dose delivery in the tumor microenvironment • XTX202 has achieved dose ranges in line with traditional high dose treatment with aldesleukin - XTX202 currently being dosed at 1 mg/kg, the target dose range for XTX202 - Preliminary analyses demonstrated evidence of IL - 2 specific biology, including CD8+ effector T cells and NK cells increasing in peripheral circulation over time for patients consistent with data observed in preclinical studies* - No signs of VLS or decreases in albumin (an early sign of VLS) have been observed - Intra - tumoral PD data for two patients provide preliminary evidence that the patients’ tumors featured increased stromal TIL and robust increases in CD8+ T cells compared to pre - treatment** • Adaptive Phase 1/2 trial design with multiple clinical milestones anticipated in 2023 - Initiated patient enrollment in a monotherapy expansion cohort of Phase 1 clinical trial in Q4 2022 - Anticipate initiating patient enrollment in Phase 2 monotherapy trial in 1H 2023 - Anticipate reporting preliminary anti - tumor activity and safety data from Phase 1/2 trial in Q3 2023 TREG: regulatory T cells. * Data reported as of November 7, 2022. ** Patients had an optional on - treatment tumor biopsy and were the only two patients treated with XTX202 for whom a tumor biopsy analysis was available as of January 9, 2023. |
22 XTX301 Tumor - Activated IL - 12 |
23 The Potential of IL - 12 as a Therapeutic Agent • IL - 12 has ground - breaking potential as a potent IO therapeutic agent • Poor tolerability has limited its clinical progress for decades • No currently approved IL - 12 agents INF γ : interferon gamma; MTD: maximum tolerated dose; NK: natural killer; TME: tumor microenvironment. INF γ is a pleiotropic molecule with associated antiproliferative, pro - apoptotic and antitumor mechanisms. Th1 - type cytokines tend to produce the proinflammatory responses responsible for killing intracellular parasites and for perpetuating autoimmune responses. IL - 12 Has Highly Compelling Biology for IO Applications Exquisitely potent stimulator of NK and T cell cytotoxicity and INFγ production Demonstrated single agent objective responses in patients, but poorly tolerated (MTD <500 nanograms/kg on repeat dosing) Capable of polarizing CD4 T - cells towards Th1 phenotype, thus driving cellular immunity against infection and cancer Robust INFγ induction results in broad remodeling of the TME towards a more immune - permissive environment |
24 IL - 12 Can Remodel Cold Tumor Microenvironment Towards a Pro - Inflammatory (Hot) State that Favors Anti - Tumor Immunity • CD8 T and NK cells are abundant in tumor • Pro - inflammatory microenvironment • Improved prognosis and effective killing of tumor cells with immunotherapy treatment • Lack of CD8 T and NK cells within tumor • Presence of immune suppressive cells (TREGs, MDSCs) • Poor response to checkpoint inhibitors Cold Tumor Hot Tumor IL - 12 Adapted from “Cold vs Hot Tumors”, by BioRender.com, 2022.
