SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CytomX Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTMX), a leader in the field of masked, conditionally activated biologics, today announced second quarter 2025 financial results and provided a business update.
“Q2 2025 was an exciting quarter for CytomX as we announced positive initial clinical results for CX-2051 in advanced colorectal cancer, a very challenging disease to treat. Our data highlight CX-2051’s intentional design as a first-in-class, masked EpCAM-directed ADC with potential to improve upon the standard of care in late-line CRC. We are also delighted to have completed a financing with top-tier investors that enables CytomX to rapidly advance the CX-2051 development program. Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on our next anticipated CX-2051 clinical data update in Q1 2026 and to potentially launching a Phase 2 study in the first half of 2026,” said Sean McCarthy, D.Phil., chief executive officer and chairman of CytomX.
Q2 2025 Pipeline Program Updates:
CX-2051 (EpCAM PROBODY Topo-1 ADC)
CX-801 (PROBODY Interferon alpha-2b)

Corporate and Financial:
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results:
Cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $158.1 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $79.9 million as of March 31, 2025.
Total revenue was $18.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in revenue was driven primarily by the completion of our performance obligations in the Bristol Myers Squibb collaboration, the decision not to further develop the CX-904 program in the Amgen agreement, and a decrease in Moderna activities due to Moderna budget considerations.
Total operating expense in the second quarter of 2025 was $19.9 million compared to $33.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $13.7 million.
Research and development expenses were $13.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $11.9 million compared to the corresponding period of 2024. Reduced research and development expenses were primarily due to a one-time milestone payment of $5M to Immunogen for the first patient dosed in Phase 1 with CX-2051 in Q2 2024, a reduction in CX-904 spend due to program de-prioritization in 2025, and reduced research expenses following the Q1 2025 restructuring.
General and administrative expenses were $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by personnel costs as well as patent and legal expenses.
About CytomX Therapeutics
CytomX is a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel conditionally activated, masked biologics designed to be localized to the tumor microenvironment. By pioneering a novel pipeline of localized biologics, powered by its PROBODY® therapeutic platform, CytomX’s vision is to create safer, more effective therapies for the treatment of cancer. CytomX’s multi-modality technology platform has produced therapeutic candidates across multiple treatment modalities including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), T-cell engagers, and immune modulators such as cytokines. CytomX’s current clinical-stage pipeline includes CX-2051 and CX-801. CX-2051 is a masked, conditionally activated ADC directed toward epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), armed with a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload. CX-2051 has potential applicability across multiple EpCAM-expressing epithelial cancers, including CRC, and was discovered in collaboration with ImmunoGen. CX-801 is a masked interferon alpha-2b PROBODY® cytokine with broad potential applicability in traditionally immuno-oncology sensitive as well as insensitive (cold) tumors. CytomX has established strategic collaborations with multiple leaders in oncology, including Amgen, Astellas, Bristol Myers Squibb, Regeneron and Moderna.
