Company Overview

XBiotech Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on developing therapies that target inflammation and other disease processes. The company’s technology platform is based on “True Human” monoclonal antibodies, which are derived from naturally occurring human antibodies rather than genetically engineered or animal-derived antibody sequences.

XBiotech’s research has included bermekimab, a fully human antibody designed to neutralize interleukin-1 alpha, an inflammatory protein associated with cancer, autoimmune conditions and other diseases. The company has evaluated bermekimab in clinical studies involving cancer and inflammatory disorders, while continuing to research additional antibody-based treatments and potential applications.

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, XBiotech has pursued the discovery, development and potential commercialization of biological therapies for patients in the United States and international markets. John Simard, the company’s founder, has served as its chairman and chief executive officer.
