Date:12/12/2012

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- XBiotech Inc., a privately held biotechnology company, today announced positive Phase II clinical trial results in the treatment of acne vulgaris.  The trial was conducted as an open label study using XBiotech's lead candidate, True Human™ monoclonal antibody MABp1, in patients with moderate to severe disease.  Patients enrolled in the study demonstrated continual improvement in lesions over the course of therapy, with up to 42 percent reduction in eight weeks. The excellent safety profile of MABp1 demonstrated across multiple therapeutic indications to date, and strong initial results in this trial, provide the basis for further development of the first biologic therapy targeting the inflammatory cytokine IL-1α for acne treatment.
