Arcus Biosciences Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Provides a Pipeline Update
Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (NYSE:RCUS), a clinical-stage, global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated molecules and combination therapies for people with cancer, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a pipeline update on its six clinical-stage molecules – targeting TIGIT, the adenosine axis (CD73 and A2a/A2b), HIF-2a and PD-1 – across multiple common cancers. As part of its pipeline update, the company is announcing a strategic protocol amendment to the ARC-10 registrational Phase 3 study following proactive discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The new, amended ARC-10 study design will compare domvanalimab and zimberelimab to pembrolizumab, a global standard-of-care (SOC) in PD-L1-high NSCLC, the target indication for ARC-10; the study will no longer include a chemotherapy arm

“Arcus continues to execute on its strategy to be a leader in the TIGIT field and to advance our clinical pipeline, including our adenosine pathway modulators etrumadenant and quemliclustat,” said Terry Rosen, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Arcus. “The optimization of our Phase 3 ARC-10 study design and the initiation of the fourth Phase 3 registrational study for domvanalimab position Arcus to leverage the full potential of domvanalimab. We continue to have strong conviction that domvanalimab plus zimberelimab has the potential to be a best-in-class anti-TIGIT / anti-PD-(L)1 regimen and to create a new standard-of-care in multiple settings. With $1.2 billion and a deep pipeline of six, soon to be eight, clinical-stage molecules, we are poised to be a leader in the development of innovative therapies for cancer patients in need.”
