We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating innovative cancer immunotherapies by leveraging underexploited biological opportunities. Specifically, we target well-characterized biological pathways with significant scientific data supporting their importance in regulating the immune response against cancer and for which either there are no molecules in development or those that exist have suboptimal profiles. To exploit these pathways, we have built a robust and highly efficient discovery capability to create and optimize highly differentiated small-molecule immuno-oncology product candidates. Since our inception in 2015, we have built a broad portfolio of small-molecule and antibody product candidates that we plan to develop together as intra-portfolio combinations. We have initiated clinical trials for our two most advanced product candidates, both of which are expected to generate data in 2018, and we expect clinical data from our first intra-portfolio combinations in the first half of 2019. We plan to advance two additional product candidates into clinical trials by the end of 2018. Members of the Arcus team have worked together for more than 10 years discovering innovative small-molecule product candidates while at companies such as Tularik Inc., Amgen, Inc. and Flexus Biosciences, Inc.
