About Corvus Pharmaceuticals
Corvus Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of small
molecule and antibody agents that target the immune system to treat patients with cancer. These agents block or modify crucial
immune checkpoints and reprogram immune T-cells. Corvus lead product, CPI-444 is a checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to disable
a tumor’s ability to subvert attack by the immune system by inhibiting adenosine in the tumor microenvironment. CPI-444 is a small
molecule that is taken orally. CPI-444 is being evaluated in a multicenter Phase 1/1b clinical trial in patients with various solid
tumors. This successive expansion cohort trial is examining the activity of CPI-444 both as a single agent and in combination with
TECENTRIQ™ (atezolizumab), Genentech's investigational cancer immunotherapy. TECENTRIQ™ is a fully humanized monoclonal antibody
targeting protein programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Corvus is conducting the trial with Genentech, a member of the Roche
Group, under a clinical trial collaboration the two companies entered into in October 2015. For more information, visit www.corvuspharma.com.
