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 currently 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 Genentech’s Tecentriq® (atezolizumab), an anti-PD-L1 antibody. 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
