About Merus N.V.
Merus is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company developing innovative full-length human bispecific antibody therapeutics,
referred to as Biclonics®. Biclonics®, which are based on the full-length IgG format, are manufactured using industry standard
processes and have been observed in preclinical and clinical studies to have several of the same features of conventional human
monoclonal antibodies, such as long half-life and low immunogenicity. Merus’ most advanced bispecific antibody candidate, MCLA-128,
is being evaluated in a Phase 2 combination trial in two metastatic breast cancer populations. MCLA-128 is also being evaluated in
a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in gastric, ovarian, endometrial and non-small cell lung cancers. Additional pipeline programs include
MCLA-117, which is currently being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, and MCLA-158, a
Biclonics® being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with solid tumors with an initial focus on metastatic colorectal
cancer. Through its collaboration with Incyte Corporation, Merus is also developing a preclinical bispecific antibody designed to
bind to PD-L1 and a non-disclosed second immunomodulatory target. For additional information, please visit Merus’ website,
