Overview
Company Summary
Arcus Biosciences, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company primarily focused on developing innovative cancer therapies. The company utilizes a combination of technology platforms and expertise to discover, develop, and commercialize novel immunotherapies for the treatment of various forms of cancer.
Arcus Biosciences specializes in the field of immuno-oncology, which involves leveraging the body's own immune system to fight cancer. The company's research and development efforts are focused on two key platforms: the Arcus proprietary Pipeline Accelerator (APA) and the Arcus PD1-programmed antibody.
The Pipeline Accelerator platform is centered around identifying and developing small molecule drug candidates that target specific biological pathways involved in immune cell regulation and cancer progression. By modulating these pathways, Arcus aims to enhance the body's immune response against tumors and halt disease progression.
The Arcus PD1-programmed antibody platform centers on discovering and developing high-affinity antibodies that can specifically target and inhibit the PD1 protein, a checkpoint receptor responsible for dampening the immune response to cancer cells. Blocking PD1 allows the immune system to more effectively recognize and eliminate cancer cells.
Arcus Biosciences advances its drug candidates through preclinical and clinical development stages to evaluate their safety, tolerability, and efficacy. The company collaborates with research institutions, academic partners, and pharmaceutical companies to enhance its drug discovery and development efforts.
Overall, Arcus Biosciences is dedicated to bringing novel immunotherapies to patients with a wide range of cancer types, aiming to improve treatment outcomes and ultimately contribute to the advancement of cancer care.
