Welcome to our dedicated page for Corvus Pharmaceuticals news (Ticker: CRVS), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Corvus Pharmaceuticals stock.
Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVS) is a pioneering clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel immunotherapies to treat a broad spectrum of cancers and immune diseases. The company's core innovation is the selective inhibition of interleukin-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK), which plays a crucial role in T cell and natural killer (NK) cell immune functions. Corvus' lead investigational product, soquelitinib (formerly CPI-818), has shown promise in optimizing T cell differentiation and enhancing immune responses against tumors, as well as in the management of autoimmune diseases.
Corvus is advancing soquelitinib through a Phase 3 registrational trial for relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), an aggressive and typically treatment-resistant form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The company’s focus on ITK inhibition offers a new therapeutic approach, given the lack of FDA-approved treatments for relapsed PTCL. Soquelitinib has demonstrated the ability to prevent T cell exhaustion and promote the generation of cytotoxic killer T cells, critical in cancer therapy.
In addition, Corvus is investigating soquelitinib for other immune-mediated conditions, including atopic dermatitis. The company recently initiated a randomized, double-blind Phase 1 clinical trial to evaluate soquelitinib in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, aiming to provide an oral treatment alternative to current injectable biologics.
Other promising candidates in Corvus' pipeline include ciforadenant, an adenosine A2A receptor inhibitor that disables tumors' immune evasion mechanisms, and mupadolimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD73. These candidates are being studied for their efficacy in combination therapies for various cancers, including head and neck cancers and non-small cell lung cancer.
Financially, Corvus maintains a strong position, having raised significant capital through direct offerings to support its clinical trials and operational needs. With cash reserves projected to fund operations into late 2025, Corvus is well-positioned to achieve substantial milestones in its clinical programs. The company continues to foster critical partnerships, including collaborations with Angel Pharmaceuticals for the Chinese market.
Latest news highlights Corvus' progress in clinical trials and strategic financing moves, underscoring its commitment to bringing innovative immunotherapies to patients in need. For more information, visit the Corvus Pharmaceuticals website.
Corvus Pharmaceuticals announced new preclinical data showing that soquelitinib, their lead ITK inhibitor, could potentially prevent lung damage, inflammation, and pulmonary hypertension caused by systemic sclerosis. The study used Fra-2 transgenic mice, which mirror human systemic sclerosis features. After seven weeks of oral soquelitinib treatment, mice showed significant reduction in lung infiltration and fibrosis, improved clinical scores, reduced vascular smooth muscle hypertrophy, and lower right ventricular systolic blood pressure. These results were validated in a second bleomycin lung injury model.
Corvus Pharmaceuticals provided Q3 2024 updates on its clinical programs. The company is advancing two clinical trials for soquelitinib: a Phase 3 trial in Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) and a Phase 1 trial in atopic dermatitis, with interim data expected in December 2024. Financial highlights include cash position of $41.7M as of September 30, 2024, with an additional $5.9M from warrant exercises in October. Q3 net loss was $40.2M, including a $32.8M non-cash warrant liability loss. R&D expenses increased to $5.2M from $4.0M year-over-year. The company expects current cash to fund operations into 2026.
Corvus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRVS) presented new data at SITC's 39th Annual Meeting showing ciforadenant's potential to overcome resistance to anti-PD1 immunotherapy in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The research, selected as a Top 100 abstract, identified SPP1+ myeloid cells as critical mediators of immunotherapy resistance. Clinical trial results showed that when ciforadenant was combined with atezolizumab, 5 of 24 patients (21%) achieved PSA partial responses, compared to 1 of 11 (9%) with ciforadenant monotherapy. The study demonstrated that ciforadenant treatment reduced immunosuppression and enhanced sensitivity to anti-PD1 therapy.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRVS) has initiated a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial of soquelitinib for patients with relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Soquelitinib, a potential first-in-class ITK inhibitor, has been granted Orphan Drug Designation and Fast Track Designation by the FDA. The trial will enroll approximately 150 patients across 40 sites in the US, Canada, Australia, and South Korea.
The randomized, controlled study will compare soquelitinib to standard chemotherapy, with a primary endpoint of progression-free survival. Soquelitinib's unique mechanism of action, based on selective ITK inhibition, shows potential for treating T cell lymphomas, solid tumors, and immune diseases. This trial marks a significant milestone for Corvus and PTCL patients, as there are currently no fully approved agents for relapsed PTCL treatment.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS) provided a Q2 2024 business update, highlighting progress in its soquelitinib (ITK inhibitor) program. Early results from the Phase 1 trial in atopic dermatitis showed clinical activity and cytokine changes consistent with ITK inhibition. The company is advancing toward initial enrollment in a Phase 3 trial for peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) in Q3 2024. In the ongoing Phase 1/1b PTCL trial, soquelitinib demonstrated a 39% objective response rate, including 26% complete responses. Corvus reported $47.2 million in cash as of June 30, 2024, expecting to fund operations into Q4 2025. The company anticipates 2024 net cash used in operating activities between $24-$27 million.
Corvus Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CRVS) has received FDA Fast Track Designation for soquelitinib, targeting adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) after at least two lines of systemic therapy.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: CRVS) announced the publication of preclinical data in Science Signaling, demonstrating the potential of ITK inhibition with soquelitinib for treating inflammatory diseases. The study, conducted by Cornell University researchers, showed that ITK inhibition induces switching of proinflammatory Th17 cells into anti-inflammatory Treg cells, both in vitro and in vivo.
Key findings include:
- Dose-dependent inhibition of Th17 cell differentiation and increase in Foxp3+ Treg cells
- Switched Foxp3+ Treg cells suppress naïve T cell proliferation
- Significant reduction of Th17 cells in the lung in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation
This research supports Corvus' view on the broad potential of ITK inhibition for treating autoimmune, allergic, and inflammatory diseases.
