Arcus Biosciences Inc. announced a strategic shift to concentrate its research and development investment on casdatifan, a HIF-2a inhibitor, and its emerging portfolio of small molecule programs targeting inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The company plans to expand the development program for casdatifan with studies in new early-line combinations for kidney cancer and additional tumor types, as well as to initiate a potential Phase 3 registrational study in first-line clear cell renal cell carcinoma by late 2026. Arcus also aims to advance two small molecule inhibitors-MRGPRX2, targeting atopic dermatitis and chronic spontaneous urticaria, and another yet-to-be-disclosed candidate-into clinical development in 2026. The company expects to fund its planned operations through at least the second half of 2028 with approximately $1 billion in cash and investments.
