Arcus Biosciences reports Q4 EPS ($1.03), consensus ($1.20)

Reports Q4 revenue $36M, consensus $29.38M. “Last week, we presented data from nearly 90 ccRCC patients demonstrating casdatifan’s potential best-in-class profile,” said Terry Rosen, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Arcus. “Given the strong efficacy and preferable safety profile relative to standard-of-care VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, we believe casdatifan can play an important role in the treatment of every patient diagnosed with ccRCC. Arcus now has full developmental and commercial control of casdatifan, and we are pursuing a robust development plan in multiple ccRCC settings, which include our first Phase 3 trial, PEAK-1, expected to initiate next quarter, as well as our clinical collaboration with AstraZeneca. We are extremely well capitalized to execute on these plans, and we continue to evaluate and pursue opportunities to conserve capital and allocate greater resources to maximizing the potential of casdatifan.”
