Description: RCUS Arcus Biosciences November 17, 2025
Arcus Biosciences (NYSE:RCUS) is a clinical-stage biopharma focused on oncology immunotherapies in the United States. Its lead assets include Casdatifan (a HIF-2α inhibitor for renal cell carcinoma) and Domvanalimab (an anti-TIGIT antibody currently in Phase 2/3 trials for lung and gastrointestinal cancers). The pipeline also contains Quemliclustat (CD73 inhibitor in Phase 3 for lung cancer and Phase 1/1b for pancreatic cancer), Etrumadenant (dual A2a/A2b adenosine-receptor antagonist in Phase 2 for colorectal cancer), Zimberelimab (anti-PD-1), AB598 (CD39 antibody in Phase 1/1b for GI cancers) and AB801 (AXL inhibitor in Phase 1b for lung cancer). Arcus collaborates with AstraZeneca on the Phase 3 PACIFIC-8 trial (Domvanalimab + Durvalumab in Stage 3 NSCLC) and on a Phase 1/1b study of Casdatifan + Volrustomig in treatment-naïve clear-cell RCC, and partners with BVF Partners for inflammatory-disease programs.
As of the latest 10-Q (Q3 2024), Arcus reported cash and cash equivalents of roughly $210 million, giving it an estimated 18-month runway at current burn rates. The company’s market capitalization sits near $1.2 billion, reflecting a modest premium to peers despite the early-stage nature of its assets. Industry-wide, immuno-oncology R&D spend grew ~9 % YoY in 2023, and the global HIF-2α inhibitor market is projected to exceed $1 billion by 2028, providing a favorable macro backdrop for Casdatifan’s target indication.
If you want a deeper, data-driven look at Arcus’s valuation dynamics and how its pipeline risk-adjusted returns compare to sector averages, the ValueRay platform offers a transparent, model-backed analysis worth exploring.
