Business<\/strong>: Since their\u00a0inception in 2015, they have built a broad portfolio of small-molecule and antibody product candidates that they\u00a0plan to develop together as intra-portfolio combinations. They\u00a0have initiated clinical trials for their\u00a0two most advanced product candidates, both of which are expected to generate data in 2018, and they expect clinical data from their first intra-portfolio combinations in the first half of 2019. They plan to advance two additional product candidates into clinical trials by the end of 2018. Members of the Arcus team have worked together for more than 10\u00a0years discovering innovative small-molecule product candidates while at companies such as Tularik Inc., Amgen, Inc. and Flexus Biosciences, Inc.<\/p>\n
