A clinical-stage Genentech (before its acquisition by Roche), but solely focused on developing innovative cancer therapies.
An early-stage pharmaceutical company aiming to develop breakthrough cancer drugs, much like a specialized division of Bristol Myers Squibb's oncology pipeline.
A startup biotech like an early Gilead Sciences, but with its entire focus on discovering and advancing novel drugs specifically for oncology.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (symbol: CRVS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunotherapies for cancer. As a company primarily in the research and development phase, Corvus Pharmaceuticals does not currently have any FDA-approved commercial products on the market.
Therefore, Corvus Pharmaceuticals does not have "major customers" in the traditional sense, meaning they do not sell products to other companies (e.g., pharmacies, hospitals, distributors) or directly to individuals (patients). Their revenue, when generated, typically comes from:
- Collaboration and Licensing Agreements: In the past, and potentially in the future, Corvus has entered or may enter into agreements with larger pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies for the development, commercialization, or regional rights to their product candidates. In such scenarios, the partner company would be a "customer" providing upfront payments, milestone payments, or royalties. However, as of recent filings, Corvus does not have significant active collaboration revenue.
- Grants: From government agencies or non-profit organizations for research and development activities.
Currently, Corvus Pharmaceuticals primarily funds its operations through equity financing (issuing shares) and other financial activities to advance its drug pipeline. They do not report product sales revenue.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals' main product candidate, soquelitinib (CPI-818), targets peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) and atopic dermatitis. The addressable market for PTCL is estimated as follows:
- The global T-cell lymphoma market was valued at approximately USD 2.12 billion in 2023.
- Another estimate for the PTCL market is around half a billion dollars (2021 figures).
- In the United States, there are an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 cases of T-cell lymphoma per year, with Peripheral T-cell lymphoma – not otherwise specified (PTCL–NOS) having an incidence of about 2,500 cases per year.
For Corvus Pharmaceuticals' other product candidates, ciforadenant (CPI-444) and mupadolimab (CPI-006), specific addressable market sizes for their targeted indications (renal cell cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and COVID-19) are null.

Corvus Pharmaceuticals (CRVS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is poised for potential future revenue growth primarily through the advancement and commercialization of its pipeline assets, particularly soquelitinib, and through strategic partnerships. As a company in the clinical stage, its revenue generation will largely depend on regulatory approvals and subsequent market penetration of its drug candidates.
Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth for Corvus Pharmaceuticals over the next 2-3 years:
-
Commercialization of Soquelitinib in Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL): Corvus is actively enrolling patients in a registrational Phase 3 clinical trial for soquelitinib in patients with relapsed/refractory PTCL. Positive results from this trial and subsequent regulatory approval would enable the company to bring its lead candidate to market, establishing a significant new revenue stream.
-
Market Entry of Soquelitinib for Atopic Dermatitis: The company is making significant progress with soquelitinib for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, with a Phase 2 clinical trial anticipated to commence in early Q1 2026. The atopic dermatitis market is substantial, projected to reach $29.88 billion by 2030, representing a considerable potential revenue opportunity upon successful development and commercialization.
-
Expansion of Soquelitinib into Additional Indications: Beyond PTCL and atopic dermatitis, Corvus is exploring the broader applicability of soquelitinib. The drug is currently in a Phase 2 clinical trial for Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS), a rare genetic disease, and the company plans to initiate a solid tumor clinical trial later in 2025. Successful development in these additional areas would diversify its product portfolio and expand its total addressable market, driving further revenue growth.
-
Revenue from Strategic Partnerships and Licensing Agreements: Corvus currently generates revenue primarily through collaborations, licensing agreements, and milestone payments. Its partnership with Angel Pharmaceuticals, which licensed rights to Corvus's clinical-stage candidates in greater China and global rights to preclinical BTK inhibitor programs, is an existing source. Future milestone achievements from this and potentially new collaborations or licensing deals would contribute to the company's revenue.
