Corvus Pharmaceuticals Raises $175M with 7.9M-Share Offering to Fund Trials
Corvus Pharmaceuticals priced an upsized offering of 7.9 million common shares at $22.15, generating about $175M in gross proceeds. Net proceeds will fund working capital, capital expenditures, and R&D for its Phase 3 T‐cell lymphoma and Phase 2 atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa and asthma trials.
