Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today the presentation of final data from its randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial evaluating soquelitinib in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in two oral sessions at the Society for Investigative Dermatology (SID) Annual Meeting, which is taking place May 13-16, 2026 in Chicago.
AI Summary
Corvus Pharmaceuticals said final results from its randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial suggest that soquelitinib may help people with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis by calming inflammation and restoring immune balance. The company presented new data at the Society for Investigative Dermatology Annual Meeting in Chicago, including a late-breaking oral session.
In the study, patients taking 200 mg twice daily showed strong improvements in eczema severity, with no disease rebound and no need for rescue medicine during follow-up. The benefits also appeared to last after treatment stopped, pointing to possible drug-free remissions. Corvus said the data showed fewer inflammatory Th2 cells and cytokines, while persistent regulatory T cells, or Tregs, increased. These changes fit soquelitinib’s action as an ITK inhibitor and may help explain the durable responses seen in patients. The company said the findings support further study of soquelitinib as a potential new treatment for atopic dermatitis.

AI Summary
Corvus Pharmaceuticals reported positive results from cohort 4 of a randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 1 trial of soquelitinib in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. In the extended 8-week treatment, soquelitinib patients (n=12) had a mean 72% reduction in EASI at Day 56 versus 40% for placebo (n=10). Clinical responses deepened from Week 4 to Week 8: 75% of soquelitinib patients achieved EASI‑75, 25% achieved EASI‑90, and 33% reached IGA 0/1, compared with 20%, 0%, and 0% respectively in placebo. Separation from placebo began by Day 15 and widened through Day 56.
Safety was favorable: adverse events occurred in 41.7% of soquelitinib patients and 50% of placebo patients, all Grade 1–2, with no serious events or lab abnormalities. Activity was seen in patients previously treated with systemic therapies, including dupilumab and JAK inhibitors. Biomarkers showed reductions in IL‑4, IL‑5 and IL‑17 and increases in Treg cells, supporting an ITK‑based immune rebalancing mechanism. Corvus plans a Phase 2 trial in Q1 2026.Read Announcement

Announcement
Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the presentation of final data from its Phase 1/1b trial of soquelitinib in patients with T cell lymphoma today in an oral session at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition, which is taking place December 6-9, 2025 in Orlando, FL.
AI Summary
Corvus Pharmaceuticals presented final Phase 1/1b data for soquelitinib in an oral session at the 67th ASH Annual Meeting in Orlando. The trial enrolled 75 patients with various T cell lymphomas and tested twice-daily doses from 100 mg to 600 mg. The 200 mg twice-daily dose was chosen for expansion based on biomarker target coverage. No dose-limiting toxicities or major safety signals were seen across doses up to 600 mg.
In the 200 mg twice-daily cohort (N=36), median progression-free survival was 6.2 months and median overall survival was 28.1 months, results the company says compare favorably with existing therapies. Six patients in that cohort achieved complete responses. In a subgroup with 1–3 prior therapies and adequate lymphocyte counts (N=24), 9 patients responded (6 complete, 3 partial). These findings support an ongoing registration Phase 3 trial in relapsed/refractory PTCL and continued development in atopic dermatitis and other immune diseases.
Data also showed soquelitinib’s ITK inhibition shifts T cell differentiation toward Th1, reduces Th2/Th17 signals, and produced related biomarker changes in blood and tumor biopsies, supporting broader immune and inflammatory indications.
