iTeos Therapeutics, Inc. (ITOS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that has focused on immuno-oncology, developing therapies designed to counteract immunosuppressive pathways in the tumor microenvironment. Company communications describe programs targeting the TIGIT/CD226 axis, the adenosine pathway, ENT1, TREM2, and PTPN1/2, with candidates such as belrestotug, EOS-984, EOS-215, and inupadenant.
The news flow around iTeos has included clinical trial updates, collaboration decisions, strategic reviews, and corporate transactions.
