Also known as: Arvinas
Arvinas is a biotechnology company developing therapies based on targeted protein degradation. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut, it is listed on Nasdaq under ARVN.
FDA has accepted the NDA for vepdegestrant (ARV-471), an oral PROTAC ER degrader from Arvinas and Pfizer, for ESR1-mutated ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer. A PDUFA date of June 5, 2026 has been set. The submission is based on positive Phase 3 VERITAC-2 data.
Recent developments in breast cancer treatment include new clinical trials for advanced disease, findings on CDK4/6 inhibitor sequencing, and discovery of genetic markers explaining drug resistance in HER2-positive breast cancer.
Arvinas announced phase 1 results for ARV-102, a PROTAC degrader that achieved more than 50% LRRK2 degradation in cerebrospinal fluid of Parkinson's patients after 28 days, with no serious adverse events reported.
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are advancing from experimental to clinical-stage cancer therapies, with first candidates entering Phase III trials. The technology degrades target proteins rather than blocking them, offering new options for previously undruggable targets.
The FDA has accepted Roche's new drug application for oral SERD giredestrant in ESR1-mutated, ER-positive advanced breast cancer, with a decision expected by December 18, 2026. The filing is restricted to the ESR1-mutant population despite phase 3 trial benefits in broader patients.
DelveInsight releases three separate pipeline reports covering metastatic prostate cancer (80+ companies, 85+ drugs), iPSC-derived NK cells (12+ companies, 15+ drugs), and interstitial lung diseases (120+ companies, 120+ drugs), highlighting recent regulatory approvals, trial launches, and emerging therapies.
Drug Hunter's most-accessed resources, reviews, and case studies in 2025 reflected key trends in drug discovery, including the rise of oral macrocycles, advances in new modalities, and the shift from biologics to small molecules in immunology.
