Current report

In the first quarter of 2025, we, along with Pfizer, announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 VERITAC-2 clinical trial in the estrogen receptor 1-mutant, or ESR1m, population. We and Pfizer plan to present detailed results from the VERITAC-2 Phase 3 clinical trial in a late-breaker oral presentation at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in the second quarter of 2025, share these data with global regulatory authorities to potentially support regulatory filings also in the second quarter of 2025, and submit a new drug application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for potential approval in the second half of 2025.

Current report

The Phase 3 VERITAC-2 clinical trial is a global randomized study evaluating the efficacy and safety of vepdegestrant as a monotherapy compared to fulvestrant in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The trial enrolled 624 patients at sites in 26 countries who had previously received treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor plus endocrine therapy. Patients were randomized to receive either vepdegestrant once daily, orally on a 28-day continuous dosing schedule, or fulvestrant, administered intramuscularly on Days 1 and 15 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle starting from Day 1 of Cycle 2. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival, or PFS, by blinded independent central review among patients with ESR1m and among all patients, also known as the intent to treat, or ITT, population.

Current report

The Phase 3 VERITAC-2 trial met its primary endpoint in the ESR1m population, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS compared to fulvestrant. The results exceeded the pre-specified target hazard ratio of 0.60 in the ESR1m population. The trial did not reach statistical significance in improvement in PFS in the ITT population.

Current report

Overall survival was not mature at the time of the analysis of data, with less than a quarter of the required number of events having occurred. The trial will continue to assess overall survival as a key secondary endpoint. In the trial, vepdegestrant was generally well tolerated and its safety profile was consistent with what has been observed in previous studies.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2025, we announced that we and Pfizer removed two planned Phase 3 combination trials of vepdegestrant from the agreed-upon joint development plan: a first-line Phase 3 combination trial with Pfizer’s novel investigational CDK4 inhibitor, atirmociclib, and a second-line Phase 3 combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Current report

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2025, we announced that Pfizer plans to add a vepdegestrant combination cohort to its ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Pfizer’s investigational KAT6 inhibitor in combination with endocrine therapies following CDK4/6 inhibitor treatment. This clinical trial is being operationalized and funded solely by Pfizer.

Current report

ARV-393 is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROTAC designed to degrade BCL6, a transcriptional repressor and a key regulator of normal B-cell maturation and differentiation processes. Deregulation of BCL6 function (e.g., via chromosomal translocation, mutations) may lead to malignant transformation and development of NHL. During B-cell development, tightly controlled BCL6 protein expression regulates more than 600 genes to facilitate rapid B-cell proliferation and tolerance of somatic hypermutation and gene recombination for antibody generation. Deregulated BCL6 expression is common in B-cell lymphoma and promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, and genomic instability. Prior to the advent of PROTAC technology, the BCL6 protein was considered "undruggable." We believe that ARV-393 PROTAC-mediated degradation of BCL6 may provide an important novel therapeutic option for patients with NHL, and that current preclinical data suggest that ARV-393 has the potential to be an attractive combination partner for development of novel therapies for lymphoma, including chemo-free combination regimens and/or “all oral” treatment options.

Current report

We are currently enrolling a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial of ARV-393 in patients with relapsed/refractory NHL. This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of ARV-393 as a single agent in adult patients with relapsed/refractory NHL. We plan to share preliminary clinical data from this ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with NHL in the second half of 2025.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2025, we presented preclinical data of ARV-393 in combination with standard of care, or SOC, chemotherapy and biologic agents, as well as oral, investigational small molecule inhibitors in high grade and aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL, in vivo models at the American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR, Annual Meeting. Based on these preclinical data, in aggressive DLBCL models, ARV-393 showed strong synergistic antitumor activity, including complete regressions, in combination with SOC chemotherapy and biologics, as well as investigational oral small molecule inhibitors. In particular:

Current report

•ARV-393 in combination with SOC chemotherapy (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone, or R-CHOP), induced significantly greater tumor growth inhibition, or TGI, compared with rituximab, CHOP, R-CHOP, or ARV-393 alone, with complete tumor regressions in all mice treated with the ARV-393 and R-CHOP combination;

Current report

•ARV-393 in combination with SOC biologics targeting CD20 (rituximab), CD19 (tafasitamab), or CD79b (polatuzumab vedotin), resulted in tumor regressions and demonstrated significantly stronger TGI compared with either agent alone;

Current report

•in preclinical models, ARV-393 increased CD20 expression, providing additional support for the exploration of combinations with CD20-targeted agents and in the context of low or loss of CD20 expression; and

Current report

•ARV-393 in combination with investigational small molecule inhibitors targeting clinically validated oncogenic drivers of lymphoma, such as BTK (acalabrutinib), BCL2 (venetoclax), or EZH2 (tazemetostat), resulted in superior tumor growth inhibition compared with each agent alone, with tumor regressions in all mice treated with the combinations.

Current report

We plan to present new preclinical data demonstrating single agent activity of ARV-393 in patient derived xenograft models of transformed Follicular Lymphoma and a patient-derived xenograft model of nTFHL-AI (angioimmunoblastic type of nodal T-follicular helper cell lymphoma), a rare and aggressive NHL with high unmet need and limited treatment options, for a presentation at the European Hematology Association 2025 conference in Milan, Italy in the second quarter of 2025. In addition, we plan to share preclinical data for ARV-393 in combination with an emerging SOC option in second-line DLBC in the second half of 2025.

Current report

We are currently conducting two ongoing clinical trials with ARV-102, a Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers and a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with PD.

Current report

We completed enrollment for the single ascending dose, or SAD, and multiple ascending dose, or MAD cohorts of the ARV-102 Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers in the first quarter of 2025 and we expect to present final data from the SAD and MAD cohorts of this clinical trial in the second half of 2025.

Current report

Enrollment for the SAD cohort of the ARV-102 Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with PD is ongoing. We expect to present initial data from this clinical trial, as well as initiate the MAD cohort of this clinical trial, in the second half of 2025.

Current report

In the second quarter of 2025, we presented data from the first-in-human clinical trial of ARV-102 at the 2025 International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases, or AD/PD™ 2025, including results from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SAD cohort, and initial results from the MAD cohort, of the Phase 1 healthy volunteer clinical trial. The ARV-102 Phase 1 clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of orally administered ARV-102 in healthy male volunteers. This clinical trial is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating outcomes in both SAD and MAD cohorts. In the SAD cohort, volunteers were randomized three to one, to either placebo or a single dose of ARV-102 (10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, 90 mg, 150 mg, or 200 mg) on day 1 with follow-up until day 10. In the MAD cohort, volunteers were randomized to either placebo or a once daily dose of ARV-102 (10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, or 80 mg) for 14 days with follow-up until day 28.

Current report

In the clinical trial, ARV-102 demonstrated substantial reduction of LRRK2 in cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF, with a promising safety/tolerability profile and favorable pharmacodynamic outcomes. Key findings from the clinical trial indicated brain penetration, substantial central and peripheral LRRK2 protein degradation, and signified downstream LRRK2 pathway engagement. The specific data presented at AD/PD™ 2025 are outlined below.

Current report

•At the time of data cutoff (March 13, 2025), the SAD cohort of the Phase 1 clinical trial was completed and the MAD cohort was ongoing. Based on evaluation of the available data from single and multiple oral doses, ARV-102 was well tolerated in healthy volunteers.

Current report

•Of the 47 volunteers across all SAD dose levels, the primary treatment related adverse events were headache and fatigue. Headaches occurred in 17.1% (6/35) of treated individuals compared to 0% (0/12) in placebo controls. Fatigue occurred in 8.6% (3/35) of the treated individuals compared to 25% (3/12) in placebo controls.

Current report

•Procedural pain associated with the lumbar puncture occurred in 28.6% (10/35) of treated individuals compared to 41.7% (5/12) in placebo controls. Post lumbar puncture syndrome was only observed in the treated cohort, at a rate of 17.1% (6/35).

Current report

•No serious adverse events were reported in either the SAD or MAD cohorts.

Current report

•ARV-102 exhibited median maximum concentration six hours after oral administration.

Current report

•The area under the concentration-time curve in the first 24 hours post dosing and the maximum plasma concentration increased in a dose-dependent manner and the median terminal plasma half-life was 73 hours.

Current report

•ARV-102 levels in CSF increased in a dose dependent manner in both the SAD and MAD cohorts.

Current report

•At single doses of greater than or equal to 60 mg and repeated doses of greater than or equal to 20 mg, LRRK2 reduction of greater than 90% in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was observed.

Current report

•ARV-102 at single doses of greater than or equal to 30 mg induced greater than 50% decreases in peripheral phospho-Rab10T73, a LRRK2 substrate and biomarker for downstream LRRK2 activity; data for this endpoint in the MAD cohort is pending.

Previous report

In the first quarter of 2024, we initiated an additional arm of TACTIVE-U, the Phase 1b combination umbrella trial with Carrick's CDK7 inhib itor and initiated dosing for TACTIVE-K. In addition, in the first quarter of 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, granted Fast Track designation for the investigation of vepdegestrant as a monotherapy in the treatment of adults with ER+/HER- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with endocrine based therapy, and we announced the inclusion of an additional arm in the I-SPY-2 Endocrine Optimization Platform (EOP) study that will evaluate vepdegestrant in combination with abemaciclib. Vepdegestrant is also being evaluated in a monotherapy arm and in combination with letrozole arm in the ongoing I-SPY TRIAL endocrine optimization program sponsored by Quantum Leap.

Previous report

In the second quarter of 2024, we, along with Pfizer, evaluated enrollment and blinded event rates in the ongoing VERITAC-2 Phase 3 monotherapy clinical trial in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We expect to complete enrollment for this clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2024 and provide top-line data in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025.

Previous report

Additionally, in the second quarter of 2024, we, along with Pfizer, presented updated clinical data from a Phase 1b clinical trial combination cohort evaluating vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib (IBRANCE®) at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology, or ESMO, Breast Cancer Annual Congress. After six months of additional follow-up (data cutoff of December 18, 2023), these data were consistent with data presented at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, or SABCS, in the fourth quarter of 2023 (data cutoff of June 6, 2023), and show that vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib continued to demonstrate encouraging clinical activity in heavily pre-treated patients with a median of four lines of prior therapy with locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

Previous report

Specifically, after six months of additional follow-up, updated data from the trial continued to demonstrate an encouraging clinical benefit rate (63% across all dose levels (n=46)), objective response rate (42% in evaluable patients with measurable disease at baseline (n=31)) and median progression-free survival (11.2 months (95% CI; 8.2 - 16.5) based on 27 (59%) events across all dose levels), and consistent safety profile of vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib as previously reported at SABCS in December 2023. In addition, at the recommended Phase 3 dose, or RP3D, of 200 mg vepdegestrant in combination with 125 mg palbociclib, patients (n=21) achieved a median progression-free survival of 13.9 months (95% CI: 8.1-NR). Further, across all vepdegestrant dose groups, circulating tumor DNA analyses showed marked reduction in tumor fraction after one treatment cycle, regardless of ESR1 gene mutation status, and at the 200 mg vepdegestrant dose, robust on-treatment decreases in mutant ESR1 circulating tumor DNA were sustained through multiple treatment cycles.

Previous report

The Phase 1b cohort of the ARV-471-mBC-101 is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib among 46 patients with heavily pre-treated locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer. Patients in the study received a median of four prior therapies (median of three in the metastatic setting); 87% were previously treated with a cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor; 80% were previously treated with fulvestrant; and 78% were previously treated with chemotherapy, including 48% in the metastatic setting. Patients were treated once daily with oral doses of vepdegestrant at 180 mg (n=2), the RP3D of 200 mg (n=21), 400 mg (n=3) or 500 mg (n=20), plus 125 mg of palbociclib given orally once daily for 21 days, followed by seven days off treatment in 28-day cycles. Detailed data presented at the 2024 ESMO Breast Cancer Annual Congress included:

Previous report

•CBR, defined as the rate of confirmed complete response, partial response, or stable disease ≥24 weeks across all dose levels (n = 46) was 63% (95% CI: 47.5 - 76.8), with a CBR of 72% in patients with mutant ESR1 (n=29; 95% CI: 52.8 - 87.3) and a CBR of 53% in patients with wild-type ESR1 (n=15; 95% CI: 26.6 – 78.7).

Previous report

•CBR in patients dosed at the RP3D of 200 mg (n=21) was 67% (95% CI: 43.0 - 85.4) with a CBR of 79% in patients with mutant ESR1 (n=14; 95% CI: 49.2 - 95.3) and a CBR of 43% in patients with wild-type ESR1 (n=7; 95% CI: 9.9 - 81.6).

Previous report

•Exploratory ctDNA analyses found marked reduction (median change, −98.9%) in tumor fraction after one treatment cycle (all dose groups) regardless of ESR1 mutant status and robust on-treatment decreases in mutant ESR1 ctDNA levels sustained through cycle 7 (evaluated in patients in 200 mg dose cohort), as presented in the poster session.

Previous report

•The safety profile of vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib was consistent with what was previously reported with Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events, or TRAEs, ≥10% of neutropenia (91%) and decreased white blood cell count (15%); no grade 5 TRAEs or febrile neutropenia were reported.

Previous report

•The majority of Grade 4 neutropenia events occurred in the first cycle of treatment and occurrences of Grade 3/4 neutropenia decreased following palbociclib dose reductions as described in the prescribing label.

Previous report

•The safety profile of vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib was otherwise consistent with the profile of palbociclib and what has been observed in other clinical trials for vepdegestrant. Three of 46 patients discontinued palbociclib due to neutropenia including one out of 21 patients treated with the RP3D of vepdegestrant (200 mg) plus palbociclib 125 mg.

Previous report

As part of our global collaboration with Pfizer, in the second half of 2024, we and Pfizer plan to evaluate data from the study-lead in of the VERITAC-3 Phase 3 clinical trial of vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib. We also expect to continue enrollment and evaluate preliminary data from the ongoing TACTIVE-K clinical trial and, pending emerging data and regulatory feedback, in 2025, we plan to initiate, with Pfizer, Phase 3 combination trials in the first- and second-line settings: the first-line setting with vepdegestrant plus atirmociclib or palbociclib, and the second-line setting with vepdegestrant plus palbociclib and/or another CDK4/6 inhibitor.

Previous report

In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we and Pfizer expect to present initial safety and pharmacokinetic data from the TACTIVE-U sub-study of abemaciclib at the 2024 SABCS and we expect to otherwise continue enrollment in TACTIVE-U, the ongoing Phase 1b/2 combination umbrella trial evaluating combinations of vepdegestrant with abemaciclib, ribociclib, or samuraciclib. We also expect to present data from the Phase 1 pharmacokinetic trial of vepdegestrant in combination with midazolam to assess potential for drug-drug interaction at the 2024 SABCS in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Previous report

In the second quarter of 2024, we presented preclinical data at the Biennial International LRRK2 Meeting, which further supported the potential of PROTAC®-induced LRRK2 degradation as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. The preclinical data presented at the Biennial International LRRK2 Meeting highlighted, with our PROTAC LRRK2 degrader, near complete LRRK2 target engagement, as well as LRRK2 degradation, in mouse and non-human primate lung and brain. The preclinical data also showed differing effects of the LRRK2 PROTAC degraders in the lungs compared to kinase inhibitors, suggesting reduced pulmonary function risk, including:

Previous report

•substantially less Type II pneumocyte enlargement compared to MLi-2, an experimental LRRK2 kinase inhibitor;

Previous report

•surfactant protein accumulation in mouse lung was observed after treatment with the LRRK2 kinase inhibitor MLi-2, but not after treatment with the PROTAC LRRK2 degrader; and

Previous report

•no evidence of collagen deposition in lung to date with PROTAC LRRK2 degraders in non-human primates, or NHPs.

Previous report

In October 2024, we presented preclinical data at the 2024 Michael J. Fox Foundation Parkinson’s Disease Conference further supporting the potential of PROTAC-induced LRRK2 degradation as a potential treatment for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. New findings presented included data demonstrating:

Previous report

•orally delivered ARV-102 crosses the blood-brain barriers and degrades LRRK2 in the cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF, of NHPs;

Previous report

•degradation of LRRK2 by ARV-102 induces changes in pathway (lysosomal and inflammation) biomarkers in the CSF of NHPs, which has not previously been demonstrated by kinase inhibitors of LRRK2; and

Previous report

•in murine tauopathy models, oral PROTAC LRRK2 degrader treatment led to ~50% pathologic tau reduction.

Previous wording

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Through our PROTAC Discovery Engine, our proprietary technology platform to engineer proteolysis targeting chimeras, or PROTAC targeted protein degraders, we are pioneering the development of protein degradation therapies designed to harness the body’s own natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. We believe that our targeted protein degradation approach is a therapeutic modality that may provide distinct advantages over existing modalities, including traditional small molecule therapies and gene-based medicines. We are currently progressing multiple product candidates through clinical development programs, including vepdegestrant, targeting the estrogen receptor, or ER, for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ER positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2, negative, or ER+/HER2-, breast cancer; ARV-102, targeting the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, or LRRK2, protein for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders; and ARV-393, targeting the B-cell lymphoma 6, or BCL6 protein for the treatment of relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. In addition to the programs above and our early-stage collaborations, including with Pfizer, Inc., or Pfizer, and Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., or Genentech, we are conducting exploratory research and development work on multiple other undisclosed targets.
