Key Terms

protac, esr1, her2, cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 4/6 inhibitor, +4 more
8 terms
protac medical
"First-ever FDA approved PROTAC supports the further development and potential of Arvinas’ pipeline"
A PROTAC (proteolysis targeting chimera) is a small engineered molecule that tags a specific protein inside cells and brings it to the cell’s disposal machinery so the protein is destroyed rather than just blocked. Think of it as a targeted cleanup crew that removes a problematic part instead of temporarily turning it off. Investors care because PROTACs can tackle disease targets that traditional drugs cannot, creating potential for breakthrough therapies, larger markets, and binary clinical readouts that can sharply affect company value.
esr1 medical
"for the treatment of ESR1m, ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer"
ESR1 is a gene that makes the estrogen receptor alpha protein, a cellular “lock” that the hormone estrogen (the “key”) fits into to tell cells how to grow, divide and behave. Mutations or changes in ESR1 can change how cancers—especially breast and other hormone-driven tumors—respond to hormone-blocking drugs, so investors track ESR1-linked tests, drugs and trial results because they directly affect treatment choices, market size and regulatory chances in oncology and women’s health.
her2 medical
"ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-authorized test"
HER2 is a protein found on the surface of some cancer cells, especially certain breast cancers. When a cancer has too much HER2, it can grow more quickly and be more aggressive. Knowing about HER2 helps doctors choose the best treatments to target these specific cancer cells.
cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) 4/6 inhibitor medical
"after at least one line of endocrine therapy + cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor"
A cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor is a type of drug that slows or stops certain proteins that drive cell division, acting like a brake on the cell’s growth cycle. For investors, these drugs matter because they are used to treat cancers where uncontrolled cell growth is central; clinical trial results, regulatory approvals, safety profiles and potential patient numbers directly affect a drugmaker’s revenue prospects and stock valuation.
tumor microenvironments (tme) medical
"in patients with solid tumors harboring high- or low-immunogenic tumor microenvironments (TME)"
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is the neighborhood around a tumor — the mix of normal cells, immune cells, blood vessels, structural support and chemical signals that surround and interact with cancer cells. It matters to investors because this environment strongly affects whether treatments work, how tumors grow or resist therapy, and how a drug performs in trials, so TME-focused drugs or diagnostics can change clinical success and commercial value.
immune checkpoint inhibitor medical
"demonstrating the potential to overcome immune checkpoint inhibitor resistance in solid tumors"
An immune checkpoint inhibitor is a type of medicine that helps the body's immune system recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. It works by blocking certain signals that cancer uses to hide from immune defenses, allowing the immune system to target tumors. This breakthrough has led to new cancer treatments, making immune checkpoint inhibitors an important area of growth and innovation in the healthcare industry.
syngeneic medical
"Robust single-agent antitumor and proinflammatory activity observed in multiple syngeneic tumor models"
Syngeneic describes cells, tissues, or whole animals that are genetically identical or from the same strain so they do not trigger immune rejection when transferred between individuals. Investors should care because syngeneic models are used in preclinical research to test therapies in an immune-compatible setting, which can make early results more predictable or limited in how well they will translate to genetically diverse human patients—like testing a product only on one exact phone model.
phase 1 medical
"Presented ARV-102 (LRRK2 degrader) Phase 1 clinical data in patients with Parkinson’s disease"
Phase 1 is the first stage of testing a new drug or medical treatment in people, focused primarily on safety, how the body handles the product, and finding a tolerated dose. Think of it as a short, tightly controlled experiment with a small group to check for dangerous side effects before wider testing; for investors it is an early milestone that reduces some uncertainty but still carries high risk and potential for both big value changes and setbacks.

Financial Guidance
Based on its current operating plan, Arvinas believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2028.

First Quarter Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities Position: As of March 31, 2026, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $614.9 million as compared with $685.4 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $70.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was primarily related to cash used in operations of $67.5 million, unrealized losses on marketable securities of $1.6 million, and the purchase of lab equipment and leasehold improvements of $1.3 million.

Research and Development Expenses: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) research and development (R&D) expenses were $60.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared with $90.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in R&D expenses of $30.5 million for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in compensation and related personnel expenses of $15.6 million, which are not allocated by program, and a decrease in external expenses of $14.2 million. External expenses include program-specific expenses, which decreased by $9.5 million, primarily driven by a decrease in our vepdegestrant (ARV-471) program of $15.2 million, partially offset by an increase in our ARV-806 program of $5.6 million, and non-program specific expenses, which decreased by $4.7 million.

Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $54.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared with $79.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, excluding $0.3 million of restructuring expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $5.7 million and $11.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the quarters ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.

General and Administrative Expenses: GAAP General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $19.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared with $26.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in G&A expenses of $7.5 million for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of $5.3 million.

Non-GAAP G&A expenses were $13.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared with $23.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, excluding $0.8 million of restructuring expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and $5.3 million and $3.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.

Revenue: Revenue was $15.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared with $188.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Revenue for the quarter is related to the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer and the collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer. The decrease of $173.2 million was primarily due to a decrease in revenue from the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer driven by changes in total program cost estimates recognized in 2025 resulting from the removal of two Phase 3 trials from the development plan.

About Arvinas
Arvinas (Nasdaq: ARVN) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Through its PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) protein degrader platform, Arvinas is pioneering the development of protein degradation therapies designed to harness the body’s natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. Arvinas, with its partner Pfizer, developed the first-and-only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved PROTAC, a type of heterobifunctional protein degrader, VEPPANU (vepdegestrant), for the treatment of adults with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-authorized test, with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy. Arvinas and Pfizer have entered into a transaction with Rigel Pharmaceuticals for the exclusive global rights of VEPPANU; closing of the transaction is subject to the parties’ receipt of any necessary consents or approvals, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Arvinas is currently progressing multiple investigational drugs through clinical development programs, including ARV-102, targeting LRRK2 for neurodegenerative disorders; ARV-806, targeting KRAS G12D for mutated cancers, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers; ARV-393, targeting BCL6 for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; ARV-027, targeting the polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptor, or polyQ-AR, in skeletal muscle for the treatment of Spinal-Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, also known as Kennedy’s disease; and vepdegestrant, targeting the estrogen receptor for patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer. Arvinas is headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut. For more information about Arvinas, visit www.arvinas.com and connect on LinkedIn and X.

About ARV-102
ARV-102 is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROTAC designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and specifically target and degrade leucine-rich repeat kinase (LRRK2), a large, multidomain scaffolding kinase with GTPase activity. Increased activity and over expression of LRRK2 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, including LRRK2 genetic and idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). ARV-102 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with Parkinson’s disease and Arvinas plans to initiate a Phase 1b, and potentially registrational Phase 2, clinical trial with ARV-102 in patients with PSP, pending regulatory feedback, in 2H 2026.

About ARV-806
ARV806 is a novel, investigational PROTAC designed to selectively target and degrade mutant Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) G12D. KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated human oncogenes and G12D is the most common mutation of the KRAS protein. ARV-806 has demonstrated potent, selective degradation of KRAS G12D and robust anti-tumor activity in preclinical models. ARV-806 has the potential to address high unmet need in solid tumors, such as pancreatic, colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer, and is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12D mutations.

About ARV-393
ARV-393 is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROTAC designed to specifically target and degrade B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor and major driver of B-cell lymphomas. During B-cell development, tightly controlled BCL6 protein expression regulates >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. PROTAC-mediated degradation has the potential to address the historically undruggable nature of BCL6. ARV-393 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial as a monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma and in in combination with glofitamab as a chemotherapy-free combination approach in patients with DLBCL.

About ARV-027
ARV-027 is an oral, peripherally restricted investigational PROTAC degrader designed to selectively target and eliminate the polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptor (polyQ-AR) in skeletal muscle. ARV-027 is a clinical candidate specifically selected for potent in vitro reduction of cytosolic and nuclear polyQ-AR and for favorable skeletal-muscle exposure following oral administration. The polyQ-AR protein is the pathogenic driver of spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), a rare, X-linked, genetically defined neuromuscular disease caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the androgen receptor (AR) gene. SBMA leads to progressive muscle weakness, dysphagia, and functional decline, and currently has no approved disease-modifying therapies approved by the FDA or EMA, representing a significant unmet medical need. ARV-027 is currently being evaluated in a fist-in-human Phase 1 clinical trial in healthy volunteers.

About ARV-6723
ARV-6723 is an oral investigational PROTAC designed to degrade hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1, or HPK1, and is Arvinas’ first clinical candidate in the immuno-oncology space. Preclinically, ARV-6723 has shown potent, selective HPK1 degradation and strong anti-tumor immune responses with superior tumor control in low- and high- immunogenic tumor models. HPK1 acts as a negative regulator in T-cell signaling. Degrading HPK1 and its scaffolding function has the potential to unleash an immune response with potent anti-tumor effects and minimum off-target toxicity. Arvinas plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial of ARV-6723 in patients with advanced solid tumors in 2026.

About VEPPANU
VEPPANU (vepdegestrant) is an orally bioavailable PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC), estrogen receptor degrader approved in the U.S. for use as a monotherapy in the treatment of adults with estrogen receptor–positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2–negative (HER2-), ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-authorized test, with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The results presented in this press release include both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) information and non-GAAP information. As used in this release, non-GAAP research and development (“R&D”) expense is defined by Arvinas as GAAP R&D expense excluding restructuring and stock-based compensation expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative (“G&A”) expense is defined by Arvinas as GAAP G&A expense excluding restructuring and stock-based compensation expense. Arvinas uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Arvinas’ ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Arvinas believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Arvinas’ industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Arvinas’ non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
