Arvinas to Present Preclinical Data for PROTAC BCL6 Degrader, ARV-393, at 2025 American Association for Cancer Research® (AACR) Annual Meeting
Rhea-AI Summary
Arvinas (NASDAQ: ARVN) announced it will present new preclinical combination data for ARV-393, their investigational PROTAC BCL6 degrader, at the upcoming AACR Annual Meeting in Chicago (April 25-30, 2025). The presentation will focus on ARV-393's potential combination with standard lymphoma treatments.
The research highlights ARV-393, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) degrader targeting the B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6), which is a transcriptional repressor and major driver of B-cell lymphomas. The poster presentation, titled 'ARV-393, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) BCL6 Degrader, Combined With Biologics or Small-Molecule Inhibitors Induces Tumor Regressions in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Models,' will be presented on April 28, 2025.
Positive
- Preclinical data shows tumor regression in lymphoma models
- Successful combination potential with existing standard of care treatments
Negative
- Still in early preclinical stage, far from market approval
- No human trial data available yet
Company to highlight preclinical study of ARV-393, an investigational PROTAC BCL6 degrader, in combination with standard of care therapies
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arvinas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company working to develop a new class of drugs based on targeted protein degradation, today announced that new preclinical combination data for ARV-393 will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research® (AACR) Annual meeting, April 25-30, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. The poster highlights the potential for ARV-393 to be combined with various standard of care lymphoma treatments.
ARV-393 is Arvinas’ investigational PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) degrader targeting the B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor and major driver of B-cell lymphomas.

About ARV-393
ARV-393 is an investigational PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) designed to degrade B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor and major driver of B-cell lymphomas. The BCL6 protein facilitates B cell tolerance of rapid proliferation and somatic gene recombination via repressing cell cycle checkpoints, terminal differentiation, apoptosis, and the DNA damage response. PROTAC-mediated degradation has the potential to address the traditional undruggable nature of BCL6. ARV-393 is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
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 PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) protein degrader platform, the Company 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 is currently progressing multiple investigational drugs through clinical development programs, including vepdegestrant, targeting the estrogen receptor for patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer; ARV-393, targeting BCL6 for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; and ARV-102, targeting LRRK2 for neurodegenerative disorders. Arvinas is headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut. For more information about Arvinas, visit www.arvinas.com and connect on LinkedIn and X.
