October 13, 2025 at 07:00 AM EDT

– Presentation to include new patient-reported outcomes (PRO) data from the Phase 3 VERITAC-2 clinical trial –

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arvinas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARVN) today announced that new data for vepdegestrant will be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress to be held October 17 through 21, 2025, in Berlin, Germany. Vepdegestrant is a novel investigational PROTAC estrogen receptor (ER) degrader which is being developed with Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) as a potential monotherapy for ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer with estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutations in the second line-plus setting. Ongoing studies are also evaluating vepdegestrant as a monotherapy and as part of combination therapy for ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

The presentation details are as follows:

About Vepdegestrant
Vepdegestrant is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) estrogen receptor degrader. Vepdegestrant is being developed as a potential monotherapy for ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer with estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutations in the second line-plus setting. Ongoing studies are also evaluating vepdegestrant as a monotherapy and as part of combination therapy for ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

In July 2021, Arvinas announced a global collaboration with Pfizer for the co-development and co-commercialization of vepdegestrant. In September 2025, Arvinas and Pfizer announced their plan to jointly select a third party for the out-licensing and commercialization of vepdegestrant.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for vepdegestrant for its 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 previously treated with endocrine-based therapy. Vepdegestrant has also been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA, supporting the potential for vepdegestrant to offer a meaningful new treatment option for patients with ER+, HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with endocrine-based therapy.
