This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by Pfizer Inc. (“Pfizer”) and Pfizer Holdings Europe (“PHE” and, together with Pfizer, the “Reporting Persons”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, 2003 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, filed on December 22, 2003 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, filed on February 14, 2006 (“Amendment No. 2”) and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, filed on May 1, 2015 (“Amendment No. 3” and, with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”) and relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of ArQule, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to update the percentage of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by Pfizer and PHE as a result of dilution due to equity issuances by the Issuer.  Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.  Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.                        Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) The information set forth on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) The information set forth on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) Neither Pfizer nor PHE has engaged in any transactions with respect to the Issuer’s Common Stock in the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On March 2, 2016, as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2016, the Issuer consummated the offering to certain institutional and accredited investors of up to 11,600,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Private Placement”).  The Reporting Persons did not take part in the Private Placement.  As a result of dilution caused by the Private Placement, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The ownership percentage set forth in Row 13 of the cover pages hereto has been calculated based on an assumed total of 74,529,706 shares of Common Stock outstanding, comprised of (i) 62,929,706 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 17, 2016, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, plus (ii) 11,600,000 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Private Placement.
