Arvinas ARVN is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing innovative medicines using its proprietary PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) protein degradation technology. The company’s product candidates, particularly those targeting hormone-driven breast cancer, and its broader pipeline provide potential long-term growth opportunities.
Veppanu’s Approval Validates Arvinas’ Technology
Veppanu (vepdegestrant), approved by the FDA in May 2026, is Arvinas’ first product. The approval marked an important milestone for the company, as Veppanu became the first FDA-approved PROTAC protein degrader. This achievement provides clinical validation for the company’s technology and demonstrates its ability to deliver medicines that remove disease-causing proteins.
The drug is approved to treat certain adults with ESR1-mutated, ER-positive/HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Veppanu was developed in collaboration with Pfizer PFE and the companies subsequently out-licensed the drug’s exclusive global development, manufacturing and commercialization rights to Rigel Pharmaceuticals RIGL.
Under the May 2026 agreement, Arvinas and Pfizer are entitled to receive a $70 million upfront payment and are also eligible for an additional $15 million upon completion of transition activities. They may also receive up to $320 million in development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, plus tiered royalties on net sales. This agreement allows Arvinas to earn collaboration revenue without directly managing global sales, although future payments will depend on the drug’s commercial success.
Year to date, ARVN shares have lost 37.1% against the industry’s 3.7% growth.

Diversified Pipeline Remains a Key to ARVN’s Growth
Arvinas’ pipeline extends beyond Veppanu. The company is advancing several investigational drug candidates that could support its long-term growth. ARV-393, an oral BCL6 degrader, is being evaluated in a phase I study in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Early results have shown preliminary responses in B- and T-cell lymphomas, and the company is also studying the drug in combination with glofitamab in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Arvinas plans to present additional clinical data in the second half of 2026 and in 2027.
ARV-102, an oral LRRK2 degrader, is being developed for neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s disease. The company plans to share additional biomarker data this month and continue discussions with global health authorities about potential clinical trials in progressive supranuclear palsy in 2027. Meanwhile, ARV-027, an oral androgen receptor degrader, has completed the single-dose cohorts of its phase I study in healthy volunteers and begun multiple-dose testing. Initial data on androgen receptor degradation in muscle are expected in the first half of 2027.
Arvinas is also developing ARV-6723, its first investigational immuno-oncology candidate, which targets the HPK1 protein to enhance immune-cell activity against cancer. Following encouraging preclinical findings, the company initiated a phase I study in patients with advanced solid tumors in September 2026. ARV-806, an oral KRAS G12D degrader, has completed enrollment in its phase I dose-escalation study, with initial monotherapy data expected later in 2026. The company is seeking a licensing partner for further clinical development of the candidate, including dose expansion and combination studies.
