About vepdegestrant ( ARV-471)
Vepdegestrant is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROTAC ® protein degrader designed to specifically target and degrade the estrogen receptor (ER) for the treatment of patients with early and locally advanced or metastatic ER positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer. Use of vepdegestrant in the ongoing and planned clinical trials will continue to monitor and evaluate patient safety and anti-tumor activity.

In preclinical studies, vepdegestrant demonstrated up to 97% ER degradation in tumor cells, induced robust tumor shrinkage when dosed as a single agent in multiple ER-driven xenograft models, and showed increased anti-tumor activity when compared to a standard of care agent, fulvestrant, both as a single agent and in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor. In July 2021, Arvinas announced a global collaboration with Pfizer for the co-development and co-commercialization of vepdegestrant; Arvinas and Pfizer will equally share worldwide development costs, commercialization expenses, and profits.

About Arvinas
Arvinas is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development, and commercialization of therapies that degrade disease-causing proteins. Arvinas uses its proprietary PROTAC ® Discovery Engine platform to engineer proteolysis targeting chimeras, or PROTAC ® targeted protein degraders, that are designed to harness the body's own natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. In addition to its robust preclinical pipeline of PROTAC ® protein degraders against validated and "undruggable" targets, the company has three investigational clinical-stage programs in development: bavdegalutamide and ARV-766 for the treatment of men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer; and vepdegestrant (ARV-471) for the treatment of patients with early and locally advanced or metastatic ER positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer.

ELAHERE®  Shows Consistent Survival Benefit in Long-Term Analysis for Certain Ovarian Cancer Patients

ELAHERE® Shows Consistent Survival Benefit in Long-Term Analysis for Certain Ovarian Cancer Patients

  • Final data analysis from Phase 3 MIRASOL trial after 30.5-month median follow-up demonstrated 32% reduction in risk of death with ELAHERE compared to chemotherapy in folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC)
  • Data presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer in Seattle

AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced the final analysis of the confirmatory Phase 3 MIRASOL trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ELAHERE ® (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) in women with folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) compared to chemotherapy. At 30.5 months median follow-up, treatment with ELAHERE continued to show significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy. 1 Ovarian cancer patients often present with late-stage disease and are historically first treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, which they may become resistant to and require another therapy, such as ELAHERE. 2

"Ovarian cancer can be devastating, and when cancer cells stop responding to chemotherapy patients may feel hopeless about their journey. The data presented today reinforce the importance of ELAHERE as a transformative therapy for patients with limited options," said Svetlana Kobina , MD, PhD, vice president, oncology medical affairs, AbbVie. "We remain steadfast in our commitment to bring forward innovative therapies that improve the lives of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers."
