“We are thrilled to see this level of clinical activity in such a heavily pre-treated patient population,” said John Houston, Ph.D., chairperson, chief executive officer, and president at Arvinas. “Vepdegestrant is the only PROTAC® ER degrader in late-stage clinical development. The results from this trial evaluating vepdegestrant in combination with palbociclib help advance our goals of benefitting patients with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. It is encouraging to see preliminary signals of activity in both wild-type and ESR1 mutant tumors, with manageable tolerability and low rates of discontinuation.”
