Overview We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Through our PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera, or PROTAC, protein degradation platform, we are pioneering the development of a new class of therapeutics designed to harness the body’s ow n natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. We have designed and optimized our proprietary PROTAC Discovery Engine for the discovery of PROTAC therapeutics to address diseases caused by abnormal proteins or aberrant protein expression. We believe that our targeted protein degradation approach is a novel therapeutic modality that may provide distinct advantages over existing therapies and address a broad range of targets, including historically undruggable proteins, in areas of significant unmet need. In the past five years, seven of the programs developed using our PROTAC protein degradation platform have progressed to clinical trials in oncology and neurology indications after demonstrating potent and selective protein degradation in our preclinical studies. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has accepted our New Drug Application, or NDA, for vepdegestrant, our most advanced product candidate from the platform, for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-), or ER+/HER2-, estrogen receptor 1, or ESR1,-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have previously received endocrine-based therapy, and has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act, or PDUFA, action date of June 5, 2026. We believe favorable clinical trial results in our ongoing oncology and neurology programs would further validate our platform as a new therapeutic modality for the potential treatment of diseases caused by dysregulated intracellular proteins. We are currently progressing the following product candidates through clinical development programs: • ARV-102, targeting the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2, or LRRK2, protein for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's disease, or PD, and progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP; • ARV-806, targeting Kirsten rat sarcoma, or KRAS, -G12D protein for cancers with the G12D mutation, including pancreatic, colorectal and non-small cell lung cancer ; • ARV-393, targeting the B-cell lymphoma 6, or BCL6, protein for the treatment of relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or NHL; • ARV-027, targeting the polyglutamine-expanded androgen receptor, or polyQ-AR, in skeletal muscle; and • vepdegestrant, targeting the estrogen receptor, or ER, for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer. We are also advancing several preclinical candidates through early stage development, in a broad range of intracellular disease targets, including proteins that currently cannot be addressed by existing small molecule therapies, commonly referred to as “undruggable” or under-drugged targets. These preclinical candidates include ARV-6723 targeting hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1, or HPK1, and a pan-KRAS degrader targeting multiple variants of KRAS while sparing other RAS isoforms. In addition to the programs above and our early-stage collaborations , including with Pfizer, Inc., or Pfizer, and Genentech, Inc. and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd., or Genentech, we are conducting exploratory research and development work on multiple other undisclosed targets . Our Strategy Our mission is to improve the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases through the discovery, development, and commercialization of novel protein degraders. 7 We are currently developing PROTAC degraders to address targets within oncology and neurology, and we believe there is the potential for applicability in other therapeutic areas as well. The key elements of our strategy are to: • Advance our current oncology and neurology pipeline through anticipated data milestones to evaluate safety, efficacy, and biological activity, with the objective of demonstrating therapeutic differentiation to existing therapies. These clinical data will inform development priorities, resource allocation, and subsequent clinical and regulatory strategies. • Create medicines using new therapeutic modalities that have potential benefits over current modalities.…
