NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arvinas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARVN), a clinical-stage biotechnology company working to develop a new class of drugs based on targeted protein degradation, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.
“It was an eventful and exciting quarter at Arvinas, with significant clinical and regulatory progress across our pipeline of PROTAC degraders,” said John Houston, Ph.D., Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and President at Arvinas. “The recent submission of a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for vepdegestrant represents a truly significant first for Arvinas – the first PROTAC degrader to enter clinical trials and have a positive readout in a Phase 3 clinical trial, and the first ever new drug application submitted for a PROTAC. We also continued to advance our early-stage programs, presenting compelling first in human data from ARV-102, our LRRK2 degrader, and preclinical data for our BCL6 degrader, ARV-393, as well as initiating a Phase 1 clinical trial with our KRAS G12D degrader, ARV-806. We have multiple near-term clinical and regulatory milestones, and our programs offer a rich set of catalysts over the next 12 months.”

Financial Guidance
Based on its current operating plan, Arvinas believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025, is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2028.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities Position: As of June 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $861.2 million, as compared with $1,039.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $178.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily related to cash used in operations of $177.0 million, the purchase of lab equipment and leasehold improvements of $1.6 million and $0.1 million of long-term debt repayments, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of shares under the ESPP of $0.5 million.
Research and Development Expenses: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) Research and development (R&D) expenses were $68.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared with $93.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in research and development expenses of $25.1 million for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in external expenses of $18.3 million and a decrease in compensation and related personnel expenses of $7.9 million, which are not allocated by program. External expenses include (i) program-specific expenses, which decreased by $15.9 million, primarily driven by decreases in our vepdegestrant (ARV-471) and luxdegalutamide (ARV-766) programs of $10.0 million and $9.5 million, respectively, partially offset by increases in our ARV-102 and ARV-806 programs of $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and (ii) our non-program specific expenses, which decreased by $2.4 million.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $59.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared with $83.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, excluding $0.6 million of restructuring expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $8.5 million and $10.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.
General and Administrative Expenses: GAAP General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $25.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared with $31.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $6.0 million for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in personnel and infrastructure-related costs of $4.8 million and professional fees of $2.2 million, partially offset by an increase in costs related to developing our commercial operations of $1.1 million.
Non-GAAP G&A expenses were $20.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared with $20.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, excluding $0.4 million of restructuring expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and $4.7 million and $10.9 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.
Revenue: Revenue was $22.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 as compared with $76.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Revenue for the quarter is related to the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer and the collaboration and license agreement with Pfizer. The decrease of $54.1 million was primarily due to $45.6 million of decreased revenue from the Novartis License Agreement and the Novartis Asset Agreement, both of which were entered into during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and were completed by December 31, 2024 as the technology transfer of our ongoing and planned clinical trials of luxdegalutamide (ARV-766) were transitioned to Novartis. Revenue from the Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer decreased by $6.8 million related to the removal of the first-line Phase 3 combination trial with Pfizer’s novel investigational CDK4 inhibitor, atirmociclib, and the removal of the second-line Phase 3 combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor from the development plan during the first quarter of 2025 and revenue from the Bayer Collaboration Agreement decreased by $1.6 million as a result of the termination of the Bayer Collaboration Agreement in August 2024.

About Arvinas
Arvinas (Nasdaq: ARVN) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to improving the lives of patients suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Through its PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) protein degrader platform, Arvinas is pioneering the development of protein degradation therapies designed to harness the body’s natural protein disposal system to selectively and efficiently degrade and remove disease-causing proteins. Arvinas is currently progressing multiple investigational drugs through clinical development programs, including vepdegestrant, targeting the estrogen receptor for patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer; ARV-393, targeting BCL6 for relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin Lymphoma; ARV-102, targeting LRRK2 for neurodegenerative disorders; and ARV-806, targeting KRAS G12D for mutated cancers, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Arvinas is headquartered in New Haven, Connecticut. For more information about Arvinas, visit www.arvinas.com and connect on LinkedIn and X.
About Vepdegestrant
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 ER positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer.
In July 2021, Arvinas announced a global collaboration with Pfizer for the co-development and co-commercialization of vepdegestrant; Arvinas and Pfizer will share worldwide development costs, commercialization expenses, and profits.
About ARV-102
ARV-102 is an investigational, orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant PROTAC protein degrader designed to specifically target and degrade leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), which is a large, multidomain scaffolding kinase. Increased activity and expression of LRRK2 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, including LRRK2 genetic and idiopathic Parkinson’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy.
About ARV-393
ARV-393 is an investigational, orally bioavailable PROTAC designed to specifically target and degrade B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6), a transcriptional repressor and major driver of B-cell lymphomas. During B-cell development, tightly controlled BCL6 protein expression regulates >600 genes to facilitate rapid B-cell proliferation and tolerance of somatic hypermutation and gene recombination for antibody generation. Deregulated BCL6 expression is common in B-cell lymphoma and promotes cancer cell survival, proliferation, and genomic instability. PROTAC-mediated degradation has the potential to address the historically undruggable nature of BCL6. ARV-393 is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
About ARV-806
ARV‑806 is a novel, investigational PROTAC degrader designed to selectively target and degrade mutant Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) G12D — a highly prevalent oncogenic driver in solid tumors such as pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers. Engineered using Arvinas’ proprietary protein degradation platform, ARV‑806 has demonstrated potent, selective degradation of KRAS G12D in preclinical models, resulting in sustained MAPK pathway suppression and robust anti-tumor activity. ARV‑806 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1 clinical trial in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12D mutations, following FDA clearance of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application in 2025.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The results presented in this press release include both Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) information and non-GAAP information. As used in this release, non-GAAP research and development (“R&D”) expense is defined by Arvinas as GAAP R&D expense excluding restructuring and stock-based compensation expense, and non-GAAP general and administrative (“G&A”) expense is defined by Arvinas as GAAP G&A expense excluding restructuring and stock-based compensation expense. Arvinas uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate Arvinas’ ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Arvinas believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in Arvinas’ industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of Arvinas’ non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Arvinas’ business
