PROTAC® Protein Degrader Platform
What is a PROTAC® protein degrader?
A proteolysis‐targeting chimera (PROTAC) degrader is a chimeric, modular small molecule
engineered to induce the degradation of disease‐causing proteins by the ubiquitin‐proteasome system
Protein ligand domain ("warhead") targets a specific protein
A linker region orients the target protein and E3 ligase to enable activity
Ligase ligand recruits a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase
All three regions of the PROTAC degrader play a role in the specificity and potency of target degradation
6
PROTAC® protein degraders harness the ubiquitin‐proteasome system to induce the degradation of disease‐causing proteins

Potential advantages of PROTAC® protein degraders over inhibitors
Overcome Target Protein Overexpression
PROTAC degraders can disable this common tumor resistance mechanism
• | Lapatinib alone results in HER2‐overexpression, but a | |
HER2 | ||
PROTAC created with lapatinib as the "warhead" degrades | ||
natural and overexpressed HER2 | ||
• | HER2 degraded despite increased RNA levels |
Selectively Eliminate Mutated Proteins
PROTAC degraders can differentiate between mutant and wild type proteins
- The three mutants of BRAF shown (V600E, K601E, G466V) differ from the wild type by a single point mutation, but are degraded by a BRAF‐targeted PROTAC that spares the wild type
1 hMito is a protein not targeted to degrade (loading control) | 9 |
Arvinas is making substantial investments in platform expansion and its pipeline, including in undisclosed pipeline targets
Platform Investment and Expansion
- Enhanced prediction of degradation selectivity
- Rapid narrowing of "zone of ubiquitination"
- Improve speed to mutant vs. wild type specificity
- DEL screening and other approaches to incorporating tissue and disease‐specific E3 ligases
- Expansion into new disease areas, e.g., immuno‐oncology, either independently or with partners
Undisclosed "Undruggable" and Difficult‐to‐Drug Targets
- Many (up to ~80%) proteins have not been traditionally addressable by small‐molecule inhibition
- Since PROTAC degraders do not require tight target binding, the "undruggable" space may be available
- PROTAC degraders also advantageous for "difficult to drug" targets where existing therapies leave substantial unmet need

Clinical‐stage Oncology Programs: ARV‐110
ARV‐110 is Arvinas' AR degrader for men with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
Androgen Receptor (AR) Activity Drives Prostate Cancer
- Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the US1
- Current agents work by decreasing androgen levels (abiraterone) or blocking androgen binding to AR (enzalutamide)
- 15‐25% of patients never respond to abiraterone or enzalutamide (intrinsic resistance)
- Acquired resistance mechanisms to abiraterone and enzalutamide include:
- AR gene amplification (40‐60% of patients)
- AR gene enhancer amplification (>70% of patients)
- AR point mutations (~15% of patients)
- Intra‐tumoral androgen production
PROTAC® Degrader ARV‐110
- First‐in‐class AR degrader being tested in men with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on standards of care (enzalutamide, abiraterone)
- In preclinical models, overcomes known resistance mechanisms to enzalutamide and abiraterone
- Highly selective degradation of AR; not brain penetrant
- Received FDA "Fast Track" designation in May 2019
- Initial safety/pharmacokinetic data shared Oct. 2019
- Phase 1 dose escalation data expected 2Q20

- Daily and orally delivered ARV‐110 significantly inhibited tumor growth (at right)

- Metastatic breast cancer accounts for ~6% of newly diagnosed cases2
- 80% of breast cancers are estrogen receptor (ER) positive3

Weak or promiscuous ligands can be converted into potent and selective PROTAC® degraders
When developed into PROTAC degraders, weak binders can become potent degraders
- Foretinib is a relatively weak binder to p38α
- PROTAC 1 is a foretinib‐based PROTAC degrader with a p38α binding affinity of 11 μM
- Despite its 11 μM binding affinity, PROTAC 1 has a DC50 of 210 nM1
- Based on experience, optimization of potency better than 210 nM is likely
A PROTAC degrader based on foretinib has a nanomolar DC50 despite a 11 μM binding affinity
DC50 = 210 nM1
When developed into PROTAC degraders, promiscuous ligands can become selective degraders
- Foretinib binds to 133 protein kinases (left panel)
- In cells treated with a foretinib‐based PROTAC degrader, only a small subset of cellular proteins are degraded (blue‐shaded quadrant of the right panel)

ARV‐110 selectively degrades AR
Orally bioavailable androgen receptor‐ targeted PROTAC protein degrader
Selective Degradation of AR by ARV‐110 in VCaP Cells
- ARV‐110 is in development for the treatment of men with mCRPC who have progressed on abiraterone and/or enzalutamide
- Appears to overcome mechanisms of resistance to current standards of care
- DC50 = 1 nM in VCaP cells1
ARV‐110 Selectively Degrades AR
- After 8 hours of treatment of VCaP cells with 10 nM ARV‐110 in vitro, AR was the only degraded protein among the nearly 4,000 proteins measured

ARV‐110: Phase 1 Study
First patient dosed March 2019
DESIGN
- "3 + 3" dose escalation; starting dose = 35 mg, orally, once daily (po, qd) with food

KEY ENTRY CRITERIA
- Men with mCRPC
- At least two prior systemic therapies, at least one of which was abiraterone or enzalutamide
- Disease progression on most recent therapy
- Rising PSA or 2+ new lesions upon bone scan
KEY OBJECTIVES
- Maximum Tolerated Dose/ Recommended Phase 2 Dose/ Safety
- Pharmacokinetics
-
Anti‐Tumor Activity (PSA,
RECIST) - Biomarkers
BIOMARKERS
- AR degradation in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and pre‐ vs post‐treatment biopsies (when available)
- AR (and other) gene mutations, amplifications in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)
- AR‐V7 in CTCs
