The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date of June 5, 2026.Arvinas, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARVN) and Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) have announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for vepdegestrant, a novel treatment for estrogen receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (ER+/HER2-), ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of June 5, 2026 [1].Vepdegestrant, an investigational oral PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) ER degrader, demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in median progression-free survival versus fulvestrant in the pivotal Phase 3 VERITAC-2 clinical trial [1]. This trial, which enrolled 624 patients, showed that vepdegestrant could extend the time before the cancer progresses compared to the standard of care, fulvestrant [1].The acceptance of the NDA by the FDA marks a significant milestone in the development of vepdegestrant. The drug is being co-developed and co-commercialized by Arvinas and Pfizer, with both companies sharing the costs and potential profits [1]. The VERITAC-2 trial results were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 Annual Meeting and published in The New England Journal of Medicine [1].Vepdegestrant is the first PROTAC to demonstrate clinical benefit in patients with breast cancer, offering a potential best-in-class treatment option for patients in the second-line ESR1-mutant setting [1]. The FDA's Fast Track designation underscores the significant unmet need in this patient population and the potential for vepdegestrant to offer a meaningful new treatment option [1].The successful submission of the NDA and the upcoming PDUFA action date in June 2026 indicate a promising timeline for the approval of vepdegestrant. However, the approval process is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including the potential need for additional information or further studies by the FDA, as well as the ability to successfully commercialize the drug [1].Arvinas and Pfizer are committed to working with the FDA to ensure that vepdegestrant is approved and made available to patients as rapidly as possible. The companies' collaboration and shared development costs reflect their commitment to advancing innovative treatments for patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer [1].References:[1] https://finance.yahoo.com/news/arvinas-announces-fda-acceptance-drug-200500022.htmlAInvest NewsletterDaily stocks & crypto headlines, free to your inboxGet Newsletter with EmailContinue with GoogleOr continue with othersAppleFacebookXBy continuing, I agree to the and CommentsAdd a public comment...PostNo comments yetTop NewsChina Trains Its Sights on U.S. Chips—Signal or Leverage?Jay's Insight2h agoLoading...Stocks Open Higher as AI Optimism and Fed Hopes Buoy Markets; Oil Rises, Gold SteadyWallstreet Insight3h agoLoading...China’s August Data: Softer Pulse, Incremental Easing Likely as U.S.–China Talks LoomJay's Insight4h agoLoading...Related ArticlesGenmab Stock Surges: FDA Breakthrough for Endometrial Cancer TreatmentAInvest08/28Loading...FDA Approves Johnson & Johnson's Inlexzo for Bladder Cancer with 82% Remission RateAInvest09/09Loading...Johnson & Johnson's FDA-Approved Inlexzo: A Game-Changer in Bladder Cancer TreatmentAInvest09/10Loading...Trending NewsTikTok Deal Reached as President Trump Says Trade Talks With China Going 'Very Well'Wallstreet Insight4h agoLoading...Tesla Shares Soar as Musk Buys $1 Billion Stake After 5 Years, Targeting $8.5 Trillion Market Cap PlanWallstreet Insight4h agoLoading...CoreWeave shares jump 7.5% before market close as NVIDIA and company sign $6.3 billion new order4h agoChina Says Nvidia Violated Anti-Monopoly Law in Preliminary Probe, Will Require Further Investigation Amid Trade TalksWallstreet Insight8h agoLoading...Former OpenAI Exec Reveals the Shocking Truth About AI’s FutureAdam Shapiro09/11Loading...IFFCO's $1.5 Billion Debt Restructuring: Implications for UAE's Diversifying Corporate LandscapePhilip Carter09/12Loading...Amazon Bets Big on Crypto with $500K "Ecosystem Lead" GambitCoin World17h agoLoading...China launches Anti-dumping probe against some US chips. - Bloomberg09/13Whales Awaken, Wallets Proliferate: Why Bitcoin's Breakout Could Be InevitableCoin World22h agoLoading...Tesla shares rise 4% pre-market as Musk acquires 2.5 million shares worth $1 billion.7h agoLoading...Stocks Open Higher as AI Optimism and Fed Hopes Buoy Markets; Oil Rises, Gold SteadyWallstreet Insight3h agoLoading...Alkermes' Strategic Licensing of Vivitrol to Amneal: A Calculated Move in a Fragmented Addiction Therapeutics MarketJulian West09/12Loading...RI Mining's Strategic Alignment with Microsoft's AI Infrastructure Expansion: Unlocking Regional Economic Transformation and High-Tech Industrial Opportunities12X Valeria09/14Loading...Trump: I Think We Will Have A Big Cut This WeekWallstreet Insight6h agoLoading...Financial Week Ahead: Fed's Shadow Looms Large as Meta Ready for Connect ConferenceWallstreet Insight16h agoLoading...Disclaimer: The news articles available on this platform are generated in whole or in part by artificial intelligence and may not have been reviewed or fact checked by human editors.
