July 2025 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry” The document discusses the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. FDA for vepdegestrant (ARV-471), a PROTAC protein degrader targeting the estrogen receptor, by Arvinas and Pfizer. This submission is based on positive results from the Phase 3 VERITAC-2 trial and marks a significant milestone as vepdegestrant is anticipated to be the first FDA-approved PROTAC degrader. PROTACs, a novel class of molecules, selectively degrade disease-causing proteins and offer advantages over traditional small molecule inhibitors, such as mitigating off-target effects and overcoming drug resistance. Despite concerns about their large molecular weight and drug-like properties, recent clinical results have been promising. The success of PROTACs has inspired the development of other chimeric molecules for therapeutic applications.
