Arvinas’ ARV-102 Hits >50% LRRK2 Degradation in Phase 1 Parkinson’s Trial

Positive biomarker readouts plus clean safety underpin a progressive supranuclear palsy study next quarter.

Overview

  • ARV-102 achieved greater than 50% LRRK2 degradation in cerebrospinal fluid after 28 days, with target reduction reached by day 14 and sustained through day 28.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid exposure increased with dose, confirming brain penetration for the oral PROTAC degrader.
  • Endolysosomal and neuroinflammatory biomarkers associated with Parkinson’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy declined during treatment.
  • Across 20–80 mg once-daily dosing for 28 days, adverse events were mild with no serious events, discontinuations, or deaths reported.
  • Arvinas presented the data at AD/PD 2026 and plans a Phase 1b PSP study in the second quarter of 2026, with potential progression to a registrational trial later in the year.
