What changed

Arvinas presented final Phase 1 findings for its brain-penetrant LRRK2 degrader ARV-102 in 24 patients with Parkinson’s disease treated for 28 days. Exploratory changes in eye movement measurements correlated with reductions in cerebrospinal fluid LRRK2 and changes in pathway biomarkers. The trial was not designed to establish clinical efficacy or effects on disease progression.

Why it may matter

The biomarker associations support further neurological degrader studies, but larger, longer trials are needed to separate exploratory signals from meaningful clinical benefit.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

Amphista previews BRD9 degradation findings and BRAMLIE trial design at ASH

Amphista announced an ASH oral presentation on AMX-883-mediated BRD9 degradation, describing disruption of hematopoietic transcriptional programs, myeloid differentiation, and reduced leukemic stem-cell frequency in experimental work. A separate abstract outlines the ongoing Phase 1 BRAMLIE study in AML and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The announcement does not establish clinical efficacy for AMX-883.

Bispecific protein drives dual receptor degradation in mouse eye-disease models

A PNAS study reports RHV, a tetravalent bispecific protein designed to internalize and lysosomally degrade VCAM-1 and VEGFR on pathological vessels. The original abstract describes activity in mouse choroidal neovascularization models, including efficacy comparable to aflibercept at one-quarter of the molar dose. This is preclinical extracellular receptor degradation, distinct from an intracellular small-molecule PROTAC.
