Vepdegestrant: First Approval.
Article in Drugs, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Vepdegestrant (VEPPANU; formerly ARV 471) is a novel PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) that is able to simultaneously bind the estrogen receptor (ER) and an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, resulting in polyubiquitination of the ER and its subsequent degradation via a proteasome. It is being developed by Arvinas and Pfizer primarily as a treatment for ER+, HER2- breast cancer. In May 2026, vepdegestrant received its first global approval in the USA for adults with ER+, HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-authorized test, with disease progression following at least one line of endocrine therapy. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of vepdegestrant leading to its first approval in this indication.
