TREMFYA® (guselkumab), the first and only IL-23 inhibitor with a fully subcutaneous treatment regimen, demonstrates durable remission in Crohn’s disease at two years

Clinical remission rates were over 85% for both TREMFYA® maintenance doses at 96 weeks in both the Phase 3 GRAVITI and GALAXI studies TREMFYA® is the only IL-23 inhibitor to demonstrate durable endoscopic and clinical remission with a fully subcutaneous regimen in moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease

Icotrokinra maintains standout combination of therapeutic benefit and a favorable safety profile in once-daily pill through 28 weeks in ulcerative colitis

Building on 12-week findings, icotrokinra demonstrated clinically meaningful outcomes at Week 28 with 31.7% of patients achieving clinical remission and 38.1% showing endoscopic improvement versus placebo in the Phase 2b ANTHEM-UC study Results support Phase 3 clinical development of icotrokinra, a first-in-class targeted oral peptide that precisely blocks the IL-23 receptor, in both moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

Published in The Lancet: Nipocalimab significantly decreased Sjögren’s disease (SjD) activity and severity through substantial reduction in Sjögren’s-related autoantibodies

Nipocalimab, a first-in-class FcRn blocker being investigated for SjD, met its primary endpoint in the Phase 2 DAHLIAS study with statistically significant improvement in ClinESSDAI score, which is based on 11 key systemic disease domains, at Week 24 versus placebo Critical patient-reported SjD symptoms including dryness, pain and fatigue trended towards greater improvement in the nipocalimab-treated group compared to placebo-treated patients Nipocalimab is the only investigational treatment to be granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by U.S. FDA for the treatment of adults living with moderate-to-severe SjD, and the Phase 3 DAFFODIL study is currently enrolling patients

Icotrokinra long-term results affirm promise of targeted oral peptide with high rates of durable skin clearance and favorable safety profile in difficult-to-treat scalp and genital psoriasis

In areas of high impact, 72% of patients with scalp psoriasis and 85% with genital psoriasis treated with icotrokinra achieved site-specific clear or almost clear skin at Week 52 in Phase 3 ICONIC-TOTAL study 67% of patients treated with icotrokinra achieved overall rates of clear or almost clear skin by Week 24, which was maintained through Week 52 Icotrokinra continues to show potential with its standout combination of exceptional skin clearance and favorable safety profile in a once daily pill

Johnson & Johnson’s INLEXZO™ (gemcitabine intravesical system) plus cetrelimab delivers strong pre-surgical results in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer scheduled for radical cystectomy

Phase 2b SunRISe-4 study shows 38% of patients treated with INLEXZO™-based combination had no detectable cancer in the bladder prior to surgery Data support potential role of INLEXZO™ in treating muscle invasive bladder cancer

Subcutaneous amivantamab delivers promising 45 percent overall response rate with median duration of 7.2 months in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer

Responses were rapid and durable, and tumor shrinkage was observed in 82 percent of patients New findings from this investigational study build on the strength of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) in non-small cell lung cancer and broadens its potential across additional solid tumors

TECVAYLI® plus DARZALEX FASPRO® combination regimen significantly improves progression-free survival and overall survival versus standard of care

First Phase 3 study (MajesTEC-3) of an investigational combination to show benefit in PFS and OS in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma as early as second line Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) recommended unblinding the study based on statistically significant results
