IMBRUVICA® is now the only Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) approved with an oral suspension formulation, providing additional flexibility for patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules

Results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study, which supported the CHMP recommendation, showed that cilta-cel has the potential to offer significant benefit to patients in earlier lines of treatment1 Most patients with multiple myeloma relapse after current standard treatments and remain in need of additional therapeutic options at earlier stages of the disease1

Biweekly dosing with TECVAYLI®, the first approved BCMA-targeting bispecific antibody, provides patients with dosing flexibility

The submission is supported by data from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, showing statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC treated with amivantamab plus lazertinib versus osimertinib1 Amivantamab is a fully-human EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity that targets tumours with activating and resistance EGFR mutations and MET mutations and amplifications2,3,4,5

Data supporting the application showed the addition of DARZALEX FASPRO® to lenalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (VRd) induction and consolidation and lenalidomide maintenance therapy reduced the risk of progression or death by 58 percent compared to standard of care If approved, the DARZALEX FASPRO®-based regimen has the potential to provide an effective quadruplet therapy for many patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are eligible for transplant

Clinical and real-world evidence data support treatment with ERLEADA® (apalutamide) and niraparib plus abiraterone acetate given with prednisone in patients with prostate cancer Additional updates will be presented on innovative targeted releasing systems TAR-200 and TAR-210 in bladder cancer

BALVERSA® is the First and Only Targeted Therapy for Patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma and Susceptible Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Alterations Phase 3 THOR Study Showed a 36 Percent Reduction in the Risk of Death with BALVERSA® Versus Chemotherapy in Patients Data were featured at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2023 Congress and in The New England Journal of Medicine

The submission is supported by data from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, which featured in a Late-Breaking Presidential Symposium session at the 2023 ESMO Congress1 Lazertinib is a highly selective, central nervous system-penetrant, third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor2,3

Submissions supported by data from landmark Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, which showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC treated with RYBREVANT® plus lazertinib versus osimertinib

DARZALEX FASPRO®-based induction, consolidation and maintenance regimen reduced risk of progression or death by 58 percent compared to standard of care regimen First presentation of data from Phase 3 PERSEUS study highlighted in late-breaking abstract session at ASH 2023 and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine

Analysis from MonumenTAL-1 study showed patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with TALVEY™ were subsequently treated effectively with several classes of therapy, including CAR-T Additional presentations at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting showed potential improvement in adverse events among patients who received reduced intensity dosing and first-ever results from TALVEY™ combination study

Oral presentations at the 2023 ASH Annual Meeting include patient-reported outcomes from the CARTITUDE-4 study and longer-term efficacy and safety data from CARTITUDE-2 study cohorts A and B, show the promise of CARVYKTI® in earlier lines of treatment

Data highlights strength of multi-target, multi-platform multiple myeloma portfolio and continued innovation in B-cell malignancies to transform patient outcomes

These RYBREVANT® regimens are the first to show improvement in progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following prior osimertinib treatment Late-breaking results from MARIPOSA-2 study presented in a Presidential Symposium at 2023 ESMO Congress and simultaneously published in Annals of Oncology

Early data show an overall survival trend favoring the combination of RYBREVANT® and lazertinib compared to osimertinib; consistent results seen in patients with and without brain metastases Late-breaking results from the MARIPOSA study featured in a Presidential Symposium at 2023 ESMO Congress

Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study results showed sustained, durable complete responses beyond one year with intravesical gemcitabine delivery system
