DARZALEX FASPRO®-based quadruplet regimen significantly improves minimal residual disease negativity for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients for whom transplant is not planned
Study of the first and only subcutaneous quadruplet regimen demonstrates 60.9 percent improvement in minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity and 43 percent reduction in the risk of progression or death Phase 3 CEPHEUS study results presented in late-breaking oral presentation at the International Myeloma Society (IMS) Annual Meeting
TALVEY® (talquetamab-tgvs) and DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) based combination shows deep and durable responses in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

Neoadjuvant TAR-200 plus cetrelimab nearly doubles the pathological complete response rate compared to cetrelimab alone in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer
TAR-200 plus cetrelimab effective in reducing tumor size in those with muscle-invasive disease, potentially improving surgical outcomes and lowering risk of recurrence
New data from TAR-200 Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study show 84 percent complete response rate in patients with high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer
Investigational TAR-200 monotherapy demonstrates high complete response rate without the need for reinduction or additive therapy in patients who are Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive

Post-progression outcomes showed significant and sustained improvement for RYBREVANT® plus standard of care versus chemotherapy alone
Dexamethasone reduces infusion-related reactions in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer treated with intravenous RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw)
Pre-medication regimen showed an infusion-related reaction rate of 22.5 percent with intravenous RYBREVANT®, a three-fold reduction from 67.4 percent historically seen with standard IRR management
RYBREVANT ® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) show strong favorable overall survival trend versus osimertinib in EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer
New longer-term data from the MARIPOSA study confirm superior outcomes of chemotherapyfree RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE™ regimen compared to osimertinib monotherapy as firstline therapy Results from an interim analysis featured in late-breaker oral presentation at WCLC
European Commission approves RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer after failure of prior therapy
Patients with EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations, the most common EGFR mutations in NSCLC, have until now faced a poor prognosis and limited treatment options after disease progression on an EGFR TKI1,2,3,4 Amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy is the first treatment regimen to show significant improvement in progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy alone in this patient population5
Johnson & Johnson is transforming solid tumor cancer outcomes with new data at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer and European Society for Medical Oncology Congress
Four RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) studies feature compelling new findings in lung and colorectal cancers New TAR-200 data reveal the potential of organ-sparing therapy for the treatment of bladder cancer
