European Commission approves BALVERSA®▼ (erdafitinib) for adult patients with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma

First pan FGFR kinase inhibitor to be approved in the European Economic Area, for adults with unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and susceptible FGFR3 alterations Approval based on THOR results, showing 36 percent reduction in risk of death with erdafitinib versus chemotherapy1

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) approved in the U.S. as a first-line chemotherapy-free treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer

RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE™ is the first and only chemotherapy-free regimen showing superior progression-free survival versus osimertinib Following Priority Review, approval is based on Phase 3 MARIPOSA results showing RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE™ reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 30 percent versus osimertinib, with a nine-month-longer median duration of response

CHMP recommends RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after failure of prior therapy

Patients with EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations, the most common EGFR mutations in NSCLC, currently face a poor prognosis and limited treatment options after disease progression on osimertinib1,2,3,4 In the MARIPOSA-2 study, amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 52 percent compared to chemotherapy alone, and is the first treatment regimen to show improvement in progression-free survival in this patient population5

DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj)-based quadruplet regimen approved in the U.S. for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant-eligible

Findings from first-ever quadruplet therapy study with subcutaneous DARZALEX FASPRO® showed 60 percent reduction in risk of disease progression or death New regimen solidifies DARZALEX FASPRO® as a foundational frontline therapy in multiple myeloma with potential to significantly delay disease progression

CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival in landmark CARTITUDE-4 study

CARVYKTI ® is the first and only BCMA-targeted CAR-T cell therapy approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma who have had at least one prior line of therapy

Subcutaneous amivantamab Biologics License Application submitted to U.S. FDA for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer

Application based on Phase 3 PALOMA-3 results showing five-fold reduction in infusion-related reactions with five-minute administration of subcutaneous amivantamab Longer overall survival, progression-free survival and duration of response also observed with subcutaneous amivantamab

TALVEY® (talquetamab-tgvs) demonstrates highly durable, longer-term responses in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma

24-month overall survival rate of 67 percent achieved with TALVEY® 0.8 mg/kg biweekly dosing in the Phase 1/2 MonumenTAL-1 study

Findings from landmark RESONATE-2 study confirm sustained survival benefit of IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib) for first-line chronic lymphocytic leukaemia treatment with up to 10 years follow-up

RESONATE-2 data presented at the 2024 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress provide longest-term outcomes and safety data ever reported for a monotherapy BTK inhibitor, with a median progression-free survival of 8.9 years1 Additional findings from pooled analysis of three Phase 3 studies showed treatment with ibrutinib has the potential to achieve comparable overall survival to the general European population2

CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) significantly improved progression-free survival and deepened responses versus two standard therapies for patients with functional high-risk multiple myeloma

73 percent reduction in risk of disease progression or death seen with CARVYKTI® in the CARTITUDE-4 study in a subset of patients who had early relapse after initial multiple myeloma therapy1

DARZALEX® (daratumumab)-based regimens significantly improve clinical outcomes in both transplant-eligible and -ineligible patients who are newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma
