Landmark approval is based on results from the Phase 3 AQUILA study, showing fixed-duration treatment with daratumumab significantly reduced the risk of progression to active multiple myeloma or death by 51 percent compared to active monitoring1 This milestone marks a critical advance in early intervention for multiple myeloma as the first authorised treatment, offering a new treatment paradigm for patients with high-risk smouldering disease2

Ibrutinib is the first approved Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor to demonstrate statistically meaningful outcomes versus autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) for the frontline treatment of transplant eligible patients with mantle cell lymphoma1 Data from the Phase 3 TRIANGLE study defines the fixed-duration ibrutinib-based regimen as a new standard of care (SOC) with significantly improved overall survival and failure-free survival versus ASCT1

TAR-200 monotherapy shows highest complete response with sustained benefits in 12-month data from Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study (Cohort 2) Compelling first results from Cohort 4 of Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study show potential of TAR-200 monotherapy in patients with papillary-only, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

Median overall survival improvement projected to exceed one year with much-anticipated overall survival analysis showing statistically superior result versus osimertinib Preventative dermatologic regimen meets primary endpoint and enhances patient experience

If approved, daratumumab will be the only anti-CD38 available for all patient types across newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, cementing daratumumab as a foundational therapy in the frontline setting. Recommendation supported by results from CEPHEUS, the fifth Phase 3 study of daratumumab to demonstrate improved progression free survival in the frontline setting.1,2,3,4

Data from the Phase 3 PALOMA-3 study showed non-inferiority to intravenous administration meeting both co-primary pharmacokinetic (PK) endpoints, as well as a five-fold reduction in infusion-related reactions and fewer venous thromboembolic events1 CHMP has issued a positive opinion for an extension of marketing authorisation for subcutaneous amivantamab dosed every two weeks

Latest topline data from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study shows amivantamab plus lazertinib is the first regimen to demonstrate superior overall survival benefit compared to the current standard of care osimertinib1 Median overall survival improvement is expected to exceed one year1

Application accepted for U.S. FDA Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) based on Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study showing highest single-agent complete response rate of 83.5 percent1

Abstracts presented at ASH 2024 provide insight into the patient experience given the unpredictable nature of wAIHA, a rare autoantibody disease, and the uncertainty of current treatment approaches used to manage the condition There are no FDA-approved therapies indicated for wAIHA, and patients living with this condition need targeted treatment options with a proven safety and efficacy profile Johnson & Johnson is evaluating nipocalimab for the potential treatment of wAIHA in the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study, which is expected to read out in 2025

New analysis from Phase 3 CEPHEUS study demonstrates 85 percent of patients who achieved MRD negativity (10-6) with DARZALEX FASPRO® were progression free at 4.5 years Subgroup analysis from Phase 3 AURIGA study show higher rates of MRD-negative conversion in patient populations disproportionately impacted by multiple myeloma

100 percent of evaluable patients for minimal residual disease (MRD) testing achieved MRD negativity in MajesTEC-5 as induction therapy and MajesTEC-4 as maintenance therapy

First and only subcutaneous anti-CD38 therapy demonstrating potential to prevent end-organ damage, and extend progression-free survival and overall survival based on findings from Phase 3 AQUILA study
