Johnson & Johnson advances leadership in oncology innovation with more than 75 clinical study and real-world presentations at ASCO and EHA
PALOMA-3 presentation of subcutaneous amivantamab and lazertinib selected to showcase cutting-edge approaches in lung cancer during prestigious “Best of ASCO” program New data showcase first- and -best-in-class, complementary multiple myeloma therapies, including DARZALEX® (daratumumab), CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel), TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) and TALVEY® (talquetamab-tgvs)
TAR-210 results show 90% recurrence-free survival and 90% complete response in patients with high-risk and intermediate-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer, respectively
Updated results reinforce the potential of TAR-210 to transform treatment of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer with fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) alterations
Phase 2 data for ERLEADA® (apalutamide) plus androgen deprivation therapy following radical prostatectomy in patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer show 100% biochemical free recurrence rate more than two years post-surgery
Study highlights opportunity for treatment intensification in this population since approximately 50% of patients with high-risk localized prostate cancer (HRLPC) experience disease recurrence within two years of surgery
TAR-200 monotherapy shows greater than 80% complete response rate in patients with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer
New data from Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study show rapid achievement of complete response (CR) with 98% achieving a CR within 12 weeks TAR-200 provides durable CRs in patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)–unresponsive high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ – a disease area with limited treatment options for patients
Johnson & Johnson receives positive CHMP opinion for RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) in combination with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations
This positive CHMP opinion establishes amivantamab as a new option, and the first fully-human EGFR-MET bispecific antibody, in the first-line treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion-mutated NSCLC The recommendation is supported by data from the Phase 3 PAPILLON study, which showed amivantamab plus chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival in adult patients, versus chemotherapy alone1
CARVYKTI®▼ (ciltacabtagene autoleucel; cilta-cel) is the first BCMA-targeted treatment approved by the European Commission for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy
Expanded indication for this one-time infusion may provide patients with a potential period away from their multiple myeloma treatment as early as first relapse1 Approval is based on results from the PHASE 3 CARTITUDE-4 study, in which treatment with cilta-cel in 1-3 prior lines of therapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 74 percent compared to standard therapies1
CARVYKTI® is the First and Only BCMA-Targeted Treatment Approved by the U.S. FDA for Patients with Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma Who Have Received at Least One Prior Line of Therapy
Expanded indication for this one-time infusion will provide more patients with a potential period away from their multiple myeloma treatment as early as first relapse Approval is based on results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study, in which treatment with CARVYKTI® in 1-3 prior lines of therapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 59 percent compared to standard therapies
RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) data at ELCC advance Johnson & Johnson’s ambition to transform the standard of care for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer
Featured data include new results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, which has received U.S. FDA Priority Review, and the Phase 1b PALOMA study of subcutaneous amivantamab
U.S. FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee recommends CARVYKTI® (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) for the earlier treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
FDA ODAC unanimously votes 11 to 0 supporting favorable risk-benefit assessment of CARVYKTI® based on results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study
Johnson & Johnson Completes Acquisition of Ambrx
Acquisition strengthens Johnson & Johnson’s commitment to innovation in prostate cancer and deepens pipeline of next-generation antibody drug conjugates and targeted oncologic therapeutics
Johnson & Johnson submits application to the European Medicines Agency for DARZALEX® (daratumumab)-based quadruplet therapy for the treatment of patients with transplant-eligible, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma
Submission supported by data from Phase 3 PERSEUS study, which showed the daratumumab subcutaneous formulation-based regimen significantly reduced the risk of progression or death, compared to standard of care regimen.1
RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) in Combination With Chemotherapy Is the First FDA Approved Therapy for First-line Treatment of Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations
Approval is based on results from the Phase 3 PAPILLON study, which demonstrated RYBREVANT® plus chemotherapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 61 percent versus chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations National Comprehensive Cancer Network ® (NCCN ®) updated its NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines ®) to recommend amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) plus chemotherapy as a preferred first-line regimen for patients with NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations
