RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE™ (lazertinib) significantly outperforms standard of care in first-line EGFR-mutated lung cancer with compelling new data at ELCC 2025

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

Johnson & Johnson’s DARZALEX® (daratumumab) subcutaneous-based regimen receives positive CHMP opinion for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, regardless of transplant eligibility

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

CHMP recommends subcutaneous RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) for the treatment of patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer

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

European Commission approves LAZCLUZE®▼ (lazertinib) in combination with RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer

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

New Drug Application initiated with U.S. FDA for TAR-200, the first and only intravesical drug releasing system for patients with BCG-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

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

Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) research presented by Johnson & Johnson highlights profound disease burden and unmet need for targeted treatment options

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

DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj)-based regimens demonstrate improved rates of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity and progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

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

TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) demonstrates potential as frontline combination therapy for patients with newly diagnosed 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

DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) shows 51 percent reduction in risk of progression to active multiple myeloma for patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma

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

Johnson & Johnson to showcase strength of its broad hematology portfolio and pipeline at the 2024 American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting

More than 90 presentations of clinical trial and real-world data highlight potentially practice-changing evidence and commitment to pioneer the next wave of therapies for patients with hematologic malignancies

CHMP recommends RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) in combination with LAZCLUZE®▼ (lazertinib) for the first-line treatment of patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer

The amivantamab plus lazertinib combination regimen offers potential to provide new standard of care as first-line option for adult patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR ex19del or L858R substitution mutations1 In the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, amivantamab plus lazertinib significantly reduced risk of disease progression or death by 30 percent versus osimertinib monotherapy1
