DARZALEX® (daratumumab)-based maintenance regimens show clinically meaningful deep and durable responses in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

Minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity rate of 10-5 more than doubled by 12 months with DARZALEX FASPRO® in maintenance therapy compared to lenalidomide alone, resulting in improvement in 30-month progression-free survival

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

Updated data show 100 percent overall response rate with 56 percent of patients achieving complete response or better with weekly dosing, supporting the combinability of the GPRC5D bispecific antibody Safety profile, including infection rates, similar to TALVEY® and DARZALEX FASPRO® monotherapies

DARZALEX® (daratumumab)-based quadruplet regimen receives positive CHMP opinion for transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma

Recommendation supported by findings from quadruplet therapy PERSEUS study with daratumumab subcutaneous (SC) formulation in the frontline setting Findings showed 60 percent reduction in risk of disease progression or death with daratumumab SC quadruplet regimen compared to current standard of care triplet regimen1

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus standard of care approved in the U.S. as first and only targeted regimen to cut risk of disease progression by more than half in second-line EGFR-mutated advanced lung cancer

Approval based on compelling safety and efficacy from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA-2 study, marking the third new indication for RYBREVANT® this year, with four indications overall

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

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus chemotherapy show 49 percent overall response rate in metastatic colorectal cancer

Median duration of response reaches 7.4 months with combination treatment in patients with aggressive form of disease New results show potential of RYBREVANT® beyond lung cancer

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus chemotherapy shows positive overall survival trend versus chemotherapy in patients with previously treated EGFR-mutated lung cancer

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

More from Johnson & Johnson

After their husbands were diagnosed with multiple myeloma, these 3 care partners became health equity activists

Kimberly Alexander, Michelle Ware-Ivy and Marsha Calloway-Campbell learned firsthand that Black individuals develop multiple myeloma at higher rates. That’s why they joined Johnson & Johnson’s That’s My Word® health equity campaign, which builds awareness about the disparities surrounding this rare blood cancer.

Reconnecting the meaning of these two simple words: Health&Care

Johnson & Johnson is restoring the true meaning of healthcare by developing advanced treatments and smarter and less invasive solutions for today’s most complex diseases.

Getting in front of cancer

Every year, roughly 2 million people in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with cancer. But a number of scientific breakthroughs—including ones made at Johnson & Johnson—have dramatically changed what kind of prognosis many of these patients will have.
