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
European Commission approves RYBREVANT®▼ (amivantamab) in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer after failure of prior therapy
Patients with EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations, the most common EGFR mutations in NSCLC, have until now faced a poor prognosis and limited treatment options after disease progression on an EGFR TKI1,2,3,4 Amivantamab in combination with chemotherapy is the first treatment regimen to show significant improvement in progression-free survival compared to chemotherapy alone in this patient population5
Johnson & Johnson is transforming solid tumor cancer outcomes with new data at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer and European Society for Medical Oncology Congress
Four RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) studies feature compelling new findings in lung and colorectal cancers New TAR-200 data reveal the potential of organ-sparing therapy for the treatment of bladder cancer
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
