RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus lazertinib is the only chemotherapy-free regimen showing longer progression-free survival versus osimertinib in first-line treatment of patients with high-risk EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer

Investigational chemotherapy-free regimen of RYBREVANT® plus lazertinib addresses a significant unmet need as most patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC have high-risk disease Landmark Phase 3 MARIPOSA data featured in an oral presentation at ASCO

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
