Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study results showed sustained, durable complete responses beyond one year with intravesical gemcitabine delivery system
First Results with Erdafitinib-Releasing Intravesical Delivery System (TAR-210) Show Early Evidence of Positive Clinical Activity in Patients with Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer with Select Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Alterations
Investigational TAR-210 first-in-human results highlight the potential for local sustained release of erdafitinib with a novel intravesical delivery system Phase 1 results show a manageable safety profile with limited systemic toxicity, and early complete responses in patients with high-risk and intermediate-risk NMIBC
Final Multivariate Analysis from the Phase 3 MAGNITUDE Study Shows Trend Toward Improvement in Overall Survival in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer with BRCA Alterations Treated with Niraparib and Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone
Niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone combination therapy also showed clinically relevant improvement versus standard of care in time to symptomatic progression and time to cytotoxic chemotherapy
New Data from Phase 3 PAPILLON Study Show RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) Plus Chemotherapy Resulted in 60 Percent Reduction in Risk of Disease Progression or Death in Patients with Previously Untreated EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutation-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Data show the potential impact of RYBREVANT® and chemotherapy combination as first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations Late-breaking data presented in a Presidential Symposium at 2023 ESMO Congress and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine
Results from Phase 2 THOR-2 Study Show Improved Rates of Recurrence-Free Survival in Patients with High-Risk Non-Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer with Select Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Alterations Treated with BALVERSA® (erdafitinib) Versus Chemotherapy
Data from Cohort 1 of the Phase 2 THOR-2 study showed oral erdafitinib reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death compared with intravesical standard-of-care chemotherapy
Janssen Aims to Define New Standards of Care in the Treatment of Solid Tumor Cancers with Transformative Data Planned for Presentation at ESMO
Three Phase 3 RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) studies (MARIPOSA, MARIPOSA-2 and PAPILLON) in EGFR-mutated lung cancer achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful progression-free survival endpoints and will be presented in Presidential Symposium sessions New results for investigational TAR-200 and TAR-210 novel intravesical delivery system highlight potential for transformational outcomes in the treatment of bladder cancer
