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

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

Johnson & Johnson submits applications in the U.S. and EU seeking approval of DARZALEX FASPRO® / DARZALEX® as subcutaneous monotherapy for high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma

If approved, DARZALEX FASPRO® will become the first treatment option for patients with smoldering multiple myeloma at high-risk of developing multiple myeloma, offering a novel approach to treat before the onset of active disease and the occurrence of end organ damage

DARZALEX® (daratumumab)-SC based quadruplet regimen approved by the European Commission for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant-eligible

Phase 3 PERSEUS study of daratumumab subcutaneous (SC) formulation in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone induction and consolidation, followed by daratumumab SC and lenalidomide maintenance showed a 58 percent reduction in risk of disease progression or death1 New regimen reinforces daratumumab SC as a foundational element for optimising frontline treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, and significantly delaying disease progression2

Johnson & Johnson submits application to the European Medicines Agency for DARZALEX® (daratumumab) SC-based quadruplet regimen for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients

Submission supported by data from the Phase 3 CEPHEUS study for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma for whom transplant is not planned as initial therapy.1 Data showed that the daratumumab subcutaneous formulation-based quadruplet regimen significantly improved minimal residual disease (MRD)-negativity and reduced the risk of progression or death compared to standard of care regimen.1

ERLEADA® (apalutamide) demonstrates statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival compared to enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
