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

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

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

Largest head-to-head real-world study in mCSPC demonstrated that ERLEADA® reduced risk of death by 23 percent at 24 months compared to enzalutamide

Results from CEPHEUS study highlight DARZALEX FASPRO® quadruplet regimen as a potential standard of care in newly diagnosed patients regardless of transplant eligibility New indication would be the first FDA-approved treatment regimen for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma based on a study with MRD-negativity as the primary endpoint

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced an investment of more than $2 billion to build a state-of-the-art biologics manufacturing facility in Wilson, North Carolina. The new facility will expand production of the Company’s portfolio and pipeline of innovative biologics in support of Johnson & Johnson’s broader plan to advance more than 70 novel therapy and product expansion filings and launches by the end of the decade.

45 percent reduction in risk of death achieved with CARVYKTI® after three-year follow-up in landmark CARTITUDE-4 study Data featured in a late-breaking oral presentation at the 2024 International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting

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

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

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

Data from the investigational Phase 1b RedirecTT-1 study demonstrate a safety profile consistent to TALVEY® and TECVAYLI® monotherapies
