Johnson & Johnson's RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) receives U.S. FDA Priority Review as potential first-in-class EGFR- and MET-targeted subcutaneous treatment for advanced head and neck cancerJuly 30, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US) Priority Review reinforces the significant potential of subcutaneous amivantamab in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer, where the current five-year survival rate is only 15 percent Patients achieved rapid, deep and durable responses, including a 42 percent overall response rate with one-third achieving a complete response Subcutaneous amivantamab is the only therapy in head and neck cancer engineered to target both EGFR and MET, proven drivers of tumor growth and treatment resistance RARITAN, N.J., July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Priority Review to the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for subcutaneous amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj for adults with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). If approved, it would provide a new treatment for patients whose disease has progressed following platinum-based chemotherapy and a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor. Priority Review is granted to medicines that may offer significant improvements in safety or effectiveness for serious conditions and shortens the FDA review timeline to approximately six months.1 "One of the hardest things about advanced head and neck cancer is that it can impact our most basic functions, like the ability to speak, eat, and even breathe easily, profoundly affecting patients' daily lives. For those whose disease progresses despite prior treatment, that burden is compounded by limited treatment options and poor outcomes," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "Building on the established role of subcutaneous amivantamab in lung cancer, this milestone underscores its continued potential across multiple tumor types and reflects our commitment to bringing innovative treatment options to patients with cancers driven by EGFR and MET pathways."Subcutaneous amivantamab was designed to target both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) while engaging the immune system, offering a differentiated scientific approach in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.2 Overexpression of EGFR and MET receptors is seen in 80 to 90 percent of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumors and has been implicated in tumor progression and treatment resistance.3Priority Review supported by pivotal resultsThe FDA's decision to grant Priority Review is supported by results from the pivotal Phase 1b/2 OrigAMI-4 study, which showed that 42 percent of patients responded to treatment with monotherapy subcutaneous amivantamab, with more than one-third of responders achieving a complete response. The study excluded patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), as well as those who had received prior anti-EGFR therapy. The findings were presented at the 2026 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and published simultaneously in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.4,5RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is approved in more than 40 countries, including the United States, Europe, and Japan, as a subcutaneous treatment for non-small cell lung cancer and continues to be evaluated in additional tumor types as part of Johnson & Johnson's broader commitment to advancing transformational oncology therapies.About the OrigAMI-4 StudyOrigAMI-4 (NCT06385080) is an open-label Phase 1b/2 study evaluating RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). The study includes six cohorts exploring RYBREVANT FASPRO™ across different treatment settings and regimens.Cohort 1 evaluated RYBREVANT FASPRO™ as monotherapy in patients with R/M HNSCC who had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were excluded, as well as those with prior anti-EGFR therapy.RYBREVANT FASPRO™ was administered on a weekly schedule during the initial treatment period followed by dosing every three weeks (Q3W), with weight-based dosing adjustments. The primary endpoint across cohorts is overall response rate (ORR), as assessed by investigators, using RECIST v1.1.† 6About Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common form of head and neck cancer, a group of cancers that arise in the mouth, throat, voice box, sinuses, nasal cavity, and salivary glands.7 It represents approximately 4.5 percent of all cancers worldwide and is the seventh most common cancer globally.7 Major risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, as well as infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV).7 Approximately 80 percent of recurrent or metastatic HNSCC are not driven by HPV, and are typically associated with poorer prognosis and reduced response to treatment.7,8,9 Despite advances in surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, many patients ultimately progress to advanced recurrent or metastatic disease.10,11About RYBREVANT FASPRO™ and RYBREVANT®RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) received U.S. FDA approval in December 2025 and is approved in multiple markets worldwide for the treatment of adults with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including those with exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, and exon 20 insertion mutations. It is the only subcutaneous therapy approved for these EGFR-mutated NSCLC populations and may be used as monotherapy or in combination with LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) or chemotherapy, depending on the specific mutation and treatment setting. For eligible patients, RYBREVANT FASPRO™ offers a once-monthly dosing option following initial weekly dosing. RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20), Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology.RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is approved in the U.S. for the same indications as intravenous RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) across multiple markets. RYBREVANT® is a first-in-class, fully human bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, designed to inhibit tumor growth while engaging the immune system.The effectiveness of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is supported by the established clinical profile of RYBREVANT®, including data from multiple Phase 3 studies such as MARIPOSA, which demonstrated improvements in progression-free and overall survival when used in combination with LAZCLUZE® in first-line advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®)‡ 12 include amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) across its FDA-approved treatment settings, including as a Category 1 preferred option in combination with lazertinib (LAZCLUZE®) for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Subcutaneous amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj (RYBREVANT FASPRO™) may be substituted for IV amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) where appropriate. See the latest NCCN Guidelines® for NSCLC for complete information.§ ||The NCCN Guidelines for Central Nervous System Cancers also include amivantamab (RYBREVANT®)-based regimens, including in combination with lazertinib (LAZCLUZE®), as the only NCCN-preferred combination options for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and brain metastases.§ ||Beyond NSCLC, RYBREVANT-based therapies are being investigated across other solid tumors, including head and neck and colorectal cancers.The legal manufacturer for RYBREVANT FASPRO™ and RYBREVANT® is Janssen Biotech, Inc.

Johnson & Johnson Announces a Proposed Resolution of Ovarian Talc LitigationJuly 27, 2026 6:31 PM
Business Wire Follows Favorable Multi-District Litigation Court Causation Ruling and the Company’s Successful Strategy to Defend Each Case Efficient Conclusion to the Talc Litigation that Eliminates Expense Associated with Litigating Remaining Roughly 76,000 Ovarian Talc Claims Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) (the "Company") today announced that it has reached an agreement for a comprehensive resolution of the remaining talc litigation with the plaintiff firms leading the federal Multi-District Litigation (MDL) and related state court proceedings, conditioned on, among other things, the express participation of at least 95% of the remaining claims. The proposed resolution follows a favorable ruling by the MDL court, and acknowledgment by plaintiffs’ counsel, regarding plaintiffs’ inability to prove that the Company’s talc products caused any particular claimant’s ovarian cancer (“specific causation”). “After decades of litigation and full vetting of the science in an extensive hearing, plaintiffs effectively conceded their inability to prove specific causation by withdrawing their experts on the topic in two bellwether cases. In a watershed moment, the Court thereafter ordered plaintiffs to show why the remaining claims should not be dismissed, confirming what we have maintained for years: that these claims lack scientific merit and were sustained only by unreliable expert opinions that could not survive rigorous judicial review," said Erik Haas, Worldwide Vice President of Litigation, Johnson & Johnson. "The Court’s order placed plaintiffs in an untenable position of having to present specific causation evidence to maintain their claims that does not exist. While we are confident the Company would have ultimately prevailed with further litigation, as it has in the vast majority of cases tried to date, this resolution allows the Company to put this matter behind it and remain focused on its mission to develop medicines and devices that save lives." The MDL Court’s recent specific causation ruling confirmed the Company's longstanding position that these claims lack scientific merit. The Company has prevailed in the overwhelming majority of ovarian cases tried to date. On July 22, 2026, the MDL court ordered plaintiffs to show why the remaining pending talc claims should not be dismissed for inability to prove specific causation. The order followed plaintiffs’ withdrawal of their specific causation experts in two bellwether cases, after a hearing that demonstrated their opinions were not based upon reliable scientific methodologies. The developments affirmed the Company’s longstanding position that the talc claims are premised on junk science that has been rejected for decades by United States scientific organizations and regulatory agencies, as well as independent experts. The proposed resolution constitutes an efficient conclusion to the talc litigation. The resolution: Requires and is conditioned on—among other criteria—the participation of lead plaintiff firms in all ovarian talc litigation pending in state and federal court, representing at least 95% of the remaining claims. Calls for per claim payments, with a $5.5 billion commitment by the Company and the first payment of no more than $3 billion to be made in 2027 and no additional payments due before 2028. Complements the progress the Company already has made to resolve the talc litigation, including previously settling about 95% of filed mesothelioma lawsuits, all State consumer protection claims, and all talc-supplier disputes. Brings finality to this meritless 15-year litigation. Studies show talc is safe, does not contain asbestos and does not cause cancer. Research, clinical evidence, and decades of studies by independent medical experts around the world continue to support the safety of cosmetic talc. Prior to its separation, Johnson & Johnson agreed to retain all the talc-related liabilities and indemnify Kenvue for any and all costs—arising from litigation in the United States and Canada. As part of a worldwide portfolio assessment, Johnson & Johnson made the commercial decision to discontinue talc-based JOHNSON’S® Baby Powder globally in 2023. Additionally, Johnson & Johnson separated its consumer health business, Kenvue, in August 2023. Additional information on the Company's position and the science supporting the safety of talc is available at www.FactsAboutTalc.com.

PR Newswire (US) Investigational MonumenTAL-6 trial is the first and only Phase 3 study of a dual antigen, BCMA and GPRC5D targeting regimen in relapsed/refractory multiple myelomaFifth positive Phase 3 study evaluating Johnson & Johnson's multiple myeloma T-cell therapy portfolio in second line, further strengthening the company's leadership and commitment to advancing immunotherapy-based regimens earlier in the treatment journeyRARITAN, N.J., July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), a worldwide leader in multiple myeloma therapies, today announced positive topline results from the three-arm investigational Phase 3 MonumenTAL-6 study evaluating TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) + TALVEY® (talquetamab-tgvs), a BCMA and GPRC5D dual antigen targeting regimen, and TALVEY® + pomalidomide in adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received 1 to 4 prior lines of therapy, including an anti-CD38 antibody and lenalidomide.1 The study demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in progression-free survival and overall survival for both investigational arms compared with investigator's choice standard of care. TECVAYLI® + TALVEY® delivered the greatest benefit, reducing the risk of disease progression or death by 89% (HR, 0.11) and the risk of death by 62% (HR, 0.38).1 This represents the lowest hazard ratio seen across any Phase 3 study evaluating bispecific therapies in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.1 Expert and company perspectives reinforce the potential of TECVAYLI® + TALVEY®"These findings add to a growing body of Phase 3 evidence evaluating the survival outcomes associated with the early use of immunotherapy doublets in the treatment journey," said Ajay K. Nooka, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.P., Director, Myeloma Program, Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Emory University School of Medicine.* "TECVAYLI and TALVEY together generated deep and durable responses, demonstrating what's possible by targeting BCMA and GPRC5D at the same time, and further reinforcing the potential of this off-the-shelf regimen to improve outcomes for patients across practice settings." "At Johnson & Johnson, we have intentionally built a multiple myeloma portfolio that spans biological targets, mechanisms, modalities and lines of therapy, giving physicians the flexibility to use our therapies across a diverse patient population and throughout the patient journey," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "These findings further reinforce immunotherapy as a cornerstone of multiple myeloma care and strengthen the growing body of evidence supporting our leadership in this space. By continuing to expand treatment options across the disease continuum, we are moving closer to our ambition of one day curing this disease." Topline results from the Phase 3 MonumenTAL-6 study The MonumenTAL-6 study evaluated TECVAYLI® in combination with TALVEY® (Tec-Tal) or TALVEY® with pomalidomide (Tal-P) compared to the investigator's choice of either elotuzumab, pomalidomide, and dexamethasone (EPd) or pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (PVd) in participants with RRMM who have received at least one line of therapy, including an anti-CD38 antibody and lenalidomide.1 Both the Tec-Tal and Tal-P regimens met the study's primary endpoint of PFS, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements versus standard of care.1 Risk of progression or death was reduced in the Tec-Tal arm by 89% (hazard ratio [HR], 0.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.16; p

Innovative Medicine Innovative Medicine worldwide operational sales grew 6.8%*, with divestitures negatively impacting growth by 10 basis points. Growth was primarily driven by DARZALEX, CARVYKTI, TECVAYLI and RYBREVANT/LAZCLUZE in Oncology, TREMFYA and Other Immunology in Immunology, and SPRAVATO and CAPLYTA in Neuroscience. Growth was partially offset by STELARA (an approximate 760 basis points impact) and REMICADE in Immunology, as well as IMBRUVICA and ZYTIGA in Oncology. MedTech MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 3.6%*, with net acquisitions and divestitures negatively impacting growth by 10 basis points. Growth was primarily driven by wound closure products and biosurgery products in Surgery, electrophysiology products and Shockwave in Cardiovascular, contact lenses in Vision, and trauma in Orthopaedics. Full-year 2026 guidance: Johnson & Johnson does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Johnson & Johnson's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

The program is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2029 with estimated costs between $650 - $750 million, and include site and supplier exit costs, decommissioning and asset impairment costs. Restructuring expenses of $200 million, primarily related to asset impairments, were recorded in the fiscal second quarter of 2026.   In fiscal 2025, the Company initiated a restructuring program of its Surgery franchise within the MedTech segment to simplify and focus operations by exiting certain non-strategic product lines and optimize select sites across the network. Restructuring expenses of $59 million were recorded in the fiscal second quarter of 2026 ($114 million Q2 2026 YTD) and $29 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2025 ($29 million Q2 2025 YTD) and primarily include costs related to product exits. This program is expected to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2026.   In fiscal 2023, the Company initiated a restructuring program of its Orthopaedics franchise within the MedTech segment to streamline operations by exiting certain markets, product lines and distribution network arrangements. The restructuring expenses of $17 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2026 ($24 million Q2 2026 YTD) and $50 million in the fiscal second quarter of 2025 ($105 million Q2 2025 YTD) includes costs related to market and product exits.

Wall Street Set for Softer Open as Oil Spike and Middle East Tensions Weigh on Sentiment: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, FuturesJuly 13, 2026 9:22 AM
IH Market News Futures Point Lower Ahead of Monday’s Session U.S. stock futures indicated a weaker start to Monday’s trading, with investors expected to take some profits after last week’s strong gains as geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices weighed on market sentiment. The latest pressure comes after renewed military exchanges between the United States and Iran intensified concerns about global energy supplies and broader economic risks. Oil Prices Jump Following Fresh Military Action Crude oil prices surged after the U.S. Central Command confirmed it had carried out another round of precision strikes against multiple Iranian targets on Sunday. Iran responded with attacks targeting several Gulf nations, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman, adding further strain to an already fragile ceasefire. Conflicting statements from Washington and Tehran over the operational status of the Strait of Hormuz also fuelled uncertainty, helping push U.S. crude futures more than 4% higher. Chip Stocks Add Pressure Technology shares were also expected to face headwinds after a sharp decline in SK Hynix (USOTC:HXSCL). The South Korean memory chipmaker’s U.S.-listed shares dropped more than 9% in premarket trading after soaring more than 13% during their Nasdaq debut last Friday, creating fresh pressure across the semiconductor sector. Investors Await Key Economic Data and Earnings Despite the cautious tone, investors may avoid making aggressive moves before several important catalysts later this week. Major U.S. banks including Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) are scheduled to report quarterly earnings, alongside Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). Market participants are also awaiting fresh U.S. inflation data, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision. Daniela Hathorn, Senior Market Analyst at Capital.com, said, “Following stronger inflation readings earlier this year and a resilient labour market, investors are keen to determine whether underlying price pressures remain persistent despite the recent fall in energy prices.” She added, “A hotter-than-expected reading would reinforce the higher-for-longer narrative and could add further support to the dollar and bond yields. Conversely, a softer report would help offset some of the inflation concerns stemming from renewed geopolitical tensions and could provide equities with a much-needed boost.” Strong Finish to Last Week Wall Street ended Friday on a positive note despite a subdued trading session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 149.60 points, or 0.3%, to 52,637.01. The Nasdaq Composite gained 74.72 points, or 0.3%, to finish at 26,281.61, while the S&P 500 advanced 31.75 points, or 0.4%, to 7,575.39. For the week, the Nasdaq climbed 1.7%, the S&P 500 added 1.2% and the Dow advanced 0.5%. Technology stocks helped lead those gains, with Meta Platforms (META) rising 6% after Bank of America reaffirmed its Buy rating, while Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) gained 4%. U.S.-listed shares of SK Hynix also surged 13.1% during their first day of trading. Sector Performance Was Mixed Biotechnology companies underperformed on Friday, pulling the NYSE Arca Biotechnology Index down 2.6%. Airline stocks also came under pressure, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index declining 2.2%. In contrast, housing stocks outperformed, lifting the Philadelphia Housing Sector Index 1.5%, while oil service companies gained ground, with the Philadelphia Oil Service Index rising 1.4%.

U.S. Futures Drift as Investors Await Earnings Season and Inflation Data: Dow Jones, S&P, NasdaqJuly 10, 2026 9:31 AM
IH Market News U.S. stock futures traded little changed on Friday as investors paused after Thursday’s technology-led rally, shifting their attention toward next week’s corporate earnings reports and key inflation releases. With few major economic reports scheduled before the weekend, market participants appeared reluctant to establish significant new positions, instead focusing on the outlook for corporate profits and monetary policy. Earnings Season Moves Into Focus The second-quarter reporting season is set to begin in earnest next week, with several of the largest U.S. financial institutions due to release results. Among the companies scheduled to report are Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) and Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX). Daniela Hathorn, Senior Market Analyst at Capital.com, believes investors will pay close attention to the quality of corporate earnings rather than headline numbers alone. “Investors will be looking for confirmation that AI-related investment continues to translate into robust earnings growth and resilient margins, particularly among the large technology companies that have driven much of this year’s rally,” she said. She added, “With valuations still elevated, earnings guidance could prove just as important as the headline results themselves.” Technology Stocks Extend Their Momentum Wall Street finished Thursday with solid gains, led once again by technology shares. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.3% to close at 26,206.89, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.8% to 7,543.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.3%, ending the session at 52,487.41. Investor sentiment received support from reports that the U.S. listing of South Korean memory-chip maker SK Hynix (USOTC:HXSCL) attracted exceptionally strong demand ahead of its market debut. Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) also outperformed after announcing plans to invest as much as $3 billion to expand semiconductor manufacturing capacity and strengthen the U.S. chip supply chain. Oil Pullback Eases Inflation Concerns A decline in crude oil prices also improved market sentiment. U.S. oil futures retreated by more than 2% after posting strong gains during the previous two sessions, as traders judged that recent military exchanges between the United States and Iran were unlikely to develop into a broader regional conflict. President Donald Trump said Iran wants to “make a deal so badly,” while warning that further attacks on commercial shipping would prompt a stronger U.S. response. The comments followed additional U.S. military operations targeting Iranian assets and reports of retaliatory strikes against Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar. Hardware and Gold Stocks Lead Sector Performance Technology remained one of the market’s strongest-performing sectors, with computer hardware and semiconductor companies posting notable gains. Gold mining shares also advanced as bullion prices recovered from recent weakness. By contrast, energy stocks lagged the broader market after the retreat in oil prices reduced support for the sector.

Johnson & Johnson presents new IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) data at European Academy of Neurology (EAN) 2026 Congress reinforcing sustained disease control in generalized myasthenia gravisJune 26, 2026 12:35 PM
PR Newswire (US) New analyses from the Phase 3 Vivacity-MG3 study support the impact of IMAAVY in anti-AChR+a, anti-MuSK+b adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) including those early in their disease, participants with lower symptom burden and those who experienced common infectionsTo address an important evidence gap, the PETUNIAc study design will be presented – demonstrating the innovative way pregnancy outcomes data will be collected following treatment with IMAAVY IMAAVY, an immunoselective neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker, is designed to target and reduce pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies associated with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)GENEVA, June 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced new data across 12 abstracts at the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) 2026 Congress that offer additional insight into the use of IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) throughout clinically relevant points in the generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) treatment journey. The analyses include adults with anti-AChRa or anti-MuSKb antibody-positive gMG who were early in their disease course or had lower baseline symptom burden – providing insight into the potential importance of addressing pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) early in disease progression where use of advanced therapies may be less common.1,2 Additional research to be shared include outcomes shortly after common infections, which are a known cause of disease exacerbations in gMG, and plans to address evidence gaps in use of IMAAVY during pregnancy.3,4 "For many people living with generalized myasthenia gravis, achieving and maintaining sustained disease control is an important goal throughout the course of their disease, from the moment they are diagnosed and across the different stages of their journey," said Carlo Antozzi, M.D., Neurological Institute Foundation C. Besta of Milan, Italy.d "These post-hoc analyses add to the growing body of evidence on IMAAVY, which is designed to selectively target and bind the neonatal Fc receptor with high affinity, and reduce pathogenic immunoglobulin G autoantibodies associated with generalized myasthenia gravis."Post-hoc analyses from the pivotal Vivacity-MG3 study in adults with antibody positive gMG (spanning anti-AChR+ and anti-MuSK+) will be presented which provide new insights that could inform clinical care including:Patients early in their disease course (within five years of diagnosis) show improved outcomes: IMAAVY plus standard of care (SOC) showed greater reductions in MG-ADLe scores versus placebo plus SOC (-4.9 vs. -2.7) at Week 24, with a greater proportion of patients receiving IMAAVY also achieving the stringent measure of sustained meaningful clinical improvement (MCI)f for ≥20 weeks compared to placebo.1,5 IMAAVY is the only FcRn blocker evaluated to demonstrate sustained MCI over this duration in the double-blind phase of its pivotal study.5,gPatients with lower baseline symptom burden sustain MCI: IMAAVY plus SOC decreased symptom severityh and improved daily functioning at Week 24 versus placebo plus SOC (MG-ADL scores of -4.5 vs. -2.3).2 A greater proportion of patients receiving IMAAVY also achieved sustained MCI in this setting, adding further insights for healthcare professionals into the use of IMAAVY in patients with less severe disease.6,iPatients maintain control after contracting common infections: In the IMAAVY arm, observed symptom improvements were maintained within two weeks after patients contracted common infections, providing data on the use of IMAAVY after periods when the likelihood of disease exacerbations is elevated.3,j,kSafety and tolerability were consistent across all patients in the study and across other nipocalimab studies.7,8,9  The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) was 84% in both the IMAAVY and the placebo arms and serious adverse events (SAEs) were 9% in the IMAAVY arm compared to 14% in the placebo arm.7,kOngoing evidence generation in gMG will also be highlighted, including:Innovative PETUNIA study design: PETUNIA is designed to generate real-world safety data on pregnancy, maternal, and infant outcomes following exposure to IMAAVY during pregnancy.4 By leveraging prospective and retrospective reports the study aims to capture more detailed information on outcomes in this setting, helping to expand the evidence base beyond the traditional post-marketing safety monitoring requirements and support clinical decision-making in an area where current evidence is limited.4,c"People living with generalized myasthenia gravis often face unpredictable symptoms that can interfere with everyday life, underscoring the need for continued innovation grounded in disease biology," said David Lee, M.D., Ph.D., Global Immunology Therapeutic Area Head, Johnson & Johnson. "At Johnson & Johnson, we are committed to advancing research in autoantibody diseases to better understand the role of IMAAVY, an FcRn blocker designed to help address the underlying cause of generalized myasthenia gravis, while preserving humoral immune function. We are continuing to explore the potential of IMAAVY in supporting sustained disease control across key moments in patients' lives."The full list of accepted Johnson & Johnson abstracts can be found HERE.IMAAVY is approved for adult and pediatric patients (12 years of age and older) with anti-AChR or anti-MuSK antibody positive gMG by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).10,11Editor's Notes:

Johnson & Johnson Reports Strong Late-Stage Results for Rare Blood Disorder Therapy (JNJ)June 11, 2026 8:40 AM
IH Market News Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has announced positive findings from its Phase 2/3 ENERGY clinical trial, with IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu) demonstrating statistically significant improvements in hemoglobin levels among patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia compared with placebo. The results provide further support for the therapy as the company seeks regulatory approval for a condition that currently has no FDA-approved treatment options. Trial Meets Primary Endpoint The randomized, placebo-controlled study showed that patients receiving the 30 mg/kg dose of IMAAVY achieved sustained hemoglobin improvements at roughly three times the rate observed in the placebo group after 24 weeks of treatment. Patients treated with the therapy also experienced an average hemoglobin increase of at least 1 g/dL as early as the first week of treatment. The trial’s primary endpoint focused on durable hemoglobin improvement, defined as an increase of at least 2 g/dL from baseline and a hemoglobin concentration of at least 10 g/dL across three visits over a 28-day period beginning by Week 16, without the need for rescue therapy or adjustments to background medications. Significant Improvement in Patient Outcomes According to the study results, nearly two-thirds of patients receiving the 30 mg/kg dose achieved both a hemoglobin level of at least 10 g/dL and an increase of at least 2 g/dL from baseline by Week 24. Beyond improvements in hemoglobin levels, the treatment was also associated with reduced fatigue and lower reliance on steroid therapy, both important measures for patients living with the disease. The findings suggest that IMAAVY could provide meaningful clinical benefits for individuals affected by the rare autoimmune condition. Safety Profile Remains Consistent Johnson & Johnson reported that IMAAVY’s safety profile in the study was consistent with its approved use in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis. Among patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, the most frequently reported adverse events were peripheral edema, diarrhea and fever, each occurring in at least 10% of treated participants. The company indicated that no new safety concerns were identified during the trial. Regulatory Review Underway Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease in which the immune system destroys red blood cells, leading to anemia and other serious complications. Currently, there are no FDA-approved therapies specifically indicated for the condition. Johnson & Johnson has already submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application for IMAAVY, and the treatment has been granted Priority Review status by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Data Presented at Major Hematology Conference The results from the ENERGY study were presented at the European Hematology Association 2026 Congress, according to the company. The positive data strengthen Johnson & Johnson’s position in rare disease treatment and could support the expansion of IMAAVY into an additional therapeutic indication if regulatory approval is secured.

Johnson & Johnson Expands U.S. Availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL, an Advanced Lens Option for Cataract Surgeons and PatientsJune 11, 2026 7:45 AM
Business Wire Expanded U.S. availability paired with new patient lifestyle quiz encourages informed decision-making ahead of cataract surgery. Cataracts are one of the leading causes of vision impairment.1 Nearly 20% of Americans aged 40+ live with cataracts that make everyday tasks more challenging, yet only 5% have had cataract surgery.2 Over half a million eyes worldwide have already experienced clearer, extended range of vision with TECNIS PureSee IOL after cataract surgery.3,4 97% of patients would recommend TECNIS PureSee IOL to friends or family.5 Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is expanding the U.S. roll-out of its latest advancement in presbyopia-correcting intraocular lenses (PC-IOLs). TECNIS PureSee IOL is an extended depth of focus (EDOF) lens designed to support visual clarity and quality for patients undergoing cataract surgery.3 This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260611210092/en/ Benefits of TECNIS PureSee IOL: Range of vision: Excellent distance and intermediate vision with some near vision3* Low level of bothersome visual symptoms: 97% of patients reported no very bothersome visual disturbances3 Vibrant vision: Excellent vision, day and night3 “With the full U.S. availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL, we are expanding access to an important extended depth of focus option that reflects our commitment to innovation, visual quality, and patient satisfaction,”3 said Erin Powers, President, Surgical Vision, North America, Johnson & Johnson. “Patients today want vision solutions that support how they live their lives every day. TECNIS PureSee IOL builds on the trusted TECNIS platform to help meet those expectations while giving surgeons greater flexibility to personalize care.” The expanded U.S. availability of TECNIS PureSee IOL comes during Cataract Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about this common and preventable cause of vision loss. Cataract surgery is one of the most common and safe procedures in the U.S., with a success rate of nearly 98%.6 In a single procedure, TECNIS PureSee IOL addresses both cataract-related vision loss and the effects of presbyopia,3 which occurs when your eyes gradually lose the ability to see objects clearly up close.7 Nearly everyone will get presbyopia by the age of 50.8 TECNIS PureSee IOL is the first and only U.S. FDA-approved extended depth of focus (EDOF) IOL with no warning on loss of contrast sensitivity.3** Contrast sensitivity refers to a patient’s ability to distinguish an object from its background, an important part of visual quality, especially in low-light or foggy conditions. Aspheric monofocal IOLs are widely considered the benchmark for preserving contrast sensitivity. By maintaining contrast sensitivity comparable to an aspheric monofocal IOL, TECNIS PureSee IOL helps patients experience the visual clarity and confidence they expect, while also benefiting from an extended range of vision.3 “I was an investigator with the TECNIS PureSee IOL, so I have firsthand experience with this lens, and I’m excited to have this option in my practice for patients,” said Daniel Chang, MD, Cataract and Refractive Surgeon, Empire Eye & Laser Center.^ “This is the first presbyopia-correcting lens I’ve seen that has similar, if not in some cases even fewer, night vision symptoms than a monofocal lens.3 This is a very exciting time for the TECNIS platform. I think TECNIS PureSee IOL is going to be a landmark advancement.” New patient lifestyle quiz To further support patient education during Cataract Awareness Month, Johnson & Johnson is encouraging individuals to take a new patient lifestyle quiz designed to help them reflect on their daily activities, vision needs, and goals ahead of cataract surgery. Patients can use the quiz as a starting point for informed conversations with their eye care professional about which TECNIS IOL, including the TECNIS PureSee IOL, may be right for them.

INDICATIONS and IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for TECNIS PureSee™ IOL and TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs with TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System Rx Only INDICATIONS FOR USE The TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist in inserting the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL, which is indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia in adult patients with less than 1 diopter of pre-existing corneal astigmatism in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The lens mitigates the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the TECNIS PureSee™ IOL provides improved intermediate visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. The lens is intended for capsular bag placement only. The TECNIS SIMPLICITY™ Delivery System is used to fold and assist in inserting the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs, which are indicated for primary implantation for the visual correction of aphakia and for reduction of refractive astigmatism in adult patients with greater than or equal to 1 diopter of preoperative corneal astigmatism in whom a cataractous lens has been removed. The lenses mitigate the effects of presbyopia by providing an extended depth of focus. Compared to an aspheric monofocal IOL, the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs provide improved intermediate visual acuity, while maintaining comparable distance visual acuity. The lenses are intended for capsular bag placement only. WARNINGS Physicians should weigh the potential benefit/risk ratio of IOL implantation in patients with any of the conditions listed below, as intraocular lenses may exacerbate an existing condition or may pose an unreasonable risk to the eyesight of patients. The following conditions are not specific to the design of the IOL and are attributed to cataract surgery and/or IOL implantation in general: Recurrent severe anterior or posterior segment inflammation of unknown etiology Posterior segment diseases of which monitoring or treatment ability may be limited by an intraocular lens Surgical difficulties at the time of cataract extraction and/or intraocular lens implantation that might increase the potential for complications (e.g., persistent bleeding, significant iris damage, uncontrolled positive pressure, or significant vitreous prolapse or loss) Compromised posterior capsule or zonules due to previous trauma or developmental defect in which appropriate support of the IOL is not possible Risk of damage to the endothelium during implantation Suspected microbial infection Congenital bilateral cataracts Previous history of, or a predisposition to, retinal detachment Potentially good vision in only one eye Medically uncontrollable glaucoma Corneal endothelial dystrophy Proliferative diabetic retinopathy Rotation of the toric lens away from its intended axis can reduce its astigmatic correction. Misalignment greater than 30° may increase postoperative refractive cylinder. If necessary, lens repositioning should occur as early as possible prior to lens encapsulation. Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or alter the delivery system or any of its components, as this can significantly affect the function and/or structural integrity of the design. Do not use if the cartridge of the delivery system is cracked or split prior to implantation. Do not implant the lens if the rod tip does not advance the lens or if it is jammed in the delivery system. Do not stop, reverse or advance the plunger too slowly (for example more than 1 second) during initial lens advancement. Doing so may result in improper folding of the lens. Do not advance the lens from the Holding Position prior to fully hydrating the system. A minimum of 1 minute at the Holding Position is required to fully hydrate the system to prevent sticking and a potential scratch or crack to the lens. Do not advance the lens from the Holding Position until ready for implantation. Interruptions during delivery may result in the lens being scratched or cracked or stuck in the cartridge. Discard the device if the lens has been advanced past the Holding Position but not delivered within 60 seconds. The lens and delivery system should be discarded if the lens has been folded within the cartridge for more than 10 minutes. Not doing so may result in the lens being stuck in the cartridge. Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc., single-use medical devices are labeled with instructions for use and handling to minimize exposure to conditions which may compromise the product, patient, or the user. When used according to the directions for use, the delivery system minimizes the risk of infection and/or inflammation associated with contamination. The reuse/resterilization/reprocessing of Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc. single-use medical devices may result in physical damage to the medical device, failure of the medical device to perform as intended, and patient contamination, transmission of infection, and lack of product sterility. PRECAUTIONS Prior to surgery, the surgeon must inform prospective patients of the possible risks and benefits associated with the use of this device and provide a copy of the patient information brochure to the patient. Autorefractors may not provide optimal postoperative refraction of patients with the IOL. Manual refraction with maximum plus technique is strongly recommended. This is a single-use device. Do not resterilize the lens or the delivery system. Most sterilizers are not equipped to sterilize the soft acrylic material of the IOL and the preloaded inserter material without producing undesirable side effects. Do not store the device in direct sunlight or at a temperature under 41°F (5°C) or over 95°F (35°C). Do not autoclave the delivery system. The contents are sterile unless the package is opened or damaged. Do not use if the delivery system has been dropped or if any part was inadvertently struck while outside the shipping box. The sterility of the delivery system and/or the lens may have been compromised. The recommended temperature for implanting the lens is at least 63°F (17°C). Do not advance the lens unless ready for lens implantation. Do not leave the lens in a folded position more than 10 minutes. When the delivery system is used improperly, the lens may not be delivered properly (i.e., haptics may be broken). Please refer to the specific Directions For Use section provided. The use of balanced salt solution or ophthalmic viscosurgical devices (OVDs) is required when using the delivery system. For optimal performance when using OVD, use the HEALON™ family of OVDs. The use of balanced salt solution with additives has not been studied for this product. The lens should be placed entirely in the capsular bag. The lens should not be placed in the ciliary sulcus. Carefully remove all viscoelastic and do not over-inflate the capsular bag at the end of the case. Residual viscoelastic and/or over-inflation of the capsular bag may allow the lens to rotate, causing misalignment of the toric lens with the intended axis of placement. Do not reuse. Recent contact lens usage may affect the patient’s refraction; therefore, in contact lens wearers, surgeons should establish corneal stability without contact lenses prior to determining IOL power. The IOL is designed for optimum visual performance when emmetropia is targeted. The TECNIS™ Toric IOL Calculator includes a feature that accounts for posterior corneal astigmatism (PCA). The PCA is based on an algorithm that combines published literature (Koch, et al., 2012) and a retrospective analysis of data from a TECNIS™ Toric multi-center clinical study. The PCA algorithm for the selection of appropriate cylinder power and axis of implantation was not assessed in the prospective TECNIS™ Toric IOL U.S. IDE study and may yield results different from those in the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOL labeling. Please refer to the TECNIS™ Toric IOL Calculator user manual for more information. The use of methods other than the TECNIS™ Toric IOL Calculator to select cylinder power and appropriate axis of implantation were not assessed in the TECNIS™ Toric IOL U.S. IDE study and may not yield similar results. Accurate keratometry and biometry, in addition to the use of the TECNIS™ Toric IOL Calculator (www.TecnisToricCalc.com) are recommended to achieve optimal visual outcomes for the TECNIS PureSee™ Toric II IOLs. All preoperative surgical parameters are important when choosing a toric lens for implantation, including preoperative keratometric cylinder (magnitude and axis), incision location, the surgeon’s estimated surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and biometry. Variability in any of the preoperative measurements can influence patient outcomes and the effectiveness of treating eyes with lower amounts of preoperative corneal astigmatism. The effectiveness of the toric lens in reducing postoperative residual astigmatism in patients with preoperative corneal astigmatism less than 1.0 diopter has not been demonstrated. All corneal incisions were placed temporally in the TECNIS™ Toric IOL U.S. IDE study. If the surgeon chooses to place the incision at a different location, outcomes may be different from those obtained for the TECNIS™ Toric IOL. Note that the TECNIS™ Toric IOL Calculator incorporates the surgeon’s estimated SIA and incision location when providing IOL options. Children under the age of 2 years are not suitable candidates for intraocular lenses. The safety and effectiveness of the TECNIS PureSee™ IOLs have not been substantiated in pregnant women, patients under the age of 22 or those with preexisting ocular conditions and intraoperative complications, including those specified in the Warnings and Precautions. Careful preoperative evaluation and sound clinical judgment should be used by the surgeon to decide the benefit/risk ratio before implanting a lens in a patient with one or more of these conditions. Before Surgery Pupil abnormalities Prior corneal refractive or intraocular surgery Choroidal hemorrhage Chronic severe uveitis Concomitant severe eye disease Extremely shallow anterior chamber Medically uncontrolled glaucoma Microphthalmos Non-age-related cataract Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (severe) Severe corneal dystrophy Severe optic nerve atrophy Irregular corneal astigmatism Amblyopia Macular disease During Surgery Excessive vitreous loss Non-circular capsulotomy/capsulorhexis The presence of radial tears known or suspected at the time of surgery Situations in which the integrity of the circular capsulotomy/ capsulorhexis cannot be confirmed by direct visualization Cataract extraction by techniques other than phacoemulsification or liquefaction Capsular rupture Significant anterior chamber hyphema Uncontrollable positive intraocular pressure Zonular damage 24.

IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) demonstrates durable hemoglobin response and rapid onset of effect in pivotal Phase 2/3 study in warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), an autoantibody-driven disease with no FDA-approved therapiesJune 11, 2026 2:03 AM
PR Newswire (US) Patients in the IMAAVY 30 mg/kg treatment groupa achieved statistically significant durable hemoglobin responseb, with mean hemoglobin improvement of at least 1 g/dL as early as Week 1c More patients treated with IMAAVY experienced improvement in fatigued and corticosteroid dose reductionse IMAAVY is designed to target pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies in warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia while preserving immune function Pivotal results will be presented at EHA 2026 STOCKHOLM, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today is presenting the first comprehensive results from the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study showing that IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) produced a statistically significant durable hemoglobin (Hgb) responseb with rapid onset of effect in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA)e in the 30 mg/kg treatment group,a compared with those who received placebo. The randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrated approximately three times as many patients achieved durable Hgb levels versus placebo by 24 weeks. Overall, patients treated with this dose of IMAAVY showed a mean Hgb improvement of at least 1g/dL as early as Week 1.1,c  To be presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2026 Congress, these results mark an important step forward for people living with wAIHA, a rare, life-threatening condition for which patients currently have no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment options."These data from the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study showed the rapid onset of effect and durable improvement in anemia which occurs by targeting the autoantibody-mediated destruction of red blood cells in people living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia," said Bruno Fattizzo, M.D., Assistant Professor at the Department of Oncology and Hematology-Oncology, University of Milan, Italy.g "Achieving hemoglobin improvements this quickly and at this scale is important in clinical practice, as it could help improve the debilitating fatigue that people living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia experience."Key findings from the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study
The ENERGY study compared IMAAVY to placebo in achieving the primary endpoint of durable Hgb improvement, which was defined as achieving the following stringent criteria1: An increase from baseline in Hgb ≥2 g/dL Hgb concentration ≥10 g/dL For at least three visits (≥28 days, where criteria was met, starting by Week 16)Without the need for rescue therapy or changes to background medications for wAIHAIn the 30 mg/kg treatment group, a mean increase of 1 g/dL in Hgb was observed at Week 1, compared to no change in the placebo group.c In wAIHA, treatment also aims to maintain Hgb ≥10 g/dL and achieve a ≥2 g/dL increase from baseline and nearly two-thirds of patients achieved both of these targets by Week 24.IMAAVY was also associated with improvements in fatigued and reduction in steroid usef, two key secondary endpoints. Changes in patient-reported fatigue were observed as early as Week 2 and sustained throughout the 24-week treatment period.dIn the study, IMAAVY demonstrated a safety profile consistent with the established safety profile of IMAAVY in the approved indication of generalized myasthenia gravis. The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) in patients with wAIHA treated with IMAAVY were peripheral edema, diarrhea and fever.By targeting the pathogenic IgG autoantibodies that lead to red blood cell destruction in wAIHA, IMAAVY is designed to utilize a differentiated, immunoselective approach, preserving underlying key humoral immune functions in a condition where many patients currently can only rely on unapproved therapies, including corticosteroids and broad immunosuppressants.2"In the first large, placebo-controlled trial of its kind, IMAAVY delivered durable improvements in hemoglobin levels and showed no new safety signals, in a disease with no FDA-approved therapies," said Leonard L. Dragone, M.D., Ph.D., Disease Area Leader, Autoantibody and Rheumatology, Johnson & Johnson. "This immunoselective approach targets the underlying autoantibodies driving disease while preserving key immune functions, which is important for people living with this disease who frequently suffer with comorbid conditions."These data support the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for IMAAVY which has since been granted U.S. FDA Priority Review. Editor's Notes:a.  The dose submitted to the FDA for approval (30 mg/kg IV every four weeks). 
b.   Durable hemoglobin response, the primary endpoint of the Phase 2/3 ENERGY trial, is defined as hemoglobin concentration ≥10 g/dL and an increase from baseline in hemoglobin ≥2 g/dL for at least 28 days (where criteria was met starting by Week 16 of the double-blind period), without the need of rescue therapy. This endpoint was prespecified within the equal-weight hierarchical testing procedure; the resulting one-sided p-value was considered statistically significant in accordance with the predefined multiplicity control strategy.
c.   These data were not a part of the hierarchical testing procedure.
d.   Based on mean change from baseline of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) score at Week 24, a key secondary endpoint, with mean change of 3.51 points over placebo for 30 mg/kg IV treatment group (dose filed with the FDA). This endpoint was prespecified within the hierarchical testing procedure; the resulting one-sided p-value was considered nominal in accordance with the predefined multiplicity control strategy.
e.   IMAAVY is not approved for the treatment of warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
f.   Participants who achieved durable Hgb response were required to initiate corticosteroid (CS) dose tapering. Doses were reduced by 10% of the baseline CS dose every two weeks, provided Hgb levels did not decline by ≥1 g/dL. At Week 24, the mean percent reduction in CS dose was numerically higher in the nipocalimab 30 mg/kg treatment group (15% reduction from baseline dose) compared with placebo (4% reduction from baseline dose). This endpoint was prespecified within the hierarchical testing procedure.

ENERGY (NCT04119050) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of nipocalimab compared with placebo followed by an open-label extension period, in adults living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA). 115 adults were randomized approximately 1:1:1 to receive nipocalimab at two different dose schedules or placebo. Following completion of 24 weeks of double-blind treatment, patients could enter an open-label extension period to receive nipocalimab for 144 weeks with a follow-up period of 6 weeks after last assessment.3ABOUT WARM AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA (wAIHA)
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is a rare, life-threatening condition where autoantibodies attach to and destroy red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in anemia.4 Approximately 1-3 new people per 100,000 are affected by wAIHA per year, and about 1 in 8,000 individuals are living with the condition.4,5 This condition affects both women and men, and can affect people at any age with incidence increasing over the age of 50.5,6 Additionally, people with wAIHA are at increased risk of other serious complications such as venous thrombotic events, acute renal failure, and infection.7There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs indicated for wAIHA, and treatment typically consists of unapproved corticosteroids, broad immunosuppressants, and B-cell directed therapies.4 With an unmet need for treatment in wAIHA, novel therapies like nipocalimab are being developed to potentially address this need.7ABOUT IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)
IMAAVY® is an immunoselective treatment designed to target, bind with high affinity, and block the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that drive disease while also preserving key immune functions. IMAAVY is currently approved for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive.8Nipocalimab is being investigated across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rheumatologic diseases, Rare Autoantibody diseases and Maternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies, in which blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus. 3,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including: EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in October 2019 and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in April 2025U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in HDFN and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, gMG in December 2021, FNAIT in March 2024, Sjögren's disease (SjD) in March 2025, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in January 2026U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for SjD in November 2024 U.S. FDA granted Priority Review in gMG in Q4 2024 and wAIHA in Q2 2026The legal manufacturer for IMAAVY is Janssen Biotech, Inc.WHAT IS IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)?

Johnson & Johnson presents new data further reinforcing the role of nipocalimab in lowering the autoantibodies driving Sjögren's diseaseJune 3, 2026 12:03 AM
PR Newswire (US) Nipocalimab, an immunoselective neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker, is designed to target and reduce pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies associated with Sjögren's disease while preserving immune function New exploratory analysis of Phase 2 study data shows a strong correlation between autoantibody levels and even greater clinical response rates of participants in the nipocalimab treatment group Previously reported data from the Phase 2 study showed nipocalimab reduced Sjögren's disease activity and severity, with potential to address systemic manifestations and the most burdensome patient-reported symptoms including dryness, fatigue and painNipocalimab is the only FcRn blocker granted both Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe Sjögren's disease. LONDON, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced new biomarker exploratory analyses from the Phase 2 DAHLIAS study evaluating nipocalimab in adults with moderate-to-severe Sjögren's disease (SjD)a showing that participants with elevated autoantibody and immunoglobulin G (IgG) levelsb, who are often those who experience more substantial disease burden, showed greater clinical response rates.1 These data will be presented in an oral session at the 2026 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Congress. A healthcare professional's perspective
"Sjögren's disease is a highly heterogeneous condition that has historically posed significant challenges for therapeutic development, leaving gaps in patient care," said R. Hal Scofield, M.D., the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation.c "These analyses provide important insight into the potential role of pathogenic immunoglobulin G autoantibodies in disease activity and help expand our understanding of the biological drivers of Sjögren's disease for certain patients. This research is critical for helping clinicians evaluate emerging evidence and the evolving treatment landscape in this chronic, underserved disease."New DAHLIAS Phase 2 clinical and biomarker findings 
Clinical improvements were observed across all patients, with the greatest responses observed in participants with elevated known disease-driving autoantibodies and IgG levels – factors associated with more severe SjD activity and outcomes.1 Previously reported positive Phase 2 study results demonstrated statistically significant improvement in ClinESSDAId scores with nipocalimab versus placebo.2 In the current analysis, patients in the autoantibody-high subgroupb treated with nipocalimab achieved higher response rates than observed in the overall participant population (62.5% versus 51.9%).1 These data support the continued investigation of nipocalimab as a potential immunoselective approach for systemic SjD management in the ongoing Phase 3 DAFFODIL study.Biomarker analyses reveal autoantibody and immune function insights
These findings further support the underlying mechanism of action of nipocalimab as a targeted, immunoselective approach designed to reduce pathogenic IgG autoantibodies associated with SjD disease activity while preserving broader immune function.3"The biomarker analyses are consistent with the hypothesized mechanism of nipocalimab in Sjögren's disease. These findings suggest greater response in the broad study population of adults with moderate-to-severe Sjögren's disease, plus a greater response observed among patients with elevated disease-driving autoantibodies and immunoglobulin G levels," said Leonard L.

"The data also furthers our understanding of the role pathogenic IgG autoantibodies may play in this heterogenous disease as we continue to investigate nipocalimab in Sjögren's."Editor's Notes: a.Nipocalimab is not FDA approved for the treatment of SjD. b.Subgroup included patients with moderate-to-severe SjD who had the highest baseline levels of three disease-associated autoantibodies – anti-Ro60, anti-Ro52 and anti-La – measured in the study population.c.Dr. Scofield is a paid consultant for Johnson & Johnson. He has not been compensated for any media work.d.ClinESSDAI is an endpoint specific to SjD and is a composite scale that assesses organ disease activity across 11 organ system domains [cutaneous, pulmonary, renal, articular, muscular, peripheral nervous system (PNS), central nervous system (CNS), hematological, glandular, constitutional, lymphadenopathy and lymphoma; a higher score indicates greater symptom severity.ABOUT DAHLIAS 
DAHLIAS (NCT04968912) is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind, dose-ranging study to evaluate the effects of nipocalimab in participants with moderately-to-severely active primary Sjögren's disease (SjD) who were seropositive for anti-Ro60 and/or anti-Ro52 immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies. 163 adults aged 18-75 were randomized 1:1:1 to receive intravenous nipocalimab at 5 or 15 mg/kg, or placebo every 2 weeks through Week 22 and received protocol-permitted background standard of care. Safety assessments were conducted through Week 30. The primary endpoint was change in baseline in the ClinESSDAI (Clinical European League Against Rheumatism Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index) Score at Week 24. 4ABOUT SJÖGREN'S DISEASE 
Sjögren's disease (SjD) is one of the most prevalent autoantibody-driven diseases for which no therapies are currently approved that treat the underlying and systemic nature of the disease.5 It is a chronic autoimmune disease that is estimated to impact approximately four million people worldwide and is nine times more common in women than men.6 SjD is characterized by autoantibody production, chronic inflammation and lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands.7 Most patients are affected by mucosal dryness (eyes, mouth, vagina), joint pain and fatigue.8 More than 50% of SjD patients have a moderate-to-severe form of the condition, and disease burden can be as high as that of rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).9,10,11 It is usually associated with impaired quality of life, and in up to approximately half of patients, a loss of functional capacity that can result in an inability to work due to a disability.10,11,12ABOUT NIPOCALIMAB 
Nipocalimab is an investigational immunoselective treatment designed to target, bind with high affinity and block neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing circulating immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies that drive disease while also preserving key immune functions.13,14 Nipocalimab is being investigated across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rheumatologic diseases, Rare Autoantibody diseases andMaternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies in which blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is also believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus.4,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including:??? EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in October 2019 and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in April 2025U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in HDFN and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in December 2021, FNAIT in March 2024, Sjögren's disease (SjD) in March 2025 and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in January 2026 U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, gMG in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for SjD in November 2024U.S. FDA granted Priority Review in gMG in Q4 2024 and wAIHA in Q2 2026ABOUT JOHNSON & JOHNSON

Johnson & Johnson late-breaking results show nipocalimab significantly reduced systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity in a Phase 2 studyJune 3, 2026 12:04 AM
PR Newswire (US) Nipocalimab – the first and only neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) blocker to be studied in systemic lupus erythematosus – is designed to target and reduce pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) autoantibodies associated with this disease while preserving immune functionResults demonstrated significant reduction of systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity which continued beyond the 24-week primary endpoint, and were sustained through Week 52 in the nipocalimab 15 mg/kg groupaThe ongoing Phase 3 study of nipocalimab is currently recruiting people living with systemic lupus erythematosus – a debilitating autoantibody-driven disease which can lead to systemic organ damageLONDON, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced nipocalimab met the primary endpoint of decreasing disease activity at 24 weeks as measured by SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI-4)b and continued to demonstrate sustained reduction in disease activity in adults with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)a through 52 weeks in the Phase 2 JASMINE study as measured by both SRI-4b and Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS).c In addition, the study results showed greater response versus placebo plus background medicationd in participants who tested positive for lupus-associated autoantibodies, which represents the vast majority (~80%) of people living with SLE.e,1 These findings will be featured in a late-breaking presentation at the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2026 Congress in London and are among the 38 abstracts the Company is presenting across its Rheumatology portfolio.  Nipocalimab is designed to selectively block the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing levels of circulating pathogenic immunoglobulin (IgG) autoantibodies and immune complexes associated with inflammation in SLE.2,3 By reducing circulating IgG, including autoantibodies, nipocalimab is designed to target the underlying cause of disease while preserving critical immune functions.4 JASMINE is the first clinical study to demonstrate efficacy of FcRn blockade in SLE and provides clinical, biomarker and pharmacodynamic evidence supporting the continued investigation of nipocalimab as a potential treatment option for this disease.5A healthcare professional's perspective
"The consistent improvements observed across established disease activity measures and reductions in pathogenic immunoglobulin G autoantibodies are encouraging and support the continued investigation of nipocalimab as a targeted treatment approach for people living with systemic lupus erythematosus," said Richard Furie, M.D., Chief of the Division of Rheumatology at Northwell.f "These 52-week findings support the potential of nipocalimab to provide disease control over time for a broad population of autoantibody-positive adult patients living with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus, a disease in which many patients experience ongoing disease activity and risk of irreversible organ damage."JASMINE Phase 2 clinical findings
The Phase 2 JASMINE study is the first proof-of-concept for a FcRn-blocker in SLE and demonstrates the potential of nipocalimab to reduce disease activity, with greater responses observed in autoantibody-positive patients.1,5The study met its primary endpoint at Week 24, with a greater proportion of patients receiving nipocalimab 15 mg/kg plus background medication achieving an SRI-4b response compared with placebo plus background medication (53.5% vs 46.7%). In a predefined autoantibody-positive patient populatione, greater SRI-4 response rates were observed (58.2% vs. 36.1%) and greater achievement of LLDAS (38.9% vs. 18.0%) compared with placebo plus background medication at Week 52.At Week 52, a key secondary endpoint, 53.6% of patients receiving nipocalimab 15 mg/kg achieved an SRI-4b response, compared with 39.7% for placebo plus background medication.More patients receiving nipocalimab 15 mg/kg also achieved LLDASc, a key exploratory endpoint that enables a treat-to-targetg approach, compared with placebo plus background medication (37.5% vs. 20.5%) at Week 52.Nipocalimab had a safety profile consistent with previous studies of nipocalimab and no new safety signals were identified. The most common adverse reactions in patients with SLE treated with nipocalimab (≥10%) were nasopharyngitis, headache, urinary tract infection and nausea.5"The JASMINE results provide important new insights into the potential of nipocalimab for adults with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus as we continue advancing this program," said Leonard L. Dragone, M.D., Ph.D., Disease Area Leader, Autoantibody and Rheumatology, Johnson & Johnson. "We are especially encouraged by the responses observed in autoantibody-positive study participants. These findings support the potential of nipocalimab as a targeted, immunoselective treatment designed to address underlying drivers of systemic lupus erythematosus." Nipocalimab received Fast Track Designation in SLE by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this year. The ongoing Phase 3 GARDENIA study is currently recruiting.Editor's Notes: a. Nipocalimab is not FDA-approved for SLE. b. The SRI-4 is a composite measure used to assess treatment response in patients with SLE during clinical studies. It comprises criteria from three different internationally validated indices, SELENA-SLE Disease Activity Index (SELENA-SLEDAI), Physician Global Assessment (PGA) and the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) 2004.c. LLDAS definition: (1) SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI)-2K ≤4, with no activity in major organ systems (renal, central nervous system (CNS), cardiopulmonary, vasculitis, fever) and no hemolytic anemia or gastrointestinal activity; (2) no new lupus disease activity compared with the previous assessment; (3) a Safety of Estrogens in Lupus Erythematosus National Assessment (SELENA)-SLEDAI physician global assessment (scale 0-3) ≤1; (4) a current prednisolone (or equivalent) dose ≤7.5 mg daily; and (5) well-tolerated standard maintenance doses of immunosuppressive drugs and approved biological agents. d. Protocol-permitted background medications include oral corticosteroids, antimalarials and no more than two of the following immunomodulatory drugs: azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, mycophenolic acid, oral methotrexate.e. The autoantibody-positive population was defined as participants who met ≥1 of the following during screening: (1) positive anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), (2) positive anti-Smith, (3) positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) and positive for anti-Ro, anti-RNP or had a history of anti-dsDNA.f. Dr. Richard Furie has provided consulting, advisory and speaking services to?Johnson & Johnson. He has not been paid for any media work.g. Treat-to-target in SLE is a therapeutic strategy in which treatment is guided by regular assessment of disease activity and adjusted to achieve a predefined target – primarily remission, or low disease activity if remission is not attainable – to improve long-term outcomes and prevent organ damage.6ABOUT JASMINE
JASMINE (NCT04882878) is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to evaluate nipocalimab in 228 adult participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Adults aged 18-65 years with moderate-to-severe SLE, defined by established measures of disease activity, who were positive for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA), and/or anti-Smith antibodies, and had not responded to at least one standard-of-care treatment were enrolled. Participants were randomized 1:1:1 to receive intravenous nipocalimab at 5 or 15 mg/kg, or placebo every 2 weeks through Week 52, in addition to protocol-permitted background medications. The primary endpoint was the SLE Responder Index-4 (SRI-4) composite response at Week 24. Pharmacodynamic effects and safety, including adverse events, were assessed through Week 58.5ABOUT SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues.7,8 This can lead to inflammation and damage in many parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, kidneys and brain.3 SLE affects nine times more women than men, often striking initially between the ages of 15-44.9 In addition to systemic organ damage, other complications of SLE can include end-stage renal failure, scarring cutaneous lesions, neurological damage and various forms of cardiovascular disease.3 People living with SLE often face reduced health-related quality of life, due to severe fatigue, mood disturbances, joint pain, swelling and rashes, including the hallmark butterfly-shaped facial rash, as well as complications of long-term glucocorticoid use.10 Severe fatigue is the most widely reported and debilitating symptom of SLE, affecting up to 80% of people with SLE.11 SLE is the most common form of lupus, affecting 3 to 5 million people worldwide, approximately 70% of lupus cases.12,13 It is estimated that 450,000 people in the United States are affected by SLE.14ABOUT NIPOCALIMAB 
Nipocalimab is an investigational immunoselective treatment designed to target, bind with high affinity, and block neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that drive disease while also preserving key immune functions.2,3 Nipocalimab is being investigated across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rheumatologic disease, Rare Autoantibody diseases and Maternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies in which blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is also believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus. 5,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including:?EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in October 2019 and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in April 2025 U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in HDFN and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in December 2021, FNAIT in March 2024, Sjögren's disease (SjD) in March 2025 and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in January 2026 U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, gMG in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023 U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for SjD in November 2024 U.S. FDA granted Priority Review in gMG in Q4 2024 and in wAIHA in Q2 2026 ABOUT JOHNSON & JOHNSON

RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) pivotal data show strong and durable responses in advanced head and neck cancer where options remain limitedMay 31, 2026 8:29 AM
PR Newswire (US) More than one-third of responders with previously treated disease achieved complete responses, with median duration of response not yet reached, as reported in new Journal of Clinical Oncology publication RYBREVANT FASPRO™, an EGFR- and MET-targeting dual inhibitor, is the first and only subcutaneous therapy being evaluated in this setting Johnson & Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application to U.S. FDA seeking approval for this indication CHICAGO, May 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced pivotal results from the Phase 1b/2 OrigAMI-4 study showing that subcutaneous amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj delivered durable responses in patients with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma previously treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Confirmed overall response rate was 42 percent, with more than one-third of responders achieving complete responses. Median duration of response was not yet reached, with a median follow up of 11.8 months.1 These data were featured in an oral session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting (Abstract #6008) and simultaneously published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO).2 Together, with additional data presented in lung and colorectal cancers, these findings further demonstrate the expanding role of the amivantamab portfolio across tumor types. A supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) seeking approval for subcutaneous amivantamab in head and neck cancer has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following Breakthrough Therapy Designation.High unmet need remains in advanced head and neck cancerHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma is an aggressive disease that can significantly affect quality of life, with symptoms such as pain and difficulty swallowing that can make it hard to eat, speak and maintain proper nutrition.3,4 Certain forms of head and neck cancer, including tumors of the mouth, voice box and parts of the throat, are among the most difficult to treat, and are associated with poorer outcomes and persistent unmet need.5 Across head and neck cancers, up to half of patients will experience recurrence or metastatic disease, even when treated at an early stage.3 Once the disease becomes recurrent or metastatic, five-year survival is approximately 15 percent.6 For patients who receive additional treatment, current options provide limited benefit with response rates rarely exceeding 24 percent, and few patients achieve a complete response.7,8Dual-targeting mechanism helps address tumor growth and resistanceSubcutaneous amivantamab is designed to dual target both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), two pathways associated with tumor growth and resistance, while engaging the immune system.9"Patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer who have already been treated with immunotherapy and chemotherapy face very poor outcomes," said Barbara Burtness, M.D.,* medical oncologist and professor of medicine at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut. "The high response seen with subcutaneous amivantamab on its own, including more than one-third of responders achieving complete responses, and the durability of those responses, suggests it has the potential to meaningfully improve expectations for these patients."Detailed OrigAMI-4 study resultsCohort 1 of the OrigAMI-4 study evaluated subcutaneous amivantamab monotherapy in 102 patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer who had previously received immunotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy, excluding patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer. Patients received treatment every three weeks following an initial loading dose. The primary endpoint was overall response rate, as assessed by local investigators per protocol. Responses were confirmed via blinded independent central review (BICR).1 Based on BICR, confirmed overall response rate was 42 percent (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 32-52), including complete responses in more than one-third of responders (15 percent) and a 27 percent partial response rate. Clinical benefit rate was 63 percent (95 percent CI, 53-72), and median time to first response was 6.6 weeks (range, 5.6-36.9). At the time of analysis (median follow-up of 11.8 months), median duration of response had not yet been reached among confirmed responders, demonstrating notable durability. Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 6.8 months and 12.5 months, respectively.1The safety profile of subcutaneous amivantamab monotherapy was consistent with prior reports, with no new safety signals identified. Most treatment-related adverse events were Grade 1 or 2 (mild to moderate) and associated with EGFR or MET inhibition. The most common on-target adverse events included hypoalbuminemia (50 percent), rash (37 percent), paronychia (34 percent) and dermatitis acneiform (34 percent). Administration-related reactions occurred in 15 percent of patients, with no Grade 3 or higher events reported. Treatment-related discontinuations remained low at eight percent.1"Progress has been limited for patients with recurrent and metastatic head and neck cancer, highlighting the need for differentiated approaches that can address the disease more comprehensively," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "Subcutaneous amivantamab is the only therapy of its kind being studied in this disease, targeting both EGFR and MET while engaging the immune system. The encouraging responses we're seeing in OrigAMI-4, along with a well-established and manageable safety profile, underscore the potential of this approach and move us closer to delivering a fast, convenient treatment option."Ongoing study of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ in head and neck cancerA trial-in-progress update from the Phase 3 OrigAMI-5 study (NCT07276399) was also shared at ASCO 2026 (Abstract #583a). The study is evaluating subcutaneous amivantamab in combination with carboplatin and pembrolizumab as a first-line treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer, with the goal of improving outcomes in the first-line setting.10RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is already approved in more than 40 countries, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and other markets, as a subcutaneous treatment for patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.11About the OrigAMI-4 StudyOrigAMI-4 (NCT06385080) is an open-label Phase 1b/2 study evaluating RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). The study includes five cohorts exploring RYBREVANT FASPRO™ across different treatment settings and regimens.Cohort 1 evaluated RYBREVANT FASPRO™ as monotherapy in patients with R/M HNSCC who had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy. Patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were excluded, as well as those with prior anti-EGFR therapy.RYBREVANT FASPRO™ was administered on a weekly schedule during the initial treatment period followed by dosing every three weeks (Q3W), with weight-based dosing adjustments. The primary endpoint across cohorts is overall response rate (ORR), as assessed by investigators, using RECIST v1.1.†12About Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common form of head and neck cancer, a group of cancers that arise in the mouth, throat, voice box, sinuses, nasal cavity, and salivary glands.13 It represents approximately 4.5 percent of all cancers worldwide and is the seventh most common cancer globally.13 Major risk factors include tobacco and alcohol use, as well as infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV).13 Approximately 80 percent of recurrent or metastatic HNSCC are not driven by HPV, and are typically associated with poorer prognosis and reduced response to treatment.13, 14 Despite advances in surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, many patients ultimately progress to advanced, recurrent or metastatic disease.15,16About RYBREVANT FASPRO™ and RYBREVANT®RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) received U.S. FDA approval in December 2025 and is approved in multiple markets worldwide for the treatment of adults with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including those with exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, and exon 20 insertion mutations. It is the only subcutaneous therapy approved in these populations and can be used as monotherapy or in combination with LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) or chemotherapy in the front- and second-line settings, offering convenient monthly‡ or bi-weekly dosing. RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20), Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology.RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw), administered intravenously, received U.S. FDA approval in March 2024 and is approved for the same indications as RYBREVANT FASPRO™ across multiple markets. RYBREVANT® is a first-in-class, fully human bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, designed to inhibit tumor growth while engaging the immune system.The effectiveness of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is supported by the established clinical profile of RYBREVANT®, including data from multiple Phase 3 studies such as MARIPOSA, which demonstrated improvements in progression-free and overall survival when used in combination with LAZCLUZE® in first-line advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®)§17 include amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) across its FDA-approved treatment settings, including as a Category 1 preferred option in combination with lazertinib (LAZCLUZE®) for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Subcutaneous amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj (RYBREVANT FASPRO™) may be substituted for IV amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) where appropriate. See the latest NCCN Guidelines® for NSCLC for complete information. || The NCCN Guidelines for Central Nervous System Cancers also include amivantamab (RYBREVANT®)-based regimens, including in combination with lazertinib (LAZCLUZE®), as the only NCCN-preferred combination options for patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and brain metastases. || Beyond NSCLC, RYBREVANT-based therapies are being investigated across other solid tumors, including head and neck and colorectal cancers.The legal manufacturer for RYBREVANT FASPRO™ and RYBREVANT® is Janssen Biotech, Inc.

Johnson & Johnson's Phase 3 prostate cancer study shows ERLEADA® (apalutamide) before and after surgery significantly reduces risk of metastasis or death, breaking a decades-long treatment paradigmMay 31, 2026 8:27 AM
PR Newswire (US) Patients were nine times more likely to have little to no cancer remaining in the prostate after surgery, with a 20% reduction in the risk of developing metastasis or death Data selected to open the plenary presentation at ASCO 2026 and published in The New England Journal of MedicineCHICAGO, May 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) today announced results from the final analysis of the Phase 3 PROTEUS study showing the investigational use of apalutamide plus hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy, ADT), given for six months before and after prostate cancer surgery, significantly improved key short- and long-term clinical outcomes for patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced disease. The trial met both primary endpoints. Patients treated with apalutamide plus hormone therapy were nine times more likely to have little to no cancer remaining at the time of surgery compared with hormone therapy alone (8.9 percent vs. 1.0 percent; pathologic complete response/minimal residual disease). The combination also reduced the risk of developing metastasis or death by 20 percent and extended the time before patients required subsequent therapy to more than six years. These findings will be presented in a plenary session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting (Oral Abstract #LBA1) and published simultaneously in The New England Journal of Medicine.1,2 The unmet need with standard treatments for patients with high-risk localized prostate cancerSurgery to remove the prostate (radical prostatectomy) is one of the standard treatments for patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced disease, alongside radiation therapy.3,4 Yet nearly half of patients who undergo curative-intent surgery will see their cancer return, requiring additional treatment and moving beyond the point where cure is possible.5,6,7 Additional therapies are often used only after the cancer has spread, missing a critical window to intervene earlier and improve long-term outcomes.8 Apalutamide blocks androgen hormones from binding to their receptor, which can help slow prostate cancer progression. It is currently approved for use in advanced prostate cancer, including cases where the disease has spread (metastatic castration-sensitive) or is no longer responding to certain hormone therapies (non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer).9Expert perspectives on the perioperative use of ERLEADA® plus hormone therapy six months before and after prostate cancer surgery"Reducing the risk of prostate cancer recurrence and death with improved initial treatment regimens has been a longstanding unmet need for patients with localized high-risk prostate cancer," said Mary-Ellen Taplin,* M.D., FASCO, medical oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School, and principal investigator. "The PROTEUS trial demonstrates that adding preoperative apalutamide to androgen deprivation therapy and surgery reduced the risk of metastases or death by 20 percent. This result is most impactful as it may reduce the need for subsequent therapies and related side effects, while also increasing potential cure rates. This approach, which combines systemic therapy with surgery, is already standard in other aggressive cancers and now has proven benefit in patients with this disease.""For decades, surgery has been the standard approach for many patients with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer, but these data suggest it may not be enough on its own," said Adam Kibel,† M.D., urologic surgeon and chair of the Department of Urology at Mass General Brigham. "Earlier integration of apalutamide has the potential to reshape how prostate cancer is treated by building on curative-intent surgical treatment and improving outcomes for these patients."Detailed PROTEUS study resultsPROTEUS is a Phase 3 study evaluating apalutamide, an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor, combined with hormone therapy before and after surgery in patients with newly diagnosed high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer (n=2109). The dual primary endpoints were the amount of cancer remaining at surgery (pathologic complete response/minimal residual disease, pCR/MRD) and how long patients lived without the cancer spreading (metastasis-free survival, MFS), both assessed by blinded independent central review.1At a median follow-up of 61.7 months, apalutamide plus hormone therapy met both primary endpoints. The rate of pCR/MRD was 8.9 percent with apalutamide plus hormone therapy versus 1.0 percent with hormone therapy alone (odds ratio [OR], 10.17; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 5.27-19.64; p

RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) demonstrates prolonged clinical benefit as a first-line treatment for atypical EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancerMay 29, 2026 2:00 PM
PR Newswire (US) Median overall survival, a secondary endpoint, reached nearly 3.5 years with Johnson & Johnson's RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® in atypical EGFR-mutated diseaseConsistent responses observed across atypical EGFR mutation subgroups, including those historically associated with poorer outcomesASCO 2026 results reinforce the significance of RYBREVANT®-based regimens for patients across EGFR mutationsCHICAGO, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) today announced updated results from the Phase 1/1b CHRYSALIS-2 study evaluating intravenous RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) in combination with LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with atypical epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The analysis showed encouraging long-term outcomes with RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® in this difficult-to-treat population. Median overall survival, a secondary endpoint, was nearly 3.5 years.1 The primary endpoint of objective response rate was previously reported.2 These results add to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the potential of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® to deliver durable survival outcomes across both common and atypical EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC in the first-line setting. Data were presented in an oral session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting (Abstract #8501).1 Significant unmet need in patients with atypical EGFR-mutated NSCLCPatients with atypical EGFR-mutated NSCLC tend to have poorer outcomes than those with common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions and L858R substitutions), and effective first-line treatment options remain limited.3,4 These mutations represent approximately 10-20 percent of all EGFR-mutated cases.5 Median overall survival with current standard of care single-agent therapies remains under two years, highlighting a significant unmet need for treatments that can deliver more durable benefit in this setting.6,7 RYBREVANT® is designed to dual target EGFR and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), while engaging the immune system.8,9,10,11 These complementary mechanisms play a central role in tumor growth and treatment resistance and may help address the underlying drivers of disease.Expert and company perspectives supporting the strength of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE®"For patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring atypical EGFR-mutations, first-line treatment decisions are often clouded by uncertainty regarding the efficacy of currently available EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors," said Joel Neal,* M.D., Ph.D., principal investigator of the Phase 1/1b CHRYSALIS-2 study. "The responses we've seen in this trial suggest the potential for more durable disease control, and the overall survival data reinforce that picture. These long-term outcomes begin to change how we think about treatment options in managing this subtype of lung cancer." Neal is also a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Oncology at Stanford Medicine."Disease progression and molecular resistance remain critical barriers in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "RYBREVANT-based combinations demonstrate the power of changing the biology by addressing multiple disease drivers from the start rather than relying on single-pathway strategies. With strong outcomes across all known EGFR mutations, this approach is raising the bar for what first-line treatment can achieve."Detailed CHRYSALIS-2 study resultsIn Cohort C of the CHRYSALIS-2 study, RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® was evaluated as a first-line treatment in patients with atypical EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, excluding EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (n=49). The most common atypical EGFR mutations included G719X (55 percent), S768X (27 percent) and L861X (24 percent), with 35 percent of patients harboring multiple atypical mutations. The study previously reported an objective response rate of 57 percent (primary endpoint).1,2Median overall survival with RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® reached nearly 3.5 years (41.0 months; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 27.7-not estimable) at a median follow-up of 31.3 months. Overall survival rates were 55 percent at three years and 46 percent at four years.1Consistent clinical activity was observed across atypical EGFR mutation subgroups, as well as across patient and disease characteristics such as central nervous system metastases and TP53 status. Patients were also able to remain on treatment long-term across mutation groups and baseline characteristics. Notably, 41 percent of patients remained on RYBREVANT® for two years or longer, further supporting the durable survival observed with this combination.1The safety profile of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® was consistent with previous reports, with no new safety signals observed with longer follow-up. Most adverse events were Grade 1 or 2. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events occurring in more than 30 percent of patients included paronychia (78 percent), rash (65 percent), hypoalbuminemia (61 percent) and infusion-related reactions (61 percent).1RYBREVANT®-based regimens are approved for patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC across common (exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R substitution mutations) and exon 20 insertion mutations, including in the first-line setting.12 These results further define long-term outcomes with first-line RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® for patients with atypical EGFR mutations. Additional data being presented at ASCO 2026 in lung, head and neck, and colorectal cancers underscore the broader potential of RYBREVANT® across tumor types.About the CHRYSALIS-2 StudyCHRYSALIS-2 (NCT04077463) is an open-label Phase 1/1b study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of LAZCLUZE®, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, as monotherapy or in combinations with RYBREVANT®, a human bispecific EGFR and cMet antibody in participants with advanced NSCLC. The study enrolled 460 patients with advanced NSCLC.13Cohort C of the ongoing CHRYSALIS-2 study evaluates patients with atypical EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC, excluding exon 20 insertion and classical EGFR mutations, who are treatment-naïve or have received up to two prior lines of therapy. Patients received intravenous RYBREVANT® in combination with LAZCLUZE® administered orally once daily.13About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Worldwide, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, with NSCLC making up 80 to 85 percent of all lung cancer cases.14,15 The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.16 Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase controlling cell growth and division.17 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent of Western patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asian patients.14,15,18,19,20,21 EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations are the most common EGFR mutations.22 The five-year survival rate for all people with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is less than 20 percent.23,24 EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations are the third-most prevalent activating EGFR mutation.25 Patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations have a real-world five-year overall survival (OS) of eight percent in the frontline setting, which is worse than patients with EGFR ex19del or L858R mutations, who have a real-world five-year OS of 19 percent.26About RYBREVANT®RYBREVANT FASPRO™ (amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj) received U.S. FDA approval in December 2025 and is approved in multiple markets worldwide for the treatment of adults with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including those with exon 19 deletions, exon 21 L858R substitution mutations, and exon 20 insertion mutations. It is the only subcutaneous therapy approved in these populations and can be used as monotherapy or in combination with LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) or chemotherapy in the front- and second-line settings, offering convenient monthly† or bi-weekly dosing. RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 (rHuPH20), Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology.RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw), administered intravenously, received U.S. FDA approval in March 2024 and is approved for the same indications as RYBREVANT FASPRO™ across multiple markets. RYBERVANT® is a first-in-class, fully human bispecific antibody targeting EGFR and MET, designed to inhibit tumor growth while engaging the immune system.The effectiveness of RYBREVANT FASPRO™ is supported by the established clinical profile of RYBREVANT®, including data from multiple Phase 3 studies such as MARIPOSA, which demonstrated improvements in progression-free and overall survival when used in combination with LAZCLUZE® in first-line advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC.The National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®)‡ 27 include amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) across its FDA-approved treatment settings, including as a Category 1 preferred option in combination with lazertinib (LAZCLUZE®) for first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Subcutaneous amivantamab and hyaluronidase-lpuj (RYBREVANT FASPRO™) may be substituted for IV amivantamab-vmjw (RYBREVANT®) where appropriate.

New TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) data demonstrate superior progression-free and overall survival as early as first relapse in multiple myelomaMay 29, 2026 8:18 AM
PR Newswire (US) Building on the recent approval of Johnson & Johnson's TECVAYLI® plus DARZALEX FASPRO®, MajesTEC-9 is the second positive Phase 3 study to reinforce the strength of TECVAYLI® as early as second line TECVAYLI® delivered deep and durable responses with nearly two-thirds of patients achieving a complete response or betterCHICAGO, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), a worldwide leader in multiple myeloma therapies, today announced new data from the Phase 3 MajesTEC-9 study demonstrating clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) with TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) versus standard of care regimens in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated as early as second line. In a patient population whose myeloma was predominantly refractory to anti-CD38 therapy and lenalidomide, TECVAYLI® reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 71% and the risk of death by 40%.1 These data (Abstract #7507) will be presented as an oral session today at the annual American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, with simultaneous publication in The New England Journal of Medicine. Expert and company perspectives support the strength of TECVAYLI® "These findings further reinforce TECVAYLI's potential to meaningfully improve survival outcomes for patients with multiple myeloma in earlier lines," said Roberto Mina, M.D., Associate Professor, Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.* "These results will continue to transform the role of bispecifics in clinical decision-making as early as first relapse—offering a steroid-sparing, community-based therapy for patients across all practice settings, regardless of prior anti-CD38 exposure.""After the recent approval of TECVAYLI plus DARZALEX FASPRO, a potential new standard of care, these results add to the growing body of evidence reinforcing the clinical power of TECVAYLI earlier in the treatment paradigm," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson. "These findings further demonstrate how we're leading in multiple myeloma as we bring new options to better match the right therapy to the right patient at each stage of disease."MajesTEC-9 study results The MajesTEC-9 study evaluated TECVAYLI®, a bispecific T-cell engager antibody therapy, versus the standard of care of pomalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (PVd) or carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have received 1 to 3 prior lines of therapy, including lenalidomide and a CD38 monoclonal antibody.1 Efficacy benefits were observed in a heavily pre-treated population, including patients predominantly refractory to anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (85%) and lenalidomide (79%), and more than 90% of patients who were refractory to their last line of therapy.1 Treatment with TECVAYLI® demonstrated a 71% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death (hazard ratio [HR]=0.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23, 0.38) and a 40% reduction in the risk of death (HR=0.60; 95% CI, 0.43, 0.83)] compared to standard of care, demonstrating significant improvements in both PFS and OS.1 Additionally, all key secondary endpoints showed significant improvement with TECVAYLI® versus standard of care, including nearly two-thirds of patients achieving a complete response or better (≥CR; 65.9% vs. 16.8%).1The overall safety profile for TECVAYLI® in the study was consistent with its known safety profile. TECVAYLI® had similar rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) compared to standard of care (99.7% vs. 97.9%).1 Grade 3/4 TEAEs were reported by 84.9% of patients treated with TECVAYLI®, compared with 76.3% of patients receiving standard of care.1 Grade 5 TEAEs were uncommon across the two treatment groups (6.5% vs. 3.5%).1 The majority of Grade 5 TEAEs in both groups were due to infections (5.5% vs. 2.8%) and most occurred within the first six months of treatment initiation.1 Infections were more frequent with TECVAYLI® compared to standard of care (Grade 3/4, 41.6% vs. 29.0%); However, rates of Grade 3 or higher infections declined over time with disease control.1 Cytokine release syndrome occurred in 66.0% of patients treated with TECVAYLI®, mostly Grade 1 and managed with standard mitigation strategies.1 All events resolved and none led to treatment discontinuation.1 Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome was infrequent, occurring in 4.1% of patients and primarily Grade 1/2.1 Median duration of treatment on TECVAYLI® was almost two times longer than standard of care (13.1 vs 7.0 months).1Regulatory review and next steps Based on these results, Johnson & Johnson is working with regulatory bodies globally to consider TECVAYLI® as early as second line. Applications for regulatory approval have been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).About the MajesTEC–9 Study
MajesTEC-9 (NCT05572515) is an ongoing, randomized Phase 3 study comparing teclistamab monotherapy with pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone (PVd) or carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) in patients with RRMM who have received 1–3 prior lines including lenalidomide and CD38 monoclonal antibody. The primary endpoint is PFS; secondary endpoints include complete response or better (≥CR), duration of response (DoR), time to next treatment (TTNT), progression-free survival on next line of therapy (PFS2), overall survival (OS), safety, and patient-reported outcomes.About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a complex blood cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called plasma cells, which are found in the bone marrow.2 In multiple myeloma, these plasma cells proliferate and spread rapidly and replace normal cells in the bone marrow with tumors.3 Multiple myeloma is the third most common blood cancer worldwide.4 More than 180,000 new cases of multiple myeloma are diagnosed globally each year.5 People living with multiple myeloma have a 5-year survival rate of 59.8 percent.6 While some people diagnosed with multiple myeloma initially have no symptoms, most patients are diagnosed due to symptoms that can include bone fracture or pain, low red blood cell counts, tiredness, high calcium levels and kidney problems or infections.7,8 In recent years, overall survival has improved from years to decades, with effective treatment options now available across every stage and line of therapy.9About TECVAYLI®TECVAYLI® (teclistamab-cqyv) is a first-in-class, bispecific T-cell engager antibody therapy that uses innovative science to activate the immune system by binding to the CD3 receptor expressed on the surface of T-cells and to the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expressed on the surface of multiple myeloma cells and some healthy B-lineage cells. TECVAYLI® received accelerated approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2022 as an off-the-shelf (or ready-to-use) antibody that is administered as a subcutaneous treatment for adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received at least four prior lines of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent, and an anti-CD38 antibody.10In February 2024, the U.S. FDA approved the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for TECVAYLI® for a reduced dosing frequency of 1.5 mg/kg every two weeks in patients with RRMM who achieved and maintained a complete response (CR) or better for a minimum of six months.In March 2026, the U.S. FDA approved TECVAYLI® in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including a proteasome inhibitor and an immunomodulatory agent. The supplemental Biologics License Application was proactively selected for the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Pilot Program and also granted the application Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Real-Time Oncology Review. This approval expanded the use of TECVAYLI® into earlier lines of therapy and is the first bispecific antibody-based combination regimen in this setting.To date, more than 26,000 patients have been treated worldwide with TECVAYLI®.The European Commission (EC) granted TECVAYLI® conditional marketing authorization in August 2022 as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with RRMM who have received at least three prior therapies, including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory agent and an anti-CD38 antibody, and have demonstrated disease progression since the last therapy. In August 2023, the EC approved a Type II variation application for TECVAYLI®, providing the option for a reduced dosing frequency of 1.5 mg/kg every two weeks (Q2W) in patients who have achieved a complete response or better for a minimum of six months.For more information, visit www.TECVAYLI.com.About DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX®DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) received U.S. FDA approval in May 2020 and is approved for 11 indications in multiple myeloma, four of which are for frontline treatment in newly diagnosed patients who are transplant eligible or ineligible.11 It is the only subcutaneous CD38-directed antibody approved to treat patients with multiple myeloma.

Withhold until CRS resolves or permanently discontinue TECVAYLI based on severity.TECVAYLI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS.Neurologic Toxicity including Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome - TECVAYLI can cause serious, life-threatening, or fatal neurologic toxicity, including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).In the clinical trials (monotherapy and combination therapy trials; N=448), neurologic toxicity occurred in 60% of patients who received TECVAYLI at the recommended dosage, with Grade 3 or 4 neurologic toxicity in 6%. Neurologic toxicities reported in ≥5% of patients included headache (27%), sensory neuropathy (16%), motor dysfunction (15%), insomnia (12%), encephalopathy (11%), and dizziness (8%). Fatal neurologic toxicity occurred in 0.4% of patients, including Guillain-Barré syndrome and status epilepticus (one patient each).In MajesTEC-1, ICANS was reported in 6% of patients who received TECVAYLI as monotherapy at the recommended dosage. Recurrent ICANS occurred in 1.8% of patients. Most patients experienced ICANS following step-up dose 1 (1.2%), step-up dose 2 (0.6%), or the initial treatment dose (1.8%). Less than 3% of patients developed first occurrence of ICANS following subsequent TECVAYLI doses. The median time to onset of ICANS was 4 (range: 2 to 8) days after the most recent dose with a median duration of 3 (range: 1 to 20) days. The most frequent clinical manifestations of ICANS reported were confusional state and dysgraphia.In MajesTEC-3, ICANS was reported in 1.1% of patients who received the recommended TECVAYLI dosage in combination with daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj, including Grade 4 ICANS in 1 patient. All events of ICANS occurred during the step-up dosing schedule. The median time to onset of ICANS was 2 (range: 1 to 3) days after the most recent dose and the median duration of ICANS was 2 (range: 1 to 2) days. The clinical manifestations of ICANS reported were amnesia, encephalopathy and delirium.The onset of ICANS can be concurrent with CRS, following resolution of CRS, or in the absence of CRS.Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS during TECVAYLI treatment. At the first sign of neurologic toxicity, including ICANS, immediately evaluate patient and provide supportive therapy based on severity. Withhold until neurologic toxicity resolves or permanently discontinue TECVAYLI based on severity per recommendations and consider further management per current practice guidelines.Due to the potential for neurologic toxicity, patients receiving TECVAYLI are at risk of depressed level of consciousness. Advise patients to refrain from driving or operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery during and for 48 hours after completion of TECVAYLI step-up dosing schedule and in the event of new onset of any neurologic toxicity symptoms until neurologic toxicity resolves.TECVAYLI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS.TECVAYLI and TALVEY REMS - TECVAYLI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the TECVAYLI and TALVEY REMS because of the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicity, including ICANS.Hepatotoxicity - TECVAYLI can cause hepatotoxicity, including fatalities. There was one fatal case of hepatic failure in MajesTEC-1.

Fatal reactions have been reported with daratumumab-containing products, including DARZALEX FASPRO®. Systemic Reactions  In a pooled safety population of 1446 patients with multiple myeloma (N=1235) or light chain (AL) amyloidosis (N=193) who received DARZALEX FASPRO® as monotherapy or in combination, 7% of patients experienced a systemic administration-related reaction (Grade 2: 3%, Grade 3: 0.8%, Grade 4: 0.1%). In patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (N=193), systemic administration-related reactions occurred in 17% of patients in AQUILA (Grade 2: 7%, Grade 3: 1%).In all patients (N=1639), systemic administration-related reactions occurred in 7% of patients with the first injection, 0.5% with the second injection, and cumulatively 1% with subsequent injections. The median time to onset was 3.2 hours (range: 4 minutes to 3.5 days). Of the 283 systemic administration-related reactions that occurred in 135 patients, 240 (85%) occurred on the day of DARZALEX FASPRO® administration. Delayed systemic administration-related reactions have occurred in 1% of the patients.Severe reactions included hypoxia, dyspnea, hypertension, tachycardia, and ocular adverse reactions, including choroidal effusion, acute myopia, and acute angle closure glaucoma. Other signs and symptoms of systemic administration-related reactions may include respiratory symptoms, such as bronchospasm, nasal congestion, cough, throat irritation, allergic rhinitis, and wheezing, as well as anaphylactic reaction, pyrexia, chest pain, pruritus, chills, vomiting, nausea, hypotension, and blurred vision.Pre-medicate patients with histamine-1 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen, and corticosteroids. Monitor patients for systemic administration-related reactions, especially following the first and second injections. For anaphylactic reaction or life-threatening (Grade 4) administration-related reactions, immediately and permanently discontinue DARZALEX FASPRO®. Consider administering corticosteroids and other medications after the administration of DARZALEX FASPRO® depending on dosing regimen and medical history to minimize the risk of delayed (defined as occurring the day after administration) systemic administration-related reactions.  Ocular adverse reactions, including acute myopia and narrowing of the anterior chamber angle due to ciliochoroidal effusions with potential for increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma, have occurred with daratumumab-containing products. If ocular symptoms occur, interrupt DARZALEX FASPRO® and seek immediate ophthalmologic evaluation prior to restarting DARZALEX FASPRO®.  Local ReactionsIn this pooled safety population of 1446 patients with multiple myeloma (N=1253) or light chain amyloidosis (N=193), injection-site reactions occurred in 8% of patients, including Grade 2 reactions in 1.1%. The most frequent (>1%) injection-site reaction were injection site erythema and injection site rash. In patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (N=193), injection-site reactions occurred in 28% of patients, including Grade 2 reactions in 3%. These local reactions occurred a median of 6 minutes (range: 0 minutes to 6.5 days) after starting administration of DARZALEX FASPRO®. Monitor for local reactions and consider symptomatic management.InfectionsDARZALEX FASPRO® can cause serious, life-threatening, or fatal infections. In patients who received DARZALEX FASPRO® in a pooled safety population including patients with smoldering multiple myeloma and light chain (AL) amyloidosis (N=1639), serious infections, including opportunistic infections, occurred in 24% of patients, Grade 3 or 4 infections occurred in 22%, and fatal infections occurred in 2.5%. The most common type of serious infection reported was pneumonia (8.5%).Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection prior to and during treatment with DARZALEX FASPRO® and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to guidelines.Neutropenia  Daratumumab may increase neutropenia induced by background therapy. Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer's prescribing information for background therapies. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO® until recovery of neutrophils. In lower body weight patients receiving DARZALEX FASPRO®, higher rates of Grade 3-4 neutropenia were observed.  Thrombocytopenia  Daratumumab may increase thrombocytopenia induced by background therapy. Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer's prescribing information for background therapies. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO® until recovery of platelets.  Embryo-Fetal Toxicity  Based on the mechanism of action, DARZALEX FASPRO® can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. DARZALEX FASPRO® may cause depletion of fetal immune cells and decreased bone density. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females with reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DARZALEX FASPRO® and for 3 months after the last dose.  The combination of DARZALEX FASPRO® with lenalidomide, thalidomide, or pomalidomide is contraindicated in pregnant women because lenalidomide, thalidomide, and pomalidomide may cause birth defects and death of the unborn child. Refer to the lenalidomide, thalidomide, or pomalidomide prescribing information on use during pregnancy.  Interference With Serological Testing  Daratumumab binds to CD38 on red blood cells (RBCs) and results in a positive indirect antiglobulin test (indirect Coombs test). Daratumumab-mediated positive indirect antiglobulin test may persist for up to 6 months after the last daratumumab administration. Daratumumab bound to RBCs masks detection of antibodies to minor antigens in the patient's serum. The determination of a patient's ABO and Rh blood type are not impacted.  Notify blood transfusion centers of this interference with serological testing and inform blood banks that a patient has received DARZALEX FASPRO®. Type and screen patients prior to starting DARZALEX FASPRO®.  Interference With Determination of Complete Response  Daratumumab is a human immunoglobulin G (IgG) kappa monoclonal antibody that can be detected on both the serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation (IFE) assays used for the clinical monitoring of endogenous M-protein. This interference can impact the determination of complete response and of disease progression in some DARZALEX FASPRO®-treated patients with IgG kappa myeloma protein.  ADVERSE REACTIONS  In multiple myeloma, the most common adverse reaction (≥20%) with DARZALEX FASPRO® monotherapy is upper respiratory tract infection. The most common adverse reactions with combination therapy (≥20% for any combination) include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, dyspnea, insomnia, headache, rash, pyrexia, cough, muscle spasms, back pain, vomiting, hypertension, musculoskeletal pain, upper respiratory tract infection, , peripheral neuropathy, peripheral sensory neuropathy, constipation, pneumonia, edema, peripheral edema, and anemia.The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma who received DARZALEX FASPRO® monotherapy are upper respiratory tract infection, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, rash, sleep disorder, sensory neuropathy, and injection site reactions.The most common hematology laboratory abnormalities (≥40%) with DARZALEX FASPRO® are decreased leukocytes, decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased platelets, and decreased hemoglobin.  Please click here to read the full Prescribing Information for DARZALEX FASPRO®.  DARZALEX® INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONINDICATIONSDARZALEX® (daratumumab) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma:In combination with bortezomib, melphalan, and prednisone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplantIn combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant and in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapyIn combination with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplantIn combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitorIn combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received one to three prior lines of therapyIn combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapyAs monotherapy in patients who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agentCONTRAINDICATIONSDARZALEX® is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylactic reactions) to daratumumab or any of the components of the formulation.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSInfusion-Related ReactionsDARZALEX® can cause severe and/or serious infusion-related reactions including anaphylactic reactions.

In clinical trials (monotherapy and combination: N=2066), infusion-related reactions occurred in 37% of patients with the Week 1 (16 mg/kg) infusion, 2% with the Week 2 infusion, and cumulatively 6% with subsequent infusions. Less than 1% of patients had a Grade 3/4 infusion-related reaction at Week 2 or subsequent infusions. The median time to onset was 1.5 hours (range: 0 to 73 hours). Nearly all reactions occurred during infusion or within 4 hours of completing DARZALEX®. Severe reactions have occurred, including bronchospasm, hypoxia, dyspnea, hypertension, tachycardia, headache, laryngeal edema, pulmonary edema, and ocular adverse reactions, including choroidal effusion, acute myopia, and acute angle closure glaucoma. Signs and symptoms may include respiratory symptoms, such as nasal congestion, cough, throat irritation, as well as chills, vomiting, and nausea. Less common signs and symptoms were wheezing, allergic rhinitis, pyrexia, chest discomfort, pruritus, hypotension and blurred vision.When DARZALEX® dosing was interrupted in the setting of ASCT (CASSIOPEIA) for a median of 3.75 months (range: 2.4 to 6.9 months), upon re-initiation of DARZALEX®, the incidence of infusion-related reactions was 11% for the first infusion following ASCT. Infusion-related reactions occurring at re-initiation of DARZALEX® following ASCT were consistent in terms of symptoms and severity (Grade 3 or 4:

FDA approves label expansion, cementing TREMFYA® as the only IL-23 inhibitor proven to help stop further joint damageMay 28, 2026 7:10 PM
PR Newswire (US) TREMFYA® showed significant inhibition of structural joint damage in adults with active psoriatic arthritisHORSHAM, Pa., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to include evidence in the TREMFYA® (guselkumab) label for the inhibition of progression of structural joint damage in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The inclusion of this key outcome reflects that TREMFYA is the only IL-23 inhibitor proven to help stop further structural damage, offering patients with active PsA a first-line treatment option that provides effective symptom control and no new safety signals, while significantly inhibiting irreversible joint damage. "Joint damage associated with active psoriatic arthritis can happen as soon as six months after onset of disease, so it's important to have treatment solutions that can help provide daily symptom relief while also protecting joints from long-term structural damage," said Philip J. Mease,a M.D., Director of Rheumatology Research at the Swedish Medical Center/Providence St. Joseph Health and Clinical Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, WA. "With the inclusion of these findings in the label, we now have stronger clinical evidence that sets TREMFYA apart as a treatment option for patients with active psoriatic arthritis at risk for joint damage."The label update is supported by 24-week results from the Phase 3b APEX study. The study met its primary endpoint of reducing joint symptoms (ACR20) and its major secondary endpoint of inhibiting progression of structural damage, as measured by change in the PsA-modified van der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S) scoreb, compared to placebo in bio-naïve patients.1,2,3Additionally, for patients in the study's placebo group who switched to TREMFYA at Week 24, the rate of radiographic progression was reduced by 57% from Week 24 through Week 48, demonstrating benefit even after initial disease progression. Data from the APEX study were consistent with the well-established safety profile of TREMFYA, with no new safety signals identified.4"Up to half of all patients living with active psoriatic arthritis can develop early irreversible joint damage, leaving them unable to perform simple daily tasks or go to work," said Brandee Pappalardo, Ph.D., M.P.H., Vice President, Medical Affairs, Dermatology & Rheumatology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "This label update reinforces our commitment to advancing innovation for these patients by offering the only IL-23 inhibitor with structural inhibition in its label, making TREMFYA a differentiated treatment option for symptom relief and joint preservation that helps address the progressive nature of active psoriatic arthritis."TREMFYA is the only fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody approved to treat PsA that blocks IL-23 while also binding to CD64, a receptor on cells that produce IL-23. IL-23 is a cytokine secreted by activated monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells that is known to be a driver of immune-mediated diseases including active PsA, moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PsO), moderate to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). Findings are based on in vitro.5,6,7,8,9Editor's notes:

APEX is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with active PsA who are biologic naïve and have had an inadequate response to standard therapies (e.g., csDMARDs, apremilast, and/or NSAIDs). The treatment duration includes a 24-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by a 24-week active treatment period, followed by a 12-week safety follow-up period. For patients who agree to enter the long-term extension, an additional 2 years of active treatment is scheduled prior to the final safety follow-up.10ABOUT PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease characterized by peripheral joint inflammation, enthesitis (pain where the bone, tendon and ligament meet), dactylitis (a type of inflammation in the fingers and toes that can result in a swollen, sausage-like appearance), axial disease and the skin lesions associated with plaque psoriasis (PsO).11,12,13 The disease causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints; it commonly appears between the ages of 30 and 50, but can develop at any age.14 Nearly half of patients with PsA experience moderate fatigue and about one-third suffer from severe fatigue as measured by the modified fatigue severity scale.15 In patients with PsA, comorbidities such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, anxiety and depression are often present.16 Studies show up to 30% of people with plaque PsO also develop PsA.10ABOUT TREMFYA (guselkumab)
Developed by Johnson & Johnson, TREMFYA is the first approved fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize inflammation at the cellular source by blocking IL-23 and binding to CD64 (a receptor on cells that produce IL-23). Findings for dual-acting are limited to in vitro studies that demonstrate guselkumab binds to CD64, which is expressed on the surface of IL-23 producing cells in an inflammatory monocyte model. The clinical significance of this finding is not known.TREMFYA is a prescription medicine approved in the U.S. to treat:adults and children 6 years of age and older who also weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet or UV light).adults and children 6 years and older who also weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with active psoriatic arthritis.adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease.TREMFYA is approved in Europe, Canada, Japan, and a number of other countries for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis.The legal manufacturer for TREMFYA is Janssen Biotech, Inc.Johnson & Johnson maintains exclusive worldwide marketing rights to TREMFYA.

CNS Drug Delivery Technologies Are Reshaping Alzheimer's and Biodefense ResearchMay 13, 2026 9:00 AM
InvestorsHub NewsWireCNS Drug Delivery Technologies Are Reshaping Alzheimer's and Biodefense ResearchBioMedWire Editorial Coverage: Among the most guarded structures in human biology, the brain is also one of the hardest to treat. The blood-brain barrier ("BBB"), a specialized biological membrane, shields neural tissue from foreign substances, including most therapeutic agents. As cases of Alzheimer's disease climb worldwide and governments sharpen their focus on biodefense, the absence of efficient pathways for delivering drugs to the brain is fast becoming one of medicine's most pressing unresolved problems. Companies such as Oncotelic Therapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: OTLC) (Profile) are responding to this challenge with next-generation delivery platforms engineered to circumvent biological barriers and ensure direct, targeted access to the central nervous system ("CNS"). Oncotelic has developed a proprietary intranasal nose-to-brain ("N2B") system capable of rapidly shuttling therapeutics to the brain, a signal of growing industry consensus that delivery innovation, not merely drug discovery, will drive the next wave of breakthroughs in CNS medicine. Oncotelic joins a group of leading biopharma companies working in the biopharmaceutical and advanced therapeutics space, including Amgen Inc. (NASDAQ: AMGN), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), AbbVie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) and Lunai Bioworks Inc. (NASDAQ: LNAI).While the blood-brain barrier is vital for maintaining neurological health, it simultaneously creates a major obstacle for drug developers.Oncotelic Therapeutics is pursuing a position in a segment of the market focused on enabling faster, more reliable access to the brain.CNS drug delivery is not only a concern for chronic disease, it is also a strategic priority in the area of national security and biodefense.Designed as a device-enabled approach to direct CNS delivery, Oncotelic's N2B delivery system offers a potential alternative to traditional systemic or intramuscular routes.Oncotelic Therapeutics is building along these lines. Its focus on scalable, adaptable delivery infrastructure positions the company to pursue multiple CNS indications from a shared platform base.Click here to view the custom infographic of the Oncotelic Therapeutics editorial.Why the Blood-Brain Barrier Is So Difficult to OvercomeThe blood-brain barrier functions as a tightly regulated biological filter, shielding brain tissue from harmful substances traveling through the bloodstream. While this defense mechanism is vital for maintaining neurological health, it simultaneously creates a major obstacle for drug developers. Research shows that the BBB blocks the passage of most chemical compounds, permitting entry only to certain molecules that meet narrow size and chemistry criteria. The result is that even promising therapeutic candidates often fail to produce meaningful effects simply because they cannot reach the brain in sufficient concentrations.The scale of this problem is striking. Scientific consensus suggests that close to 98% of small-molecule drugs and virtually all biologic therapies are unable to cross the BBB effectively, making this a defining limitation in CNS pharmaceutical development. It also contributes disproportionately to clinical trial failures in neurology, compounds that show real therapeutic promise may nonetheless stumble in trials not because the drug is ineffective, but because it cannot reach its target.The downstream consequences reach across some of the most prevalent and devastating conditions in neurology, from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease to primary brain tumors. After decades of intensive research and massive capital investment, effective treatment options for many CNS disorders remain frustratingly scarce. The persistent failure to achieve adequate drug concentrations in the brain has slowed progress across the field, making the search for workable delivery solutions an urgent scientific and commercial priority.Within this context, Oncotelic Therapeutics is developing technologies specifically aimed at getting around these BBB limitations. A concrete marker of progress is the company's recent announcement that it has finalized a strategic monetization agreement with Lunai Bioworks, in which Oncotelic transferred rights to its N2B delivery system for defined applications in biodefense and Alzheimer's disease."Under the terms of the agreement, Oncotelic has granted Lunai Bioworks worldwide rights to the N2B delivery system IP portfolio within defined fields, specifically biodefense medical countermeasures and Alzheimer's disease only," the announcement stated. "The company continues to evaluate additional partnerships to further monetize its portfolio while maintaining strategic control over core assets."By treating delivery infrastructure as a core asset rather than a secondary consideration, Oncotelic is positioning itself within a broader industry move toward integrated solutions that attack the CNS delivery problem head-on.The Growing Weight of Alzheimer's, Neurological DiseaseThe worldwide toll of Alzheimer's disease and other similar forms of dementia is expanding at an alarming pace. According to the World Health Organization, some 57 million people are currently living with dementia globally, a figure projected to grow sharply in the decades ahead as aging populations increase. The human and economic costs of this expansion are substantial, placing mounting pressure on healthcare systems, families, and public finances.Despite this, therapeutic progress has moved slowly. The Alzheimer's Association notes that while researchers have made meaningful strides in understanding the disease at a molecular level, clinical translation has lagged. Drug candidates that look compelling in preclinical settings frequently falter in human trials, often because adequate therapeutic concentrations cannot be sustained within brain tissue, a problem that loops directly back to delivery.New developments across the biopharma landscape highlight both the promise and the stubborn limitations of current approaches. Therapies with demonstrated clinical signals still face ongoing scrutiny over whether effects are consistent and durable, and debates frequently return to the challenge of achieving reliable drug exposure in the brain. These dynamics  support the view that delivery remains one of the defining bottlenecks in CNS medicine.Against this backdrop, Oncotelic Therapeutics is pursuing a position in a segment of the market focused on enabling faster, more reliable access to the brain. By orienting its platform toward targeted and precision delivery, the company is placing itself within a space where solving the delivery problem could substantially improve results across a spectrum of neurodegenerative conditions.Biodefense and the Imperative for Fast CNS InterventionCNS drug delivery is not only a concern for chronic disease, it is also a strategic priority in the area of national security and biodefense. Certain chemical and biological threats act directly on the nervous system, and when they do, the window for effective intervention can be extremely narrow. In these high-stakes scenarios, how fast and how effectively a treatment reaches the brain can mean the difference between survival and catastrophic neurological damage.Federal agencies have taken notice. The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") plays a leading role in funding medical countermeasure development for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Defense has identified CNS injury treatment and neuroprotection as core research areas, a reflection of the operational importance of maintaining neurological function in personnel exposed to hazardous environments.These policy priorities converge on a shared need: Delivery systems that work fast, bypass conventional physiological obstacles, and ensure therapeutics arrive in the brain at concentrations sufficient to produce meaningful effects. When minutes matter, inefficient delivery translates directly into worsened outcomes.Oncotelic Therapeutics is navigating this landscape by exploring applications of its delivery technology that span both commercial medicine and government-funded biodefense programs. This dual-use potential, which is capable of addressing both civilian neurological diseases and emergency response needs, reflects a broader movement toward versatile platforms that can generate value across multiple high-impact markets.Nose-to-Brain Delivery Emerges as a Leading AlternativeWith conventional drug delivery approaches repeatedly running into BBB-related constraints, alternative methods that circumvent the barrier entirely are attracting growing scientific and commercial interest. Among them, intranasal, or "nose-to-brain," delivery has established itself as a particularly compelling option. This pathway leverages anatomical connections between the nasal passages and the brain to transport therapeutic agents directly into CNS tissue, bypassing the bloodstream altogether.Research highlights the capacity of intranasal delivery systems to meaningfully improve drug transport to the brain while keeping systemic exposure low. Evidence from multiple studies indicates that this approach can raise bioavailability and reduce adverse effects—a combination that makes it attractive for long-term use in neurological conditions where patients require sustained treatment.Industry analysis from Deloitte reinforces this trend, noting that CNS therapeutic innovation is shifting its center of gravity from new molecular entities toward delivery technologies. As pharmaceutical and biotech companies seek more consistent clinical outcomes, the ability to get drugs to the right place in the right amounts is increasingly the variable that separates success from failure.Oncotelic's N2B delivery system embodies this philosophy. Designed as a device-enabled approach to direct CNS delivery, it offers a potential alternative to traditional systemic or intramuscular routes. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, the platform is engineered to accelerate therapeutic onset and improve targeting of the neurological pathways implicated in both acute biodefense emergencies and chronic conditions like Alzheimer's disease.Platform Strategies Are Reshaping CNS InnovationThe trajectory of CNS drug development is moving away from single-asset bets and toward platform-based architectures that can support multiple therapies, indications and commercial pathways. Unlike conventional drug development models, platform approaches offer scalability and adaptability, both qualities particularly suited to an area such as CNS medicine, where diverse conditions often share the same core delivery challenges.Platform-based models allow companies to spread risk across multiple programs while building on a shared technological foundation. By engineering systems that can be configured for different drugs or conditions, developers create multiple routes to revenue while reducing overexposure to any single program's outcome. This structure also aligns naturally with the principles of precision medicine, in which targeted delivery is integral to achieving outcomes that are both effective and patient-specific.For investors, platform strategies carry a distinct appeal. They offer exposure across a range of markets, including neurodegenerative diseases and biodefense, while creating natural opportunities for partnerships, out-licensing, and monetization. This blend of near-term revenue potential with long-term pipeline value is especially compelling in a sector where timelines are long and the risk of any individual asset failing is high.Oncotelic Therapeutics is building along these lines. Its focus on scalable, adaptable delivery infrastructure positions the company to pursue multiple CNS indications from a shared platform base. By combining short-term monetization strategies, such as the Lunai Bioworks agreement, with longer-term development opportunities, the company reflects an industry-wide shift toward approaches that address both the scientific complexity and the commercial realities of the CNS space.The challenge of delivering drugs to the brain persists as one of the most consequential barriers in contemporary medicine. With Alzheimer's disease caseloads climbing and national attention focusing on biodefense, the demand for faster and more reliable CNS delivery solutions is intensifying. Meeting that demand will require progress not just in discovering new compounds but in reimagining how those compounds are transported to their targets.Companies working to overcome the blood-brain barrier and enable targeted, efficient brain delivery are staking out positions at the leading edge of a significant shift. Oncotelic Therapeutics is one participant in this broader movement, advancing platform-based approaches designed to expand what is therapeutically possible in CNS medicine. As the field continues to evolve, the capacity to deliver drugs reliably and precisely to the brain may well emerge as the central determinant of future medical progress.Biopharma Innovation Continues Advancing TherapeuticsThe biopharma and advanced therapeutics sector continues to see strong momentum as companies expand research pipelines, pursue strategic partnerships and accelerate development of next-generation treatments targeting complex diseases.

CAD is the leading cause of death globally, affecting an estimated 315 million people worldwide and approximately 1 in 20 adults over the age of 20 in the U.S.4,5,6 In CAD, progressive buildup of cholesterol deposits gradually narrows the vessels, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle and leading to chest pain (angina) and heart attacks. Over time, cholesterol deposits may accumulate calcium and harden, making them difficult to treat with conventional techniques. Further challenges arise in cases with tortuous arteries and severe calcification, which can prevent modification tools from navigating and crossing the lesion. “Shockwave C2 Aero makes it easier to navigate tortuous coronary anatomy without relying on additional upfront ancillary devices. That enhanced deliverability and efficiency can change IVL use and expand its role in treatment algorithms,” said Margaret McEntegart, M.D., Ph.D., Director of Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Program at Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital.7 “By continuing to address real unmet physician needs like deliverability, crossability and repositioning, Johnson & Johnson is pushing expectations for what the technology can achieve in complex PCI procedures.” Shockwave C2 Aero provides physicians with greater flexibility and efficiency in treatment strategy by:1 Enhancing deliverability through tight, tortuous arteries via more flexible shaft, balloon and marker bands. 1 Easing entry and crossing of dense calcified deposits with its tapered tip and new hydrophilic coating. 2 Allowing repositioning within the coronary anatomy to treat additional lesions due to the new balloon material designed for more compact deflation. 3 “In earlier iterations of the technology, physicians often had to rely on additional ancillary devices to achieve optimal positioning, and treatment was generally limited to a distal-to-proximal approach in coronary lesions,” said Benjamin Honton, M.D., Interventional Cardiologist at Clinique Pasteur, Toulouse, France.8 “The balloon rewrap capability of the Shockwave C2 Aero enables easier repositioning, allowing both proximal and distal movement within the vessel, as well as lesion recrossing when needed. This added flexibility facilitates the treatment of more complex patterns of calcification and supports more tailored pulse delivery strategies, including in multivessel disease, expanding what can be achieved with intravascular lithotripsy.” Shockwave C2 Aero has a working length of 138 centimeters and features two emitters encased in an integrated balloon that fire simultaneously up to 120 pulses, delivering up to 240 Shockwaves. Each Shockwave pulse creates ultrasonic acoustic pressure waves that pass through soft tissue and crack hardened calcium in place, helping to re-establish blood flow in the blocked artery. “We’re redefining standards for coronary IVL with more efficient and predictable overall procedures in challenging cases when it matters most,” said Isaac Zacharias, President, Shockwave Medical, MedTech, Johnson & Johnson. “As others prepare to enter the coronary IVL market, Johnson & Johnson is raising the bar with our fifth-generation platform built on years of physician feedback, sustained R&D advancements and robust clinical validation of our unique mechanism of action that reinforce our IVL leadership.” Shockwave C2 Aero is now available in the United States and Japan and will be available in Europe and Canada in the coming months. The next-generation coronary IVL technology will be featured in the booth from Shockwave Medical, part of Johnson & Johnson, at EuroPCR 2026 taking place in Paris, France from May 19-22, 2026.

Johnson & Johnson study shows TREMFYA® (guselkumab) is the first and only IL-23 inhibitor to demonstrate efficacy in perianal fistulizing Crohn's diseaseMay 5, 2026 8:05 AM
PR Newswire (US) TREMFYA® demonstrated significantly higher rates of combined fistula remission – complete external closure of draining fistulas and absence of fluid collection on MRI – compared to placebo at Week 24First study of its kind in 20 years for this debilitating manifestation of Crohn's disease presented as late-breaking data at Digestive Disease Week 2026CHICAGO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced results from the Phase 3 FUZION study evaluating TREMFYA® (guselkumab) in adults with active perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (CD). At Week 24, TREMFYA demonstrated significantly higher rates of combined fistula remission, a highly stringent endpoint defined as complete external closure of draining fistulas and absence of fluid collection on MRI, compared to placebo.1 Remission in patients with this complicated manifestation remains difficult to achieve, and this is the first randomized control trial of an approved therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that demonstrates efficacy in adults with active perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease in 20 years. These late-breaking data are among the 32 company-sponsored abstracts at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026. Key findings from the FUZION study
TREMFYA met the primary endpoint of combined fistula remission at Week 24, defined as complete closure of all external fistula openings with no drainage, without development of new fistulas and no evidence of underlying fluid collections on MRI.a Combined fistula remission was achieved by 28.3% of patients receiving TREMFYA 100 mg every 8 weeks (q8w) and 27.0% of patients receiving TREMFYA 200 mg every 4 weeks (q4w), compared with 10.3% for placebo.The treatment differences versus placebo were statistically significant for both the 100 mg q8w and 200 mg q4w dosing regimens (p=0.007 and p=0.013, respectively). Adverse events through 24 weeks were consistent with the known safety profile of TREMFYA in CD."The pain, swelling and persistent drainage associated with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease can be profoundly disruptive to patients' daily lives," said Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet, MD, PhD, study investigator.b "Achieving durable fistula closure without repeated surgical interventions remains a significant unmet need. The results from the FUZION study demonstrate the ability of TREMFYA to achieve combined fistula remission, which is an exciting step forward for patients, expanding what's possible for managing this debilitating and chronic condition.""It has been more than two decades since a highly rigorous study has been dedicated to perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease, a very difficult-to-treat and complex manifestation of this already challenging condition," said Ludovic de Beaucoudrey, PhD, J&J Innovative Medicine Vice President, Immunology, Global Medical Affairs, Gastroenterology and Autoantibody. "Building on decades of experience in immunology, Johnson & Johnson continues to address areas of significant unmet need, and the FUZION study reflects our commitment to delivering meaningful, evidence-based advances for patients and the healthcare providers who care for them."Addressing a significant unmet need in perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease
A fistula is an abnormal connection or tunnel that develops between the intestine and another organ or the skin, typically arising when inflammation causes ulceration in the intestinal wall or surrounding tissue. Over time, these ulcers may penetrate the full thickness of the bowel, forming a channel that allows infected material to drain. Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease affects nearly 25% of patients with CD and represents a severe, often debilitating manifestation of the disease that has profound impacts on a person's physical and mental health.2,3 It is characterized by pain, swelling, persistent drainage, recurrent abscesses, and a frequent need for surgical intervention.As another example of this commitment for evidence-based advances for CD patients and providers, Johnson & Johnson is also initiating the CHARGE study, the first head-to-head study of IL-23 inhibitors in IBD, which will evaluate TREMFYA compared to risankizumab in treatment of Crohn's disease. Trial sites are now open for patient enrollment. For more information, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.With the addition of the results from the breakthrough Phase 2b DUET studies in CD and UC, Johnson & Johnson products were featured in three late-breaking abstracts at DDW.4,5 For a full list of all Johnson & Johnson data being presented at DDW visit: https://www.jnj.com/innovativemedicine/immunology/gastroenterology.Editor's Notes: a. Defined as >2cm of the perianal fistulas in at least two of three dimensions, confirmed by a blinded central review of the MRI results.

FUZION is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter, Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TREMFYA in adults with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease. Patients enrolled in the study had one or more active draining perianal fistulas confirmed by blinded central MRI review, CD Activity Index [CDAI]

Johnson & Johnson investigational co-antibody therapy JNJ-4804 shows potential to raise the bar for clinical efficacy in treating refractory inflammatory bowel diseaseMay 5, 2026 8:05 AM
PR Newswire (US) JNJ-4804 demonstrated highest rates of clinical and endoscopic outcomes compared to golimumab and guselkumab in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who have had inadequate response to two or more systemic therapy classesJNJ-4804 is the first and only fixed dose co-antibody designed to deliver molecular synergy in IBD by blocking the complementary IL-23 and TNF pathwaysData from Phase 2b DUET studies show potential to address a critical unmet need and support advancement to Phase 3 trialsCHICAGO, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced Phase 2b data from two studies evaluating JNJ-4804, an investigational co-antibody therapy targeting both interleukin-23 (IL-23) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease (CD) that is refractory to systemic therapies.1,2 The late-breaking presentations from the DUET-UC and DUET-CD studies were among the 32 company-sponsored abstracts being presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2026. In both studies at Week 48, JNJ-4804 showed meaningful improvements across multiple clinical and endoscopic measures for a subpopulation of patients who are considered highly refractory and have had inadequate response to two or more systemic therapy classes.DUET-CD study
In the overall population, JNJ-4804a demonstrated higher clinical remissionb rates (50.8%) and endoscopic responsec rates (38.1%) versus golimumab (25.4% for clinical remission, 19.8% for endoscopic response) at Week 48. The JNJ-4804 rates were also numerically higher than the rates achieved with guselkumab (42.5% for clinical remission and 33.9% for endoscopic response). In the highly refractory subpopulation of patients with CD who have had inadequate response to two or more systemic therapy classes, JNJ-4804 showed clinically meaningful improvements at Week 48 across multiple clinical and endoscopic endpoints compared to golimumab and guselkumab monotherapies, and placebo. Clinical remission rates for JNJ-4804 were nearly double the highest comparator and more than 60% higher in endoscopic response rate."Despite many treatment advances for Crohn's disease over the past two decades, many patients do not achieve long-term disease control with the currently available options, even after trying multiple monotherapies with different classes," said Bruce E. Sands, MD, MS, Dr. Burrill B. Crohn Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine, and Chief, Division of the Dr. Henry D. Janowitz Division of Gastroenterology at Mount Sinai Health System and presenting author of the DUET-CD study. "The results from DUET-CD are particularly promising because they show meaningful clinical and endoscopic improvements in patients who have exhausted existing options."DUET-UC study
In the overall population, JNJ-4804a demonstrated superior clinical remissiond rates compared to golimumab, with 41.0% of JNJ-4804-treated patients achieving clinical remission at Week 48 versus golimumab (11.5%), and numerically higher rates than guselkumab (34.0%).In the highly refractory subpopulation of patients with UC who have had inadequate response to two or more systemic therapy classes, JNJ-4804 showed clinically meaningful improvements at Week 48 across multiple clinical and endoscopic endpoints compared to golimumab and guselkumab monotherapies, and placebo, with the clinical remission rate for JNJ-4804 being almost 60% higher than the closest comparator."There is a major unmet need for patients who either don't respond or are no longer responding to current UC treatments," said Dr. Maria Abreu, Executive Director of the F. Widjaja Inflammatory Bowel Disease Institute at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles and presenting author of DUET-UC. "The ongoing symptoms patients face when their UC is uncontrolled can profoundly impact their lives. The improvements we saw in DUET-UC are very encouraging, offering a potential new approach for patients with few options for long-term disease control." In both studies, safety findings were generally consistent with the known profiles of the component monotherapies.Addressing an unmet need in refractory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
Inflammatory bowel disease, including UC and CD, affects millions of people worldwide. While advances in biologics and targeted therapies have improved outcomes for many patients, many individuals either no longer respond or lose response over time.3 It is common for patients to cycle through multiple therapies while experiencing diminishing efficacy, leading to persistent symptoms such as abdominal pain, urgency, and bleeding. Ongoing inflammation can lead to irreversible bowel damage, hospitalization, and surgeries.4 These challenges highlight a critical need for new treatments that can deliver meaningful disease control for patients who have been refractory to treatment with monotherapies. "Inflammatory bowel disease involves multiple inflammatory pathways, which may help explain why some patients don't respond or lose response to existing monotherapies," said Esi Lamousé Smith, M.D., Ph.D., Vice President, Gastroenterology Disease Area Lead, Immunology, Johnson & Johnson. "By targeting the orthogonal pathways of IL-23 and TNFa, JNJ-4804 yields a synergistic therapeutic approach. The results from the DUET studies highlight its potential to change the treatment landscape."Based on results from the Phase 2b DUET studies, Johnson & Johnson will be initiating the Phase 3 DUET ENCORE-CD trial in adults with moderately to severely active CD as well as the Phase 3 DUET ENCORE-UC trial in adults with moderately to severely active UC.With these data, in addition to results from the Phase 3 FUZION study of TREMFYA® (guselkumab) in perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease, Johnson & Johnson therapies account for three late-breaking abstracts featured at DDW.5(Dr. Bruce E. Sands and Dr. Maria Abreau are paid consultants for Johnson & Johnson. They have not been compensated for any media work).For a full list of all Johnson & Johnson data being presented at DDW visit:  https://www.jnj.com/innovativemedicine/immunology/gastroenterology.Editor's Notes: a. Data represents the JNJ-4804 high dose group.
b. Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score of 50% improvement from baseline in SES-CD or an SES-CD ≤2, as assessed by central endoscopy reading.
d. Clinical remission was defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1, a rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1 per central review of the video endoscopy. About the DUET-UC and DUET-CD studies
The DUET-UC (ulcerative colitis) and DUET-CD (Crohn's disease) studies are randomized, double-blind, dose-ranging Phase 2b studies comparing JNJ-4804 with placebo and active comparators, including guselkumab and golimumab. Patients enrolled in both studies had moderately to severely active disease with inadequate response or intolerance to one or more systemic therapy classes, including biologics and targeted oral therapies. Approximately half of participants in each study had previously experienced inadequate response to two or more therapy classes, representing a highly treatment-experienced population. The Phase 2b DUET clinical program builds on earlier proof-of-concept findings from the Phase 2a VEGA study and is intended to inform potential registrational trials.6,7,8The primary endpoint of DUET-UC was clinical remission at Week 48. Key secondary endpoints included corticosteroid-free clinical remission, endoscopic improvement, histologic remission and endoscopic improvement (HREI) at Week 48.1 The co-primary endpoints of DUET-CD were clinical remission at Week 48 and endoscopic response at Week 48. Key endpoints included endoscopic remission, deep remission and corticosteroid-free clinical remission at Week 48.2  About JNJ-4804
JNJ-4804 is an investigational co-antibody therapy designed to target both interleukin-23 (IL-23) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), two inflammatory pathways involved in chronic immune-mediated diseases. JNJ-4804 is a fixed-dose combination of two proven therapies, guselkumab and golimumab, in a single, subcutaneous (SC) injection. JNJ-4804 is being studied in the Phase 2b DUET clinical program in inflammatory bowel disease and the Phase 2a AFFINITY study in active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). About Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucus. It is the result of the immune system's overactive response. Symptoms vary but may typically include loose and more urgent bowel movements, rectal bleeding or bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue. Currently there is no cure available for UC. 9About Crohn's Disease 
Crohn's disease is one of the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease, which affects an estimated three million Americans and an estimated four million people across Europe.10,11 Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract with no known cause, but the disease is associated with abnormalities of the immune system that could be triggered by a genetic predisposition, diet, or other environmental factors.12 Symptoms of Crohn's disease can vary, but often include abdominal pain and tenderness, frequent diarrhea, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fever. Currently no cure is available for Crohn's disease.13ABOUT TREMFYA® (guselkumab)
Developed by Johnson & Johnson, TREMFYA is the first fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize inflammation at the cellular source by blocking IL-23 and binding to CD64 (a receptor on cells that produce IL-23). Findings for the dual-acting mechanism are limited to in vitro  studies that demonstrate guselkumab binds to CD64, which is expressed on the surface of IL-23 producing cells in an inflammatory monocyte model. The clinical significance of this finding is not known. TREMFYA is a prescription medicine approved in the U.S. to treat: adults and children 6 years and older who also weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who may?benefit?from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet or UV light).?adults and children 6 years and older who also weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with active psoriatic arthritis.?adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.?adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. ? ?TREMFYA is approved in Europe, Canada, Japan, and?a number of?other countries for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, adults with active psoriatic arthritis, adults with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease and adults with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.?The legal manufacturer for TREMFYA is Janssen Biotech, Inc.  Johnson & Johnson maintains exclusive worldwide marketing rights to TREMFYA.

FDA grants Priority Review for IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) as the potential first approved treatment for people living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA)April 27, 2026 8:03 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Priority Review is granted to medicines that may offer significant improvements in safety or effectiveness for serious conditions like warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a life-threatening disease in which pathogenic immunoglobulin G autoantibodies attach to and destroy red blood cells, leading to debilitating anemiaIMAAVY is designed to target the underlying cause of warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia by reducing circulating immunoglobulin G, including autoantibodies, while preserving critical immune functions Pivotal study showed rapid and durable hemoglobin responsea and fatigue improvementb compared to placebo in patients with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemiaSPRING HOUSE, Pa., April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Priority Review to the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu),c confirming the urgent need for treatment options in warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA). Priority Review is granted to medicines that may offer significant improvements in safety or effectiveness for serious conditions and shortens the FDA review timeline to approximately six months.1 IMAAVY is the first therapy to receive FDA Priority Review for this condition.







"Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a severe disease in which pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, also called autoantibodies, drive destruction of red blood cells. Currently, patients depend on broad immunosuppressive therapies that fail to address the underlying cause of disease and are not approved as safe or effective to treat wAIHA," said Leonard L. Dragone, M.D., Ph.D., Disease Area Leader, Autoantibody and Rheumatology, Johnson & Johnson. "This designation highlights both the serious, life-threatening nature of wAIHA and the potential for IMAAVY, if approved, to help address a critical unmet need by delivering clinically meaningful outcomes for patients."IMAAVY is designed to block the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing circulating IgG, including pathogenic autoantibodies, while preserving key immune functions.2,3 By targeting the underlying driver of disease, IMAAVY utilizes a differentiated immunoselective approach in a condition where many patients currently rely on therapies that are unapproved for wAIHA, including corticosteroids and broad immunosuppressants.4The FDA's decision to grant Priority Review is supported by results from the pivotal Phase 2/3 ENERGY study, which showed that more patients treated with IMAAVY achieved a durable hemoglobin responsea compared with placebo, along with improvements in fatigue,b a critical outcome for people living with wAIHA.5 The full results of the ENERGY trial will be presented at an upcoming medical conference.Nipocalimab is being studied across multiple auto- and alloantibody-driven diseases as part of Johnson & Johnson's broader commitment to advancing transformational immunology therapies.Editor's Notes: a. Durable hemoglobin response = hemoglobin concentration ≥10 g/dL and an increase from baseline in hemoglobin ≥2 g/dL for at least 28 days
b. As measured by Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) Scale
c. IMAAVY is not approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of wAIHAABOUT THE ENERGY TRIAL
ENERGY (NCT04119050) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of nipocalimab compared with placebo, followed by an open-label extension period, in adults living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA).5ABOUT WARM AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA (wAIHA)
Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is a rare, life-threatening condition where autoantibodies attach to and destroy red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in anemia. Approximately 1-3 new people per 100,000 are affected by wAIHA per year, and about 1 in 8,000 individuals are living with the condition.4,6 This condition affects both women and men, and can affect people at any age with incidence increasing over the age of 50.7,8 Additionally, people with wAIHA are at increased risk of other serious complications such as venous thrombotic events, acute renal failure, and infection.9There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs indicated for wAIHA, and treatment typically consists of unapproved corticosteroids, broad immunosuppressants, and B-cell directed therapies.4 With an unmet need for treatment in wAIHA, novel therapies like nipocalimab are being developed to potentially address this need.8ABOUT IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)
IMAAVY is an immunoselective treatment designed to target, bind with high affinity, and block the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), reducing circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies that drive disease while also preserving key immune functions. IMAAVY is currently approved for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive.10Nipocalimab is being investigated across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rheumatologic diseases, Rare Autoantibody diseases, and Maternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies, in which blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus.11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including:  EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) in October 2019 and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in April 2025U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in HDFN and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, gMG in December 2021, FNAIT in March 2024, Sjögren's disease (SjD) in March 2025, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in January 2026U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, gMG in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for SjD in November 2024  U.S. FDA granted Priority Review in gMG in Q4 2024 and wAIHA in Q2 2026The legal manufacturer for IMAAVY is Janssen Biotech, Inc.WHAT IS IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)?
IMAAVY is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older with a disease called generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) or anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive.It is not known if IMAAVY is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age.IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION What is the most important information I should know about IMAAVY?IMAAVY is a prescription medicine that may cause serious side effects, including:Infections are a common side effect of IMAAVY that can be serious.

Johnson & Johnson’s IMAAVY Demonstrates Durable Disease Control in Myasthenia GravisApril 22, 2026 8:49 AM
IH Market News
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) has reported new data from its Phase 3 Vivacity-MG3 trial showing that its therapy IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu) sustained disease control in adults with generalized myasthenia gravis over a follow-up period of up to 120 weeks.The study followed 153 patients who tested positive for disease-related antibodies, including anti-AChR and anti-MuSK. At the 96-week mark in the open-label extension phase, patients treated with IMAAVY recorded average improvements of 6.47 points on the MG-ADL scale and 5.97 points on the QMG scale, both key measures of symptom severity and muscle function.Around half of participants achieved minimal symptom expression, with nearly one-third maintaining this level for at least eight weeks. In addition, 57% of patients reduced corticosteroid use to 10 mg per day or less, while total immunoglobulin G levels fell by more than 64%.A post-hoc analysis from the 24-week double-blind phase showed that patients receiving IMAAVY alongside standard treatment were four times more likely to reach sustained minimal symptom expression compared to those given a placebo. Those maintaining this level of disease control also reported greater improvements in quality of life.“These long-term results, now extending to beyond two years, provide further evidence that disease control can be sustained,” said Constantine Farmakidis, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Kansas Medical Center.Johnson & Johnson also confirmed that its EPIC trial—comparing IMAAVY with efgartigimod in patients who have not previously received an FcRn blocker—is currently enrolling participants.The company presented the findings as part of seven abstracts at the American Academy of Neurology 2026 Annual Meeting in Chicago. IMAAVY is already approved for treating generalized myasthenia gravis in adults and in patients aged 12 and older who are positive for AChR or MuSK antibodies.Johnson & Johnson stock price

IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu) shows over two years of sustained disease control in a broad population with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)April 22, 2026 8:05 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Through 120 weeks of follow-up, IMAAVY delivered sustained clinical improvements and reductions in total IgG in antibody-positive adult patients including anti-AChR+ and anti-MuSK+Patients achieving sustained minimal symptom expression (MSE) experienced greater improvements in quality of life than those with transient MSE in a post-hoc analysis of the Phase 3 studyEPIC, the first head-to-head study of IMAAVY versus another FcRn blocker in generalized myasthenia gravis, is now enrolling participantsHORSHAM, Pa., April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced new data from the Phase 3 Vivacity-MG3 study and ongoing open label extension (OLE) in a broad population of antibody-positive (including anti-AChR+a and anti-MuSK+b) adults with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) reinforcing the efficacy, sustained disease control and proven safety profile of IMAAVY® (nipocalimab-aahu). These data are among the seven abstracts Johnson & Johnson is presenting at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2026 Meeting in Chicago, Illinois.







"For people living with gMG, consistent and durable symptom control is the central goal of treatment," said Constantine Farmakidis, MD, Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Kansas Medical Centerc. "These long-term results, now extending to beyond two years, provide further evidence that disease control, as initially observed in the nipocalimab Phase 3 pivotal study, can be sustained, and add to the body of evidence that may help guide clinical decision-making."Sustained disease control is a key treatment objective in gMG, as long-term maintenance of low disease activity can help prevent exacerbations, reduce treatment burden and support meaningful function outcomes.i In addition, new post-hoc analyses explore the clinical relevance of sustained minimal symptom expression (MSE), an emerging patient-centric treatment goal that reflects minimal day-to-day disease impact for people living with gMG.iiLong-Term Data from OLE PhaseiiiAfter the 24-week double-blind phase of the study, patients entered the ongoing OLE phase, with the latest results reflecting a total of 120 weeks of observation – among the longest follow-up periods reported for any FcRn blocker study in gMG. At 96 weeks in the OLE, IMAAVY demonstrated:Sustained improvements in MG-ADLd and QMGe scores over time, with mean reductions of 6.47f points on the total MG-ADL and 5.97f points on the total QMG scales – measures of MG symptom impact on daily living and muscle strength.Half of patients achieved MSE and nearly one-third (32%) achieved sustained MSE for at least 8 weeks on IMAAVY treatment.Incremental reduction of corticosteroid use was also observed through the OLE, with 57% of patients reaching low doses of ≤10 or ≤5 mg/day.Greater than 64%f reduction in total immunoglobulin G (IgG), including pathogenic IgG autoantibodies, the underlying driver of disease.Minimal Symptom Expression Data from Double-Blind PhaseivA new post-hoc analysis from the 24-week double-blind portion of the study evaluated the impact of sustained MSE on quality of life (based on MG-QoL-15rg measure):Adults who received IMAAVY plus standard of care (SOC)h were four times more likely to reach sustained MSE, defined as achieving an MG-ADL score of 0 or 1 and maintaining it for at least 8 weeks, compared to those randomized to placebo.Patients who reached this level and sustainment of symptom control had the largest gains in day-to-day quality of life, compared with those with improvements that were not similarly sustained, or among those who did not attain MSE."As demonstrated in our pivotal trial, IMAAVY was shown to deliver sustained disease control in a broad population of people living with gMG, helping to address a critical unmet need," said Chris Gasink, MD, Vice President, Medical Affairs, Autoantibody & Gastroenterology, Johnson & Johnson. "These data reinforce our confidence in IMAAVY and our commitment to delivering treatments that can help more people living with gMG achieve meaningful, lasting disease control."Additionally, Johnson & Johnson previously announced plans to initiate EPIC in 2025, the first open-label study designed to compare FcRn blockers in adults with gMG who have never received an FcRn blocker. The study, comparing the efficacy of IMAAVY versus efgartigimod, is now enrolling participants. For a full list of all Johnson & Johnson data being presented at AAN 2026 visit: https://www.jnj.com/innovativemedicine/neuroscience/myasthenia-gravis.Editor's Notes:a.AChR+ = anti-acetylcholine receptor positive antibodyb.MUsK+ = anti-muscle specific tyrosine kinase positive antibodyc.Constantine Farmakidis, MD, has provided consulting, advisory, and speaking services to Johnson & Johnson.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoantibody disease in which the immune system mistakenly makes antibodies (e.g., anti-acetylcholine receptor [AChR], anti-muscle-specific tyrosine kinase [MuSK]), which target proteins at the neuromuscular junction and can block or disrupt normal signaling from nerves to muscles, thus impairing or preventing muscle contraction.ix,x,xi The disease impacts an estimated 700,000 people worldwide.vii The disease affects both men and women and occurs across all ages, racial and ethnic groups, but most frequently starts in young women and older men.xii Roughly 50 percent of individuals diagnosed with MG are women, and about one in five of those women are of child-bearing potential.xiii,xiv,xv Approximately 10 to 15% of new cases of MG are diagnosed in pediatric patients 12-17 years of age.xvi,xvii,xviii Among juvenile MG patients, girls are affected more often than boys with over 65% of pediatric MG cases in the U.S. diagnosed in girls.xix,xx,xxiInitial disease manifestations are usually eye-related but approximately 85% of MG patients experience additional advancements to the disease manifestations, referred to as generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). This is characterized by severe muscle weakness and difficulties in speech and swallowing.xxii,xxiii,xxiv,xxv,xxvi Approximately 100,000 individuals in the U.S. are living with gMG.xxvii Vulnerable gMG populations, such as pediatric patients, have more limited therapeutic options.xxviiiABOUT THE PHASE 3 VIVACITY-MG3 STUDY
The Phase 3 Vivacity-MG3 study (NCT04951622) was specifically designed to measure sustained efficacy and safety with consistent dosing in this unpredictable chronic condition where unmet need remains high. Antibody positive or negative adult gMG patients with insufficient response (MG-ADL ≥6) to ongoing SOC therapy were identified and 199 patients, 153 of whom were antibody positive, enrolled in the 24-week double-blind placebo-controlled trial.xxix,xxx Randomization was 1:1, nipocalimab plus current SOC (30 mg/kg IV loading dose followed by 15 mg/kg every two weeks) or placebo plus current SOC.xxvii Baseline demographics were balanced across arms (77 nipocalimab, 76 placebo).xxvii The primary efficacy endpoint was the comparison of the mean change from baseline to Weeks 22, 23, and 24 between treatment groups in the MG-ADL total score.xxvii A key secondary endpoint included change in Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis (QMG) score. Long-term safety and efficacy were further assessed in an ongoing open-label extension (OLE) phase.xxviiiABOUT IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)
IMAAVY is an immunoselective treatment designed to target, bind with high affinity, and block FcRn, reducing circulating IgG antibodies that drive disease while also preserving key immune functions. IMAAVY is currently approved for the treatment of gMG in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older who are AChR or MuSK antibody positive.xxxiNipocalimab is being investigated across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rheumatologic diseases, Rare Autoantibody diseases, and Maternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies, in which blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus.xxxii,xxxiii,xxxiv,xxxv,xxxvi,xxxvii,xxxviii,xxxix,xlThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including:  EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for HDFN in October 2019 and FNAIT in April 2025U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, gMG in December 2021, fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in March 2024, Sjögren's disease (SjD) in March 2025, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in January 2026U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, gMG in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for SjD in November 2024  U.S. FDA granted Priority Review in gMG in Q4 2024The legal manufacturer for IMAAVY is Janssen Biotech, Inc.WHAT IS IMAAVY (nipocalimab-aahu)?

Johnson & Johnson Showcases CARTO-Powered Innovation, Including Debut of CARTOSOUND SONATA, to Advance Arrhythmia Care at HRS 2026April 21, 2026 7:45 AM
Business Wire
As Johnson & Johnson celebrates 30 years of CARTO, the launch of CARTOSOUND SONATA brings new AI-based imaging and mapping capabilitiesi to electrophysiology


A total of 17 abstracts will be presented, including new clinical data for the VARIPULSE Platform


Johnson & Johnson today announced it will showcase the latest advances across its electrophysiology portfolio at the 2026 Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) Annual Meeting, including new evidence in pulsed field ablation (PFA), and innovations in cardiac mapping and imaging.


At HRS 2026, the company will launch the CARTOSOUND SONATA Module, leveraging artificial intelligence with the CARTO System to automatically transform intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) images into detailed maps, allowing physicians to build accurate models of multiple heart chambersi,ii,iii,1. The module also enables identification and automatic labeling of cardiac structuresii,iii.


CARTOSOUND SONATA seamlessly integrates with both SOUNDSTAR CRYSTAL (2D ICE) and NUVISION NAV (4D ICE) ultrasound cathetersiv, enabling physicians to plan and perform treatment across a range of heart rhythm conditions, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and complex concomitant proceduresii,iii.


“In my experience, CARTOSOUND SONATA elevates imaging capabilities by streamlining the process of building detailed maps of the heart across multiple chambersi using both 2D and 4D ICE technologiesiv,v, even during the most complex concomitant procedures,ii,iii” said Luigi Di Biase2, MD, PhD, FACC, FHRS, System Director Electrophysiology at Montefiore Health System, Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Montefiore Hospital. “This new module continues to demonstrate the power and versatility of the CARTO System and is a clear example of its continued evolution as a key platform in electrophysiology.”


2026 also marks the 30th anniversary of the CARTO System. At HRS, Johnson & Johnson will celebrate how decades of innovation have helped shape modern electrophysiology. From early electroanatomical mapping to today’s integrated AI-powered capabilities, CARTO remains foundational to how electrophysiologists approach arrhythmia care. It serves as a central platform that connects technologies across the electrophysiology portfolio and is designed to evolve alongside clinical practice.


“For 30 years, the CARTO System has led progress in electrophysiology, serving as the foundation of a connected platform that brings together imaging, mapping, and therapy. Looking into the future, we are decisively moving forward with continuous advancements toward new frontiers in cardiac mapping,” said Michael Bodner, Company Group Chair, Electrophysiology & Neurovascular, MedTech, Johnson & Johnson. “As we introduce CARTOSOUND SONATA and continue to progress our PFA technologies, we remain committed to innovation that improves how arrhythmias are understood and treated, while evolving and pushing what’s possible in AFib care.”


At HRS 2026, Johnson & Johnson will present new clinical and real-world data on the VARIPULSE Platform for atrial fibrillation, highlighting safety, workflow efficiency, and real-world patient outcomesvi,vii,viii. Fully integrated with the CARTO System, VARIPULSE delivers precise, efficient, and reproducible treatment outcomesix,x,xi. In the U.S., the latest VARIPULSE Plus update introduces automated irrigation flow control, reinforcing the platform’s safety profile and supporting procedural consistency and physician confidencexii,xiii. Building on this advancement, the company recently launched the VARIPULSE Pro3 platform in Europe with a new pulse sequence to streamline procedures and enhance workflow efficiencyxiv,xv.
