Janssen to Present Data from its Robust Oncology Portfolio and Pipeline at the 24th EHA Annual Congress

The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson have announced the latest research to be presented at the 24th European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Congress taking place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 13–16 June 2019. Janssen will present 28 company-sponsored abstracts from its leading haematological malignancy portfolio at the congress, including the latest results for DARZALEX® (daratumumab) and IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib).

“With more than 11,000 attendees, EHA is the premier congress for the latest innovations in haematology in Europe and Janssen is proud to be presenting important data from our clinical development programmes,” said Dr Patrick Laroche, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Haematology Therapeutic Area Lead, Janssen-Cilag France. “We are committed to changing outcomes and improving options for patients diagnosed with cancer. Therefore, we are pleased to present results from the daratumumab CASSIOPEIA study, which has been selected for inclusion in the Presidential Symposium. We are also encouraged by the five-year ibrutinib RESONATETM -2 follow-up findings, which provide longer-term evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of this BTK inhibitor in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.”

Highlights of the data to be presented by Janssen include:

First-Time Daratumumab Data in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma, and its Investigational Subcutaneous Formulation 1,2
Fourteen daratumumab abstracts have been selected for presentation at the EHA Annual Congress this year, four of which will be featured in oral sessions. Notably, results from the Phase 3 CASSIOPEIA study evaluating daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma who are transplant eligible have been selected for presentation as part of the Presidential Symposium (Abstract #S145 ).1 The Presidential Symposium includes the six best abstracts of the Congress, reflecting ground-breaking research as chosen by the Scientific Program Committee. These data recently supported regulatory filings in both the European Union and the U.S. , seeking to expand the current indication for daratumumab in the frontline setting.

Findings from the Phase 3 COLUMBA study will be presented (Abstract #S823 ) evaluating a daratumumab subcutaneous formulation in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.2

Ibrutinib Long-Term Data in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia 3
Results from the final analysis of the Phase 3 RESONATETM -2 study (PCYC-1115/1116) study evaluating ibrutinib monotherapy in previously untreated patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) will be presented in an oral session (Abstract #S107 ).3 Ibrutinib, a once daily oral BTK inhibitor, is jointly developed and commercialised by Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company.3

Select company-sponsored abstracts follow below. Abstracts for additional Janssen therapies will also be presented and can be found through the EHA abstract database here .

About daratumumab
Daratumumab is a first-in-class22 biologic targeting CD38, a surface protein that is highly expressed across multiple myeloma cells, regardless of disease stage.23 Daratumumab is believed to induce tumour cell death through multiple immune-mediated mechanisms of action, including complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), as well as through apoptosis, in which a series of molecular steps in a cell lead to its death.24 A subset of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (CD38+ MDSCs), CD38+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and CD38+ B cells (Bregs) were decreased by daratumumab.26 Daratumumab is being evaluated in a comprehensive clinical development programme across a range of treatment settings in multiple myeloma, such as in frontline and relapsed settings.25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32 Additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess its potential in other malignant and pre-malignant haematologic diseases in which CD38 is expressed, such as smouldering myeloma.33,34 For more information, please see www.clinicaltrials.gov .

For further information on daratumumab, please see the Summary of Product Characteristics at https://www.ema.europa.eu/documents/product-information/darzalex-epar-product-information_en.pdf .

In August 2012 , Janssen Biotech, Inc. and Genmab A/S entered a worldwide agreement, which granted Janssen an exclusive licence to develop, manufacture and commercialise daratumumab.35

About ibrutinib
Ibrutinib is a first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, which works by forming a strong covalent bond with BTK to block the transmission of cell survival signals within the malignant B-cells.36 By blocking this BTK protein, ibrutinib decreases survival and migration of B lymphocytes, thereby delaying the progression of the cancer.37

Ibrutinib is currently approved in Europe for:38

  • Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): As a single agent for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated CLL, and as a single agent or in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) for the treatment of adult patients with CLL who have received at least one prior therapy.
  • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL): Adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
  • Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM): Adult patients who have received at least one prior therapy or in first-line treatment for patients unsuitable for chemoimmunotherapy.

Ibrutinib is approved in more than 90 countries, and, to date, has been used to treat more than 140,000 patients worldwide across its approved indications.

The most common adverse reactions seen with ibrutinib include diarrhoea, neutropenia, haemorrhage (e.g. bruising), musculoskeletal pain, nausea, rash, and pyrexia.38

For a full list of side effects and information on dosage and administration, contraindications and other precautions when using ibrutinib please refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics for further information.
