FDA approval based on Phase 3 data demonstrating statistically significant improvements in progression‑free survival and overall survival versus standard of care regimens
"The newly approved TECVAYLI plus DARZALEX FASPRO treatment regimen, in which both drugs are administered subcutaneously, offers patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma a new, effective treatment option that can be administered across all treatment settings. DARZALEX FASPRO, incorporating the ENHANZE technology, continues to set new standards in multiple myeloma treatment and outcomes," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Halozyme
The approval is based on data from the Phase 3 MajesTEC-3 study, an ongoing, Phase 3 randomized study evaluating the safety and efficacy of teclistamab plus daratumumab versus investigator's choice of daratumumab and dexamethasone with either pomalidomide or bortezomib in patients with RRMM who have received at least one prior line of therapy. TECVAYLI® in combination with DARZALEX FASPRO® demonstrated statistically significant improvements in PFS and OS in patients with RRMM compared to standard treatment after a median follow-up of three years in patients with RRMM. Results show an
