Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has revealed groundbreaking data for its TAR-200 bladder cancer treatment at the AUA 2025 Annual Meeting. The Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study demonstrated the highest complete response with sustained benefits in treating high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC).
TAR-200, an intravesical gemcitabine releasing system, has shown promising results for patients with BCG-unresponsive HR-NMIBC. The treatment is administered directly into the bladder through a brief outpatient procedure, requiring no anesthesia. To date, TAR-200 has been placed over 10,000 times in clinical trials.
The presentation highlights include 12-month duration response data from Cohort 2 and first results from Cohort 4 of the Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study. This innovation represents a significant advancement in bladder cancer treatment, which has remained largely unchanged for over 40 years, potentially offering a new bladder-sparing option for the nearly one million people affected by bladder cancer annually.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced positive results from the Phase 3b APEX study of TREMFYA® (guselkumab) in treating active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The study met its primary endpoint of reducing signs and symptoms (ACR20) and major secondary endpoint of reducing structural damage progression at 24 weeks compared to placebo.
TREMFYA® stands as the first and only fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody approved for PsA that blocks IL-23 while binding to CD64. The drug demonstrated significantly less progression of structural damage versus placebo at Week 24, measured by the PsA modified van der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S) score. The safety profile remained consistent with previous findings, with no new safety signals identified.
The APEX study includes a long-term extension through three years to assess sustained efficacy in structural damage inhibition, with results pending presentation at upcoming medical congresses.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has completed its acquisition of Intra-Cellular Therapies, adding CAPLYTA® (lumateperone) to its neuroscience portfolio. CAPLYTA® is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for bipolar I and II depression and is also approved for adult schizophrenia treatment.
The acquisition is expected to boost JNJ's 2025 sales growth by approximately 0.8% with $0.7 billion in incremental sales. The transaction will dilute adjusted EPS by approximately $0.25 in 2025, improving from the initially estimated $0.30-$0.35, and reduce to $0.21 per share in 2026.
The deal strengthens JNJ's therapy lineup with $5 billion+ potential in peak year sales. Additionally, JNJ gains ITI-1284, a Phase 2 compound being studied for generalized anxiety disorder and Alzheimer's disease-related psychosis and agitation.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) has announced plans to complete its acquisition of Intra-Cellular Therapies around April 2, 2025, following shareholder approval on March 27, 2025. The transaction is projected to boost JNJ's 2025 sales growth by 0.8%, adding approximately $0.7 billion in incremental sales.
The acquisition is expected to dilute adjusted earnings per share (EPS) by $0.25 in 2025, an improvement from the previously estimated $0.30-$0.35 dilution. For 2026, earnings dilution is anticipated to decrease to $0.21 per share as operational accretion partially offsets annualized financing costs. JNJ will incorporate these estimates into its full-year 2025 financial outlook during first quarter results announcement on April 15, 2025. Following the acquisition, Intra-Cellular Therapies will delist from NASDAQ.
