Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced new results from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study showing that CARVYKTI® significantly outperformed standard therapies in treating relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The study demonstrated that 89 percent of CARVYKTI-treated patients achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, compared to 38 percent with standard therapies.
At a median follow-up of 34 months, sustained MRD-negative complete response was five times higher in CARVYKTI patients (52 percent vs 10 percent). The study included 419 patients (208 CARVYKTI, 211 standard therapies) who had received one to three prior lines of therapy. Patient-reported outcomes showed 83 percent of CARVYKTI-treated patients had no worsening of functional impacts after three years, versus 69 percent in the standard therapies group.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) presented research at ASH 2024 highlighting the significant burden of warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), a rare condition affecting approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. The research emphasizes the lack of FDA-approved therapies and high unmet need for targeted treatments.
The findings reveal that wAIHA patients experience severe symptoms, including debilitating fatigue and shortness of breath, alongside high healthcare resource utilization. Patient council feedback indicated anxiety about the cyclical nature of the condition and dissatisfaction with current treatments. A sentiment analysis of 22,000 conversations showed negative experiences with rituximab, a common treatment approach.
The company is evaluating nipocalimab as a potential treatment in the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study, with results expected in 2025.

The Phase 3 CEPHEUS study showed significantly higher minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rates with DARZALEX FASPRO® plus VRd versus VRd alone, with 85% of MRD-negative patients remaining progression-free at 4.5 years.
At 58.7 months follow-up, overall MRD-negativity rates were significantly higher with D-VRd versus VRd at both sensitivity thresholds (60.9% vs 39.4% at 10-5; 46.2% vs 27.3% at 10-6). The AURIGA study demonstrated higher MRD-negative conversion rates in specific patient subgroups, including older patients (52.6% vs 17.5%) and Black patients (60% vs 16.7%).
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced promising frontline data for TECVAYLI® in treating newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM) from two studies. The MajesTEC-5 study showed 100% MRD negativity in evaluable patients when TECVAYLI® was combined with existing therapies as induction treatment. The MajesTEC-4 study demonstrated TECVAYLI®'s potential as maintenance therapy post-transplant.
In MajesTEC-5, 49 transplant-eligible NDMM patients were treated, with manageable safety profiles. Key adverse events included Grade 1/2 CRS in 65% of patients, and Grade 3/4 events including lymphopenia (43%), neutropenia (57%), and infections (35%). No ICANS cases were reported.
MajesTEC-4 showed promising results with low rates of non-hematologic Grade 3/4 adverse events and treatment discontinuation at 5.3%. All evaluable patients achieved MRD negativity at their respective assessment points.
Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced significant results from the Phase 3 AQUILA study of DARZALEX FASPRO® for high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). The study showed a 51% reduction in progression risk to active multiple myeloma compared to standard monitoring.
