Janssen to Present Data from its Robust Oncology Portfolio and Pipeline at the 24th EHA Annual Congress
10.6.2019 12:07:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
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

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.
