Janssen to Present Key Data from Across Its Expansive Oncology Portfolio at ESMO 2020 Virtual Congress

Share

The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced multiple data presentations from its oncology portfolio and pipeline, including key data in lung cancer and bladder cancer, will be featured as part of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Virtual Congress 2020, Science Weekend taking place 19–21 September.

Thirteen abstracts featuring Janssen data have been selected for presentation during the virtual congress, including an oral presentation and live Q&A of the latest data from the Phase 1 dose escalation study investigating amivantamab (JNJ-61186372) in combination with lazertinib in patients with advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); updates on multiple Phase 1/2 studies evaluating erdafitinib in the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC); an update on patient-reported outcomes on health-related quality of life data from the final analysis of the Phase 3 SPARTAN study of apalutamide in patients with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) with over four years of follow up. The full final analysis of the SPARTAN study was also recently published in European Urology.1 In addition, Janssen makes its first presentation of in-human data for early-stage investigational protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) inhibitor JNJ-9178 in multiple tumour models (relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or advanced solid tumours, including patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes). 2,3

“Janssen’s data at this year’s congress demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing our broad oncology portfolio, driven by the critical unmet needs in solid tumours for some of the most prevalent cancers in Europe,” said Dr Joaquín Casariego, M.D., Janssen Therapeutic Area Lead, Oncology for Europe, Middle East & Africa, Janssen-Cilag, S.A. “The advancement of new approaches to cancer treatment and interception at earlier stages of the disease is vital to improve clinical outcomes and ultimately enhancing the quality of life for those affected by an oncologic diagnosis.”

Company-sponsored abstracts to be presented at the meeting include:

About apalutamide
Apalutamide is an orally administered, selective androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor approved in Europe and is indicated in adult men for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) who are at high risk of developing metastatic disease and in adult men for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), also known as metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).4 In the U.S. apalutamide is also indicated for the treatment of nmCRPC and mCSPC.5

About erdafitinib
Erdafitinib is a once-daily, oral fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor that is being studied in patients with selected FGFR gene alterations in locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, in Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) experienced, high risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer and in advanced solid tumours.6,7,8,9,10,11 In 2019 erdafitinib was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) that has susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations and who have progressed during or following at least one line of prior platinum-containing chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy.12 In 2008, Janssen Pharmaceutica N.V. entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Astex Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialise erdafitinib.13

About amivantamab
Amivantamab (JNJ-6372) is an investigational EGFR-MET bispecific antibody with immune cell-directing activity, which targets activating and resistance EGFR mutations, and MET pathway activation.14,15 The production and development of the antibody followed Janssen Biotech, Inc.’s licensing agreement with Genmab for use of its DuoBody® technology platform.16

About lazertinib
Lazertinibi is an oral, third-generation, selective inhibitor of certain forms of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with activating mutations, including the resistance mutation T790M, exon 19 deletions (Del19), and the L858R mutation, with potential antineoplastic activity.17 It is currently being explored in combination with amivantamab in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.18

About JNJ-9178
JNJ-64619178 is an oral, selective protein arginine methyltransferase 5 inhibitor which is currently being investigated in a Phase 1 study for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or advanced solid tumours, including patients with lower risk myelodysplastic syndromes.3,19
