J&J, Gen­mab strength­en case for Darza­lex in front­line mul­ti­ple myelo­ma with fresh slate of PhI­II da­ta

J&J and Gen­mab of­fered a snap­shot of the Phase III da­ta that got Darza­lex its pri­or­i­ty re­view for front­line use late last week, high­light­ing how adding the block­buster mul­ti­ple myelo­ma drug to a chemother­a­py reg­i­men im­proved the com­plete re­sponse rate. The part­ners are now ready to ex­pound on the full ex­tent of that ben­e­fit with some num­bers on pro­gres­sion-free sur­vival.

The re­sults of the CAS­SIOPEIA study were pub­lished in The Lancet amid a flood of da­ta from AS­CO, where Sanofi al­so de­lin­eat­ed a case for its ri­val an­ti-CD38 ther­a­py, isat­ux­imab, by com­par­ing a com­bo with po­ma­lido­mide and dex­am­etha­sone against the chemo/cor­ti­cos­teroid alone.
