DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj)-based regimen shows 95 percent progression-free survival at four years in transplant-eligible, newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma who achieved sustained MRD negativity

More than half of patients maintained minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity (10-5) with DARZALEX FASPRO® for 24 months or longer in the Phase 3 PERSEUS study Data from Phase 3 CEPHEUS study show 60 percent overall MRD negativity (10−5) and improved PFS with DARZALEX FASPRO® in transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed patients , /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced data from two studies highlighting that a DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj)-based quadruplet regimen demonstrated deep and sustained minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rates, and improved long-term progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM), regardless of transplant status.1,2,3 Findings were highlighted as oral presentations of an analysis of sustained MRD in transplant-eligible patients from the Phase 3 PERSEUS study (Abstract #7501) and a subgroup analysis of transplant-ineligible patients in the Phase 3 CEPHEUS study (Abstract #7516) at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. New analysis from the Phase 3 PERSEUS study shows the addition of DARZALEX FASPRO® to bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (D-VRd), followed by an investigational maintenance regimen of DARZALEX FASPRO® with lenalidomide (D-R), led to improved and deepened rates of overall and sustained MRD negativity (10-5), defined as no cancer cells detected within 100,000 bone marrow cells) for at least 24 months, compared to VRd induction and consolidation with R maintenance. More than half of patients who received the DARZALEX FASPRO®-based regimen achieved sustained MRD negativity for 24 or more months and more than two-thirds of patients achieved sustained MRD-negativity at 12-months, showing 95.3 percent PFS at 48-months (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.3-2.3)—reinforcing the ability of DARZALEX FASPRO® to delay disease progression or death.1 "The data show that D-VRd followed by an investigational D-R maintenance regimen is a highly effective treatment option for transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma," said Philippe Moreau*, M.D., head of the Hematology Department, University Hospital Hôtel-Dieu, Nantes, France and presenting author. "The depth and durability of MRD negativity observed—paired with unprecedented progression-free survival at four years—underscore the long-term benefit the DARZALEX FASPRO-based regimen can offer patients early in their treatment journey." At a median follow-up of 47.5 months, 24-month sustained MRD negativity rates at the 10⁻⁵ sensitivity threshold were more than double with D-VRd followed by investigational D-R maintenance (55.8 percent), compared to VRd followed by R maintenance (22.6 percent) (odds ratio [OR]=4.36; 95 percent CI, 3.15-6.05; P<0.0001). Similarly, MRD negativity at 12 months was higher with D-VRd and D-R maintenance at 64.8 percent compared to VRd and R maintenance (29.7 percent) (OR=4.42, 95 percent CI, 3.22-6.08, P<0.0001).1 Additional data from Phase 3 CEPHEUS study explore the benefits of DARZALEX FASPRO® in transplant-ineligible patients across cytogenetic risk status The post-hoc analysis of the Phase 3 CEPHEUS study focused exclusively on transplant-ineligible patients, reinforcing that adding DARZALEX FASPRO® to VRd significantly deepens response and prolongs PFS compared to VRd alone, even in patients who are older and considered frail by the Myeloma Geriatric Assessment score. At a median follow-up of 58.7 months, patients receiving D-VRd achieved markedly higher overall MRD negativity rates at the 10⁻⁵ sensitivity threshold with 60.4 percent versus 39.3 percent with VRd (OR 2.37; 95 percent CI, 1.47–3.80; P=0.0004). Furthermore, treatment with D-VRd resulted in high MRD-negativity rates at the 10⁻⁶ threshold (no cancer cells detected within 1,000,000 bone marrow cells) with 45.8 percent compared to 26.9 percent with VRd (OR 2.28; 95 percent CI, 1.40–3.73; P=0.0010). These deeper responses translated into improved long-term outcomes, with 69 percent of patients remaining progression free at 54-months when treated with D-VRd versus 48.0 percent with VRd (hazard ratio [HR] 0.51; 95 percent CI, 0.35–0.74). Overall survival (OS) numerically favored D-VRd (HR 0.66; 95 percent CI, 0.42–1.03), with an even greater benefit observed after censoring for COVID-19-related deaths (HR 0.55; 95 percent CI, 0.34–0.90).2 Additional data presented at ASCO included a subgroup analysis of the CEPHEUS trial for both transplant-ineligible and deferred NDMM patients who were considered high-risk for cytogenetic abnormalities (Abstract #7529). At a median follow-up of 58.7 months, overall MRD negativity rate was improved for patients with standard risk in D-VRd versus VRd. Rates by treatment arm in patients at high risk were comparable.3 "Across multiple studies, the growing body of data on DARZALEX-based regimens indicates impressive, deep responses and meaningful progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma, including high risk," Jordan Schecter, MD, Vice President, Disease Area Leader, Multiple Myeloma, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "These consistent results across patient populations, regardless of transplant eligibility, reinforce the role of DARZALEX FASPRO as a cornerstone of frontline therapy." In the PERSEUS and CEPHEUS studies, the safety profiles were consistent with the known safety profile for DARZALEX FASPRO®. About the PERSEUS StudyThe PERSEUS study is being conducted in collaboration with the European Myeloma Network as the sponsor. PERSEUS is an ongoing, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of D-VRd during induction and consolidation versus VRd during induction and consolidation in patients with NDMM eligible for ASCT. Following consolidation, patients received an investigational treatment regimen for maintenance that included DARZALEX FASPRO® in combination with lenalidomide or lenalidomide alone. The trial was not designed to isolate the effect of DARZALEX FASPRO® in the maintenance phase of treatment. The efficacy of DARZALEX FASPRO® in combination with lenalidomide for maintenance has not been established. The primary endpoint is PFS, and secondary endpoints include overall CR or better rate, and overall MRD-negativity (in patients with CR or better). The median age is 61.0 (range, 32-70) years for patients in the D-VRd arm and 59.0 (range, 31-70) years for patients in the VRd arm.2 The study is being conducted in 14 countries in Europe and Australia. About the CEPHEUS StudyCEPHEUS (NCT03652064) is an ongoing, multicenter, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study comparing the efficacy and safety of D-VRd versus VRd in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant-ineligible or for whom transplant is not intended as initial therapy. Primary endpoint is overall MRD negativity rate at 10-5 sensitivity threshold. Secondary endpoints include CR or better rates, PFS, sustained MRD negativity rates for ≥12 months, MRD-negative rate at one year, overall response rates, time to and duration of response, PFS on next line of therapy, overall survival and safety. The trial has enrolled 396 patients in 13 countries. About Multiple Myeloma Multiple myeloma (MM) is a blood cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called plasma cells, which are found in the bone marrow.4 In multiple myeloma, these malignant plasma cells proliferate and replace normal cells in the bone marrow.5 Multiple myeloma is the second most common blood cancer worldwide and remains an incurable disease.6 In 2024, it is estimated that more than 35,000 people will be diagnosed with multiple myeloma in the U.S. and more than 12,000 will die from the disease.7 People with multiple myeloma have a 5-year survival rate of 59.8 percent. While some people diagnosed with multiple myeloma initially have no symptoms, most patients are diagnosed due to symptoms that can include bone fracture or pain, low red blood cell counts, tiredness, high calcium levels, kidney problems or infections.8,9 About DARZALEX FASPRO® and DARZALEX® DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) received U.S. FDA approval in May 2020 and is approved for nine indications in MM, four of which are for frontline treatment in newly diagnosed patients who are transplant-eligible or ineligible.3,6 It is the only subcutaneous CD38-directed antibody approved to treat patients with MM. DARZALEX FASPRO® is co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20, Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology. DARZALEX® (daratumumab) received U.S. FDA approval in November 2015 and is approved in eight indications, three of which are in the frontline setting, including newly diagnosed patients who are transplant-eligible and ineligible.9 DARZALEX® is the first CD38-directed antibody approved to treat MM.9 DARZALEX®-based regimens have been used in the treatment of more than 618,000 patients worldwide.

Fatal reactions have been reported with daratumumab-containing products, including DARZALEX FASPRO®.    Systemic Reactions    In a pooled safety population of 1249 patients with MM (N=1056) or light chain (AL) amyloidosis (N=193) who received DARZALEX FASPRO® as monotherapy or in combination, 7 percent of patients experienced a systemic administration-related reaction (Grade 2: 3.2 percent, Grade 3: 0.7 percent, Grade 4: 0.1 percent). Systemic administration-related reactions occurred in 7 of patients with the first injection, 0.2 percent with the second injection, and cumulatively 1 percent with subsequent injections. The median time to onset was 2.9 hours (range: 5 minutes to 3.5 days). Of the 165 systemic administration-related reactions that occurred in 93 patients, 144 (87 percent) occurred on the day of DARZALEX FASPRO® administration. Delayed systemic administration-related reactions have occurred in 1 percent of the patients.  Severe reactions included hypoxia, dyspnea, hypertension, tachycardia, and ocular adverse reactions, including choroidal effusion, acute myopia, and acute angle closure glaucoma. Other signs and symptoms of systemic administration-related reactions may include respiratory symptoms, such as bronchospasm, nasal congestion, cough, throat irritation, allergic rhinitis, and wheezing, as well as anaphylactic reaction, pyrexia, chest pain, pruritus, chills, vomiting, nausea, hypotension, and blurred vision.     Pre-medicate patients with histamine-1 receptor antagonist, acetaminophen, and corticosteroids. Monitor patients for systemic administration-related reactions, especially following the first and second injections. For anaphylactic reaction or life-threatening (Grade 4) administration-related reactions, immediately and permanently discontinue DARZALEX FASPRO®. Consider administering corticosteroids and other medications after the administration of DARZALEX FASPRO® depending on dosing regimen and medical history to minimize the risk of delayed (defined as occurring the day after administration) systemic administration-related reactions.     Ocular adverse reactions, including acute myopia and narrowing of the anterior chamber angle due to ciliochoroidal effusions with potential for increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma, have occurred with daratumumab-containing products. If ocular symptoms occur, interrupt DARZALEX FASPRO® and seek immediate ophthalmologic evaluation prior to restarting DARZALEX FASPRO®.     Local Reactions     In this pooled safety population, injection-site reactions occurred in 7 percent of patients, including Grade 2 reactions in 0.8 percent. The most frequent (>1 percent) injection-site reaction was injection-site erythema. These local reactions occurred a median of 5 minutes (range: 0 minutes to 6.5 days) after starting administration of DARZALEX FASPRO®. Monitor for local reactions and consider symptomatic management.     Neutropenia     Daratumumab may increase neutropenia induced by background therapy. Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer's prescribing information for background therapies. Monitor patients with neutropenia for signs of infection. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO® until recovery of neutrophils. In lower body weight patients receiving DARZALEX FASPRO®, higher rates of Grade 3-4 neutropenia were observed.     Thrombocytopenia     Daratumumab may increase thrombocytopenia induced by background therapy. Monitor complete blood cell counts periodically during treatment according to manufacturer's prescribing information for background therapies. Consider withholding DARZALEX FASPRO® until recovery of platelets.     Embryo-Fetal Toxicity     Based on the mechanism of action, DARZALEX FASPRO® can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. DARZALEX FASPRO® may cause depletion of fetal immune cells and decreased bone density. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females with reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with DARZALEX FASPRO® and for 3 months after the last dose.     The combination of DARZALEX FASPRO® with lenalidomide, thalidomide, or pomalidomide is contraindicated in pregnant women because lenalidomide, thalidomide, and pomalidomide may cause birth defects and death of the unborn child. Refer to the lenalidomide, thalidomide, or pomalidomide prescribing information on use during pregnancy.     Interference With Serological Testing     Daratumumab binds to CD38 on red blood cells (RBCs) and results in a positive indirect antiglobulin test (indirect Coombs test). Daratumumab-mediated positive indirect antiglobulin test may persist for up to 6 months after the last daratumumab administration. Daratumumab bound to RBCs masks detection of antibodies to minor antigens in the patient's serum. The determination of a patient's ABO and Rh blood type are not impacted.     Notify blood transfusion centers of this interference with serological testing and inform blood banks that a patient has received DARZALEX FASPRO®. Type and screen patients prior to starting DARZALEX FASPRO®.     Interference With Determination of Complete Response     Daratumumab is a human immunoglobulin G (IgG) kappa monoclonal antibody that can be detected on both the serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) and immunofixation (IFE) assays used for the clinical monitoring of endogenous M-protein. This interference can impact the determination of complete response and of disease progression in some DARZALEX FASPRO®-treated patients with IgG kappa myeloma protein.     ADVERSE REACTIONS     In MM, the most common adverse reaction (≥20 percent) with DARZALEX FASPRO® monotherapy is upper respiratory tract infection. The most common adverse reactions with combination therapy (≥20 percent for any combination) include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, dyspnea, insomnia, headache, pyrexia, cough, muscle spasms, back pain, vomiting, hypertension, upper respiratory tract infection, peripheral sensory neuropathy, constipation, pneumonia, and peripheral edema.     The most common hematology laboratory abnormalities (≥40 percent) with DARZALEX FASPRO® are decreased leukocytes, decreased lymphocytes, decreased neutrophils, decreased platelets, and decreased hemoglobin.     Please click here to see the full Prescribing Information for DARZALEX FASPRO®.     DARZALEX® INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION INDICATIONS   DARZALEX® (daratumumab) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with MM:   In combination with bortezomib, melphalan, and prednisone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant In combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant and in patients with relapsed or refractory MM who have received at least one prior therapy In combination with bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone in newly diagnosed patients who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant In combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior line of therapy including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor In combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients with relapsed or refractory MM who have received one to three prior lines of therapy In combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received at least one prior therapy As monotherapy in patients who have received at least three prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor (PI) and an immunomodulatory agent or who are double-refractory to a PI and an immunomodulatory agent CONTRAINDICATIONS DARZALEX® is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe hypersensitivity (eg, anaphylactic reactions) to daratumumab or any of the components of the formulation.   WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS   Infusion-Related Reactions   DARZALEX® can cause severe and/or serious infusion-related reactions including anaphylactic reactions. These reactions can be life-threatening, and fatal outcomes have been reported. In clinical trials (monotherapy and combination: N=2066), infusion-related reactions occurred in 37 percent of patients with the Week 1 (16 mg/kg) infusion, 2 percent with the Week 2 infusion, and cumulatively 6 percent with subsequent infusions. Less than 1 percent of patients had a Grade 3/4 infusion-related reaction at Week 2 or subsequent infusions. The median time to onset was 1.5 hours (range: 0 to 73 hours). Nearly all reactions occurred during infusion or within 4 hours of completing DARZALEX®. Severe reactions have occurred, including bronchospasm, hypoxia, dyspnea, hypertension, tachycardia, headache, laryngeal edema, pulmonary edema, and ocular adverse reactions, including choroidal effusion, acute myopia, and acute angle closure glaucoma. Signs and symptoms may include respiratory symptoms, such as nasal congestion, cough, throat irritation, as well as chills, vomiting, and nausea. Less common signs and symptoms were wheezing, allergic rhinitis, pyrexia, chest discomfort, pruritus, hypotension and blurred vision. When DARZALEX® dosing was interrupted in the setting of ASCT (CASSIOPEIA) for a median of 3.75 months (range: 2.4 to 6.9 months), upon re-initiation of DARZALEX®, the incidence of infusion-related reactions was 11 percent for the first infusion following ASCT. Infusion-related reactions occurring at re-initiation of DARZALEX® following ASCT were consistent in terms of symptoms and severity (Grade 3 or 4: <1 percent) with those reported in previous studies at Week 2 or subsequent infusions. In EQUULEUS, patients receiving combination treatment (n=97) were administered the first 16 mg/kg dose at Week 1 split over two days, ie, 8 mg/kg on Day 1 and Day 2, respectively. The incidence of any grade infusion-related reactions was 42 percent, with 36 percent of patients experiencing infusion-related reactions on Day 1 of Week 1, 4 percent on Day 2 of Week 1, and 8 percent with subsequent infusions. Pre-medicate patients with antihistamines, antipyretics, and corticosteroids. Frequently monitor patients during the entire infusion. Interrupt DARZALEX® infusion for reactions of any severity and institute medical management as needed. Permanently discontinue DARZALEX® therapy if an anaphylactic reaction or life-threatening (Grade 4) reaction occurs and institute appropriate emergency care. For patients with Grade 1, 2, or 3 reactions, reduce the infusion rate when re-starting the infusion. To reduce the risk of delayed infusion-related reactions, administer oral corticosteroids to all patients following DARZALEX® infusions. Patients with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may require additional post-infusion medications to manage respiratory complications. Consider prescribing short- and long-acting bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Ocular adverse reactions, including acute myopia and narrowing of the anterior chamber angle due to ciliochoroidal effusions with potential for increased intraocular pressure or glaucoma, have occurred with DARZALEX® infusion. If ocular symptoms occur, interrupt DARZALEX® infusion and seek immediate ophthalmologic evaluation prior to restarting DARZALEX®. Interference With Serological Testing   Daratumumab binds to CD38 on red blood cells (RBCs) and results in a positive indirect antiglobulin test (indirect Coombs test). Daratumumab-mediated positive indirect antiglobulin test may persist for up to 6 months after the last daratumumab infusion.
