ODAC recommendation based on the positive
progression-free survival and clinical benefit in the Phase 3
AQUILA study
If approved, DARZALEX FASPRO® would
be the first treatment to potentially delay or prevent
progression to multiple myeloma
RARITAN,
N.J., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson &
Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced today the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC)
voted (6-2) in favor of the benefit-risk profile of single-agent
DARZALEX FASPRO® (daratumumab and
hyaluronidase-fihj) for the treatment of adult patients with
high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma (HR-SMM). An application for
the approval of DARZALEX FASPRO® for adult
patients with HR-SMM was submitted to the FDA in November 2024.
The vote highlights a pivotal moment in the care of patients
most likely to develop active multiple myeloma (MM), potentially
altering the course of disease and treatment. DARZALEX
FASPRO® is a foundational therapy in MM, and if
approved in this indication, would provide a potential path for
earlier intervention.
No treatments are approved specifically to treat HR-SMM. In
2024, it was estimated that more than 35,000 people would be
diagnosed with MM in the U.S., and approximately 15 percent of
newly diagnosed MM cases are classified as smoldering. While
patients diagnosed with HR-SMM are asymptomatic, approximately
50 percent are likely to develop active disease within two to three
years. The current standard of care (SOC) for smoldering multiple
myeloma (SMM), even those considered high-risk, is active
monitoring ("Watch and Wait") until progression, which may lead to
therapeutic intervention only after the detection of end-organ
damage.
"Early intervention in high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma
demonstrated a reduction in the risk of progression or death," said
Sen Zhuang, M.D., Vice President, Oncology Clinical Research,
Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "The proactive approach
demonstrated in the AQUILA study is an example of Johnson &
Johnson's aspiration to get in front of cancer by providing a
platform to treat disease before progression to active
disease."
The committee reviewed data from the AQUILA study, a Phase 3,
randomized, open-label trial which evaluated the efficacy and
safety of DARZALEX FASPRO® versus SOC active
monitoring in patients with HR-SMM.1 Results were
initially presented at the 2024 American Society of Hematology
(ASH) Annual Meeting and simultaneously published in The
New England Journal of Medicine.2
"High-risk smoldering multiple myeloma remains a challenging
clinical conundrum with no approved therapies, and earlier
intervention may delay or even prevent progression to active
multiple myeloma," said Peter Voorhees, M.D., Atrium Health /
Levine Cancer Institute, Charlotte, N.C.‡ "We appreciate the balance
the committee provided when assessing the risks and benefits of
finite treatment at this stage and its recognition of the promise
of DARZALEX FASPRO."
The recommendation reinforces Johnson & Johnson's vision for
the future of oncology – one where early diagnosis and treatments
become standard, and where science moves us closer to a world
without cancer. With bold choices over time, J&J is dedicated
to our mission of evolving the treatment paradigm of patients with
multiple myeloma.
The ODAC is convened upon request of the FDA to review and
evaluate safety and efficacy data of human drug products for use in
the treatment of oncologic diseases. The committee provides
non-binding recommendations based on its evaluation; however, final
decisions on approval of the drug are made by the FDA.
About the AQUILA Study
AQUILA (NCT03301220) is a
randomized, multicenter Phase 3 study comparing treatment with
DARZALEX FASPRO® to active monitoring in patients
with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). The primary endpoint is
progression-free survival (PFS), defined as progression to active
multiple myeloma (MM) as assessed by an independent review
committee, according to IMWG diagnostic criteria for MM
(SLiM-CRAB), or death. Major secondary endpoints included overall
response rate, PFS on first-line MM treatment (PFS2), and overall
survival.
About Multiple Myeloma
Multiple myeloma is a
blood cancer that affects a type of white blood cell called plasma
cells, which are found in the bone marrow.3 In
multiple myeloma, these malignant plasma cells proliferate and
replace normal cells in the bone marrow.4 Multiple
myeloma is the second most common blood cancer worldwide and
remains an incurable disease.5 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.6 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.7,8
About Smoldering Multiple Myeloma
Smoldering multiple
myeloma (SMM) is an asymptomatic intermediate disease state of
multiple myeloma characterized by abnormal monoclonal bone marrow
plasma cell (BMPC) proliferation and abnormally high levels of
circulating M proteins with absence of myeloma-defining events. SMM
is associated with a 10 percent annual risk of progressing to
multiple myeloma (MM) or a related disorder, but half of patients
with high-risk SMM progress to MM and are at risk of developing
severe symptoms and organ damage within just two years of
diagnosis.
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.
In August 2012, Janssen
Biotech, Inc. and Genmab A/S entered a worldwide agreement, which
granted Janssen an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and
commercialize daratumumab.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
DARZALEX FASPRO®
is contraindicated in patients with a history of severe
hypersensitivity to daratumumab, hyaluronidase or any of the
components of the formulation.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hypersensitivity and Other Administration
Reactions
Both systemic administration-related reactions,
including severe or life-threatening reactions, and local
injection-site reactions can occur
with DARZALEX FASPRO®. 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.

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.
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 is not impacted. Notify blood transfusion
centers of this interference with serological testing and inform
blood banks that a patient has received DARZALEX®. Type
and screen patients prior to starting
DARZALEX®.
Neutropenia and Thrombocytopenia
DARZALEX® may increase neutropenia and
thrombocytopenia 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® until recovery of neutrophils
or for recovery of platelets.

defects and death of the unborn child. Refer to the lenalidomide,
pomalidomide, or thalidomide prescribing information on use during
pregnancy.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥20
percent) were: upper respiratory infection, neutropenia, infusion
related reactions, thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, constipation,
anemia, peripheral sensory neuropathy, fatigue, peripheral edema,
nausea, cough, pyrexia, dyspnea, and asthenia. The most common
hematologic laboratory abnormalities (≥40 percent) with
