J&J reports results from antibody combo trial for MM patients
The data showed a high overall response rate (ORR) with durability in those who have triple-class-exposed (TCE) RRMM with true extramedullary disease (EMD).
In the trial, which enrolled 90 subjects, the investigational combo resulted in an ORR of 78.9%, with over half of the subjects achieving a complete response or better, representing a significant improvement over the average ORR of less than 40% for this patient group.
Notably, responses were also found to be high among those previously treated with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) CAR-T or anti-FcRH5 bispecific antibodies.
According to the company, subjects in the trial showed deep and durable responses, with 66.2% remaining in response at the data cutoff and a median follow-up of 13.4 months.
At one year, 61% of subjects were progression-free and alive, and 74.5% were alive, with median overall survival not yet reached.
The combo was found to be consistent with prior reports of them as single agents.
Subjects had the option to switch to once-a-month dosing, which might have contributed to better tolerability.
The reports of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were found to be mostly low grade.
The study's findings were featured at the 2025 European Hematology Association Congress.
EMD represents a severe form of MM, where myeloma cells form tumours in soft tissues and organs.
Johnson & Johnson innovative medicine multiple myeloma disease area leader and vice-president Jordan Schecter said: 'Patients with extramedullary myeloma, especially those who have exhausted prior therapies, need more effective treatment options.
'Our first-in-class bispecific antibodies, Talvey and Tecvayli, have transformed treatment for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.'
Recently, J&J reported that Tremfya decreased the symptoms and signs of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) at 24 weeks in individuals against a placebo in the Phase IIIb APEX trial.

Unrivaled announces NIL deals with 14 college players, including JuJu Watkins and Flau'Jae Johnson
Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — JuJu Watkins, Flau'Jae Johnson and Azzi Fudd are three of 14 top women's college basketball players that Unrivaled is signing to NIL deals, the league announced Saturday. It's the second consecutive year that the 3-on-3 league that was founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart has had name, image and likeness deals with college players. In it's inaugural season, Unrivaled had deals with Paige Bueckers and Johnson. Watkins, who plays for Southern California but is sidelined with an ACL injury, has also previously been involved with Unrivaled as an investor in its Series A funding round. Johnson, who is at LSU, and Fudd, at UConn, both were on hand for the announcement, as were Notre Dame's Hannah Hidalgo and UConn's Sarah Strong. Other players signed include TCU's Olivia Miles, UCLA's Kiki Rice and Lauren and Sienna Betts, Texas' Madison Booker, Iowa State's Audi Crooks, LSU's MiLaysia Fulwiley, South Carolina Ta'Niya Latson and Michigan's Syla Swords. The players range from sophomores to seniors. Women's basketball players have been able to take advantage of NIL opportunities over the last few years with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Bueckers and Johnson at the forefront of it. Reese played in Unrivaled in its first season. As part of the initiative, the class will be attending a multi-day event at the league's headquarters in Miami, which will include skill development and content shoots. 'This transformational, first-of-its-kind initiative brings together the best of the best and reflects our deep commitment to elevating the women's game and holistically supporting athletes,' Luke Cooper, President of Basketball Operations at Unrivaled, said in the initiative's announcement. 'Investing in elite women's basketball talent is central to Unrivaled's mission.' Unrivaled completed its inaugural season this past March, and is gearing up for its second this coming January. ___ AP WNBA:

Walmart puts a healthy spin on a guilty pleasure
Is there any food that is more satisfying than a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Hear me out. A PB&J combines savory and sweet in a way that few other foods do. It's packed with a serving of protein - at least 8 grams per 2 tablespoons - and the fat in peanut butter is mostly healthy. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are infinitely customizable. You can add slices of banana or strawberry, honey or chocolate chips, even brie or another kind of cheese if you're feeling adventurous - a charcuterie board between slices of bread if you will Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches travel well, no refrigeration required, which is why they have been a staple in kids' lunchboxes for generations. All the above is also why Uncrustables have become such an iconic snack, stashed in freezers across America. J.M. Smuckers, which makes Uncrustables, will sell around $1 billion worth of the snack this year. Uncrustables are popular, but no one ever claimed they were healthy. Each sandwich is 210 calories and contains 6 grams of protein and 10 grams of sugar. Related: Kroger adds new Coca-Cola flavor Target, Walmart can't carry Still, it seems like professional athletes, including NFL players, can't get enough of them. The NFL reportedly goes through around 80,000 Uncrustables per season (that's 47 sandwiches per player in case you're counting). So it makes sense that other companies might look for ways to take a bite out of that dominance. TheJams, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich described as a "health-forward snack," is now available exclusively at 3000 Walmart stores nationwide. Jams are made by Nashville-based The DropOut Companies, which promised in a statement that the snack is "everything you love about a PB&J without the weird ingredients" and that the product does not taste like artificial garbage." Jams are available in strawberry or berry flavors and each 260-calorie serving contains 10 grams of protein with 6 grams of sugar. Jams don't contain seed oils, high-fructose corn syrup, or dyes, and jelly is made with real fruit. (It's worth noting that Smucker's Uncrustables don't contain artificial ingredients either.) Related: Trader Joe's shares recall on popular snack that can make you sick Like Uncrustables, Jams should be stored in the freezer, and they can be eaten frozen, thawed, or toasted. Investors in the new product include Allison and Stephen Ellsworth, founders of the healthy soda company Poppi, and professional soccer player Alex Morgan. Jams cost $5.87 for a four-pack while Uncrustables are $4.34 for a 4-pack. The partnership with athletes is smart because athletes are always looking for convenient, high-protein snacks, and Jams are another option. A couple of NFL stars, C.J. Stroud and Micah Parsons, are also in on the launch. The brand's first Instagram post features Stroud and Parsons as astronauts, though their spaceship is an Airstream camper. Fans of both the athletes and the snack were already raving. "@vikforvendetta wrote, "As I was searching for the ingredients I saw that you guys use clean ingredients! Which makes me 10 times more likely to try now! Thank you!!" And @Jammy wrote "someone please tell houston we already ate the boxes they packed - jammy needs more berry."

One of Trump's MAGA allies found his texts to the Tesla billionaire going unanswered.
Elon Musk changed his phone number after his relationship with Trump and the president's administration blew up, according to House Speaker Mike Johnson. Johnson is the latest Trump ally to open up on the ugly divorce on the New York Post's Pod Force One, after White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told host Miranda Devine last week that the president and the tech mogul suffered a 'very troublesome' end to their bromance. Johnson revealed on Wednesday's episode that Musk felt so jilted by the Trump administration that he even changed his phone number, leaving Johnson high and dry.
