Janssen's Darzalex new indication gains EC approval for SMM
The European Commission (EC) has approved the Johnson & Johnson company Janssen-Cilag International's new indication for Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab) subcutaneous (SC) formulation to treat adults with smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) at high-risk of developing MM. Daratumumab is co-formulated with Halozyme's drug delivery technology, Enhanze. The EC approval is based on outcomes from the Phase III AQUILA study, which assessed the safety and efficacy of fixed-duration daratumumab SC administration against active monitoring in patients with high-risk SMM. The primary endpoint of the study is progression-free survival, while secondary endpoints encompass overall response rate, time to progression and overall survival. Patients included in the study had been diagnosed with SMM within the previous five years. Those with prior exposure to either approved or investigational treatments for SMM or multiple myeloma were excluded from participation. Halozyme president and CEO Dr Helen Torley stated: "This approval reinforces DARZALEX Faspro with ENHANZE as a foundational treatment across all stages of multiple myeloma. "We are pleased that the new treatment paradigm addresses the critical needs of people living with this complex blood disease." Halozyme's Enhanze drug delivery technology, featuring the enzyme rHuPH20, enables rapid SC delivery of drugs and fluids, enhancing patient experience and reducing treatment burden. It has been licensed to companies including Takeda, Roche, Pfizer, AbbVie and Acumen Pharmaceuticals. Johnson & Johnson innovative medicine multiple myeloma disease area leader and vice-president Jordan Schecter stated: 'Until now, there have been no approved treatment options for patients diagnosed with high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma. 'We can now offer physicians and patients the option to treat with daratumumab earlier, significantly delaying progression and the need for more intensive, continuous therapy, as well as extending overall survival.' "Janssen's Darzalex new indication gains EC approval for SMM" was originally created and published by Pharmaceutical Technology, a GlobalData owned brand.

European Commission Approved DARZALEX Faspro® for Adult Patients with Smouldering Multiple Myeloma
DARZALEX Faspro® is co-formulated with Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology Approval represents critical advancement in early intervention for multiple myeloma SAN DIEGO, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) (Halozyme) today announced that Janssen-Cilag International NV, a Johnson & Johnson company, received European Commission (EC) approval of a new indication for DARZALEX Faspro® (daratumumab) co-formulated with ENHANZE®, as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) at high-risk of developing multiple myeloma. 'This approval reinforces DARZALEX Faspro with ENHANZE as a foundational treatment across all stages of multiple myeloma,' said Dr. Helen Torley, President and CEO of Halozyme. 'We are pleased that the new treatment paradigm addresses the critical needs of people living with this complex blood disease.' SMM is an asymptomatic intermediate disease state of multiple myeloma where abnormal cells can be detected in the bone marrow. The current standard of care for SMM, even in high-risk cases, is active monitoring (or 'Watch and Wait') to track for signs of biochemical progression and/or end-organ damage. This means therapeutic intervention is only offered when the disease progresses. The EC approval is supported by data from the Phase 3 AQUILA study (NCT03301220), evaluating the efficacy and safety of fixed-duration monotherapy daratumumab SC compared with active monitoring in those with high-risk SMM. For more information on the study and its findings, please view Johnson & Johnson's press release issued on July 23, 2025.
