Janssen submits application to U.S. FDA seeking approval of Darzalex (daratumumab) combination therapy for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are transplant ineligible
12 March 2019 - Application supported by the Phase 3 MAIA study being reviewed under the FDA Real-Time Oncology Review pilot program.
Janssen announced today the submission of a supplemental biologics license application to the U.S. FDA seeking approval of Darzalex (daratumumab) in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd) for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
The application, based upon data from the Phase 3 MAIA (MMY3008) clinical study, is being reviewed by the FDA under the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) pilot program, which for certain applications allows the FDA to review data before the applicant formally submits the complete application. It aims to explore a more efficient review process to help ensure treatments are available as soon as possible for patients. Selection into the RTOR pilot program does not guarantee or influence approvability of the supplemental application.
