Janssen seeks USFDA nod for Rybrevant plus chemotherapy for patients with EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer who progressed on or after Osimertinib
Raritan: The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson has announced the submission of a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking the approval of RYBREVANT (amivantamab-vmjw) in combination with chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution after disease progression on or after osimertinib.
“New treatment options are urgently needed in the post-osimertinib setting, where patients continue to face unacceptable survival rates,” said Kiran Patel, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development, Solid Tumors, Janssen Research & Development, LLC.
“As we strive to transform the standard of care in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, we are committed to working closely with the FDA during review of this submission for RYBREVANT in this expanded patient population.”
