European Commission Approves Subcutaneous RYBREVANT® (amivantamab) Co-Formulated with ENHANZE® for the Treatment of Patients with Advanced EGFR-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) announced that the European Commission has approved the subcutaneous formulation of RYBREVANT® (amivantamab), co-formulated with their ENHANZE® drug delivery technology. The approval covers two key indications:
- First-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific EGFR mutations, in combination with LAZCLUZE®
- Monotherapy for advanced NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations after platinum-based therapy failure
The approval is backed by Phase 3 PALOMA-3 study results, demonstrating reduced administration time and decreased infusion-related reactions. This marks Halozyme's tenth approved partner product utilizing their ENHANZE® technology.
Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) ha annunciato che la Commissione Europea ha approvato la formulazione sottocutanea di RYBREVANT® (amivantamab), co-formulata con la loro tecnologia di somministrazione di farmaci ENHANZE®. L'approvazione copre due indicazioni chiave:
- Trattamento di prima linea per il carcinoma polmonare non a piccole cellule (NSCLC) avanzato con specifiche mutazioni EGFR, in combinazione con LAZCLUZE®
- Monoterapia per NSCLC avanzato con mutazioni di inserzione dell'esone 20 di EGFR dopo il fallimento della terapia a base di platino
L'approvazione è supportata dai risultati dello studio di Fase 3 PALOMA-3, che dimostrano una riduzione del tempo di somministrazione e una diminuzione delle reazioni correlate all'infusione. Questo segna il decimo prodotto approvato da Halozyme che utilizza la loro tecnologia ENHANZE®.

Insights
The European Commission's approval of subcutaneous RYBREVANT® co-formulated with Halozyme's ENHANZE® technology represents a significant commercial milestone for Halozyme. This marks their tenth approved partner product utilizing the ENHANZE® platform, further validating their business model built around improving drug delivery through their proprietary technology.
The approval for treatment of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer carries substantial importance as NSCLC represents approximately 85% of all lung cancers. The PALOMA-3 clinical data demonstrated two critical advantages that differentiate subcutaneous administration: reduced administration time and decreased infusion-related reactions. These benefits create compelling value propositions for patients, healthcare providers, and payers.
For Halozyme's business model, each regulatory approval typically triggers milestone payments and establishes ongoing royalty streams from commercial sales. While specific financial terms weren't disclosed, this approval likely strengthens Halozyme's recurring revenue foundation through their partnership with Johnson & Johnson's Janssen unit.
This regulatory win continues to demonstrate Halozyme's execution in their platform technology strategy, where a single proprietary technology (ENHANZE®) can be leveraged across multiple partner products, creating an expanding portfolio of revenue-generating assets with favorable economics and diversified risk.
Subcutaneous amivantamab is co-formulated Halozyme's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology.
"We are delighted to announce the European approval of the subcutaneous formulation of amivantamab, developed using our innovative ENHANZE drug delivery technology. This marks our tenth approved partner product," said Dr. Helen Torley, President and CEO of Halozyme. "The data supporting this approval showed a reduced administration time and decrease in infusion-related reactions, which could have a positive impact on the healthcare system."
The EC approval is supported by positive results from the Phase 3 PALOMA-3 study (NCT05388669). For detailed information on the study and its findings, please refer to Johnson & Johnson's press release issued today.1
