Johnson & Johnson Stock Price, News & Analysis

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced groundbreaking results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study evaluated RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

The combination therapy demonstrated statistically significant improvement in overall survival compared to osimertinib, with a projected survival exceeding four years - more than one year longer than the current standard of care. At 37.8 months median follow-up, the treatment showed a significant reduction in death risk (HR: 0.75, P=0.005).

The drug combination's triple mode of action targets EGFR mutations, blocks MET, and engages the immune system, potentially changing the disease's natural progression by reducing resistance mechanisms. The safety profile remained consistent with previous analyses, with most adverse events occurring early in treatment.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced significant new analyses from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study for RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® in treating EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The combination therapy showed remarkable results in preventing resistance mutations compared to osimertinib treatment.

Key findings demonstrate that MET amplifications occurred in only 3% of combination therapy patients versus 13% with osimertinib, while secondary EGFR mutations were significantly lower (1% vs 8%). The combination therapy extends survival with a projected benefit exceeding four years, representing a one-year improvement over osimertinib alone.

The treatment is now approved in the United States, Europe, and other markets for first-line EGFR-mutated NSCLC based on the MARIPOSA study results. The safety profile remained consistent with previous analyses, with most adverse events occurring early in treatment.

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) announced groundbreaking long-term data from the DanGer Shock randomized controlled trial for its Impella CP heart pump, published in The New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.

The study demonstrated that Impella CP achieved an absolute mortality reduction of 16.3% over 10 years compared to standard care, with patients gaining an average of 600 additional days of life. This improvement surpasses the initial 6-month data, which showed a 12.7% reduction in mortality.

The trial, which enrolled 360 participants across 14 sites in Denmark, Germany, and the UK, led to the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association upgrading Impella to a class 2a guideline recommendation. This marks Impella CP as the first mechanical circulatory support device proven to provide both short-term and long-term survival benefits in STEMI-related cardiogenic shock patients.
