Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) announced that Janssen-Cilag received European Commission approval for DARZALEX Faspro®, co-formulated with Halozyme's ENHANZE® technology, for treating high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma (SMM) in adult patients.

This approval marks a significant shift from the current "Watch and Wait" standard of care, enabling early intervention in SMM patients before disease progression. The approval is based on the Phase 3 AQUILA study evaluating fixed-duration monotherapy daratumumab SC versus active monitoring in high-risk SMM patients.

Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) ha annunciato che Janssen-Cilag ha ottenuto l'approvazione dalla Commissione Europea per DARZALEX Faspro®, co-formulato con la tecnologia ENHANZE® di Halozyme, per il trattamento del mieloma multiplo smouldering ad alto rischio (SMM) in pazienti adulti.

Questa approvazione rappresenta un cambiamento significativo rispetto all'attuale standard di cura "Osservazione e Attesa", permettendo un intervento precoce nei pazienti con SMM prima della progressione della malattia. L'approvazione si basa sul Phase 3 AQUILA study che ha valutato la monoterapia a durata fissa con daratumumab SC rispetto al monitoraggio attivo in pazienti con SMM ad alto rischio.

Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ : HALO) a annoncé que Janssen-Cilag a obtenu l'approbation de la Commission européenne pour DARZALEX Faspro®, coformulé avec la technologie ENHANZE® de Halozyme, pour le traitement du myélome multiple smouldering à haut risque (SMM) chez les patients adultes.

Cette approbation marque un changement important par rapport à la prise en charge actuelle "Surveillance active", permettant une intervention précoce chez les patients atteints de SMM avant la progression de la maladie. L'approbation repose sur l'étude AQUILA de phase 3 évaluant la monothérapie à durée fixe de daratumumab SC versus la surveillance active chez les patients à haut risque de SMM.

Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ: HALO) gab bekannt, dass Janssen-Cilag die Zulassung der Europäischen Kommission für DARZALEX Faspro® erhalten hat, das mit der ENHANZE®-Technologie von Halozyme koformuliert ist, zur Behandlung von Hochrisiko-smouldering-multiplem Myelom (SMM) bei erwachsenen Patienten.

Diese Zulassung markiert eine bedeutende Abkehr vom bisherigen Standard "Beobachten und Abwarten" und ermöglicht eine frühzeitige Intervention bei SMM-Patienten vor dem Fortschreiten der Erkrankung. Die Zulassung basiert auf der Phase-3 AQUILA-Studie, in der eine fixe Dauer der Monotherapie mit subkutanem Daratumumab gegenüber aktivem Monitoring bei Hochrisiko-SMM-Patienten untersucht wurde.

Positive
  • First approved treatment for high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma, expanding DARZALEX Faspro market potential
  • Validation of ENHANZE technology in another therapeutic application
  • Addresses unmet medical need by enabling early intervention instead of 'watch and wait' approach
Negative
  • None.

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.
