Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced that the U.S. FDA selected the teclistamab MajesTEC‑3 supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) to participate in the Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNPV) Pilot Program. The Phase 3 MajesTEC‑3 study showed TECVAYLI (teclistamab‑cqyv) plus DARZALEX FASPRO significantly improved progression‑free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at three years vs. standard treatment in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) patients with 1‑3 prior lines of therapy.
