Janssen to Showcase Robust Oncology Portfolio at ESMO 2018 Congress

San Francisco, CA USA (UroToday.com) --  The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson will present updates from across its oncology portfolio at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 annual congress, taking place on 19-23 October in Munich, Germany. Phase 3 data from the SPARTAN study reporting health-related quality of life outcomes in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with apalutamide will be included in a poster session, with a further poster session highlighting data for ZYTIGA®  (abiraterone acetate) in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. For erdafitinib in metastatic bladder cancer, a poster session will include an overview of the Phase 3 clinical trial design, and results from a Phase 2a study in advanced cholangiocarcinoma will be featured in a poster discussion.

Abstracts include clinical updates across solid tumor targeted therapies
  • Quality of life outcomes from Phase 3 SPARTAN clinical trial of apalutamide in non- metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
  • Practice informing PSA dynamics data from pivotal Phase 3 LATITUDE trial assessing ZYTIGA® plus prednisone and Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
  • Presentation of erdafitinib Phase 3 study design in metastatic or surgically unresectable (M/UR) urothelial carcinoma
“We are proud to share such robust data and across a range of tumor types at this year’s ESMO congress,” said Dr. Ivo Winiger-Candolfi M.D., Europe, Middle East and Africa Oncology Solid Tumor Therapy Area Lead, Cilag GmbH International. “We are particularly excited to present health-related quality of life data from the SPARTAN trial, results that were recently published in The Lancet Oncology. Transforming patient outcomes is a key commitment for us at Janssen, and helping patients maintain quality of life while on treatment can be as important as their clinical outcome.”
