Legend Biotech (NASDAQ:LEGN) announced Friday that Carvykti, the CAR-T cell therapy that the company commercializes with Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), met the primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial for patients with multiple myeloma.
The CARTITUDE-4 trial involved adults with relapsed and lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma who received one to three prior lines of therapy. The study tested Carvykti against standard MM treatment regimens called PVd and DPd.
CARTITUDE-4 met the primary endpoint indicating a statistically significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS), the company said, adding that investigators will continue to assess patients for primary and secondary endpoints.
