Johnson & Johnson Research Report

On December 9, 2013, Janssen Research & Development LLC (Janssen), part of Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (Johnson & Johnson), announced data from a study published in The Lancet Oncology, evaluating the safety and activity of ibrutinib as a single-agent therapy in patients over the age of 65 with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, N=29) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL, N=2). According to Janssen, the study achieved its primary endpoint of safety, with data demonstrating treatment with ibrutinib as an initial therapy was associated with adverse events (AEs) that were predominantly Grade 1 or 2 in nature. Janssen further revealed that efficacy data demonstrates that 71% (95% CI, 52.0-85.8) of patients treated with ibrutinib achieved an objective response (defined as complete or partial response). Janssen also concluded that it is estimated that more than 95% of patients would be alive and progression-free at two years, though estimates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were not reached at the median follow up of 22.1 months.
