DARZALEX® (daratumumab) receives positive CHMP opinion for patients with high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma
“The positive recommendation from the CHMP marks an important step towards addressing the needs of people living with high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma,” said Ester in’t Groen, EMEA Therapeutic Area Head Haematology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. “Early disease intervention with daratumumab has the potential to reduce the risk of progression to active multiple myeloma or death by 51 percent for patients with high-risk disease. Pending European Commission approval, patients and physicians will have an option to treat high-risk smouldering multiple myeloma, with the aim to intercept this complex blood cancer before it develops into active disease and importantly, before end-organ damage occurs.”
