J&J & Legend Biotech’s Multiple Myeloma CAR-T Therapy Receives Recommendation From European Medicines Agency – $JNJ $LEGN $DIA

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Reportedly, the European Medicines Agency has recommended the use of CAR-T therapy to treat multiple myeloma by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and its partner Legend Biotech Corp. (LEGN) nearly a month after the treatment was cleared in the United States. The drug now needs the approval of the European Commission, as it holds the final word on market access. The drug was initially tested in China and later in the United States and Japan, however, the drugs that have only been tested in China have faced increased scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. 

Carvykti is a part of drugs known as CAR-T therapies (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapies), which involves extracting disease-fighting T-cells from a patient, re-engineering them to attack cancer, and then infusing them back into the body. Legend Biotech Corp and J&J plan to sell the drug in Greater China at 70-30 profit and a 50-50 profit in all other countries.
