TAR-200 monotherapy shows highest complete response with sustained benefits in 12-month data from Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study (Cohort 2)Compelling first results from Cohort 4 of Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study show potential of TAR-200 monotherapy in patients with papillary-only, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancerRARITAN, N.J., April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today that new data from its leading oncology pipeline will be presented at the American Urological Association (AUA) 2025 Annual Meeting, taking place April 26-29 in Las Vegas. Among the highlights are the 12-month duration of response (DOR) data from the Phase 2b Cohort 2 SunRISe-1 study, evaluating TAR-200—an intravesical gemcitabine releasing system—for patients with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)—unresponsive, high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without papillary disease. These findings will be featured in the Practice-changing, Paradigm-shifting Clinical Trials in Urology plenary session on Saturday, April 26.Bladder cancer ranks among the top ten most common cancers worldwide, affecting nearly a million people each year.1 Despite advancements, standard treatment has remained largely unchanged for over 40 years, leaving patients with limited treatment options if initial BCG therapy does not work.2 TAR-200 delivers sustained medication directly into the bladder and, in a pre-clinical setting, has been shown to allow for depth of penetration across bladder tissue layers.3"Patients with bladder cancer need more effective treatment options that are both tolerable and easily incorporated into everyday practice, especially for those with HR-NMIBC, a highly recurrent disease that often necessitates difficult, life-altering decisions like bladder removal," said Yusri Elsayed, M.D., M.H.Sc., Ph.D., Global Therapeutic Area Head, Oncology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "TAR-200 provides a new approach, with clinical data showing an impressive complete response rate, meaning the cancer was undetectable following treatment. The highly anticipated 12-month duration of response findings from our Cohort 2, SunRISe-1 study further support the potential for patients to remain cancer-free for a clinically meaningful period."A second plenary presentation will feature first results from Cohort 4 of the Phase 2b SunRISe-1 study evaluating TAR-200 monotherapy in patients with BCG–unresponsive, papillary-only HR-NMIBC. In this patient population, bladder removal remains a standard treatment, but many patients are elderly, have significant comorbidities, or are unwilling to undergo radical surgery, making treatment challenging.4"Patients deserve more than the currently available treatment options
Real-world data study aims to improve treatment options for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma patientsCAMBRIDGE, Mass., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- nference, a company dedicated to transforming healthcare by making biomedical data computable, today announced a collaboration with BeiGene, Ltd, a global oncology company that intends to change its name to BeOne Medicines Ltd., to unlock new insights in treating B-cell cancers. The collaboration will leverage nference's proprietary Agentic AI platform to deepen understanding of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) treatment patterns. B-cell cancers, including CLL and SLL, are a group of malignancies affecting lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial to immune function. These cancers impact thousands, with CLL being the most common adult leukemia in the U.S. This retrospective descriptive analysis will review more than 700 patient charts to identify real-world treatment patterns
