DGAP-News: MorphoSys' Licensee Announces Approval by the European Commission for Tremfya(R) (guselkumab) for Treatment of Adults with Active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)

News Provided by Accesswire2020-12-02
30 Views

PLANEGG, MUNICH, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / December 2, 2020 /MorphoSys AG (FSE:MOR; Prime Standard Segment; MDAX & TecDAX; NASDAQ:MOR) announced today that its licensee Janssen Research & Development, LLC. (Janssen) reported the European Commission's approval for the use of Tremfya(R) (guselkumab) in the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to a prior disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy.

Developed and marketed by Janssen, Tremfya is the first approved fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23-an important driver of the progression of inflammatory diseases1 and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. It was generated utilizing MorphoSys' proprietary HuCAL(R) antibody technology and became the first drug based on MorphoSys' antibody technology to receive regulatory approval for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in 2017. Tremfya is currently approved in 76 countries for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy2, and in Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Japan, Taiwan, and the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with active PsA.

"As a new, first-in-its-class treatment option for patients with psoriatic arthritis, Tremfya provides much-needed treatment opportunities to improve the lives of patients suffering from this debilitating disease," said Dr. Malte Peters, Chief Research and Development Officer at MorphoSys. "We are very pleased and extremely proud that Tremfya has been approved by the European Commission for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis in the European Union."

PsA is a multifaceted, chronic, immune-mediated, inflammatory disease that is progressive and irreversible. It is characterized by debilitating joint damage, inflammation, enthesitis, dactylitis, axial disease, and skin lesions generally associated with psoriasis. In addition, due to the stiffness and the painful swelling of the joints and the connective tissue, carrying out daily tasks can become difficult.3,4 There is no known cure, and it is estimated that up to a third of the 14 million people who are living with psoriasis in Europe will also go on to develop PsA.5,6

As Janssen announced, the approval for this new indication is based on the results of Janssen's DISCOVER-1 and DISCOVER-2 Phase 3 clinical studies, which assessed the safety and efficacy of guselkumab in adult patients with active PsA. In both studies, guselkumab was well-tolerated, and observed adverse events (AEs) were generally consistent with previous studies of guselkumab and the current prescribing information.

The approval by the European Commission for Tremfya follows a CHMP positive opinion in October 2020 for treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis in the European Union (EU).

About the DISCOVER Program

DISCOVER-1 and DISCOVER-2 were Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that evaluated the safety and efficacy of Tremfya(R) in 1,120 adult patients with active PsA who had inadequate response to standard therapies. DISCOVER-1 evaluated 381 participants with active PsA who had an inadequate response to standard therapies, including participants previously treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha biologics. DISCOVER-2 included 739 patients who were biologic-naïve only and had an inadequate response to standard therapies.
