“We draw investors’ attention to the decision in late May by Johnson & Johnson (JNJ; not rated) to halt two trials of daratumumab (dara), an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, which was being tested in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (CIs). Committee (DMC) recommended that the Phase 1b/2 study (CALLISTO/LUC2001) of dara in combination with Tecentriq (atezolizumab) vs. Tecentriq monotherapy in patients with previously-treated advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) should be terminated. Tecentriq is a humanized monoclonal antibody against programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1). In addition, the Phase 1 MMY2036 study of dara plus JNJ-63723283, an anti PD-1 antibody, in patients with multiple myeloma is being discontinued.”
