Nipocalimab

Abstracts presented at ASH 2024 provide insight into the patient experience given the unpredictable nature of wAIHA, a rare autoantibody disease, and the uncertainty of current treatment approaches used to manage the condition There are no FDA-approved therapies indicated for wAIHA, and patients living with this condition need targeted treatment options with a proven safety and efficacy profile Johnson & Johnson is evaluating nipocalimab for the potential treatment of wAIHA in the Phase 2/3 ENERGY study, which is expected to read out in 2025 SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced today findings from several online abstracts and posters on patients living with warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA), a rare, life-threatening condition where autoantibodies lead to the premature destruction of red blood cells, at the 2024 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. These findings underscore the significant disease burden for the estimated one in 8,000 people living with wAIHA, including the high unmet need for targeted therapies with proven safety and efficacy profiles and the associated impact the disease has on healthcare utilization.1 "Approximately 50,000 people in the U.S. are living with wAIHA and grappling with devastating physical symptoms such as debilitating fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, and jaundice and in severe cases, chest pain or loss of consciousness, often with profound implications to their mental health," said Karen Jones, Executive Director of the patient advocacy group wAIHA Warriors and an abstract co-author.*2 "Our findings demonstrate the continued need for research into new treatment approaches for people living with this condition with the potential to maintain immune–function and reduce the need for invasive surgeries and repeat blood transfusions." Johnson & Johnson is collaborating with patient advocates and the scientific community to generate real-world evidence and harness the patient perspective to inform their clinical development process.3 Members of a global patient council shared their diagnosis and treatment journeys, the emotional and financial impacts of the disease, and their views about opportunities for improved management. These patients expressed high levels of anxiety related to the cyclical nature of the condition and lack of sustained disease control as well as dissatisfaction with current treatment management options.3,4 All council members experienced side effects from at least one treatment prescribed to them, none of which are indicated specifically for the treatment of wAIHA.3 This was also demonstrated in a sentiment analysis, which looked at over 22,000 conversations among adults who self-identified as having wAIHA, revealing that the most common negative sentiment themes for rituximab, a common treatment approach for the condition, were lack of efficacy and side effects.5 Two of the accepted posters established that wAIHA is associated with significant long-term healthcare resource utilization – including ongoing need for emergency and inpatient care – as demonstrated through observational studies on the healthcare utilization of individuals living with wAIHA in the United States and Sweden.6,7 These findings highlight the need to achieve greater disease control after initial wAIHA diagnosis.6,7 "Through observational and qualitative research in wAIHA, we are learning more about the unmet need for novel treatment approaches that address the underlying cause of disease and address the serious health consequences faced by the many people living with wAIHA," said Katie Abouzahr, M.D., Vice President, Autoantibody and Maternal Fetal Immunology Disease Area Leader, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "We are excited about the potential of our ongoing clinical program for investigational nipocalimab in this condition and look forward to sharing the results of our Phase 2/3 study next year." ABOUT WARM AUTOIMMUNE HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA (wAIHA) Warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) is a rare, life-threatening condition where autoantibodies lead to the premature destruction of red blood cells (RBCs), resulting in anemia.8 Approximately 1-3 new people per 100,000 are affected by wAIHA per year, and about 1 in 8,000 individuals are living with the condition.1,8 This condition affects both women and men, and can affect people at any age with incidence increasing over the age of 50.1,9 Additionally, people with wAIHA are at increased risk of other serious complications such as venous thrombotic events, acute renal failure, and infection.10 There are no Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs indicated for wAIHA, and treatment typically consists of corticosteroids, broad immunosuppressants and B-cell directed therapies.6 With an unmet need for treatment in wAIHA, continued research for evidence-based potential therapies is critical.10 ABOUT NIPOCALIMAB Nipocalimab is an investigational monoclonal antibody, designed to bind with high affinity to block FcRn and reduce levels of circulating immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies potentially without impact on other immune functions. This includes autoantibodies and alloantibodies that underlie multiple conditions across three key segments in the autoantibody space including Rare Autoantibody diseases, Maternal Fetal diseases mediated by maternal alloantibodies and Prevalent Rheumatology.11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 Blockade of IgG binding to FcRn in the placenta is also believed to limit transplacental transfer of maternal alloantibodies to the fetus.20,21 The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) have granted several key designations to nipocalimab including: U.S. FDA Fast Track designation in hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA) in July 2019, gMG in December 2021 and fetal neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in March 2024 U.S. FDA Orphan drug status for wAIHA in December 2019, HDFN in June 2020, gMG in February 2021, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) in October 2021 and FNAIT in December 2023 U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for HDFN in February 2024 and for Sjögren's disease in November 2024 EU EMA Orphan medicinal product designation for HDFN in October 2019 ABOUT JOHNSON & JOHNSON At Johnson & Johnson, we believe health is everything.

Lupus Nephritis Overview Lupus nephritis is a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organ systems. In lupus nephritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks the kidneys, leading to inflammation and damage. The exact cause is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, including infections and exposure to certain drugs or UV light. Symptoms of lupus nephritis can vary but often include swelling in the legs and feet, high blood pressure, foamy urine, and in severe cases, hematuria. Patients may also experience fatigue, joint pain, and skin rashes, typical of lupus. Diagnosis usually involves a combination of blood tests, urinalysis, and imaging studies. A kidney biopsy may be necessary to evaluate the extent of kidney damage and guide treatment. Treatment for lupus nephritis aims to reduce inflammation and prevent kidney damage. It often involves corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medications such as mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine. In severe cases, more aggressive treatments, including cyclophosphamide or biologic therapies like belimumab, may be utilized. Regular monitoring of kidney function and overall health is crucial for managing the disease effectively.
