Treating Multiple Myeloma

Treatment aims to extend survival by stopping or slowing down growth and spread of myeloma cells. In addition, therapy can alleviate patients’ symptoms and complications, and improve quality of life.

Emerging Targets
Despite substantial treatment progress, MM remains an incurable disease. Emerging therapeutics, including those with novel mechanisms of action, are offering new options for patients with MM.[1]

Janssens heritage in Multiple Myeloma

At Janssen, we have more than 30 years of innovation in oncology. Collaborations with Millennium Pharmaceuticals/Takeda Oncology and Genmab have allowed us to co-develop and commercialise a proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (co-developed by Millennium/Takeda and Janssen), and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody (mAb) daratumumab (co-developed by Genmab and Janssen). These products have helped to improve the lives of thousands of patients. We continue our commitment to research and development of new treatments and believe that collaboration with external partners is key to advancing patient care.

As the Multiple Myeloma treatment landscape is rapidly evolving, continuous education is paramount. At Janssen, we are committed to delivering high-quality medical education built on a platform of knowledge exchange and innovation. To help achieve this, we are privileged to have the support and participation of the internationally renowned experts who form our scientific committees and faculties. Their involvement ensures that we continue to provide clinically relevant and balanced education.
