Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) announced groundbreaking results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study evaluated RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® for first-line treatment of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

The combination therapy demonstrated statistically significant improvement in overall survival compared to osimertinib, with a projected survival exceeding four years - more than one year longer than the current standard of care. At 37.8 months median follow-up, the treatment showed a significant reduction in death risk (HR: 0.75, P=0.005).

The drug combination's triple mode of action targets EGFR mutations, blocks MET, and engages the immune system, potentially changing the disease's natural progression by reducing resistance mechanisms. The safety profile remained consistent with previous analyses, with most adverse events occurring early in treatment.

Insights

RYBREVANT + LAZCLUZE significantly extends lung cancer survival beyond 4 years, offering major advancement over standard therapy.

The Phase 3 MARIPOSA study results published in The New England Journal of Medicine represent a significant breakthrough in treating EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. This combination therapy demonstrated a 25% reduction in mortality risk (hazard ratio 0.75) compared to osimertinib, with projected survival exceeding four years versus the current standard of three years.

What makes this advancement particularly remarkable is the chemotherapy-free approach. The combination's triple mechanism of action—targeting EGFR mutations from multiple angles, blocking MET, and engaging the immune system—appears to fundamentally alter disease progression by reducing acquired resistance mechanisms that typically limit treatment efficacy.

For context, EGFR mutations occur in approximately 10-15% of Western and up to 40% of Asian lung cancer patients. Prior to this, sequential monotherapy treatments would eventually fail as tumors developed resistance. The projected one-year survival extension represents a substantial clinical benefit in this aggressive cancer type.

The safety profile remains consistent with earlier analyses, with most adverse events occurring early in treatment. The development of prophylactic measures to manage skin reactions, infusion-related reactions, and thromboembolic events further enhances the clinical utility of this regimen.

This combination potentially establishes a new first-line standard of care that preserves chemotherapy options for later treatment lines—a significant advantage in treatment sequencing strategy that maximizes patients' long-term outcomes.

Chemotherapy-free combination regimen ushers in new era for first-line treatment, with overall survival projected to exceed four years, surpassing monotherapy TKI osimertinib by more than one year

RARITAN, N.J., Sept. 7, 2025 /PR Newswire/ � Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) today announced The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published results from the Phase 3 MARIPOSA study, which showed RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) plus LAZCLUZE® (lazertinib) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival (OS) improvement for patients with previously untreated (first-line) locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletions (ex19del) or L858R substitution mutations.1The article is available with free access here for a limited time.

At a median follow-up of 37.8 months, RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® showed a statistically significant reduction in the risk of death compared to osimertinib (hazard ratio [HR], 0.75; 95 percent confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.92, P=0.005). The median OS for the combination has not yet been reached (95 percentCI, 42.9-not estimable). Median OS for the combination is projected to exceed over four years (absolute increase of over one year) compared to the median of three years observed with osimertinib.1

"This is a turning point in how we treat EGFR-mutated lung cancer," said Professor James Chih-Hsin Yang*, M.D., Ph.D., Director, National Taiwan University Cancer Center, Taipei, Taiwan, and lead author on the NEJM manuscript. "We're now seeing the potential for patients to live significantly longer than we thought possible. Starting with RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE may prevent common types of resistance and reserves chemotherapy for later lines of therapy, which can help achieve the best possible outcomes."

Through the triple mode of action, which includes targeting EGFR mutations from two angles, blocking MET, and engaging the immune system, the combination of RYBREVANT® and LAZCLUZE® has the potential to change the natural history of the disease by reducing the spectrum and complexity of acquired resistance mechanisms.2

"We're changing the trajectory of this disease," said Joshua Bauml, M.D., Vice President, Disease Area Leader, Lung Cancer, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "Patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer have waited too long for meaningful progress. Now, we're delivering survival outcomes that raise expectations and redefine what first-line treatment can achieve."

The safety profile of RYBREVANT® plus LAZCLUZE® was consistent with the primary analysis and no new safety signals emerged with longer-term follow-up. Most AEs (grade 3 or higher) occurred early in treatment.RYBREVANT® studies suggest that using prophylactic measures can help lower the risk of skin reactions, infusion-related reactions and venous thromboembolic events.3,4,5

About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Worldwide, lung cancer is one of the most common cancers, with NSCLC making up 80 to 85 percent of all lung cancer cases.23,24 The main subtypes of NSCLC are adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma.25 Among the most common driver mutations in NSCLC are alterations in EGFR, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase controlling cell growth and division.26 EGFR mutations are present in 10 to 15 percent of Western patients with NSCLC with adenocarcinoma histology and occur in 40 to 50 percent of Asian patients.23,24,27,28,29,30 EGFR ex19del or EGFR L858R mutations are the most common EGFR mutations.31 The five-year survival rate for all people with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is less than 20 percent.32,33EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations are the third most prevalent activating EGFR mutation.34 Patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations have a real-world five-year overall survival (OS) of eight percent in the frontline setting, which is worse than patients with EGFR ex19del or L858R mutations, who have a real-world five-year OS of 19 percent.35
