The FDA is reviewing the application through the Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) programme.

Data from the Phase III PAPILLON clinical trial, an open-label and randomised study, supported the sBLA. The trial is assessing the safety and efficacy of the combination therapy for this specific indication.

Janssen Research & Development Solid Tumours Clinical Development vice-president Kiran Patel said: “PAPILLON is the first randomised Phase III study in patients with NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations to show clinically meaningful results.

Furthermore, the current sBLA submission for RYBREVANT also aims to fulfil the accelerated approval’s regulatory criteria, which validates the positive clinical outcomes seen in the Phase 1 CHRYSALIS study.
