IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib) Supplemental New Drug Application for Treatment-naïve Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Submitted to the U.S. FDA

NEWS RELEASE IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib) Supplemental New Drug Application for Treatment-naïve Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Submitted to the U.S. FDA 9/14/2015 IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) Supplemental New Drug Application for Treatment-naïve Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Submitted to the U.S. FDA Submission seeking potential fth indication based on data from the Phase 3 RESONATE-2 (PCYC-1115) trial HORSHAM, PA, September 14, 2015 - A supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) has been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for front-line use in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), Janssen Biotech Inc. announced today. The ling is based on data from the randomized, multi-center, open-label Phase 3 RESONATE-2 (PCYC-1115) trial assessing the use of ibrutinib versus chlorambucil in patients with treatment-naïve CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) aged 65 years or older. IMBRUVICA is jointly developed and commercialized by Janssen and Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company. Pharmacyclics is the investigational new drug (IND) holder for IMBRUVICA in the U.S. and submitted the application to the FDA on behalf of the companies. "Treatment-naïve patients with this disease typically relapse or become refractory to standard chemotherapy, so new options are greatly needed to potentially change the CLL/SLL treatment paradigm," said Jan Burger, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Leukemia, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX and study lead investigator. The RESONATE-2 trial enrolled 269 patients with treatment-naïve CLL/SLL aged 65 years or older in the U.S., EU and other regions. Patients were randomized to receive either ibrutinib 420 mg orally, once daily until progression or toxicity or chlorambucil 0.5 to 0.8 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 12 cycles. At the time of the nal analysis, the primary endpoint was met, with ibrutinib shown to be superior to chlorambucil in terms of ® &#8482 ® ™ 1 progression-free survival (PFS). In addition, ibrutinib demonstrated signicant improvements in key secondary ecacy endpoints, including overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR) and in hematologic function. "This submission to expand the use of IMBRUVICA for patients with treatment-naïve CLL is very signicant, as this patient population represents the largest group of patients with CLL," said Peter F. Lebowitz, M.D., Ph.D., Global Oncology Head, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "The submission highlights our commitment to developing medicines that truly transform treatment paradigms and patient outcomes, as well as our commitment to further develop IMBRUVICA in hematologic malignancies." The RESONATE-2 trial was sponsored by Pharmacyclics. The data have been submitted for presentation at an upcoming medical conference and for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. More information about the study can be found on www.clinicaltrials.gov. Janssen Research & Development, LLC and Pharmacyclics are continuing an extensive clinical development program for IMBRUVICA, including Phase 3 study commitments in multiple patient populations. About CLL CLL is a slow-growing blood cancer that most commonly arises from B cells, a type of white blood cell (lymphocyte) that originates in the bone marrow. CLL is predominantly a disease of the elderly, with a median age of 71 at diagnosis. About IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) IMBRUVICA was one of the rst therapies to receive U.S. approval after having received the FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation. IMBRUVICA works by blocking a specic protein called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). The BTK protein transmits important signals that tell B cells to mature and produce antibodies and is needed by specic cancer cells to multiply and spread. IMBRUVICA targets and blocks BTK, inhibiting cancer cell survival and spread. For more information, visit www.IMBRUVICA.com. Additional Information about IMBRUVICA INDICATIONS IMBRUVICA is indicated to treat people with: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have received at least one prior therapy Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletion Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on overall response rate. Continued 1,2 3 ® 1 1,4 1 ® ® 2 approval for this indication may be contingent upon verication of clinical benet in conrmatory trials. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hemorrhage - Fatal bleeding events have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Grade 3 or higher bleeding events (subdural hematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria, and post-procedural hemorrhage) have occurred in up to 6% of patients. Bleeding events of any grade, including bruising and petechiae, occurred in approximately half of patients treated with IMBRUVICA. The mechanism for the bleeding events is not well understood. IMBRUVICA may increase the risk of hemorrhage in patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapies. Consider the benet-risk of withholding IMBRUVICA for at least 3 to 7 days pre and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding. Infections - Fatal and non-fatal infections have occurred with IMBRUVICA therapy. Grade 3 or greater infections occurred in 14% to 26% of patients. Cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Monitor patients for fever and infections and evaluate promptly. Cytopenias - Treatment-emergent Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias including neutropenia (range, 19 to 29%), thrombocytopenia (range, 5 to 17%), and anemia (range, 0 to 9%) occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Monitor complete blood counts monthly. Atrial Fibrillation - Atrial brillation and atrial utter (range, 6 to 9%) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA, particularly in patients with cardiac risk factors, acute infections, and a previous history of atrial brillation. Periodically monitor patients clinically for atrial brillation. Patients who develop arrhythmic symptoms (e.g., palpitations, lightheadedness) or new-onset dyspnea should have an ECG performed. If atrial brillation persists, consider the risks and benets of IMBRUVICA treatment and dose modication. Second Primary Malignancies - Other malignancies (range, 5 to 14%) including non-skin carcinomas (range, 1 to 3%) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer (range, 4 to 11%). Tumor Lysis Syndrome - Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported with IMBRUVICA therapy. Monitor patients closely and take appropriate precautions in patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome (e.g., high tumor burden). Embryo-Fetal Toxicity - Based on ndings in animals, IMBRUVICA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking IMBRUVICA. If this drug is used during ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® 3 pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus.
