CARVYKTI® market leadership and clinical impact
CARVYKTI is the top-selling CAR-T in a single quarter and the first/only CAR-T with demonstrated overall survival benefit in multiple myeloma.
Demonstrated median overall survival of 60.7 months and ≥5-year remission in one-third of patients in CARTITUDE-1, with median PFS of 35 months in late-line and over 50 months in earlier lines.
Early-line (second to fourth line) use now accounts for 60% of CARVYKTI revenue, targeting 75% by year-end, with market penetration in these lines at only 5% and ambitions to reach 20%.
Earlier use leads to higher overall survival and improved safety, with parkinsonism rates reduced from 6% to 1% in recent studies.
Community and outpatient adoption is a key growth driver, with about one-third of U.S. sites in community settings, over half of treatments now outpatient, and 80% of the US market within 50 miles of a CARVYKTI site.
Strategic partnerships and expansion
Partnership with Johnson & Johnson features a 50/50 global profit split (30/70 in China), supporting global expansion and de-risking execution.
Largest multiple myeloma CAR-T program to date, with four operational manufacturing sites worldwide.
Expansion into earlier lines of therapy through ongoing CARTITUDE-2, -5, and -6 studies, with enrollment complete for key Phase II/III trials and readouts expected between 2026 and 2029.
Updated NCCN guidelines now recommend Talvey as bridging therapy to BCMA CAR-T, supporting safer and more effective CARVYKTI use.
China commercialization will focus on off-the-shelf, lower-cost CAR-Ts due to supply and pricing constraints.
