RARITAN, N.J., September 17, 2019 - The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson announced today multiple data presentations from its prostate cancer and solid tumor portfolios will be featured at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Congress 2019, taking place September 27 to October 1 in Barcelona, Spain. Among Janssen's 12 accepted abstracts are an oral presentation reporting updated overall survival results from the ERLEADA® (apalutamide) Phase 3 SPARTAN study in patients with non-metastatic castration- resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC); patient-reported outcomes from the ERLEADA® Phase 3 TITAN study in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC), demonstrating preservation of overall health-related quality of life; and a late-breaking interim

analysis from the Phase 2 GALAHAD study evaluating niraparib in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and biallelic DNA-repair gene defects (DRD).
"Janssen is focused on addressing areas of unmet need in both prostate cancer and solid tumors, and this year's ESMO Annual Congress provides an opportunity to share these important study results for both approved and investigational therapies," said Mark Wildgust, Ph.D., Vice President, Global Medical Affairs, Oncology, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "In particular, we look forward to presenting new data for ERLEADA® and niraparib, which reinforce our continued commitment to improve outcomes for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer across the disease spectrum."

About ERLEADA® (apalutamide)
ERLEADA® (apalutamide) is an androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with nmCRPC.1 It became the first treatment to receive FDA approval for nmCRPC on February 14, 2018.1 ERLEADA® was also approved for the treatment of nmCRPC by the European Commission on January 12, 2019. ERLEADA® is being studied in five Phase 3 registrational clinical trials. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) for Prostate Cancer include apalutamide as a treatment option for patients with non-metastatic (M0) CRPC with a category 1 recommendation for those with a PSA doubling time ≤10 months*.2 Similarly, the American Urological Association (AUA) Guidelines for Castration- Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) recommend clinicians offer apalutamide (ERLEADA®) with continued androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as one of the treatment options for patients with nmCRPC at high risk for developing metastatic disease. (Standard; Evidence Level Grade A)**.3 ERLEADA® is taken orally, once daily, with or without food.1

About Niraparib
Niraparib is an orally-administered selective poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that is currently being studied by Janssen for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. In April 2016, Janssen entered a worldwide (except Japan) collaboration and license agreement with TESARO, Inc., for exclusive rights to niraparib in prostate cancer. In the U.S., niraparib is indicated for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy.4 Niraparib is currently marketed as ZEJULA® by TESARO, an oncology-focused business within GSK, devoted to providing transformative therapies to people facing cancer. Please refer to the full Prescribing Information available at https://www.zejula.com/prescribing-information.
About ZYTIGA® (abiraterone acetate)
ZYTIGA® (abiraterone acetate) in combination with prednisone is indicated for the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), approved by the U.S. FDA on April 28, 2011and by the European Commission on September 7, 2011. Additionally, ZYTIGA® was approved for the treatment of high-risk metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) by the European Commission on November 20, 2017and by the U.S. FDA on February 8, 2018. Since its first approval in the U.S. in 2011, ZYTIGA® has been approved in combination with prednisone or prednisolone, in more than 100 countries. More than 500,000 patients worldwide have been prescribed ZYTIGA®.
About BALVERSATM (erdafitinib)
BALVERSA™ (erdafitinib) is a once-daily, oral fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) that has susceptible FGFR3 or FGFR2 genetic alterations and who have progressed during or following at least one line of prior platinum-containing chemotherapy, including within 12 months of neoadjuvant or adjuvant platinum-containing chemotherapy.5 In
4
2008, Janssen entered into an exclusive worldwide license and collaboration agreement with Astex Pharmaceuticals to develop and commercialize BALVERSA™. This indication was approved by the U.S. FDA on April 12, 2019under an accelerated approval based on tumor response rate. Patients may be suitable for BALVERSA based on an FDA-approved companion diagnostic. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.5

ERLEADA™ IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Pregnancy - ERLEADA™ (apalutamide) can cause fetal harm and potential loss of pregnancy.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Falls and Fractures - In a randomized study (SPARTAN), falls and fractures occurred in 16% and 12% of patients treated with ERLEADA™ compared to 9% and 7% treated with placebo, respectively. Falls were not associated with loss of consciousness or seizure. Evaluate patients for fracture and fall risk. Monitor and manage patients at risk for fractures according to established treatment guidelines and consider use of bone targeted agents.
Seizure - In a randomized study (SPARTAN), 2 patients (0.2%) treated with ERLEADA™ experienced a seizure. Permanently discontinue ERLEADA™ in patients who develop a seizure during treatment. It is unknown whether anti-epileptic medications will prevent seizures with ERLEADA™. Advise patients of the risk of developing a seizure while receiving ERLEADA™ and of engaging in any activity where sudden loss of consciousness could cause harm to themselves or others.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse Reactions - The most common adverse reactions (≥10%) were fatigue, hypertension, rash, diarrhea, nausea, weight decreased, arthralgia, fall, hot flush, decreased appetite, fracture, and peripheral edema.
Laboratory Abnormalities - All Grades (Grade 3-4)
- Hematology - anemia ERLEADA™ 70% (0.4%), placebo 64% (0.5%); leukopenia ERLEADA™ 47% (0.3%), placebo 29% (0%); lymphopenia ERLEADA™ 41% (2%),
