TREMFYA® subcutaneous induction demonstrates significant rates of clinical remission and endoscopic improvement at Week 24 in ulcerative colitis Findings build on recent FDA-approval of both routes of administration for induction therapy with TREMFYA® in Crohn's disease SAN DIEGO, May 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) today announced new data from the Phase 3 ASTRO study evaluating TREMFYA® (guselkumab) subcutaneous (SC) induction therapy in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The ASTRO Week 24 data build on the Week 12 SC induction data that showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements compared to placebo across all clinical and endoscopic measures consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved intravenous (IV) induction regimen evaluated in this population, in the Phase 3 QUASAR study.1,2 TREMFYA® is the first and only IL-23 inhibitor to demonstrate robust results with a fully SC regimen. These findings are among 24 abstracts highlighting the Company's research being presented at Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2025. Data at Week 24 show patients treated with TREMFYA® 400 mg SC induction followed by SC maintenance dose regimens of either 100 mg every eight weeks (q8w) or 200 mg every four weeks (q4w) demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across all clinical and endoscopic measures compared with patients receiving placebo.1 "Data from the ASTRO study demonstrate that subcutaneous induction treatment with TREMFYA provides clinically meaningful remission in patients with ulcerative colitis, similar to the effects seen with intravenous induction," said Millie Long, M.D., MPH, Professor of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and study investigator.e "The availability of both subcutaneous and intravenous induction options would offer physicians and patients greater flexibility in their treatment approach." Furthermore, at Week 24, in prespecified analyses of subpopulations defined by prior advanced therapy treatment status, TREMFYA® demonstrated statistically significant results across endpoints in both biologic and JAK inhibitor-naïve and biologic and JAK inhibitor-refractory patients. Safety data from the ASTRO study were consistent with the well-established safety profile of TREMFYA®.1 "These results highlight the potential of TREMFYA to redefine ulcerative colitis care with a fully subcutaneous induction and maintenance regimen that offers a convenient option with meaningful clinical and endoscopic improvements," said Esi Lamousé-Smith, MD, PhD, Vice President, Gastroenterology Disease Area Lead, Immunology, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "Our goal is to reshape UC care and empower prescribers with a differentiated and effective treatment that offers the option of patient self-administration from day one." TREMFYA® is the first and only approved, dual-acting monoclonal antibody that blocks IL-23 while also binding to CD64, a receptor on cells that produce IL-23. IL-23 is a cytokine secreted by activated monocyte/macrophages and dendritic cells that is known to be a driver of immune-mediated diseases including UC.3,4,5,6,7 TREMFYA® received FDA approval in September 2024 for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active UC and is currently administered via an IV induction regimen, followed by a SC maintenance regimen. In November 2024, a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) was submitted to the FDA seeking approval of a SC induction regimen of TREMFYA® for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active UC. TREMFYA® was also approved by the FDA in March 2025 for SC and IV induction options for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). For a full list of all data being presented at DDW visit: Editor's Notes: a. Clinical remission was defined as a Mayo stool frequency subscore of 0 or 1 and not increased from baseline, a Mayo rectal bleeding subscore of 0, and a Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0, or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. b. Symptomatic remission per Mayo score is defined as a stool frequency subscore of 0 (normal number of stools) or 1 (1 to 2 stools more than normal) and a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 (no blood seen). c. Endoscopic improvement was defined as an endoscopy subscore of 0 or 1 with no friability present on the endoscopy. d. Clinical response is defined as decrease from baseline in the modified Mayo score by greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) and >=2 points, with either a >=1-point decrease from baseline in the rectal bleeding subscore or a rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1. e.

ABOUT THE ASTRO STUDY (NCT05528510) ASTRO is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter, treat-through Phase 3 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TREMFYA® SC induction therapy (400 mg at Weeks 0, 4, and 8) in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who had an inadequate response or intolerance to conventional therapy (e.g., thiopurines or corticosteroids), prior biologics (TNF antagonists or vedolizumab) and/or ozanimod or approved JAK inhibitors. Patients (n = 418) were randomized 1:1:1 to receive TREMFYA® 400 mg SC induction at Weeks 0, 4 and 8 followed by TREMFYA® 200 mg SC every 4 weeks (q4w); or TREMFYA® 400 mg SC induction at Weeks 0, 4 and 8, followed by TREMFYA® 100 mg SC every 8 weeks (q8w); or placebo. The maintenance dose regimens in ASTRO (200 mg SC q4w and 100 mg SC q8w) are the same as those evaluated in the Phase 3 QUASAR program which established the efficacy and safety profile of IV induction followed by SC maintenance therapy in patients with moderate to severely active UC.8 ABOUT ULCERATIVE COLITIS Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic disease of the large intestine, also known as the colon, in which the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops tiny open sores, or ulcers, that produce pus and mucus. It is the result of the immune system's overactive response. Symptoms vary but may typically include loose and more urgent bowel movements, rectal bleeding or bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and fatigue.9 ABOUT TREMFYA® (guselkumab) Developed by Johnson & Johnson, TREMFYA® is the first approved fully-human, dual-acting monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize inflammation at the cellular source by blocking IL-23 and binding to CD64 (a receptor on cells that produce IL-23). Findings for dual-acting are limited to in vitro studies that demonstrate guselkumab binds to CD64, which is expressed on the surface of IL-23 producing cells in an inflammatory monocyte model. The clinical significance of this finding is not known.
