Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Pharmaceutical Cos. said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Darzalex Faspro in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone for patients with blood cancer multiple myeloma after a first or subsequent relapse.

Janssen said the approval was for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of therapy, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor.

The approval marks the sixth indication for Darzalex Faspro in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

Janssen Biotech Inc. and Genmab A/S in August 2012 entered into a worldwide agreement, which granted Janssen an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize daratumumab.
