Janssen / Johnson & Johnson

Janssen / Johnson & Johnson works on 15 rare diseases tracked on Trial Friend, including Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, Dermatomyositis and 12 more, with 73 active clinical trials (31 recruiting) and 7 FDA-approved rare disease drugs.

Janssen, the pharmaceutical division of Johnson & Johnson, works across several therapeutic areas, including rare neurological, blood and immune disorders. In April 2025, the FDA approved Imaavy (nipocalimab), an FcRn blocker, for generalized myasthenia gravis in patients 12 and older who are anti-AChR or anti-MuSK antibody positive. In August 2026, Imaavy became the first FDA-approved treatment for warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia, for patients 12 and older who are taking or have taken corticosteroids. Nipocalimab is also in trials for CIDP, Sjögren's disease and pregnancies at risk of hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn.

Janssen / Johnson & Johnson Drug Pipeline

Janssen / Johnson & Johnson has 73 active clinical trials across 5 development stages, with 31 currently recruiting participants. Clinical trials advance through phases: Phase 1 tests safety in a small group, Phase 2 evaluates effectiveness and side effects, Phase 3 confirms benefit in a larger population, and Phase 4 monitors long-term safety after FDA approval.

Note: This pipeline counts the active and recruiting trials listed on this page, from ClinicalTrials.gov. For companies that work outside rare disease, we list only trials for rare diseases we track, so the company's full pipeline may be larger.

Janssen / Johnson & Johnson Clinical Trials (73)

Active and recruiting clinical trials sponsored by Janssen / Johnson & Johnson, sourced live from ClinicalTrials.gov. Each trial card shows the study phase, current recruitment status, conditions under investigation, study locations, eligibility criteria, and a direct link to the full ClinicalTrials.gov record. You can also download a one-page PDF summary to share with your doctor.

Note: Recruitment statuses on ClinicalTrials.gov may not immediately reflect recent FDA decisions, sponsor announcements, or enrollment changes. Always confirm a trial's current status directly with the study coordinator.

RECRUITINGPHASE1Recently updatedNCT07105059

A Study of Teclistamab and Mezigdomide in People With Multiple Myeloma

Intervention: Teclistamab, Mezigdomide

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether combining teclistamab and mezigdomide is a safe and effective treatment approach in people with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).

Infliximab for Cytokine Release Syndrome Prophylaxis During Teclistamab or Talquetamab Therapy in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Myeloma

Intervention: Biospecimen Collection, Bone Marrow Biopsy, Computed Tomography, Infliximab, Positron Emission Tomography, Talquetamab, Teclistamab, X-Ray Imaging

This phase II trial tests how well giving infliximab works for the prevention of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) during treatment with teclistamab or talquetamab in patients with multiple myeloma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). CRS and neurologic toxicity (damage to the nervous system which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves) are potential risks of treatment with talquetamab and teclistamab. CRS involves a release of a large amount of proteins into the bloodstream causing inflammation. This may cause changes in blood pressure and heartbeat, flu-like symptoms (nausea, fever, and chills), and/or affect the lung/liver/kidney function. It may also cause certain brain-related symptoms, such as dizziness, weakness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and/or decreased brain function (possible paralysis and/or coma). Infliximab is a drug that prevents the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from working. TNF-α is a cytokine, or chemical messenger, that helps your immune system produce inflammation. Giving infliximab may work well for the prevention of cytokine release syndrome during treatment with teclistamab or talquetamab in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

Relapsed or Refractory Multiple MyelomaPreviously Treated Amyloid Light-chain (AL) Amyloidosis

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D\[s\]) and schedule(s) to be safe for JNJ-79635322 in Part 1 (dose escalation), and to characterize the safety and tolerability of JNJ-79635322 at the RP2D(s) selected and in disease subgroups in Part 2 (dose expansion).

Intervention: Teclistamab, Daratumumab, Lenalidomide, Dexamethasone, Talquetamab

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of teclistamab in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tec-DR) and talquetamab in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide (Tal-DR) versus daratumumab, lenalidomide, dexamethasone (DRd).
