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.
