[Slide 1] AQUILA: Conclusions In this large phase 3 study in a well-defined population with high-risk SMM, DARA SC monotherapy for 36 months demonstrated a statistically significant PFS benefit versus active monitoring (HR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.36-0.67]) - The greatest PFS benefit with DARA was observed among patients with high-risk SMM retrospectively identified by Mayo 2018 criteria (HR, 0.36 [95% CI, 0.23-0.58]) DARA prolonged PFS on first-line treatment for MM (HR, 0.58 [95% CI, 0.35-0.96]) DARA demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with a low rate of treatment discontinuation due to TEAEs There was no detriment to patients' health-related quality of life, with a trend toward improvement with DARA DARA extended overall survival (HR, 0.52 [95% CI, 0.27-0.98]) AQUILA strongly favored early intervention with DARA monotherapy in patients with high-risk SMM, representing an opportunity to delay or avoid end-organ damage and progression to MM and to extend overall survival 12 Presented by MA Dimopoulos at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition: December 7-10. 2024: San Diego, CA.

[Slide 1] 2.3 Uncertain benefit-risk of Dara SC in patients with high-risk SMM Interpreting a drug's benefit-risk requires an examination of the clinical trial evidence and understanding its limitations. As discussed previously, the study endpoints, as defined in the AQUILA trial, are of uncertain clinical meaningfulness in SMM. While the trial met its primary PFS endpoint there is uncertainty in the benefit of delaying progression to MM in the absence of a significant improvement in OS. Additionally, the observed difference in progression was primarily due to differences observed in the biochemical or lab parameters (SLiM criteria). FDA has concerns with generalizing the results observed in the AQUILA trial to a high-risk SMM patient population as the majority of participants enrolled would be classified as intermediate and low-risk based on the current risk- stratification definitions. When considering the risks associated with the AQUILA trial, participants received Dara SC as monotherapy for up to three years. More participants on the Dara SC arm experienced TEAEs, Grade 3-4 TEAEs, serious adverse events, and dose discontinuations and modifications compared to the ACTM arm. Several symptomatic AEs, musculoskeletal pain (Dara SC 59%, ACTM 42%), upper respiratory tract infection (Dara SC 52%, ACTM 17%), fatigue (Dara SC 42%, ACTM 21%), diarrhea (Dara SC 27%, ACTM 5%), nasopharyngitis (Dara SC 28%, ACTM 12%), sleep disorder (Dara SC 24%, ACTM 5%), Rash (Dara SC 24%, ACTM 5%), and sensory neuropathy (Dara SC 20%, ACTM 8%) were higher in the Dara SC arm compared to the ACTM arm. Additionally, there were several limitations to the patient reported outcomes (PRO) --- [Slide 2] assessments, such as infrequent assessment. With limited and sparse collection, PRO data were not informative for determination of the benefit-risk. Overall, given the limitations of the clinical meaningfulness of the efficacy findings and the toxicity observed with three years of treatment with Dara SC, there is uncertainty regarding the benefit-risk profile of Dara SC for patients with high-risk SMM.

About the AQUILA Trial

AQUILA is a phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial (NCT03301220) evaluating subcutaneous daratumumab (Darzalex Faspro) monotherapy versus active monitoring in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma. The trial enrolled 390 patients and demonstrated that daratumumab significantly delayed progression to active myeloma. FDA approved November 6, 2025 - the first treatment for smoldering myeloma.

FDA Approval

FDA APPROVED Darzalex Faspro (daratumumab and hyaluronidase-fihj) — High-risk smoldering multiple myeloma

FDA approved November 6, 2025 - first treatment for smoldering myeloma. Based on AQUILA (NCT03301220). PFS HR 0.49 (p<0.0001), 51% risk reduction. ODAC voted 6-2 in favor. Only indicated for high-risk SMM, not other risk categories.

Source: FDA (November 6, 2025)

Trial Methodology & Results

Study Design

Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial comparing subcutaneous daratumumab monotherapy versus active monitoring in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.

Population

Adults with high-risk smoldering MM. 41% met 2+ criteria: serum monoclonal protein >2 g/dL, involved-to-uninvolved serum-free light chain ratio >20, and bone marrow plasma cells >20%.

Interventions

Darzalex Faspro 1,800 mg/30,000 units SC - weekly (wks 1-8), every 2 weeks (wks 9-24), then every 4 weeks until 39 cycles (up to 36 months) versus active monitoring.

Primary Endpoint

Progression-free survival (PFS) by independent review committee, defined as progression to active MM (IMWG SLiM-CRAB criteria) or death.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

51% reduction in risk of progression to active myeloma or death. Median PFS not reached versus 41.5 months with active monitoring (HR 0.49; 95% CI: 0.36-0.67; p<0.0001). Benefit greatest in highest-risk patients (HR 0.36).

PFS HR 0.49 — 51% risk reduction vs monitoring

Overall Survival (OS)

Early OS trend favors daratumumab but data are not mature. The FDA sought ODAC input specifically due to concerns about lack of robust OS data.

Safety & Tolerability

Grade 3+ AEs in 40.4% versus 30.1% with monitoring. Hypertension most common G3+ (5.7%). Pneumonia 3.6% vs 0.5%. Systemic administration reactions in 17%. 6.7% discontinued due to AEs.

Treating SMM is debated; ODAC voted 6-2

Clinical Implications

FDA approved November 6, 2025 - first treatment for smoldering myeloma. However, ODAC voted 6-2, reflecting field division. Control group median time to progression was 41.5 months - raising overtreatment concerns. Experts emphasize shared decision-making: not every high-risk SMM patient needs immediate treatment.
