In July 2012, Genmab entered into a collaboration with Janssen Biotech, Inc. to create and develop bispecific antibodies using Genmab's DuoBody technology platform. This is the first CHMP opinion for a product that was created using Genmab's proprietary DuoBody technology platform.

"Following the U.S. FDA approval of RYBREVANT(R) earlier this year, we are extremely pleased that the CHMP has granted Janssen a positive opinion for amivantamab, the first such opinion for a product created using Genmab's DuoBody technology platform. We are hopeful that this opinion will lead to an approval and to the first treatment option for European patients with advanced NSCLC with activating EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.
