For the quarter, sales in the US increased 22.5% to USD 1395 million, while sales in the rest of the world increased 22.3% to USD 1155 million.

For the full year, Darzalex sales grew 22.2% to USD 9.744 billion. Genmab’s forecast was 9.8-10 billion dollars.

Genmab has developed Darzalex, which is used to treat bone marrow cancer, while Johnson & Johnson has the marketing rights and pays sales commissions to Genmab.
