Recent Events
- AbbVie announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Rinvoq (upadacitinib, 45 mg (induction dose) and 15 mg and 30 mg (maintenance dose)) for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. The approval is supported by data from two Phase 3 induction studies and one maintenance study. In these studies, significantly more patients treated with Rinvoq achieved the primary and all secondary endpoints compared to placebo. The safety of Rinvoq, including the 45 mg dose as induction therapy, in these studies was generally consistent with the known safety profile of Rinvoq, with no new important safety risks observed. This approval marks the first indication for Rinvoq in gastroenterology and represents Rinvoq's fourth FDA approved indication.
- AbbVie announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 induction study U-EXCEL, which showed Rinvoq (45 mg, once daily) achieved both primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response, compared to placebo at week 12, as well as most key secondary endpoints in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). The safety results in this study were consistent with the known profile of Rinvoq, with no new safety risks observed. U-EXCEL is the second of two Phase 3 induction studies to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rinvoq in adults with moderate to severe CD and full results will be presented at upcoming medical conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal. Positive top-line results from the Phase 3 portion of the first induction study, U-EXCEED, were announced in December 2021 and the maintenance study for both clinical trials is ongoing.
- AbbVie announced that the FDA extended the review period for Skyrizi (risankizumab) for the treatment of moderate to severe CD by three months to review additional data submitted by AbbVie, including information about the on-body injector. Currently approved indications for Skyrizi were not affected by this extension. Skyrizi is a collaboration between Boehringer Ingelheim and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and commercialization globally.
- AbbVie announced that it resolved all U.S. Humira (adalimumab) litigation with Alvotech. Under the terms of the resolution, AbbVie will grant Alvotech a non-exclusive license to its Humira-related patents in the U.S., which will begin on July 1, 2023 . AbbVie will make no payments of any form to Alvotech, and Alvotech will pay royalties to AbbVie for licensing its Humira patents and acknowledges the validity and enforceability of the licensed patents. The resolution included dismissal of the patent and trade secret litigation between AbbVie and Alvotech.
- At the Congress of European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO), AbbVie shared 26 abstracts, including 16 oral and digital oral presentations, that reinforced AbbVie's commitment to research that helps advance standards of care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Highlights included new post-hoc analyses from the pivotal Phase 3 Skyrizi program in CD as well as results from a post-hoc analysis of Phase 3 Rinvoq pivotal trials evaluating UC symptoms.
- At the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, AbbVie and Allergan Aesthetics presented new research that demonstrated their shared commitment to advancing science across a spectrum of dermatologic conditions and aesthetic indications. The research included new data on the efficacy, durability and safety of Rinvoq and Skyrizi as well as data from across the Allergan Aesthetics portfolio.
- AbbVie and Genmab announced topline results from the first cohort of the EPCORE NHL-1 phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating epcoritamab (DuoBody-CD3xCD20) in patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) who received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. Results from this cohort demonstrated a confirmed overall response rate (ORR) of 63.1 percent with a 12-month median duration of response. Based on the topline results, the companies will engage global regulatory authorities and data from the clinical trial will be presented at a future medical meeting. Epcoritamab is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.
- At the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting, AbbVie presented positive results from a Phase 2 trial evaluating navitoclax in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis that previously had a suboptimal response or disease progression with ruxolitinib monotherapy. The study evaluated 34 patients and median overall survival was not reached for patients who had a ≥ 1 grade improvement in bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) or ≥ 20% variant allele frequency (VAF) reduction. Additionally, at the time of analysis with > 2 year follow up, the survival estimate was 100% in patients who had improvements in BMF or VAF.
- AbbVie announced that it submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the FDA for Vraylar (cariprazine) for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). The submission is based on clinical trial results that showed clinically and statistically significant improvement in the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score in patients with MDD treated with Vraylar and an antidepressant. If approved, this milestone will be the fourth indication for Vraylar joining approvals for the treatment of adults with schizophrenia, the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder. Vraylar is being co-developed by AbbVie and Gedeon Richter Plc.
- AbbVie announced that the Phase 3 PROGRESS trial evaluating Qulipta (atogepant), an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist (gepant) for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine in adults, met its primary endpoint of statistically significant reduction from baseline in mean monthly migraine days compared to placebo, for both the 60 mg once daily (QD) and 30 mg twice daily (BID) doses, across the 12-week treatment period. The study also demonstrated statistically significant improvement in all secondary endpoints and the overall safety profile of Qulipta was consistent with safety findings observed in previous studies with an episodic migraine population. Data from this study will support a submission to expand the use of Qulipta to include preventive treatment of chronic migraine in the U.S. and additional submissions globally.
- At the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting, AbbVie shared 30 abstracts demonstrating the breadth of its neuroscience portfolio. The abstracts highlighted AbbVie's continued migraine treatment research across the spectrum of the disease, AbbVie's commitment to patients with advanced Parkinson's disease and new studies in spasticity and cervical dystonia.
- AbbVie and Gedeon Richter Plc. (Richter) announced a new co-development and license agreement to research, develop and commercialize novel dopamine receptor modulators for the potential treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases. The collaboration is based on the results of preclinical research carried out by Richter and includes several new chemical entities selected for development. AbbVie and Richter have collaborated for 15 years on Central Nervous System (CNS) projects, including globally launched products such as Vraylar.
- AbbVie announced the successful completion of its acquisition of Syndesi Therapeutics SA. The acquisition gives AbbVie access to Syndesi's portfolio of novel modulators of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A), including its lead molecule SDI-118, which is currently being evaluated for the potential treatment of cognitive impairment and other symptoms associated with a range of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and MDD.
- Allergan Aesthetics announced that the FDA approved Juvederm Volbella XC for improvement of infraorbital (undereye) hollows in adults over the age of 21.
