ABBVie Inc. (ABBV) Securities Fraud Class Action:

The lawsuit focuses on AbbVie's statements about the safety profile of Rinvoq, a drug intended to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases by inhibiting Janus kinase ("JAK") enzymes, and its assurances that Rinvoq was far safer than Pfizer's competing drug (Xeljanz) which also used the JAK mechanism.

The complaint alleges that Defendants downplayed the likelihood that the FDA would take regulatory action against Rinvoq as a result of Xeljanz's problematic safety profile and misrepresented or failed to disclose that (1) safety concerns about Xeljanz extended to Rinvoq and other JAK inhibitors, and (2) as a result, it was likely that the FDA would require additional safety warnings for Rinvoq and would delay additional treatment indications for it.

But, on June 25, 2021, AbbVie revealed the FDA was delaying its review of expanded treatment applications for Rinvoq due to safety concerns associated with Xeljanz.

Then, on Sept. 1, 2021, the FDA announced that it would require new and updated warnings for both Xeljanz and Rinvoq because Rinvoq "share[s] similar mechanisms of action with Xeljanz" and "may have similar risks as seen in the Xeljanz safety trial" and it would further limit approved indications for Rinvoq as a result of the safety concerns.

These events drove the price of AbbVie shares sharply lower.

"We're focused on investors' losses and proving AbbVie intentionally misrepresented Rinvoq's safety profile," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
