Recent Events

AbbVie announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Skyrizi (risankizumab) as the first and only specific interleukin-23 inhibitor for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The approval is supported by three pivotal Phase 3 studies in which Skyrizi demonstrated significant improvements in clinical remission and endoscopic response, compared to placebo, as both induction and maintenance therapy. This marks Skyrizi's third FDA approved indication. Skyrizi is a collaboration between Boehringer Ingelheim and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and commercialization globally.
AbbVie announced that the FDA approved Rinvoq (upadacitinib, 15 mg, once daily) for the treatment of adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) 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 pivotal clinical trials in which Rinvoq delivered rapid and meaningful disease control. This approval marks the fifth FDA approved indication for Rinvoq in chronic immune-mediated diseases.
AbbVie announced the European Commission (EC) approved Rinvoq (45 mg (induction dose) and 15 mg and 30 mg (maintenance doses)) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The approval is based on results from two Phase 3 induction studies and one maintenance study in which significantly more patients treated with Rinvoq achieved the primary and all secondary endpoints compared to placebo.
AbbVie announced the EC approved Rinvoq (15 mg, once daily) for the treatment of adult patients with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-Axial SpA). The approval is based on results from the Phase 3 SELECT-AXIS 2 study in which Rinvoq met the primary endpoint and 12 of 14 ranked secondary endpoints.
AbbVie announced that it submitted applications for a new indication to the FDA and European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Rinvoq (45 mg (induction dose) and 15 mg and 30 mg (maintenance doses)) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active CD. The submissions are supported by three Phase 3 clinical trials demonstrating Rinvoq achieved the co-primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response as induction and maintenance treatment.
AbbVie announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 maintenance study, U-ENDURE, evaluating Rinvoq in adult patients with moderate to severe CD. The results showed Rinvoq (15 mg or 30 mg, once daily) achieved the co-primary endpoints of endoscopic response and clinical remission, as well as the secondary endpoint of endoscopic remission, at one year (week 52) compared to placebo. The safety results in this study were generally consistent with the known profile of Rinvoq, with no new safety risks observed. Full results from the study will be presented at upcoming medical conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal.
At the Digestive Disease Week (DDW) Annual Meeting, AbbVie presented 27 abstracts that reinforced its leadership in advancing research and the standards of care across multiple gastroenterological conditions. Presentations included further analyses of Phase 3 clinical study programs for Rinvoq in moderately to severely active UC and investigational use of Skyrizi in moderately to severely active CD.
At the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2022 Congress, AbbVie showcased its leadership in rheumatology research with new data across multiple inflammatory joint diseases. Key data presented included SELECT-AXIS 2 trial results evaluating the efficacy and safety of Rinvoq in patients with nr-Axial SpA, and in patients with AS; two-year data from the SELECT-PsA 1 and SELECT-PsA 2 studies of Rinvoq in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA); and results of the one-year data evaluating the efficacy and safety of Skyrizi in patients with active PsA in the KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 clinical trials.
At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress, AbbVie presented 46 abstracts for six investigational and approved medicines across eight cancer types. Highlights included new data that showed Venclexta (venetoclax) plus obinutuzumab demonstrated sustained progression-free survival (PFS) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients after four years off treatment; results from a Phase 2 trial of epcoritamab which showed clinically meaningful efficacy in challenging-to-treat, highly refractory, large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients; and new data from the Phase 2 REFINE study of investigational navitoclax in combination with ruxolitinib that is supportive of early intervention in myelofibrosis (MF) to achieve improved clinical outcomes in spleen volume reduction (SVR), symptom score and bone marrow fibrosis (BMF). Venetoclax is being developed by AbbVie and Roche and is jointly commercialized by AbbVie and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, in the U.S. and by AbbVie outside of the U.S. Epcoritamab is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.
AbbVie announced that it submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for ABBV-951 (foscarbidopa/foslevodopa) for the treatment of motor fluctuations in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). The submission is based on results from a Phase 3, head-to-head, randomized and controlled clinical trial demonstrating statistically significant improvement in "On" time without troublesome dyskinesia compared to oral immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD). If approved, ABBV-951 will offer patients the first continuous subcutaneous delivery of CD/LD prodrugs.
AbbVie announced that it submitted a supplemental NDA to the FDA for Qulipta (atogepant) to support label expansion for the preventive treatment of migraine in adult patients with chronic migraine. AbbVie also submitted a marketing authorization application for Qulipta with the EMA for the preventive treatment of migraine in adult patients who have at least four migraine days per month.
At the American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Scientific Meeting, AbbVie presented 29 abstracts that covered a wide range of studies across AbbVie's migraine portfolio. Presentations highlighted positive results from the Phase 3 PROGRESS trial investigating Qulipta for the preventive treatment of migraine in patients with chronic migraine, clinical trial results evaluating Ubrelvy (ubrogepant) for acute treatment of migraine and data evaluating Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) for the preventive treatment of migraine in patient with chronic migraine.
At the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Annual Meeting, AbbVie presented positive data from a Phase 3 trial of Vraylar (cariprazine, 1.5 mg/day) for the adjunctive treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in patients with an inadequate response to ongoing antidepressant therapy. The study met its primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score in patients compared with placebo. Vraylar's safety profile was consistent with that of previous studies across indications in the treatment of adults with depressive episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, the acute treatment of manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia. Vraylar is being co-developed by AbbVie and Gedeon Richter Plc.

Milestone payments incurred prior to regulatory approval, which were previously included in research and development expense, are now presented as acquired IPR&D and milestones expense. The reclassification decreased research and development expense and increased acquired IPR&D and milestones expense by $35 million for the three months and $150 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The company believes this presentation assists users of the financial statements to better understand the total upfront and subsequent development milestone payments incurred to acquire in-process research and development projects. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on total operating costs and expenses, operating earnings, net earnings, net earnings attributable to AbbVie, Inc., earnings per share, or total equity.
