AbbVie's RINVOQ (upadacitinib) has received FDA approval as the first oral JAK inhibitor for treating giant cell arteritis (GCA) in adults. This marks RINVOQ's ninth approved indication in the U.S., following recent European Commission authorization.
The approval is based on the Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial results, where 46.4% of patients using RINVOQ 15mg with a 26-week steroid taper achieved sustained remission, compared to 29% in the placebo group. The drug's safety profile remained consistent with previous indications.
GCA is an autoimmune disease affecting cranial arteries, primarily impacting Caucasian women over 50. If untreated, it can lead to severe outcomes including blindness and stroke. RINVOQ offers an alternative to traditional steroid treatment, though it may cause serious side effects including infections, blood clots, and increased risk of major cardiovascular events in certain patients.

Neuroscience portfolio revenues increased 16.1% to $2.282 billion.

AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) has submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for TrenibotulinumtoxinE (TrenibotE), a first-in-class botulinum neurotoxin for treating moderate to severe glabellar lines. The key differentiator of TrenibotE is its rapid onset of action within 8 hours and shorter duration of 2-3 weeks.
The submission is backed by clinical data from over 2,100 patients across multiple Phase 3 studies. All primary and secondary endpoints were met, with treatment-emergent adverse events similar to placebo. If approved, TrenibotE will be the first serotype E neurotoxin available, offering patients a shorter-duration alternative to traditional treatments.
The product aims to address patient concerns about 'fear of looking unnatural' by providing a shorter-term trial option before committing to longer-lasting treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic.

- 46.4% of patients using RINVOQ 15mg achieved sustained remission at week 52, compared to 29.0% in the placebo group
- Disease flares were reduced to 34.3% in the RINVOQ group versus 55.6% in placebo
- Lower cumulative steroid exposure was achieved (1615mg vs 2882mg median)
- 37.1% of RINVOQ patients achieved sustained complete remission versus 16.1% in placebo
