AbbVie's Latest FDA Approval Is Its Most Important Immunology Win Since Humira
You might not have noticed it, but AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) is on a roll -- at least when it comes to winning drug approvals. Since the beginning of 2019, the big biotech has racked up U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals for a combination of Imbruvica and Gazyva in treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), a combination of Venclexta and Gazyva as a first-line treatment for CLL/SLL, and Skyrizi in treating plaque psoriasis.
On Friday, AbbVie added another key FDA approval with a positive decision for Rinvoq (upadacitinib) in treating rheumatoid arthritis. This latest FDA approval is AbbVie's biggest regulatory victory so far this year. And it just might be the most important immunology win for the company since Humira.
