AbbVie files for new indication from FDA and EMA for Rinvoq
US pharma major AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) on Friday revealed it has submitted applications for a new indication to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Rinvoq (upadacitinib) 15mg, once daily for the treatment of adult patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA).
GCA is an autoimmune disease of medium and large arteries and can cause headache, jaw pain, and changes in vision, including sudden and permanent loss of vision.
The Chicago-based company in February said it now expects combined Skyrizi (risankizumab) and Rinvoq revenue to top $27 billion in 2027, up from prior guidance of $21 billion.
