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.
AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) has received European Commission approval for RINVOQ® (upadacitinib) to treat adult patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). This marks RINVOQ's eighth approved indication in the EU.
Key highlights from the Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial:
- 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
The safety profile remained consistent with previously approved indications, with comparable rates of serious adverse events between RINVOQ and placebo groups. RINVOQ is the first and only oral JAK inhibitor approved in the EU for GCA treatment.

2. ABBV-514: A novel CCR8-targeting antibody in Phase 1 trials for non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, and other solid tumors. Preclinical data shows strong monotherapy activity, including in anti-PD-1 resistant models.
Additional presentations will focus on real-world-data analyses regarding treatment resistance and biomarker identification, including studies on folate receptor alpha expression in ovarian cancers and immunotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer.

- Median progression-free survival of 5.59 months vs 3.98 months for chemotherapy
- 41.9% objective response rate vs 15.9% for chemotherapy
- Median overall survival of 16.85 months vs 13.34 months for chemotherapy

AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Gubra A/S have announced a license agreement to develop GUB014295, a potential best-in-class, long-acting amylin analog for obesity treatment. This partnership marks AbbVie's strategic entry into the obesity market.
The agreement includes a $350 million upfront payment to Gubra, with potential additional payments of up to $1.875 billion in development, commercial, and sales milestones, plus tiered royalties on global net sales. AbbVie will lead global development and commercialization activities.
GUB014295, currently in Phase 1 clinical trials, is an agonist that activates amylin and calcitonin receptors. The compound works by triggering appetite suppression signals to the brain, reducing food intake, and delaying gastric emptying. This development addresses a significant global health concern, with approximately 900 million adults affected by obesity.
AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) received a positive CHMP opinion recommending approval of upadacitinib (RINVOQ®) for treating adult patients with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). The recommendation is based on the Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial results, which demonstrated efficacy in achieving sustained remission and other key endpoints.
If approved by the European Commission in the first half of 2025, RINVOQ would become the first and only oral advanced therapy for adults with GCA. The trial evaluated upadacitinib (15 mg, once daily) in adults aged 50 and older, comparing 7.5 mg or 15 mg doses combined with a 26-week corticosteroid taper regimen against placebo with a 52-week taper.
The safety profile during the 52-week, placebo-controlled period aligned with observations from other approved indications. RINVOQ is currently approved in the EU for multiple conditions including radiographic axial spondylarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease, though not yet for GCA.
