AbbVie received a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency for upadacitinib (RINVOQ) to treat giant cell arteritis (GCA). If approved by the European Commission in 2025, it would be the first oral advanced therapy for GCA. This follows promising results from AbbVie's Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial. The approval could significantly enhance AbbVie's immunology portfolio and revenue, especially as it faces competition from biosimilars to Humira. Investors are closely monitoring this development as it could be pivotal for AbbVie's growth in the biopharma sector.
