AbbVie Inc. said Rinvoq, or upadacitinib, monotherapy met
primary and secondary endpoints in the second Phase 3 study in
moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
The co-primary endpoints were at least a 75% improvement in the
Eczema Area Severity Index from baseline and a validated
Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis score of
0/1--clear or almost clear--at week 16.
The Measure Up 2 study evaluates 15 mg and 30 mg doses of
upadacitinib monotherapy versus placebo in adolescents and adults
with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.
Significantly more patients receiving either dose of
upadacitinib monotherapy showed improvement in skin clearance and
reduction in itch compared to placebo at week 16, the company
said.
Shares were up 0.4% to $99.90 premarket.
