In January 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted breakthrough therapy designation for upadacitinib, an investigational oral JAK1-selective inhibitor, in adult patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis who are candidates for systemic therapy.
|
•
|
In April 2018, AbbVie announced that top-line results from the Phase 3 SELECT-COMPARE clinical trial evaluating upadacitinib met all primary and ranked secondary endpoints in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are on a stable background of methotrexate and who have an inadequate response. The safety profile of upadacitinib was consistent with previously reported clinical trials and no new safety signals were detected.
|
•
|
In January 2018, AbbVie initiated two Phase 3 clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab, an investigational interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor, versus placebo during induction therapy in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease.
|
•
|
In February 2018, AbbVie announced that top-line results from two Phase 3 clinical trials evaluating risankizumab with 12-week dosing compared to ustekinumab met ranked additional secondary endpoints for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. The initial results from these clinical trials were previously announced in October 2017. The safety profile was consistent with all previously reported studies, and there were no new safety signals detected across the two studies.
|
•
|
In April 2018, AbbVie submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA and a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for risankizumab for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults.
|
•
|
In April 2018, AbbVie submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the FDA for IMBRUVICA in combination with Rituxan (rituximab) in patients with Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia.
|
•
|
In January 2018, AbbVie submitted an sNDA to the FDA for VENCLEXTA monotherapy in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who are refractory to or have relapsed B-cell receptor pathway inhibitors.
|

|
In January 2018, AbbVie submitted a Type II variation to the EMA to extend the current approved indication based on the results of the Phase 3 MURANO study. The new additional proposed indication is venetoclax tablets in combination with Rituxan for treatment of adult patients with CLL who have received at least one prior therapy. This submission followed the December 2017 sNDA submission to the FDA for VENCLEXTA in combination with Rituxan in patients with relapsed or refractory CLL.
|
•
|
In March 2018, AbbVie announced top-line results from the Phase 2 TRINITY study evaluating rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T) for third-line relapsed/refractory (R/R) small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Although Rova-T demonstrated single agent responses in advanced SCLC patients, after consulting with the FDA, based on the magnitude of effect across multiple parameters in this single-arm study, the company will not seek accelerated approval for Rova-T in third-line R/R SCLC. Ongoing Phase 3 studies will continue to investigate Rova-T in first- and second-line SCLC.
|
•
|
In March 2018, Biogen and AbbVie announced the voluntary worldwide withdrawal of marketing authorizations for ZINBRYTA, a prescription medicine used to treat adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
|
•
|
In February 2018, AbbVie announced that top-line results from the Phase 3 ELARIS UF-I study evaluating elagolix, an investigational, orally administered gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, being investigated in combination with low-dose hormone (add-back) therapy for uterine fibroids met its primary efficacy endpoint and all ranked secondary endpoints.
|
•
|
In March 2018, AbbVie announced that top-line results from the Phase 3 ELARIS UF-II study evaluating elagolix in combination with low-dose hormone (add-back) therapy for uterine fibroids met its primary efficacy endpoint and all ranked secondary endpoints.
|
•
|
In April 2018, AbbVie announced notification by the FDA that extended time is required to review additional information regarding the results of liver function tests provided by AbbVie in connection with its New Drug Application (NDA) for elagolix in endometriosis-associated pain. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date has been extended three months to the third quarter of 2018.

Pursuant to applicable personal data protection laws, the collection, processing and transfer of the Director’s personal Data is necessary for the Company’s administration of the Program and the Director’s participation in the Program. The Director’s denial and/or objection to the collection, processing and transfer of personal Data may affect his or her ability to participate in the Program. As such (where required under applicable law), the Director:
|
(i)
|
voluntarily acknowledges, consents and agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer of personal Data as described herein; and
|
(ii)
|
authorizes Data recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Director’s participation in the Program, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required for the administration of the Program and/or the subsequent holding of Shares on the Director’s behalf to a broker or other third party with whom the Director may elect to deposit any Shares acquired pursuant to the Program.
|
(b)
|
Data may be provided by the Director or collected, where lawful, from third parties, and the Company will process the Data for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Director’s participation in the Program. Data processing will take place through electronic and non-electronic means according to logics and procedures strictly correlated to the purposes for which the Data is collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations in the Director’s country of residence. Data processing operations will be performed minimizing the use of personal and identification data when such operations are unnecessary for the processing purposes sought. The Data will be accessible within the Company’s organization only by those persons requiring access for purposes of the implementation, administration and operation of the Program and for the Director’s participation in the Program.
|
(c)
|
The Company will transfer Data as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of the Director’s participation in the Program, and the Company and the Subsidiary that served by the Director (if applicable) may further transfer Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, administration and management of the Program. These recipients may be located throughout the world.
|
(d)
|
The Director may, at any time, exercise his or her rights provided under applicable personal data protection laws, which may include the right to:
|
(i)
|
obtain confirmation as to the existence of the Data;
|
(ii)
|
verify the content, origin and accuracy of the Data;
|
(iii)
|
request the integration, update, amendment, deletion or blockage (for breach of applicable laws) of the Data; and
|
(iv)
|
oppose, for legal reasons, the collection, processing or transfer of the Data which is not necessary or required for the implementation, administration and/or operation of the Program and the Director’s participation in the Program.
|
(e)
|
Upon request of the Company, the Director agrees to provide an executed data privacy consent form (or any other agreement or consent that may be required by the Company) to the Company that the Company may deem necessary to obtain from the Director for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Program in compliance with the data privacy laws in the Director’s country, either now or in the future. The Director understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Program if the Director fails to provide any such requested consent or agreement.
