Recent Events AbbVie announced that its board of directors unanimously elected chief executive officer (CEO) Robert A. Michael to assume the additional position of chairman of the board of directors, effective July 1, 2025. He will succeed Richard A. Gonzalez, who formerly served as AbbVie's CEO and has been chairman since the Company's formation in 2013. AbbVie announced that the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization to Rinvoq (upadacitinib) for the treatment of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in adult patients. The approval was supported by data from the pivotal Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial which demonstrated that Rinvoq achieved the primary endpoint of sustained remission and key secondary endpoints, including reduction in disease flares, lower cumulative steroid exposure and complete remission. This authorization marks the eighth approved indication for Rinvoq in the European Union (EU). At the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting, AbbVie announced final data analysis from the Phase 3 MIRASOL trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) in women with folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) compared to chemotherapy. At 30.5 months median follow-up, treatment with Elahere continued to show significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy. AbbVie and Xilio Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced a collaboration and option-to-license agreement that will combine AbbVie's oncology expertise with Xilio's proprietary tumor-activation technology to develop novel immunotherapies, including masked T-cell engagers, for people living with cancer. AbbVie announced that it submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of trenibotulinumtoxinE (BoNT/E) for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines. TrenibotulinumtoxinE is a first-in-class botulinum neurotoxin serotype E characterized by a rapid onset of action as early as 8 hours after administration and short duration of effect of 2-3 weeks. If approved, trenibotulinumtoxinE will be the first neurotoxin of its kind available to patients. Allergan Aesthetics announced that the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) will open three new state-of-the-art training centers in the U.S., expanding access to high-quality, tailored training for licensed aesthetics providers. The first training center is scheduled to open in Irvine, CA, with additional locations to follow in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX. AbbVie and Gubra announced a license agreement to develop GUB014295 (ABBV-295), a potential best-in-class, long-acting amylin analog for the treatment of obesity. This partnership marks AbbVie's entrance into the obesity field and under the terms of the agreement, AbbVie will lead development and commercialization of GUB014295 globally. Prior to the close of the agreement, Gubra announced positive interim results from Part A of a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (MAD) study, which showed that GUB014295 was well tolerated with body weight loss that was sustained in a manner consistent with data from a previously announced single ascending dose (SAD) study. AbbVie announced that the FDA approved Emblaveo (aztreonam and avibactam), as the first monobactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination antibiotic therapy to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections, including those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. The approval of Emblaveo was supported by prior findings regarding the efficacy and safety of aztreonam for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections as well as clinical trial results from the Phase 3 REVISIT study, which evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Emblaveo for the treatment of serious infections due to Gram-negative bacteria. Full-Year 2025 Outlook AbbVie is raising its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full year 2025 from $11.99 - $12.19 to $12.09 - $12.29, which includes an unfavorable impact of $0.13 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the first quarter 2025. The company's 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the first quarter of 2025, as both cannot be reliably forecasted. This guidance does not reflect the acquired IPR&D and milestones impact related to AbbVie and Gubra's licensing agreement to develop GUB014295, as that transaction closed after the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, this guidance is based on the existing trade environment and does not reflect any trade policy shifts, including pharmaceutical sector tariffs, that could impact AbbVie's business. About AbbVie AbbVie's mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines that solve serious health issues today and address the medical challenges of tomorrow. We strive to have a remarkable impact on people's lives across several key therapeutic areas: immunology, neuroscience, oncology, and eye care - and products and services across our Allergan Aesthetics portfolio.
