• A total of 29 abstracts, including three late-breaking presentations, demonstrate AbbVie and Allergan Aesthetics' shared commitment to advancing science across a spectrum of immune-mediated dermatologic conditions and aesthetic indications

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., March 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company, today announced they will present 29 abstracts, including three late-breaking presentations, during the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, March 8-12, in San Diego, California. The presented data across AbbVie and Allergan Aesthetics' extensive portfolios reinforce the companies' ongoing commitment to developing transformative medical dermatology and aesthetic treatments to advance and redefine the standard of care for patients.

The oral and poster presentations from AbbVie highlight efficacy, durability and safety data across the company's dermatology portfolio. Notable presentations include:

• Efficacy data of RINVOQ^® (upadacitinib) on nighttime itch and sleep disturbance, and minimal disease activity in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis
• Data evaluating the efficacy of SKYRIZI^® (risankizumab-rzaa) on difficult to treat areas including for the treatment of scalp and nail psoriasis compared to apremilast in adults with moderate psoriasis, and safety and efficacy of SKYRIZI^® (risankizumab-rzaa) in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis with palmoplantar (nonpustular) involvement
• Data evaluating changes in tissue-resident memory T cell (Trm) populations after high-induction dosing of SKYRIZI^® (risankizumab-rzaa) in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis

AbbVie is also presenting data across a number of underserved dermatologic diseases across new and existing molecules. Key research includes:

• Phase 2 efficacy and safety data for lutikizumab (ABT-981), which has a novel mechanism of action, in the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa being presented for the first time at a medical meeting
• Efficacy and safety results of a Phase 2, 52-week study for upadacitinib in the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo
• New data on disease and economic burden of alopecia areata in the United States

"AbbVie's commitment to advancing standards of care in dermatology is underscored by the breadth of new research presented at AAD this year," said Andrew Anisfeld, Ph.D., vice president, global medical affairs, Immunology, AbbVie. "We are dedicated to improving patient outcomes and helping to redefine treatment expectations so that all patients may feel free in their own skin."

With a growing pipeline of more than 60 programs in development, Allergan Aesthetics has one of the most robust portfolios for aesthetics innovation in the industry. At AAD the company will spotlight:

• Detailed results from two Phase 3 studies of onabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX^® Cosmetic) for the treatment of platysma prominence, an aesthetically unappealing disruption to the lines and contour of the lower face and neck that can occur as part of the natural aging process. Topline results shared in 2023 demonstrated all primary and secondary endpoints were met for both studies,¹ and if approved, onabotulinumtoxinA will be the first and only neurotoxin for this indication.
• Data on the safety and effectiveness of JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC for injection in the temple region to improve moderate to severe temple hollowing in adults over the age of 21.² JUVÉDERM^® VOLUMA^® XC is the first and only hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler to receive U.S. FDA approval for the improvement of moderate to severe temple hollowing with results lasting up to thirteen months with optimal treatment.²
• Data on a novel cosmetic regimen for mild to moderate facial acne.

"Allergan Aesthetics is focused on creating evidence-based products and technologies that advance aesthetics medicine and address the evolving needs of patients and providers globally," said John Maltman, Ph.D., vice president, global aesthetics medical affairs, Allergan Aesthetics. "With patient safety and optimal outcomes as our main priorities, we are proud to share our learnings and engage with the larger medical community at AAD."

About RINVOQ^® (upadacitinib)

Discovered and developed by AbbVie scientists, RINVOQ is a JAK inhibitor that is being studied in several immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Based on enzymatic and cellular assays, RINVOQ demonstrated greater inhibitory potency for JAK-1 vs JAK-2, JAK-3, and TYK-2.³ The relevance of inhibition of specific JAK enzymes to therapeutic effectiveness and safety is not currently known.

Phase 3 trials of RINVOQ alopecia areata, ankylosing spondylitis, atopic dermatitis, axial spondyloarthritis, Crohn's disease, giant cell arteritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Takayasu arteritis, ulcerative colitis and vitiligo are ongoing.^4-17

Use of upadacitinib in vitiligo is not approved and its safety and efficacy have not been evaluated by regulatory authorities.

What is the most important information I should know about RINVOQ?

RINVOQ may cause serious side effects, including:

• Serious infections. RINVOQ can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious infections have happened while taking RINVOQ, including tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Your healthcare provider (HCP) should test you for TB before starting RINVOQ and check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with RINVOQ. You should not start taking RINVOQ if you have any kind of infection unless your HCP tells you it is okay. If you get a serious infection, your HCP may stop your treatment until your infection is controlled. You may be at higher risk of developing shingles (herpes zoster).
• Increased risk of death in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (cardiovascular) risk factor.
• Cancer and immune system problems. RINVOQ may increase your risk of certain cancers. Lymphoma and other cancers, including skin cancers, can happen. Current or past smokers are at higher risk of certain cancers, including lymphoma and lung cancer. Follow your HCP's advice about having your skin checked for skin cancer during treatment with RINVOQ. Limit the amount of time you spend in sunlight. Wear protective clothing when you are in the sun and use sunscreen.
• Increased risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events, such as heart attack, stroke, or death, in people 50 years and older who have at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor, especially if you are a current or past smoker.
• Blood clots: Blood clots in the veins of the legs or lungs and arteries can happen with RINVOQ. This may be life-threatening and cause death. Blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs have happened more often in people who are 50 years and older and with at least 1 heart disease (CV) risk factor.
• Allergic reactions. Symptoms such as rash (hives), trouble breathing, feeling faint or dizzy, or swelling of your lips, tongue, or throat, that may mean you are having an allergic reaction have been seen in people taking RINVOQ. Some of these reactions were serious. If any of these symptoms occur during treatment with RINVOQ, stop taking RINVOQ and get emergency medical help right away.
• Tears in the stomach or intestines. This happens most often in people who take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroids. Get medical help right away if you get stomach-area pain, fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting.
• Changes in certain laboratory tests. Your HCP should do blood tests before you start taking RINVOQ and while you take it. Your HCP may stop your RINVOQ treatment for a period of time if needed because of changes in these blood test results.

Do not take RINVOQ if you are allergic to upadacitinib or any of the ingredients in RINVOQ. See the Medication Guide or Consumer Brief Summary for a complete list of ingredients.

What should I tell my HCP BEFORE starting RINVOQ?

• Have recently received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine. People who take RINVOQ should not receive live vaccines.
• Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Based on findings in animal studies, RINVOQ may harm your unborn baby. Your HCP will check whether or not you are pregnant before you start RINVOQ. You should use effective birth control (contraception) to avoid becoming pregnant during treatment with RINVOQ and for 4 weeks after your last dose.
• There is a pregnancy surveillance program for RINVOQ. The purpose of the program is to collect information about the health of you and your baby. If you become pregnant while taking RINVOQ, you are encouraged to report the pregnancy by calling 1-800-633-9110.
