Recent Events
-- AbbVie and ImmunoGen announced a definitive agreement under which AbbVie will acquire ImmunoGen, and its flagship cancer therapy Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx), a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC). The acquisition accelerates AbbVie's entry into the solid tumor space and enhances AbbVie's oncology pipeline through the addition of multiple promising next-generation ADCs. The transaction values ImmunoGen at a total equity value of approximately $10.1 billion. Additional information on the transaction can be found at investors.abbvie.com. -- AbbVie and Cerevel Therapeutics announced a definitive agreement under which AbbVie will acquire Cerevel Therapeutics and its robust neuroscience pipeline of multiple clinical-stage and preclinical candidates with potential across several diseases including schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease (PD) and mood disorders. The acquisition complements AbbVie's neuroscience portfolio, adding a wide range of potentially best-in-class assets that may transform standards of care across psychiatric and neurological disorders. The transaction values Cerevel Therapeutics at a total equity value of approximately $8.7 billion. Additional information on the transaction can be found at investors.abbvie.com. -- AbbVie announced lutikizumab showed positive results in a Phase 2 trial in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) who had previously failed anti-TNF therapy. In the study, patients who received lutikizumab 300 mg weekly or 300 mg every other week showed higher response rates in the primary endpoint of achieving HS clinical response (HiSCR 50) and the secondary endpoint of skin pain (NRS30) at week 16, than those treated with placebo. Based on these data, AbbVie will advance its clinical program of lutikizumab in HS to Phase 3. -- AbbVie announced positive topline results from the Phase 2 LUMINOSITY trial evaluating telisotuzumab-vedotin (Teliso-V) in patients with c-Met protein overexpression, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, advanced/metastatic nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The results demonstrated a compelling overall response rate (ORR) per independent central review of 35 percent and 23 percent across c-Met High and c-Met Intermediate patients, respectively. Data from the study will be presented at a future medical meeting and AbbVie will discuss with global health authorities the potential to support an accelerated approval. -- AbbVie announced new data for Epkinly (epcoritamab) which showed strong, durable treatment response for patients with difficult-to-treat relapsed/refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL). Data from the Phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 study showed patients treated with Epkinly experienced 82% ORR including 63% complete response (CR) rate. Additionally, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to Epkinly and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) validated a Type II application for Tepkinly (epcoritamab) for the treatment of adult patients with r/r FL after two or more therapies. Epkinly/Tepkinly is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab. -- AbbVie and Umoja Biopharma, an early clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced two exclusive option and license agreements to develop multiple in-situ generated CAR-T cell therapy candidates in oncology using Umoja's proprietary VivoVec platform. The first agreement provides AbbVie an exclusive option to license Umoja's CD19 directed in-situ generated CAR-T cell therapy candidates including UB-VV111, Umoja's lead clinical program for hematologic malignancies. Under the terms of the second agreement, AbbVie and Umoja will develop up to four additional in-situ generated CAR-T cell therapy candidates for discovery targets selected by AbbVie. -- AbbVie announced the launch of Produodopa (foslevodopa/foscarbidopa) in the European Union (EU) for the treatment of advanced PD. Produodopa is the first-and-only subcutaneous 24-hour infusion of levodopa-based therapy for the treatment of severe motor fluctuations in people living with advanced PD whose symptoms are inadequately controlled by other therapies. In clinical trials, Produodopa demonstrated sustained improvements in "Off" time (when symptoms return between medication doses), "On" time (when symptoms are controlled) without dyskinesia (involuntary movement), and morning akinesia ("Off" time upon waking). -- AbbVie announced The Lancet published detailed clinical trial results evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Ubrelvy (ubrogepant) 100 mg for the acute treatment of migraine when administered during the prodrome (i.e., 1-6 hours before the predicted onset of headache pain) of a migraine attack. The Phase 3 study, PRODROME, showed that Ubrelvy given during the prodrome significantly reduced the likelihood of development of moderate or severe headache and reduced functional disability compared to placebo within 24 hours post-dose. Ubrelvy is the first and only acute treatment for migraine that has demonstrated data in the prodrome phase in a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. -- AbbVie and BigHat Biosciences announced a research collaboration to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to discover next-generation therapeutic antibodies. Working closely with AbbVie, BigHat will utilize its Milliner platform, a suite of machine learning technologies integrated with a high-speed wet lab, to guide the design and selection for high quality antibodies for multiple therapeutic targets.
Full-Year 2024 Outlook
AbbVie is issuing its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full-year 2024 of $11.05 to $11.25. This guidance includes a $0.32 per share dilutive impact related to the proposed ImmunoGen and Cerevel Therapeutics acquisitions, which are anticipated to close in the middle of 2024. The company's 2024 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred during 2024, as both cannot be reliably forecasted.
Long-Term Outlook
AbbVie is reaffirming its expectations for a high single-digit compound annual revenue growth rate through 2029. This guidance assumes 2024 as the base year in the compound annual growth rate calculation.
AbbVie is raising its long-term outlook for Skyrizi and Rinvoq revenues. The company now expects combined Skyrizi and Rinvoq 2027 revenues of more than $27 billion, an increase of approximately $6 billion compared to previous guidance for combined revenues of more than $21 billion in 2027.
AbbVie is also raising its long-term outlook for Ubrelvy and Qulipta revenues. The company now expects peak combined Ubrelvy and Qulipta revenues of more than $3 billion, an increase of approximately $1 billion compared to previous guidance for peak revenues of more than $1 billion for each asset.
