- Long-term data from the Phase 3 SELECT-COMPARE trial show that continuous treatment with RINVOQ (upadacitinib, 15 mg, once-daily) plus MTX maintained rates of clinical remission and low disease activity through three years in adults with rheumatoid arthritis[1]

- In a separate integrated safety analysis of RINVOQ, no new significant safety findings were observed up to 4.5 years in patients with rheumatoid arthritis[2]

- Results from both presentations will be shared at the EULAR 2021 Virtual Congress

- RINVOQ is the first oral, once-daily, selective and reversible JAK inhibitor approved for three adult rheumatic indications in the European Union: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis[3]

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., June 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) today announced new analyses to be presented at the EULAR 2021 Virtual Congress showing patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis on background methotrexate (MTX) treated with RINVOQ® (upadacitinib, 15 mg, once daily) maintained higher rates of clinical remission and low disease activity through three years compared to those patients treated with HUMIRA® (adalimumab).1 Additionally, a separate integrated safety analysis found the safety profile of RINVOQ was consistent over 4.5 years, with no new safety risks observed.2

"We are dedicated to helping more people living with rheumatoid arthritis reach their treatment goals aimed at remission or low disease activity," said Mudra Kapoor, M.D., rheumatology head, global medical affairs, AbbVie. "These data reinforce the long-term efficacy and safety profile of RINVOQ in rheumatoid arthritis. We continue to advance research to provide valuable insights into the role that RINVOQ has in helping patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis."
