North Chicago, IL · ABBV · Public
AbbVie is pursuing a ~$11B acquisition of Apogee Therapeutics to expand its inflammatory disease portfolio, particularly in atopic dermatitis, while maintaining strong momentum in immunology with Skyrizi and Rinvoq offsetting Humira declines. The company continues delivering FDA approvals and positive trial results, positioning it as a growth-driven dividend payer.

AbbVie Inc. is a global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development, manufacturing, and commercialization of advanced medicines. Its extensive therapeutic portfolio encompasses several key areas: Immunology and Inflammation: Leading products include HUMIRA, an injectable therapy for autoimmune and intestinal Behçet's diseases; SKYRIZI, which addresses moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults; and RINVOQ, a JAK inhibitor for moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients. Oncology and Hematology: For blood cancers, AbbVie provides IMBRUVICA and VENCLEXTA (a BCL-2 inhibitor), both indicated for adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Virology: MAVYRET offers a treatment option for individuals with chronic HCV genotype 1-6 infection. Gastroenterology and Endocrinology: The company supplies CREON, an enzyme replacement therapy for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and Synthroid, used to manage hypothyroidism. Linzess/Constella helps treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation. Women's Health and Urology: Lupron serves as a palliative treatment for conditions like advanced prostate cancer, endometriosis, central precocious puberty, and anemia caused by uterine fibroids. ORILISSA, a nonpeptide small molecule GnRH antagonist, is designed for women experiencing moderate to severe endometriosis pain. Neurology: AbbVie offers Duopa and Duodopa, a levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel for Parkinson's disease, and Ubrelvy to treat migraines (with or without aura) in adults. The therapeutic formulation of Botox is also part of its offerings. Ophthalmology: Its eye care segment features Lumigan/Ganfort (a bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) and Alphagan/Combigan (an alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist), both aimed at reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension. Restasis, a calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressant, is provided to enhance tear production, alongside other specialized eye care products. AbbVie Inc. also engages in research collaborations, including a partnership with Dragonfly Therapeutics, Inc. The company was founded in 2012 and operates from its headquarters in North Chicago, Illinois.
