We look forward to seeing data from numerous additional pivotal studies in the second half.”

Key Events from the Second Quarter 

AbbVie announced positive top-line results from a Phase 3 clinical trial of upadacitinib (ABT-494), an investigational oral JAK1-selective inhibitor, in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Results from the SELECT-NEXT study, which evaluated upadacitinib in patients who did not adequately respond to treatment with conventional synthetic DMARDs, showed that after 12 weeks of treatment, both doses of upadacitinib (15 mg and 30 mg) met the study's primary endpoints of ACR20 and low disease activity. Key secondary endpoints were also achieved and included ACR50, ACR70 and clinical remission. The safety profile was consistent with that observed in the upadacitinib Phase 2 clinical trials, and no new safety signals were detected. Detailed study results will be presented at an upcoming medical conference.

AbbVie presented data on upadacitinib and risankizumab, an investigational IL-23 inhibitor being developed in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim, at the annual Digestive Disease Week (DDW) conference. These data included positive results from CELEST, a Phase 2 study evaluating upadacitinib in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, the majority of whom had previously failed two or more biologics. The CELEST study evaluated the safety and efficacy of multiple dosing regimens after 16 weeks of treatment, and demonstrated that significantly more patients achieved clinical remission and endoscopic remission after induction therapy with upadacitinib versus placebo. Additionally, AbbVie presented data from a Phase 2, open-label maintenance therapy study that demonstrated that after 52 weeks of treatment in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease, risankizumab was effective in maintaining clinical and endoscopic remission and response in patients who were in clinical remission at week 26. The positive results from both studies support advancement of the upadacitinib and risankizumab Crohn’s disease programs to Phase 3.

AbbVie announced that the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has granted a positive opinion recommending marketing authorization of MAVIRET (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir, or G/P), an investigational, pan-genotypic treatment for adults with chronic HCV infection. If approved, MAVIRET will be a once-daily, ribavirin-free, 8-week option for patients without cirrhosis and who are new to treatment across all genotypes (GT1-6). This group comprises the majority of people living with HCV. MAVIRET would also be an additional HCV treatment option for patients with specific treatment challenges, such as those with compensated cirrhosis, chronic kidney disease and genotype 3 chronic HCV infection. The European Commission will review the CHMP opinion and a final decision is expected in the third quarter of 2017. AbbVie's next-generation regimen is also under priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, and the company anticipates regulatory approvals in the third quarter of 2017.

Key Events from the Second Quarter (continued)

AbbVie presented data on IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in June. These data included long-term follow-up results from the pivotal Phase 3 RESONATE trial that showed a progression free survival rate of 59 percent in up to four years in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL) treated with ibrutinib, including those with high-risk disease. IMBRUVICA is jointly developed and commercialized with Janssen Biotech, Inc.

AbbVie announced results from an analysis of data pooled from three Phase 3 studies evaluating IMBRUVICA use in patients with high-risk CLL/SLL (RESONATE, RESONATE-2 and HELIOS), which were presented at the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia meeting. The results suggest that risk factors typically associated with poor clinical outcomes may be less important with ibrutinib treatment, and ibrutinib-treated patients with deletion 11q (a difficult-to-treat genomic abnormality) showed trends of longer progression free survival at 24 months and overall survival at 30 months.

The FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for VENCLEXTA (venetoclax) in combination with low-dose cytarabine for untreated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. This represents the second BTD for VENCLEXTA in AML, an aggressive blood cancer that, if left untreated, can progress quickly, and the fourth BTD overall for VENCLEXTA. VENCLEXTA is being developed by AbbVie and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.

AbbVie, in cooperation with Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., presented data at the World Congress on Endometriosis from two replicate Phase 3 studies, highlighting the efficacy and safety profile of elagolix, an investigational, orally administered gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, in premenopausal women with endometriosis. Regulatory submission for elagolix is expected in the third quarter.

Full-Year 2017 Outlook
 
AbbVie is confirming its GAAP diluted EPS guidance for the full-year 2017 of $4.55 to $4.65. AbbVie expects to deliver adjusted diluted EPS for the full-year 2017 of $5.44 to $5.54, representing growth of 13.9 percent at the mid-point. The company’s 2017 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes $0.89 per share of intangible asset amortization expense and other specified items.

Non-GAAP Financial Results
 
Financial results for 2017 and 2016 are presented on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Non-GAAP results adjust for certain non-cash items and for factors that are unusual or unpredictable, and exclude those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables later in this release. AbbVie’s management believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding AbbVie’s results of operations and assist management, analysts, and investors in evaluating the performance of the business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company’s 2017 financial guidance is also being provided on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis.
