The FDA last week approved...
...AbbVIe's Rinvoq, the company's
Humira successor that analysts are already speculating could reach blockbuster
status, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Rinvoq's list price is
$59,000. The Humira pen is still one of the most advantaged rheumatoid
arthritis therapies, holding preferred status in the pharmacy benefit for 10%
of covered lives, growing to 62% with step therapy and/or prior authorization,
but sales have dropped as the market has become more competitive.
