AbbVie Presents New Phase 3 AFFIRM Data Showing Clinical and Endoscopic Outcomes With Subcutaneous SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) in Patients With Moderately to Severely Active Crohn's Disease

· Issued by AbbVie Inc. via PR Newswire
  • Higher rates of endoscopic remission and ulcer-free endoscopy were observed following subcutaneous SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa)treatment versus placeboi
  • Results build on previously reported week 12 findings in which SKYRIZI achieved superiority in the co-primary endpoints of clinical remission and endoscopic response versus placebo
  • These data support the application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking approval of a subcutaneous induction dosing regimen for SKYRIZI for patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease

NORTH CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AbbVie today announced new findings from the Phase 3 AFFIRM study evaluating a new option for induction treatment with SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) in adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). Presented at the American College of Gastroenterology 2026 Annual Scientific Meeting, the findings build on the previously reported efficacy results of subcutaneous (SC) SKYRIZI® treatment, showing new endoscopic remissionii and ulcer-free endoscopyiii outcomes for patients receiving SKYRIZI subcutaneously.i 

After treatment with SKYRIZI, 35.8% of patients achieved endoscopic remission, or the healing of the intestinal lining with little to no visible inflammation.i Across subgroups, 36.6% of patients who had ulcers at the start of the study achieved the complete absence of ulcers, known as ulcer-free endoscopy, after induction and maintenance treatment.i Among advanced therapy-naïve patients, rates were higher, with 45.1% achieving endoscopic remission and 49.0% achieving ulcer-free endoscopy, representing the highest rates observed across the evaluated subgroups.i

Evaluating subcutaneous SKYRIZI against stringent endoscopic outcomes demonstrates its potential to help CD patients achieve deeper control of underlying inflammation with a fully patient-administered regimen. Subcutaneous induction with SKYRIZI for adults with moderately to severely active CD is currently under regulatory review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency.

"Controlling underlying inflammation can limit the amount of time people living with Crohn's disease spend experiencing debilitating flares," said Kori Wallace, M.D., Ph.D., vice president, global head of immunology clinical development, AbbVie. "The findings reported in AFFIRM are important because not only were the endoscopic outcomes higher with SKYRIZI, but they were achieved after induction, demonstrating the potential of subcutaneous SKYRIZI for helping patients achieve disease control early in their treatment journey."

AFFIRM included patients with longstanding, difficult-to-treat CD; 65% had previously experienced an inadequate response to advanced therapies. Patients had lived with the disease for an average of more than seven years and had substantial intestinal inflammation at study entry.i

"In clinical practice, we're making treatment decisions for patients at very different points in their disease, from those starting their first advanced therapy to those who have already cycled through several," said Millie D. Long, M.D., MPH, chief, division of gastroenterology and hepatology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and lead investigator of AFFIRM. "Seeing the endoscopic improvements in both advanced therapy-naïve and treatment-experienced patients observed in AFFIRM gives clinicians meaningful evidence to inform decisions across the treatment journey."

Safety findings through week 24 were consistent with the known safety profile of risankizumab, with lower rates of treatment-emergent adverse events observed in the risankizumab treatment groups versus placebo during both induction and maintenance.i Rates of adverse events of special interest remained low, and no new safety signals were identified.i

About Crohn's Disease 
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic disease that manifests as inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the area between the small intestine (ileum) and the colon, causing persistent diarrhea and abdominal pain.v,vi It is a progressive disease, meaning it gets worse over time and may lead to life-threatening complications or surgery.vii,viii Because the signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease are unpredictable, it causes a significant burden on people living with the disease—not only physically but also emotionally and economically.ix

About the AFFIRM Studyi
AFFIRM is a global, Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab subcutaneous (SC) as an induction treatment in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease. Co-primary endpoints were percentage of participants with CDAI Clinical Remission (CDAI < 150) and percentage of participants with endoscopic response at week 12. A total of 289 patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to risankizumab SC or placebo. Key demographics and baseline characteristics were generally balanced between the risankizumab SC and placebo groups; 65% had failed advanced therapies for the treatment of CD before. The study consists of three treatment periods: a placebo-controlled Period A (baseline to week 12) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of risankizumab SC induction treatment, an extended Period B (week 12 to 24) where patients receive blinded or open-label treatments based on their clinical response at week 12, and a 52-week open-label extension Period C where all patients receive the approved risankizumab maintenance treatment.i More information on this trial can be found at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06063967).x

About SKYRIZI® (risankizumab)
SKYRIZI is an interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor that blocks IL-23 by selectively binding to its p19 subunit. IL-23, a cytokine involved in inflammatory processes, is thought to be linked to a number of chronic immune-mediated diseases.xi SKYRIZI is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis, plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Crohn's disease.xi,xii

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS

SKYRIZI is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to risankizumab-rzaa or any of the excipients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions

Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with use of SKYRIZI. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue SKYRIZI and initiate appropriate therapy immediately [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

5.2 Infections

SKYRIZI may increase the risk of infections [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].

Treatment with SKYRIZI should not be initiated in patients with any clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated.

In patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection, consider the risks and benefits prior to prescribing SKYRIZI. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important infection occur. If a patient develops such an infection or is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely and do not administer SKYRIZI until the infection resolves.

5.3 Tuberculosis

Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with SKYRIZI. Across the Phase 3 psoriasis clinical studies, of the 72 subjects with latent TB who were concurrently treated with SKYRIZI and appropriate TB prophylaxis during the studies, none developed active TB during the mean follow-up of 61 weeks on SKYRIZI. Two subjects taking isoniazid for treatment of latent TB discontinued treatment due to liver injury. Of the 31 subjects from the PsO-3 study with latent TB who did not receive prophylaxis during the study, none developed active TB during the mean follow-up of 55 weeks on SKYRIZI. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiating SKYRIZI in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after SKYRIZI treatment. Do not administer SKYRIZI to patients with active TB.

Page 10

5.4 Hepatotoxicity

A serious adverse reaction of drug-induced liver injury in conjunction with a rash that required hospitalization was reported in a patient with Crohn’s disease (ALT 54x ULN, AST 30x ULN, and total bilirubin 2.2x ULN) following two 600 mg intravenous doses of SKYRIZI. The liver test abnormalities resolved following administration of steroids. SKYRIZI was subsequently discontinued.

For the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline, and during induction at least up to 12 weeks of treatment. Monitor thereafter according to routine patient management.

Consider other treatment options in patients with evidence of liver cirrhosis.

Prompt investigation of the cause of liver enzyme elevation is recommended to identify potential cases of drug-induced liver injury. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded. Instruct patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction.

5.5 Immunizations

Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with SKYRIZI. Drugs that interact with the immune system may increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating therapy with SKYRIZI, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. No data are available on the response to live or inactive vaccines.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

The following adverse reactions are discussed in other sections of labeling:

• Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]

• Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]

• Tuberculosis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]

• Hepatotoxicity [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse drug reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

Adverse Reactions in Adults with Plaque Psoriasis

A total of 2234 subjects were treated with SKYRIZI in clinical development trials in plaque psoriasis. Of these, 1208 subjects with psoriasis were exposed to SKYRIZI for at least one year.

Data from placebo- and active-controlled trials were pooled to evaluate the safety of SKYRIZI for up to 16 weeks. In total, 1306 subjects were evaluated in the SKYRIZI 150 mg group.

Page 11

Table 4 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% and at a higher rate in the SKYRIZI group than the placebo group during the 16-week controlled period of pooled clinical trials.

Table 4. Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 1% of Adults with Plaque Psoriasis on SKYRIZI through Week 16 SKYRIZI Placebo

Adverse reactions that occurred in < 1% but > 0.1% of subjects in the SKYRIZI group and at a higher rate than in the placebo group through Week 16 were folliculitis and urticaria.

Specific Adverse Reactions

Infections: In the first 16 weeks, infections occurred in 22.1% of the SKYRIZI group (90.8 events per 100 patient-years) compared with 14.7% of the placebo group (56.5 events per 100 patient-years) and did not lead to discontinuation of SKYRIZI. The rates of serious infections for the SKYRIZI group and the placebo group were ≤0.4%. Serious infections in the SKYRIZI group included cellulitis, osteomyelitis, sepsis, and herpes zoster. In Trials PsO-1 and PsO-2, through Week 52, the rate of infections (73.9 events per 100 patient-years) was similar to the rate observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment.

Safety Through Week 52

Through Week 52, no new adverse reactions were identified, and the rates of the adverse reactions were similar to those observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment. During this period, serious infections that led to trial discontinuation included pneumonia.

Plaque Psoriasis of the Scalp or Genital Area

The overall safety profile observed in clinical trials of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis of the scalp or genital area treated with SKYRIZI is generally consistent with the safety profile observed in previous clinical trials of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].

Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Subjects 6 Years of Age and Older with Plaque Psoriasis

Page 12

The safety of SKYRIZI was evaluated in a four-part trial that included 137 pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Overall, the safety profile observed in pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older treated with SKYRIZI for up to 52 weeks was consistent with the safety profile observed in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Psoriatic Arthritis

The overall safety profile observed in adult subjects with psoriatic arthritis treated with SKYRIZI is generally consistent with the safety profile in adult subjects with plaque psoriasis. Additionally, in the Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials the incidence of hepatic events was higher in the SKYRIZI group (5.4%, 16.7 events per 100 patient-years) compared to the placebo group (3.9%, 12.6 events per 100 patient-years). Of these, the most common events that were reported more frequently in both the placebo group and the SKYRIZI group were ALT increased (placebo: n=12 (1.7%); SKYRIZI: n=16 (2.3%)), AST increased (placebo: n=9 (1.3%); SKYRIZI: n=13 (1.8%)), and GGT increased (placebo: n=5 (0.7%); SKYRIZI: n=8 (1.1%)). There were no serious hepatic events reported. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions was higher in the SKYRIZI group (n=16, 2.3%) compared to the placebo group (n=9, 1.3%). In the Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials, hypersensitivity reactions reported at a higher rate in the SKYRIZI group included rash (placebo: n=4 (0.6%); SKYRIZI: n=5 (0.7%)), allergic rhinitis (placebo: n=1 (0.1%); SKYRIZI: n=2 (0.3%)), and facial swelling (placebo: n=0 (0.0%); SKYRIZI n=1 (0.1%)). One case of anaphylaxis was reported in a subject who received SKYRIZI in the Phase 2 clinical trial.

Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Crohn’s Disease

SKYRIZI was studied up to 12 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction trials (CD-1, CD-2) and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding trial (CD-4; NCT02031276). Longterm safety up to 52 weeks was evaluated in subjects who responded to induction therapy in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance trial (CD-3) [see Clinical Studies (14.3)].

In the two induction trials (CD-1, CD-2) and the dose finding trial (CD-4), 620 subjects received the SKYRIZI intravenous induction regimen at Weeks 0, 4 and 8. In the maintenance trial (CD- 3), 297 subjects who achieved clinical response, defined as a reduction in CDAI of at least 100 points from baseline after 12 weeks of induction treatment with intravenous SKYRIZI in trials CD-1 and CD-2, received a maintenance regimen of SKYRIZI either 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneously at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter for up to an additional 52 weeks.

Adverse reactions reported in > 3% of subjects in induction trials and at a higher rate than placebo are shown in Table 5.
