AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) Wednesday said Rinvoq met the primary and key secondary endpoints in a phase 3 study in psoriatic arthritis.

The North Chicago, Ill., biopharmaceutical company said the 15- and 30-milligram once-daily doses of Rinvoq met the primary endpoint of ACR20 response at week 12 versus placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis.

Rinvoq also showed significant improvements in signs and symptoms of the inflammatory disease across a variety of endpoints compared to placebo, the company said.

AbbVie said it will share the data with regulatory bodies around the world to support its application for expanded use of the drug, which last year received U.S. and European approval for adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis.
