AbbVie announces that the U.S. FDA has approved its Skyrizi for adults with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis, bringing to four the product's indications in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.

"With more than one million people living with ulcerative colitis, the U.S. has one of the largest populations affected by this disease, and the numbers continue to grow," the healthcare group highlights.

This approval is supported by two Phase III clinical trials, which showed that clinical remission, the primary endpoint, was achieved at the same time as endoscopic improvement, the key secondary endpoint.
