Late-stage (Phase 3) AFFIRM data for subcutaneous Skyrizi in Crohn’s disease are being presented publicly — that could lead to new treatment options if regulators approve expanded indications, and it influences prescribing and drug availability in the longer term.

Patients with Crohn’s disease considering biologic options, clinicians who treat IBD, researchers tracking IL-23 therapies, and patients on biologic therapy concerned about market/availability changes.
AbbVie disclosed Phase 3 AFFIRM data for subcutaneous Skyrizi in Crohn’s disease at a major gastroenterology conference; the trading/market article interprets those data as boosting investor confidence and AbbVie’s revenue outlook amid Humira erosion.
