Cure8 news brief
Growth and new approvals for Skyrizi and Rinvoq may increase treatment options and influence which drugs gastroenterologists prescribe for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Changes in approvals, dosing options, and insurer uptake can affect patient access and insurance coverage timing.
Adult patients with IBD, patients on biologics, gastroenterology clinicians, and researchers tracking IBD treatment market trends.
AbbVie’s Q2 2026 revenue strength was driven by two immunology drugs, Skyrizi (risankizumab) and Rinvoq (upadacitinib), with strong sales growth and market-share gains in IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis).
The company raised its Skyrizi sales outlook and noted continued momentum for Rinvoq in gastroenterology; regulatory milestones mentioned include a U.S. decision awaited for a subcutaneous Skyrizi induction regimen in Crohn’s disease and pending U.S. reviews for Rinvoq dermatology indications.
This is a business/market report summarizing corporate sales, forecasts, competition, and regulatory timing rather than new clinical data. It highlights how new indications, launches, and route-of-administration changes can affect drug uptake and company revenue.
If you follow IBD treatment trends, this article signals that risankizumab and upadacitinib are growing players in IBD and that payer/reimbursement timing may influence when changes in prescribing reach patients.
This is market/financial reporting (Zacks/TradingView) summarizing company sales, forecasts, and regulatory expectations — not a clinical study.
