FDA expands Rinvoq approval for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s in adults who’ve tried other treatments.
The FDA has expanded approval for AbbVie’s drug Rinvoq (upadacitinib) to treat adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease who have tried at least one other systemic therapy, including cases where TNF blockers aren’t suitable.
Previously approved only for patients who didn’t respond to or couldn’t tolerate TNF inhibitors, the update allows earlier use.
The drug, a JAK inhibitor, targets inflammation pathways but carries serious safety risks, including infections, blood clots, and cancer, especially in older adults with heart disease risk factors or smokers.
