Recent Events

    --  AbbVie announced that it has submitted an application for a new
        indication to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Rinvoq
        (upadacitinib), a selective and reversible JAK inhibitor, for the
        treatment of adult patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
        AbbVie also submitted an application to the European Medicines Agency
        (EMA) for Rinvoq for the treatment of adult patients with active AS who
        have responded inadequately to conventional therapy. The applications
        are supported by data from SELECT-AXIS 1, a Phase 2/3 study in which
        Rinvoq demonstrated significant improvements in signs and symptoms in
        patients with active AS. In the study, twice as many patients receiving
        Rinvoq (52 percent) met the primary endpoint of Assessment of
        SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 40 response versus
        placebo (26 percent) at week 14. The safety profile of Rinvoq in AS was
        consistent with previously reported studies across therapeutic areas,
        including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), atopic dermatitis (AD) and
        psoriatic arthritis (PsA), with no new significant safety risks
        detected.
    --  AbbVie announced that it submitted applications to the FDA and EMA
        seeking approval for Rinvoq for the treatment of adults (15 mg and 30
        mg, once daily) and adolescents (15 mg, once daily) with moderate to
        severe AD. The applications are supported by data from three pivotal
        Phase 3 studies. In all three studies, Rinvoq met the co-primary and all
        secondary endpoints, demonstrating significant improvement in skin
        clearance and reduction in itch in adults and adolescents with moderate
        to severe AD compared to placebo. No new safety risks of Rinvoq were
        observed in these studies compared to the safety profile observed in
        patients with RA, PsA or AS receiving Rinvoq.
    --  AbbVie announced the FDA full approval of Venclexta (venetoclax) in
        combination with azacitidine, or decitabine, or low-dose cytarabine
        (LDAC) for the treatment of newly-diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
        in adults who are age 75 years or older, or who have comorbidities that
        preclude the use of intensive induction chemotherapy. The FDA had
        previously granted accelerated approval to Venclexta for this indication
        in 2018. The approval is supported by data from a series of trials
        including two Phase 3 trials - VIALE-A and VIALE-C. The VIALE-A trial
        showed that significantly more patients treated with Venclexta in
        combination with azacitidine achieved complete remission and lived
        longer versus patients treated with azacitidine alone. Additionally, The
        National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend the
        Venclexta and azacitidine combination as a Category 1 Preferred AML
        treatment regimen for patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy.
        Venetoclax is being developed by AbbVie and Roche and is jointly
        commercialized by AbbVie and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, in
        the U.S. and by AbbVie outside of the U.S.
    --  AbbVie and I-Mab signed a broad, global collaboration agreement for the
        development and commercialization of lemzoparlimab, an innovative
        anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody internally discovered and developed by
        I-Mab for the treatment of multiple cancers. The collaboration provides
        AbbVie with an exclusive global license, excluding greater China, to
        develop and commercialize lemzoparlimab and both companies will have the
        potential to expand the collaboration to additional transformative
        therapies. Under the terms of the agreement, AbbVie will pay I-Mab $180
        million in an upfront payment to exclusively license lemzoparlimab,
        along with $20 million in a milestone payment based on Phase 1
        lemzoparlimab trial results. I-Mab will be eligible to receive up to an
        additional $1.74 billion in success-based milestone payments.
    --  At the 2020 Virtual Migraine Trust International Symposium (MTIS) AbbVie
        presented 15 abstracts evaluating the safety, efficacy, and impact on
        patients and the healthcare system of AbbVie's migraine treatment and
        prevention portfolio. Presentations included new data from the Phase 3
        ADVANCE trial evaluating investigational medicine atogepant for the
        preventive treatment of migraine; real-world evidence assessing safety,
        tolerability, and potential benefits of treatment with Botox
        (onabotulinumtoxinA) in combination with calcitonin gene-related peptide
        (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for chronic migraine prevention; and
        Phase 3 data measuring the efficacy and safety of Ubrelvy (ubrogepant)
        for the acute treatment of migraine with mild pain.
    --  At the 2020 International Congress of Parkinson's Disease and Movement
        Disorders AbbVie presented 18 abstracts that highlighted new and updated
        data evaluating AbbVie's neuroscience portfolio and pipeline.
        Presentations included final data from the Phase 3 12-week DYSCOVER
        study, the first randomized trial of Duodopa (levodopa/carbidopa
        intestinal gel) (LCIG) on the duration and severity of dyskinesia in
        patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Overall, the results of
        this pivotal study demonstrated clinically meaningful benefit with LCIG
        treatment in reducing dyskinesia compared to optimized medical treatment
        in patients with advanced PD.
    --  AbbVie announced that the FDA granted Orphan Drug and Fast Track
        designations for elezanumab (ABT-555), an investigational treatment for
        patients following spinal cord injury. Elezanumab is currently in phase
        2 studies for the treatment of spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis
        and acute ischemic stroke.
    --  Allergan Aesthetics presented 4 abstracts at the annual American Society
        for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) virtual meeting. Presentations included
        data on patient satisfaction following chin augmentation with hyaluronic
        acid fillers as well as patient satisfaction and the efficacy of
        treatment of upper facial lines with Botox.
    --  Allergan Aesthetics entered into an agreement with Luminera, a privately
        held aesthetics company based in Israel, to acquire Luminera's full
        dermal filler portfolio and R&D pipeline further enhancing Allergan
        Aesthetics' leading dermal filler portfolio. Luminera's key value driver
        for the future is HArmonyCa, an innovative dermal filler intended for
        facial soft tissue augmentation comprised of a combination of
        cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) with embedded calcium hydroxyapatite
        (CaHA) microspheres that is highly differentiated in the dermal filler
        category. HArmonyCa is currently commercially available in Israel and
        Brazil and Allergan Aesthetics will continue to develop this product for
        its International and U.S. markets.
    --  Allergan Aesthetics and Skinbetter Science announced the launch of a new
        long-term, educational initiative - DREAM: Driving Racial Equity in
        Aesthetic Medicine. The DREAM Initiative is committed to furthering the
        principles of racial and ethnic diversity, inclusion, respect and
        understanding in the fields of dermatology and plastic surgery.
    --  AbbVie announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 GEMINI 1 and
        GEMINI 2 trials evaluating AGN-190584, an ophthalmic solution of
        pilocarpine 1.25%, for the treatment of symptoms associated with
        presbyopia. In both studies, AGN-190584 met the primary endpoint,
        demonstrating a statistically significant improvement in near vision.
        The majority of secondary endpoints were also met in both Phase 3
        studies. Additional details from the GEMINI 1 and GEMINI 2 studies will
        be presented at future medical meetings and will serve as the basis for
        a New Drug Application (NDA) submission to the FDA in the first half of
        2021.
