Eli Lilly’s Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) is forecast to become the market leader in BTK inhibitors for CLL, garnering nearly 60% share with about $3 billion in sales by 2032, according to GlobalData.

The Biden administration on Tuesday released its list of 10 prescription medicines that will be subject to the first-ever price negotiations by the U.S. Medicare health program that covers 66 million people, with big-selling blood thinner Eliquis from Bristol Myers Squibb and Pfizer among them.

AbbVie Inc. nd partner Johnson & Johnson intend to voluntarily withdraw the accelerated approvals of their Imbruvica drug in the U.S. for patients with certain types of blood cancer, the companies said on Thursday.

The government will launch the negotiation process in September by naming the first drugs it plans to target. They are expected to be the 10 pharmacy-based prescription drugs it spends the most on for the year ended May 2023.

In a fireside chat at the 41st J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, CEO Rick Gonzalez said AbbVie is well-positioned for continued growth.

In a head-to-head comparison trial, BeiGene’s Brukinsa (zanubrutinib) bested Janssen’s Imbruvica (ibrutinib) in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic leukemia (SLL). 

AbbVie may have doubled in size since the Allergan acquisition, but nearly half the company’s revenue, and a large chunk of its potential future growth, are still coming from a familiar place.

The Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson today announced new and updated results from the Phase 2 CAPTIVATE study evaluating IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib) in combination with venetoclax (I+V) as a potential fixed-duration (FD) treatment in adult patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Updated data from the FD cohort with three years of follow-up shows that I+V continues to demonstrate deep and durable responses and clinically meaningful progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in the first-line treatment setting.

Johnson & Johnson and AbbVie’s big-selling leukemia drug Imbruvica in combination with standard treatment kept a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in check for more than two years longer than the standard regimen alone in older patients, according to data presented on Friday.
