AbbVie said the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recommended the approval of risankizumab alone or in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis.

The recommendation covers adults who have had an inadequate response or who have been intolerant to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The CHMP positive opinion is a scientific recommendation for marketing authorization to the European Commission, which authorizes marketing approval in the EU.

The CHMP positive opinion was supported by data from two pivotal Phase 3 studies.
