AbbVie Inc. said Friday the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, or CHMP, recommended the approval of Rinvoq for active psoriatic arthritis and active ankylosing spondylitis.

The positive opinions are based on results from three pivotal clinical studies in which Rinvoq demonstrated efficacy across multiple measures of disease activity, AbbVie said.

The CHMP positive opinion is a scientific recommendation for marketing authorization to the European Commission, the company said.
