AbbVie's etentamig shows 74% response rate in cancer trial, beating standard treatment by 28 percentage points

AbbVie's experimental cancer drug etentamig achieved a 74% overall response rate in a pivotal Phase 3 trial for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, significantly outperforming standard treatments at 45.7%. The study also met its progression-free-survival endpoint. The drug remains investigational pending regulatory review. AbbVie's oncology division reported $1.65 billion in second-quarter revenue, down 1.5%, representing roughly 9.7% of total sales. Venclexta grew 11.6%, whilst Imbruvica declined 29.4%. AbbVie shares traded at $260.445. The company requires new growth drivers as its existing oncology portfolio faces mixed performance. Detailed safety and durability data have not yet been disclosed.

J&J rises 1% as AbbVie's myeloma drug shows 74% response rate

Johnson & Johnson shares rose roughly 1% to $277.96 Thursday after AbbVie announced its experimental multiple-myeloma drug, etentamig, achieved a 74% response rate and reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 60% compared to standard therapies. AbbVie's trial positions a convenient monthly treatment in the myeloma market for potential outpatient use. However, J&J is defending its growing franchise, with Carvykti driving 6.8% operational growth in Innovative Medicine during the second quarter. According to Reuters, etentamig appears most differentiated after CAR-T therapy rather than as a direct Carvykti substitute. The market is treating AbbVie's advancement as category expansion rather than a direct threat to J&J. J&J's current share price stands 44.08% above its $192.92 valuation estimate, making future safety and durability data critical for investors.

AbbVie's oncology sales fall 2.4% to $1.65B as Imbruvica drops 29%

AbbVie's oncology revenues declined 2.4% year over year to $1.65 billion in Q2 2026, pressured by blood cancer drug Imbruvica, whose sales fell 29.4% to $532 million due to competitive pressure and IRA-driven pricing changes. However, growth from other products partially offset this decline. Venclexta sales rose nearly 10% to $771 million, driven by strong demand in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Newer products showed robust growth, with Elahere up 32% to $211 million and Epkinly increasing 48% to $103 million. Lung cancer therapy Emrelis exceeded expectations as physicians became more familiar with c-Met testing. The quarter also marked the launch of Decnupaz, AbbVie's first marketed antibody drug conjugate in haematology, following recent FDA approval for blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm.
