Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of ABBV‐154 in Adults With Glucocorticoid‐Dependent Polymyalgia Rheumatica: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective An unmet need exists for glucocorticoid‐sparing treatments for patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The antibody‐drug conjugate ABBV‐154 comprises adalimumab conjugated to a glucocorticoid receptor modulator. We evaluated ABBV‐154 versus placebo in patients with glucocorticoid‐dependent PMR.
