AbbVie’s long-term Rinvoq data shows continued repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo
AbbVie presented phase 3 study data at the 2026 EADV Congress, showing Rinvoq (upadacitinib) demonstrated continued facial and body repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo through week 76. The data also included week-28 findings from a phototherapy substudy, where Rinvoq combined with NB-UVB phototherapy showed higher repigmentation responses than Rinvoq alone. Rinvoq is approved in the EU for NSV treatment and is under FDA review in the US.
