STUDY OVERVIEW

Deploying the right field resources while introducing a new product to the market is integral to launch success.

AbbVie’s RINVOQ, along with other immunology launches, is anticipated to drive growth after its blockbuster Humira faces U.S. biosimilars in 2023. RINVOQ (upadacitinib) – a JAK (Janus kinase) inhibitor – disrupted the rheumatoid arthritis treatment landscape in less than one year after its launch in August 2019.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this analysis to examine the field resources deployed by AbbVie during the first year of the launch of RINVOQ to cover medical and field sales operations in the United States. The analysis probes the field sales and medical staff FTEs (full time equivalents) invested during RINVOQ’s launch.
