AbbVie has won European Commission approval of Elahere to treat adult patients with a type of ovarian cancer.
AbbVie on Monday said the green light covers Elahere for treating adult patients with folate receptor-alpha positive, platinum-resistant high grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens.
Elahere, which won initial U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in 2022 for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and full approval earlier this year, was the key asset in AbbVie's $10.1 billion acquisition of biotech ImmunoGen that closed in February.
The North Chicago, Ill., biopharmaceutical company reported Elahere net revenue of $139 million in the third quarter.
