Ab­b­Vie wins a 5-year free pass on mega-block­buster Hu­mi­ra in biosim set­tle­ment with ri­val Am­gen

It was clear from a re­cent sit-down with Leerink’s Ge­of­frey Porges that Ab­b­Vie was feel­ing good about keep­ing its mega-block­buster Hu­mi­ra fran­chise in the US to it­self through 2022. And this morn­ing we got a peek in­to why they were so bull­ish.
