RINVOQ (upadacitinib) has been approved for adults with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease, providing an oral treatment option for patients who have had an inadequate response to tumor necrosis factor blockers.
Pfizer's RSVpreF vaccine candidate for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has received support for its efficacy and safety from the FDA's advisory committee. If approved, it could prevent RSV-related lower respiratory tract disease in infants.
