The FDA has approved a combination treatment from AbbVie and AstraZeneca for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), which could significantly improve patient outcomes by offering an all-oral, fixed-duration option. The approval is based on positive Phase 3 trial results showing the treatment’s superiority over standard chemotherapy in delaying disease progression. Despite the positive news, AbbVie’s stock performance lags slightly behind the broader healthcare sector, though analysts maintain a “Buy” rating.
