Frequently asked questions about ABBV-155

What is ABBV-155?

ABBV-155 is an investigational small molecule developed by AbbVie Inc. (ticker ABBV) for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. It is designed to target BCL-xL and has been studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial. It is not approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

What is ABBV-155 used for?

ABBV-155 is being studied for use in adults with advanced solid tumors, including relapsed and refractory disease. The Phase 1 trial evaluated it both as a single agent and in combination with taxane therapy. It is investigational and has not been approved for any use.

What does ABBV-155 target?

ABBV-155 targets BCL-xL, a protein involved in regulating cell survival. By inhibiting BCL-xL, the drug is intended to promote apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in tumor cells. This mechanism is being explored in advanced solid tumors.

Who is developing ABBV-155?

ABBV-155 is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie sponsored the Phase 1 clinical trial of the drug in advanced solid tumors. No other developers or partners are identified for this asset.

What phase is ABBV-155 in?

ABBV-155 is in Phase 1 clinical development. Its single trial, NCT03595059, has been completed. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval. No active trials are currently listed for ABBV-155.

What clinical trials is ABBV-155 in?

ABBV-155 was studied in one Phase 1 trial, NCT03595059, titled a study with ABBV-155 alone and in combination with taxane therapy in adults with relapsed and/or refractory solid tumors. The trial enrolled 168 patients across the United States, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, and Taiwan, and is completed.
