Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to 3 Years

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above.

Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of ABBV-453
Up to 18 Months

MAD is defined as the highest administered dose if no maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of ABBV-453
Up to 18 Months

MTD is defined as the highest dose administered that does not result in a final determination of de-escalate at that dose level.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) per International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Criteria
Up to Approximately 12 Months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed best overall response (BOR) of partial response (PR) + very good partial response (VGPR) + complete response (CR) + stringent complete response (sCR) as assessed by investigators per adapted IMWG criteria for relapsed or refractory (R/R) multiple myeloma (MM).

Frequently asked questions about ABBV-453

What is ABBV-453 used for?

ABBV-453 is an investigational oral small molecule being studied in adults with relapsed or refractory blood cancers, specifically chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. It is not approved for any indication and remains in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who is developing ABBV-453?

ABBV-453 is being developed by AbbVie Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ABBV. AbbVie is the sponsor of the Phase 1 studies evaluating the drug in relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

What phase is ABBV-453 in?

ABBV-453 is in Phase 1 clinical development. Both listed studies are Phase 1 trials, and neither has been completed. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval for any indication.

What clinical trials is ABBV-453 in?

ABBV-453 is being evaluated in two Phase 1 trials. NCT06291220 is assessing adverse events and how oral ABBV-453 moves through the body in adults with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL, with 4 participants enrolled across the United States, Australia, Germany, Israel, and Italy. NCT05308654 is studying adverse events and disease activity changes in 34 adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma across the United States, Australia, Israel, and the United Kingdom. Both trials are active but not recruiting.

Is ABBV-453 FDA approved?

No. ABBV-453 is an investigational drug in Phase 1 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. It is being studied in adults with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia, small lymphocytic lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

How is ABBV-453 administered?

ABBV-453 is an oral small molecule. The Phase 1 trial NCT05308654 describes administration as oral ABBV-453 tablets in adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, and NCT06291220 also evaluates oral ABBV-453 in adults with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL.
