Where: Company financial disclosures / earnings call commentary on migraine franchise sales (10-K segment data or management guidance updates)
In context
“next wave of RINVOQ indications. You know, we have a lot of confidence in the long-term potential for those two assets. But beyond immunology, when you look at AbbVie, I think what's underappreciated is both, I'd say, neuroscience and oncology in particular. I'd say neuroscience is clearly overperforming. We delivered nearly 20% growth last year. We expect to deliver mid-teens growth this year. It'll put us in the number one position in the industry.

And I haven't even mentioned essential tremor or other therapeutic toxin indications, or the opportunity in Alzheimer's. And so, you know, we have, I'd say, a profound opportunity to lead in neuroscience for the long term, and that's clearly not re”
