AbbVie has filed for expanded U.S. and European approval of its blockbuster autoimmune drug Rinvoq in the chronic autoimmune disease vitiligo.

AbbVie on Tuesday said the applications with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency cover Rinvoq for the treatment of adults and adolescents with non-segmental vitiligo, which is characterized by symmetrical and bilateral white patches on both sides of the body.

The North Chicago, Ill., biopharmaceutical company said a green light would make Rinvoq the first systemic medication available · for patients with vitiligo, which is the most common depigmenting disorder worldwide.

AbbVie has previously said that it expects revenue from Rinvoq, which is already approved for use in several autoimmune diseases, to top $11 billion in 2027.
