AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV) and Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:NBIX) presented positive additional results from two replicate Phase 3 trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of elagolix in women with uterine fibroids at the 47th American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists Global Congress on Minimally Invasive Gynecology in Las Vegas, Nevada.
