The Rinvoq lawsuit says AbbVie executives mislead investors by failing to disclose safety concerns affecting Xeljanz would also apply to Rinvoq.
The move comes after the FDA held up Rinvoq approvals for months due to concerns it carried similar cancer and heart risks as Xeljanz.
The approvals come after new warnings about Xeljanz and Rinvoq side effects, which have been linked to cancer, blood clots and heart problems.
