Current report

Immunology products experienced an operational decline of 11.8% as compared to the same period a year ago due to the sales decline of STELARA (ustekinumab) driven by the impact of biosimilar competition, increasing adoption of novel classes and unfavorable patient mix as well as declines of SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA and REMICADE (infliximab) driven by share loss, biosimilar competition, and unfavorable patient mix partially offset by market growth. The decline was partially offset by growth of TREMFYA (guselkumab) due to share gains across all indications with significant IBD launch momentum and market growth.
