Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 8:00 a.m. ET

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2023 third quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

"Our double-digit revenue growth during the quarter was driven by sustained performance of Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) and an increasing contribution from Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) with continued strong patient demand and enhanced payer coverage," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. "We made significant progress with our early programs in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including mCALR and JAK2V617F, which have the potential to be disease modifying therapies that represent a fundamentally new approach to the way patients with MPNs are treated. Additionally, we recently received positive top line results from the Phase 2 study of povorcitinib in prurigo nodularis (PN) and plans are underway to initiate a Phase 3 study in 2024. With approximately 100,000 treated PN patients in the U.S., povorcitinib has the potential to be an efficacious therapy for those patients who currently have limited treatment options.”

Pipeline Updates

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) and Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) – key highlights

• Combination trials of ruxolitinib twice daily (BID) with zilurgisertib (ALK2) and INCB57643 (BET) are ongoing and continue to enroll. Additional data from these studies are anticipated to be shared in the fourth quarter of 2023.

• The Phase 1 study evaluating INCA033989 (mCALR) is ongoing and enrolling patients.

• In October, we announced the development of a new program targeting the JAK2V617F mutation, which is present in 55-60% of myelofibrosis (MF) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, and in 95% of polycythemia vera (PV) patients. INCB100658 is a small molecule inhibitor, targeting the JAK2V617F mutation and we expected to file the IND by year-end 2023.

Other Hematology/Oncology – key highlights

Oral small molecule PD-L1 program: Combination studies evaluating INCB99280 in combination with axitinib (VEGF) and in combination with ipilimumab (CTLA-4) are enrolling. Two Phase 2 monotherapy studies evaluating INCB99280 in patients with select solid tumors who are checkpoint inhibitor naive and in metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) or locally advanced cSCC, are enrolling.

Inflammation and Autoimmunity (IAI) – key highlights

Dermatology

Opzelura

• New results of a pooled analysis of long-term extension (LTE) data from the pivotal Phase 3 TRuE-V program assessing Opzelura cream 1.5% in patients 12 years of age and older with nonsegmental vitiligo who previously experienced limited or no response to treatment at Week 24 were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2023 as a late-breaking oral presentation . These results showed patients who initially experienced limited or no facial or total body repigmentation at six months achieved improved repigmentation after continued treatment with Opzelura for up to two years.

• Expanded results from the pivotal Phase 3 TRuE-AD3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) in children (age ≥2 to
