Portfolio Updates

MPNs and GVHD – key highlights

LIMBER (Leadership In MPNs and GVHD BEyond Ruxolitinib) program: Important LIMBER updates were presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December 2022:

• Parsaclisib + ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis (MF): Final results from the Phase 2 trial in MF patients with a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib demonstrated additional spleen volume response and symptom improvement with the addition of parsaclisib. Add-on parsaclisib was generally well-tolerated. A Phase 3 trial evaluating parsaclisib as an add-on to ruxolitinib in suboptimal responders is ongoing with results expected at the end of 2023.

• Zilurgisertib (ALK2) ± ruxolitinib in MF: Initial results from the Phase 1 study evaluating zilurgisertib as monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with anemia due to MF were presented, establishing proof of mechanism in improving anemia. Updated combination data with ruxolitinib are expected later this year.

• INCA33989 (mCALR) in MF and essential thrombocythemia (ET): A novel anti-mutant calreticulin (mCALR) monoclonal antibody was unveiled during the ASH plenary session. These data highlight Incyte's discovery capabilities and research progress in MF and ET; two patient populations where 25-35% of patients have a CALR mutation. INCA33989 is expected to enter the clinic later this year.

Ruxolitinib extended release (XR) formulation: The New Drug Application (NDA) was accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of March 23, 2023.

Axatilimab in chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): In December, Syndax and Incyte announced that results from the Phase 1/2 trial of axatilimab in patients with recurrent or refractory chronic GVHD following two or more prior lines of therapy were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. The data demonstrate that treatment with axatilimab resulted in an overall response rate (ORR) by cycle 7, day 1 of 67% across all patients. AGAVE-201, a global pivotal Phase 2 trial of axatilimab in patients with cGVHD, is ongoing with results expected mid-2023. A Phase 1/2 combination trial of axatilimab with ruxolitinib in patients with newly-diagnosed cGVHD is expected to initiate later this year.

Jakafi patent extension: Incyte was granted pediatric exclusivity which adds six months to the expiration for all ruxolitinib patents, thereby extending the patent expiry for Jakafi through December 2028.

Dermatology

Opzelura growth coming from both atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo in the U.S.: More than 84,000 units of Opzelura were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2022 driven by strong growth in new patient starts across AD and vitiligo, as well as broadening formulary coverage. Refills grew across both indications, helping drive net product revenues to $61 million, a growth of 61% versus the third quarter. Additionally, in late 2022, Incyte received an issued patent and allowed claims directed to the treatments of atopic dermatitis and vitiligo, respectively, with expiration dates of 2040.

Ruxolitinib cream in pediatric AD: A Phase 3 trial of ruxolitinib cream in pediatric AD is ongoing, with results expected by end of year. There are an estimated 2 million pediatric AD patients ages 2 to 11 in the U.S.

Ruxolitinib cream in vitiligo in Europe: A marketing authorization application (MAA) is under review at the European Medicines Agency (EMA), with the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) opinion expected in the first half of 2023.

Ruxolitinib cream in other indications: Incyte continues to expand the development of ruxolitinib cream into new indications to maximize the opportunity with Opzelura. In December, a Phase 2 trial evaluating ruxolitinib cream in mild to moderate hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) was initiated. Two Phase 2 trials in lichen planus (LP) and lichen sclerosus (LS) are ongoing. There are no topical therapies approved in hidradenitis suppurativa, lichen planus or lichen sclerosus.

2022 Fourth Quarter and Year-end Financial Results

The financial measures presented in this press release for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), unless otherwise identified as a Non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Incyte’s GAAP disclosures. Management uses such information internally and externally for establishing budgets, operating goals and financial planning purposes. These metrics are also used to manage the Company’s business and monitor performance. The Company adjusts, where appropriate, for expenses in order to reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company believes these adjustments are useful to investors by providing an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core operations. The metrics have been adopted to align the Company with disclosures provided by industry peers.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used in conjunction with and to supplement Incyte’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in our industry.

As changes in exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, Management believes the presentation of certain revenue results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current year results using prior year foreign currency exchange rates and generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

About Pemazyre^® (pemigatinib)

Pemazyre is a kinase inhibitor indicated in the United States for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test*. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Pemazyre is also the first targeted treatment approved for use in the United States for treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms (MLNs) with FGFR1 rearrangement.

In Japan, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion gene, worsening after cancer chemotherapy.

In Europe, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that have progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.

Pemazyre is a potent, selective, oral inhibitor of FGFR isoforms 1, 2 and 3 which, in preclinical studies, has demonstrated selective pharmacologic activity against cancer cells with FGFR alterations.

Pemazyre is marketed by Incyte in the United States, Europe and Japan.

Pemazyre is a trademark of Incyte Corporation.
