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

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2022 second quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

“The second quarter was strong with total revenues up 29% year-over-year, multiple approvals and the continued advancement of our pipeline. The launch of Opzelura in atopic dermatitis continues to progress well and in recent weeks, improvements in reimbursement have translated into an increase in covered claims. Revenues in the second quarter were temporarily impacted by the shift from free drug to paid prescription. Patient demand and satisfaction remain strong,” said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “In July, Opzelura was also approved by the FDA in nonsegmental vitiligo, creating a new growth opportunity as the first therapy approved for repigmentation of vitiligo.”

Portfolio Updates

MPNs and GVHD – key highlights

LIMBER (Leadership In MPNs BEyond Ruxolitinib) program: The LIMBER development program is advancing with the FDA acceptance of the NDA for once-daily (QD) ruxolitinib, and the progression of multiple ongoing and planned combination trials with ruxolitinib. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date for QD ruxolitinib extended release (XR) formulation is March 23, 2023. Incyte’s partner, Cellenkos, announced the FDA clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to initiate a Phase 1b, open-label study of CK0804 as an add on therapy to ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis who experience a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib. Combination trials of parsaclisib, INCB57643 (BET) and INCB00928 (ALK2) with ruxolitinib are also ongoing.

Itacitinib in chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD): Incyte no longer intends to develop itacitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, in treatment-naïve chronic GVHD (cGVHD). Based on efficacy data from Part 1 of the Phase 2/3 GRAVITAS-309 trial, it was determined that a pivotal trial was unlikely to be successful.

		Indication and status
QD ruxolitinib (JAK1/JAK2)		Myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and GVHD: clinical pharmacology studies; NDA under review
ruxolitinib + parsaclisib (JAK1/JAK2 + PI3Kδ)		Myelofibrosis: Phase 3 (first-line therapy) (LIMBER‑313) Myelofibrosis: Phase 3 (suboptimal responders to ruxolitinib) (LIMBER‑304)

¹ Development collaboration with Cellenkos, Inc.
² Clinical development of axatilimab in GVHD conducted in collaboration with Syndax Pharmaceuticals.

Other Hematology/Oncology – key highlights

Pemigatinib (Pemazyre^®): A Phase 2 open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of pemigatinib in adults with previously treated glioblastoma or other primary central nervous system tumors harboring activating FGFR1-3 alterations (FIGHT-209) and a Phase 2 open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of pemigatinib in adults with relapsed or refractory advanced non-small cell lung cancer with an FGFR alteration (FIGHT-210) are ongoing.

		Indication and status

Inflammation and Autoimmunity (IAI) – key highlights

Dermatology

Continued momentum with Opzelura launch in atopic dermatitis (AD) in the U.S.: Coverage for Opzelura has been established with the three largest PBM/GPOs and more plans continue to add Opzelura to formularies. The demand for Opzelura continues to be strong with nearly 48,000 units of Opzelura shipped in the second quarter and we expect strong physician and patient perceptions of Opzelura to drive increased usage in mild to moderate AD patients.

Opzelura approved for vitiligo in the U.S.; under review in Europe: Opzelura was approved as a treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo - which account for ~85% of patients with vitiligo - in adolescents and adults in the U.S., becoming the first and only medicine approved for repigmentation in vitiligo. The marketing authorization application (MAA) is under review at the European Medicines Agency (EMA) with an expected decision from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) by the end of the year.

Povorcitinib (INCB54707): Povorcitinib is currently in Phase 2 trials for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), vitiligo and prurigo nodularis. Based on findings from the Phase 2 trial, Incyte intends to initiate a Phase 3 study in HS later this year.

		Indication and status
ruxolitinib cream1 (JAK1/JAK2)		AD: Phase 3 pediatric study (TRuE-AD3) Vitiligo: Phase 3 (TRuE-V1, TRuE-V2); approved by FDA; MAA under review CHE: Phase 3 (TRuE-CHE1 and TRuE-CHE2) in preparation
ruxolitinib cream + UVB (JAK1/JAK2 + phototherapy)		Vitiligo: Phase 2
povorcitinib (JAK1)		Hidradenitis suppurativa: Phase 2b; Phase 3 in preparation Vitiligo: Phase 2 Prurigo nodularis: Phase 2

¹ Novartis’ rights for ruxolitinib outside of the United States under our Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis do not include topical administration.

Incyte’s portfolio of other earlier-stage clinical candidates is summarized below.

INCB123667 (CDK2): INCB123667 is a novel, potent and selective oral small molecule inhibitor of CDK2 which has been shown to suppress tumor growth as monotherapy and in combination with standard of care, in Cyclin E amplified tumor models, in vivo. A Phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of INCB123667 in adults with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors has been initiated.

INCA32459 (LAG-3xPD-1): In collaboration with Merus, Incyte has developed INCA32459, a novel LAG3xPD-1 bispecific antibody that is planned to enter clinical studies later this year.

Olumiant^® (baricitinib) approved for alopecia areata (AA) in U.S., Europe and Japan: In June, Incyte and Eli Lilly announced the approval of Olumiant for the treatment of adults with severe alopecia areata in the U.S., becoming the first-in-disease systemic treatment. Olumiant was also approved in Europe and Japan in June. The approval was based on Lilly’s BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials, which showed one in three adults taking Olumiant 4-mg/day achieved significant hair regrowth resulting in 80% or more scalp coverage.

Tabrecta^® (capmatinib) approved in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET exon-14 in Europe: In June, Tabrecta was approved by the European Commission as a monotherapy for the treatment of adults with advanced NSCLC harboring alterations leading to mesenchymal-epithelial-transition factor gene (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping who require systemic therapy following prior treatment with immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy.
