This recommendation is based on successful Phase 3 REACH2 and REACH3 trials showing improved response rates of 62.3% and 49.7% for ruxolitinib compared to best available therapy.

Eli Lilly and Incyte provided updates on the Phase 3 development for OLUMIANT (baricitinib) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and atopic dermatitis. The Phase 3 lupus program has been discontinued after the SLE-BRAVE-I study met its primary endpoint, while SLE-BRAVE-II did not. Ongoing discussions with the FDA may lead to a Complete Response Letter for the atopic dermatitis sNDA due to lack of alignment on the indicated population. Lilly remains committed to other research with OLUMIANT, including potential regulatory approvals for COVID-19 and alopecia areata in 2022.

Incyte announced the withdrawal of its New Drug Application (NDA) for parsaclisib in the U.S. for treating relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma.

Additionally, Incyte has opted out of the continued development of MCLA-145, but will maintain collaboration with Merus. Parsaclisib remains in ongoing Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials for other indications.
