Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) today reports 2021 first quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s development portfolio.

“In the first quarter, we continued to make significant progress in our strategy to drive growth and diversification. While Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) net sales were affected by typical seasonal effects and softer patient demand growth due to the ongoing pandemic, we remain confident in our full-year outlook. We are already seeing a return of new patient starts to pre-COVID levels and are excited for the potential launch in steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) later this year. The launches of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab) and Pemazyre® (pemigatinib) continue to progress with good uptake by both academic and community physicians,” stated Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “We expect an exciting year ahead for Incyte with the potential for multiple approvals, including ruxolitinib cream in atopic dermatitis, and several regulatory filings, notably parsaclisib in NHL and ruxolitinib cream in vitiligo. We are also initiating pivotal trials across key development programs for both tafasitamab and LIMBER this year.”

Portfolio Update

MPNs and GVHD – key highlights

Ruxolitinib in GVHD: The supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) seeking approval of ruxolitinib for the treatment of steroid-refractory chronic GVHD has been accepted for Priority Review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date is June 22, 2021. The application for approval was based on the successful randomized REACH3 trial comparing ruxolitinib with best available therapy (BAT).

LIMBER: Our Leadership In MPNs BEyond Ruxolitinib (LIMBER) development program continues to progress with once daily (QD) ruxolitinib in stability testing, and multiple ongoing and planned combination trials with ruxolitinib on track. Both monotherapy trials of INCB57643 (BET) and INCB00928 (ALK2) are ongoing, and combination trials of both agents with ruxolitinib in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) are expected to initiate later this year. Two Phase 3 trials of ruxolitinib in combination with parsaclisib as a first-line therapy for patients with MF (LIMBER-313) and as a therapy for MF patients with a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib monotherapy (LIMBER-304) are ongoing.

Other Hematology/Oncology – key highlights

Tafasitamab: Incyte and MorphoSys strategy to evaluate tafasitamab as a backbone therapy in multiple combinations for the treatment of various B-cell malignancies is underway. The Phase 3 inMIND trial, evaluating tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide plus rituximab (R2) versus R2 in patients with follicular lymphoma and marginal zone lymphoma is ongoing. Preparations are underway for the Phase 3 frontMIND trial evaluating tafasitamab plus lenalidomide in addition to rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone (R-CHOP) compared to R-CHOP alone as a first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse-large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). A proof of concept trial evaluating tafasitamab plus parsaclisib (topMIND) is expected to start later this year and a second proof of concept trial with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide in addition to plamotamab is expected to start later this year or early next.

Pemigatinib: In March, Pemazyre® (pemigatinib) was approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) 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. Additionally, the European Commission (EC) approved Pemazyre 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. The upcoming launches in Europe and Japan along with the continued launch in the U.S., signifies the first internally discovered product to be globally commercialized by Incyte. The Phase 2 tumor agnostic study of pemigatinib is ongoing and continues to enroll well.

Retifanlimab: In March, the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) seeking approval of retifanlimab in squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCAC) was validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Inflammation and Autoimmunity (IAI) – key highlights

Dermatology

Ruxolitinib cream: The NDA seeking approval of ruxolitinib cream for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD) has been accepted for Priority Review by the FDA and the PDUFA date has been set for June 21, 2021. The application is supported by data from the Phase 3 TRuE-AD clinical trial program - pooled results presented last month at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) virtual conference provided additional context regarding the impact of ruxolitinib cream on itch relief as well as sleep disturbance and sleep impairment.

Also at AAD, Incyte presented 104-week data from the Phase 2 program evaluating ruxolitinib cream in patients with vitiligo. Results showed patients on ruxolitinib cream achieved continued efficacy through 104 weeks, with a longer duration of treatment being associated with greater levels of repigmentation. Incyte also presented additional follow-up data which demonstrated a potential for maintenance of repigmentation after discontinuation of therapy (following two years of treatment with ruxolitinib cream). The two Phase 3 trials in the TRuE-V program are ongoing with results expected in Q2’21.

INCB54707: In March, Incyte initiated a Phase 2 trial evaluating INCB54707 in vitiligo. A Phase 2 trial in hidradenitis suppurativa remains ongoing.

Baricitinib: In April, Incyte and Lilly announced the FDA extended the review period for the sNDA for baricitinib for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis by three months to allow time for additional data analyses. The PDUFA action date is now expected in early Q3.

In March, Incyte and Lilly announced positive results from BRAVE-AA2 evaluating the efficacy and safety of once-daily baricitinib 2-mg and 4-mg in adults with severe alopecia areata (AA), an autoimmune disorder that can cause unpredictable hair loss on the scalp, face and other areas of the body. In April, positive results from a second Phase 3 study, BRAVE-AA1, were announced, with data consistent with the findings from BRAVE-AA2. Lilly plans to submit an sNDA to the FDA for baricitinib in AA in the second half of 2021. There are currently no FDA-approved therapies for AA, highlighting the potential for baricitinib to address a significant unmet medical need.

Potential therapies for patients with COVID-19

Ruxolitinib: In March, Incyte announced results from the Phase 3 DEVENT study assessing ruxolitinib plus standard of care (SoC) versus SoC in patients on mechanical ventilation with COVID-19 associated Acute Respiratory Disease Syndrome (ARDS). While results indicate a trend towards improvement in mortality in the overall study population, statistical significance was not reached in the primary endpoint (mortality due to any cause through Day 29). In the U.S. study population (91% of total study participants), however, there was a clinically and statistically significant improvement in mortality in each of the 5mg and 15mg ruxolitinib arms versus placebo.

Baricitinib: In April, Incyte and Lilly announced the primary endpoint in the Phase 3 COV-BARRIER study evaluating baricitinib in hospitalized COVID-19 patients - difference in the proportion of participants progressing to the first occurrence of non-invasive ventilation including high flow oxygen or invasive mechanical ventilation including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or death by Day 28) - was not met. There was, however, a 38% reduction in mortality by Day 28 in patients treated with baricitinib in addition to SoC. Lilly will share these data with regulatory authorities in the U.S., European Union and other geographies to evaluate next steps.
