• Late-breaking oral presentation will highlight new data from a trial of INCA033989, an anti-mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-directed monoclonal antibody, in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET)
• Incyte to host an in-person analyst and investor event highlighting the mutCALR data at EHA on Sunday, June 15, 2025, from 6:00 - 7:30 a.m. EDT (12:00 - 1:30 p.m. CEST)

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 3, 2025-- Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that data from numerous programs in its hematology/oncology portfolio will be presented at the 2025 European Hematology Association (EHA) congress, held June 12 – 15, 2025, in Milan.

"We're looking forward to presenting new data from across our hematology/oncology portfolio at the 2025 EHA Congress, including late-breaking data for our first in class, mutCALR-directed monoclonal antibody, INCA033989,” said Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D., President and Head of Research and Development, Incyte. “We believe the data that will be presented at the late-breaking session demonstrate the impact of the novel mechanism of action of this monoclonal antibody against mutCALR-driven essential thrombocythemia (ET), and support its potential to be a disease modifying agent and thus transform the treatment of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) like essential thrombocythemia (ET)."

About Mutations in Calreticulin (mutCALR)

Calreticulin (CALR) is a protein involved in the regulation of cellular calcium levels and normal protein production. Somatic, or non-inherited, DNA mutations in the CALR gene (mutCALR) can result in abnormal protein function and lead to the development of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs),¹ a closely related group of clonal blood cancers in which the bone marrow functions abnormally, overproducing blood cells.^2,3 Among two types of MPNs, essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF), mutCALR drives 25-35% of all cases.^2,3

Incyte is at the forefront of developing novel therapies for patients with mutCALR ET or MF that target only malignant cells, sparing normal cells, including INCA033989, a first-in-class, mutCALR-specific therapy.

About Jakafi^® (ruxolitinib)

Jakafi^® (ruxolitinib) is a JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA for treatment of polycythemia vera (PV) in adults who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea; intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF), including primary MF, post-polycythemia vera MF and post-essential thrombocythemia MF in adults; steroid-refractory acute GVHD in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older; and chronic GVHD after failure of one or two lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older.

About Tafasitamab (Monjuvi^®)

Tafasitamab (Monjuvi^®) is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb^® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) and Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP). MorphoSys and Incyte entered into: (a) in January 2020, a collaboration and licensing agreement to develop and commercialize tafasitamab globally; and (b) in February 2024, an agreement whereby Incyte obtained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab globally.

In the United States, Monjuvi^® (tafasitamab-cxix) received accelerated approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). In Europe, Minjuvi^® (tafasitamab) received conditional Marketing Authorization from the European Medicines Agency in combination with lenalidomide, followed by Minjuvi monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are not eligible for ASCT.

About Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr)

Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) is a first-in-class colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R)-blocking antibody approved for use in the U.S. for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).

In 2016, Syndax licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize axatilimab from UCB. In September 2021, Syndax and Incyte entered into an exclusive worldwide co-development and co-commercialization license agreement for axatilimab in chronic GVHD and any future indications.

Axatilimab is being studied in frontline combination trials in chronic GVHD – a Phase 2 combination trial with ruxolitinib (NCT06388564) and a Phase 3 combination trial with steroids (NCT06585774) are underway. Axatilimab is also being studied in an ongoing Phase 2 trial in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (NCT06132256).
