Key Highlights
COMFORT – Extending leadership in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)
Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) has transformed the lives of thousands of patients with MPNs since it was launched in the U.S. in 2011. However, there remain certain patients with MPNs that may have an inadequate response to, or are unable to tolerate, Jakafi monotherapy at its currently approved doses. These patients represent an R&D priority for Incyte—clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate combination strategies with Jakafi and
REACH – Jakafi (ruxolitinib, JAK1/JAK2) in steroid-refractory GVHD
As announced earlier today, the REACH1 pivotal trial of ruxolitinib in combination with corticosteroids for the treatment of patients with steroid-refractory acute GVHD met its primary endpoint. Based on these data,
REACH2, the
GRAVITAS –Itacitinib (JAK1) in steroid-naïve GVHD
Itacitinib is being developed for the treatment of patients with treatment-naïve GVHD. The GRAVITAS-301 study in newly-diagnosed acute GVHD is underway, with data expected in 2019. Additionally, a pivotal trial in newly-diagnosed chronic GVHD is being initiated, and a proof-of-concept trial in the prophylactic setting is already recruiting patients.
FIGHT – INCB54828 (FGFR) in cholangiocarcinoma and bladder cancer
Initial data from the FIGHT-202 trial evaluating INCB54828 in patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma are encouraging; showing promising efficacy in patients with FGFR2 translocations.
Additionally, initial data from the FIGHT-201 trial of INCB54828 in patients with advanced bladder cancer with FGFR3 mutations or fusions are also encouraging, and a continuous dosing cohort has been added to this ongoing study.
CITADEL – INCB50465 (PI3Kδ) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (
INCB50465 is being developed as a treatment for different forms of
POD1UM – INCMGA0012 (PD-1) in solid tumors
The POD1UM clinical development program for INCMGA0012 will include combination studies with internal candidates and monotherapy, single-arm, registration-directed studies in Merkel cell carcinoma, anal cancer and microsatellite instability (MSI)-high endometrial cancer, as well as other indications where PD-1 axis blockade is standard of care. Recruitment for these studies is expected to begin later this year, and initial data are expected in 2020.
TRuE-Derm – Topical ruxolitinib (JAK1/JAK2) in dermatology
The recently completed randomized trial of topical ruxolitinib in patients with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis showed a significant benefit over vehicle control; these data have been accepted for oral presentation at the 27th
