Recent Clinical Highlights
Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) - a JAK1 and JAK2 Inhibitor
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Data from multiple presentations at the 2013
RESPONSE, a Phase III study being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) in collaboration with
RELIEF is an ongoing fully enrolled Phase III trial measuring disease-related symptoms in patients with PV. Data are expected in mid-2014.
Solid Tumors
The
Three additional blinded Phase II proof-of-concept trials focusing on survival in non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer studying patients in the subgroup identified in RECAP are also expected to initiate in the first half of 2014.
Baricitinib - a JAK1 and JAK2 Inhibitor
The Phase III clinical program to evaluate baricitinib in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, being conducted by the Company’s collaboration partner Lilly, is ongoing.
Phase II trials in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and patients with diabetic nephropathy are also ongoing, with results anticipated in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
INCB39110 – a JAK1 Inhibitor
The clinical program to evaluate INCB39110 in solid tumors is planned to start with two blinded Phase II trials of INCB39110 in non-small cell lung cancer that are expected to initiate in the first half of 2014. The primary endpoint of both studies will be overall survival.
INCB47986 – a JAK1 Inhibitor
A Phase I clinical trial of a second JAK1 inhibitor, INCB47986, in healthy volunteers has been completed, and a Phase II trial of the compound in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is planned for the first half of 2014.
INCB24360 – an IDO1 Inhibitor
INCB24360 is currently being evaluated in a Phase I/II trial in combination with ipilimumab for metastatic melanoma and in a Phase II trial as monotherapy for ovarian cancer. Based on preclinical data that suggest synergy in combining an IDO1 inhibitor with checkpoint inhibitors for improved anti-tumor response, the Company has established a clinical trial collaboration to evaluate the combination of INCB24360 and Merck’s investigational anti-PD-1 immunotherapy, MK-3475, in a Phase I/II study in previously treated metastatic and recurrent non-small cell lung cancer and other advanced or metastatic cancers. The study is expected to initiate in the first half of 2014. The Company is also working to establish additional clinical collaborations with other companies, cancer networks and academia.
INCB40093 – a PI3K-delta Inhibitor
INCB40093 is currently in a Phase I dose-escalation trial in patients with B-lymphoid malignancies. A Phase I study in combination with the Company’s JAK1 inhibitor, INCB39110, in the same patient group was initiated in
INC280 – a c-MET Inhibitor

About
Important Safety Information
Jakafi can cause serious side effects including:
Low blood counts: Jakafi may cause your platelet, red blood cell, or white blood cell counts to be lowered. If you develop bleeding, stop taking Jakafi and call your healthcare provider. Your healthcare provider will perform blood tests to check your blood counts before you start Jakafi and regularly during your treatment. Your healthcare provider may change your dose of Jakafi or stop your treatment based on the results of your blood tests. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you experience unusual bleeding, bruising, fatigue, shortness of breath, or a fever.
Infection: You may be at risk for developing a serious infection while taking Jakafi. Tell your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms such as chills, nausea, vomiting, aches, weakness, fever, or painful skin rash or blisters.
The most common side effects of Jakafi include dizziness and headache.
These are not all the possible side effects of Jakafi. Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information. Tell your healthcare provider about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
Before taking Jakafi, tell your healthcare provider about all the medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking and all your medical conditions, including if you have an infection, have or had liver or kidney problems, are on dialysis, or have any other medical condition. Do not drink grapefruit juice while taking Jakafi.
Women should not take Jakafi while pregnant or planning to become pregnant, or if breast-feeding.

Net loss - as adjusted, and basic and diluted net loss per share - as adjusted (excluding a one-time charge related to the difference between the face amount and carrying value related to the repurchase of 2015 Notes) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered a replacement for GAAP results. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is presented above. The Company believes that presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors by showing the effect of the one-time repurchase of a portion of the outstanding 2015 Notes on our net loss for the three months and twelve months ended
