Incyte to Present New Data Highlighting Progress Across its Hematology Portfolio at ASH 2026
New data in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) will include INCA033989, Incyte’s first-in-class, mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-targeted monoclonal antibody, in first-line myelofibrosis (MF); and preclinical findings for Incyte’s next-generation mutCALR- and JAK2V617F-targeted compounds
Updated results for INCA033989 in second-line MF and second-line essential thrombocythemia (ET) will build on previously presented datasets
Long-term Phase 1/2 data further characterize the potential of latarcibart (VGA039), an investigational Protein S-targeting antibody, as prophylaxis in adolescents and adults with von Willebrand disease (VWD)
More than 30 abstracts will highlight progress across Incyte’s broader hematology portfolio
“Our ASH presentations demonstrate meaningful progress across our Hematology portfolio to advance novel treatment approaches for people with serious hematologic conditions,” said
Details on key data presentations at ASH include:

About Latarcibart (VGA039)
Latarcibart (VGA039) is an investigational monoclonal antibody therapy with a novel mechanism of action that targets Protein S, with dual actions promoting platelet attachment and enhancing fibrin deposition to restore hemostasis. Latarcibart has the potential to be a universal prophylactic therapy for numerous bleeding disorders, starting with all types of von Willebrand disease (VWD) and bleeding sites. As a subcutaneously self-administered investigational antibody therapy with a once monthly dosing regimen, latarcibart has the potential to improve bleeding outcomes, convenience, and quality of life for patients.
Latarcibart has received Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track, orphan drug and rare pediatric disease designations from the
