Recent Clinical Highlights
Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) – JAK1 and JAK2 Inhibitor
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
In
In
In
Solid Tumors
The pivotal Phase III JANUS 1 and JANUS 2 studies of ruxolitinib in second line metastatic pancreatic cancer are underway, and the Company expects data from both studies in 2016. Results from three Phase II trials of ruxolitinib, being conducted in colorectal, breast and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, are also expected during 2016.
Each of these trials uses the same approach to patient selection, which is based on the presence of onco-inflammation as assessed by elevated systemic C-reactive protein (CRP).
INCB39110 & INCB52793 – JAK1-Selective Inhibitors
INCB39110 is in two Phase II lung cancer trials, one in combination with docetaxel and the other in combination with erlotinib, and the Company plans to begin a first line pancreatic cancer study in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in the second half of 2015. INCB39110 is also being studied in combination with the Company’s PI3Kδ inhibitor INCB40093 in B-cell malignancies, initial results of which are expected in the first half of 2015.
INCB52793 is now in a Phase I/II dose-escalation trial in liquid tumors, and the Company has plans to initiate both mono- and combination-therapy trials, potentially in multiple myeloma.
epacadostat (INCB24360) – IDO1 Inhibitor
The trials under the four clinical trial agreements to evaluate epacadostat in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors are now in progress. The trials are evaluating epacadostat in combination with Merck & Co’s PD-1 inhibitor Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), AstraZeneca’s investigational PD-L1 inhibitor, MEDI4736, Bristol-Myers Squibb’s PD-1 inhibitor, Opdivo® (nivolumab), and Genentech’s investigational PD-L1 inhibitor, MPDL3280A. Tumor types under investigation include NSCLC, melanoma, head and neck, colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer, as well as lymphoma.
In
INCB50465 & INCB40093 – PI3Kδ Inhibitors
INCB50465, a highly potent PI3Kδ inhibitor, has now entered Phase I/II development, and INCB40093 is advancing in both monotherapy and combination proof-of-concept trials. The combination of INCB40093 and the JAK1-selective inhibitor INCB39110 is being tested in a Phase I/II trial in B-cell malignancies, and data from this study is expected in the first half of 2015.
INCB54828 – FGFR Inhibitor
The FGFR family of receptor tyrosine kinases can act as oncogenic drivers in a number of liquid and solid tumor types, most notably squamous NSCLC, gastric and bladder cancer, and glioblastoma. The Company plans to advance its selective FGFR inhibitor INCB54828 into clinical development in the first half of 2015.
INCB54329 – BRD Inhibitor
Bromodomains (BRDs) are a family of proteins which play important roles in mediating gene transcription, most notably by facilitating the expression of oncogenes such as MYC, one of the most frequently dysregulated oncogenes in all human cancer. The Company plans to begin clinical trials of INCB54329, its BRD inhibitor, in the first half of 2015.
baricitinib – JAK1 and JAK2 Inhibitor
In
capmatinib (INC280) – c-MET Inhibitor
Capmatinib may have potential for use in both mono- and combination therapy regimens, including the recently announced clinical collaboration between
