Recent Clinical Highlights
Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) - a JAK1 and JAK2 Inhibitor
RESPONSE, a Phase III study being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) in collaboration with
RELIEF is an ongoing Phase III trial measuring disease-related symptoms in patients with PV. Once completed, the trial results, if positive, are expected to be submitted to support labeling claims regarding the symptomatic benefit of ruxolitinib in PV. Data are expected in mid-2014.
An overall survival analysis of top-line results of the Phase II proof-of-concept trial (RECAP) of ruxolitinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with refractory metastatic pancreatic cancer demonstrated a hazard ratio of 0.79 and a pre-specified subgroup analysis achieved a significant benefit with a hazard ratio of 0.47. The results of the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial are expected to be used to support a pivotal registration program in metastatic pancreatic cancer as well as several Phase II trials in other solid tumors. Full results of the RECAP trial are expected to be presented at a future scientific meeting.
A Phase I trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ruxolitinib in combination with gemcitabine with or without nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors is ongoing.
Multiple investigator-sponsored trials are ongoing to evaluate ruxolitinib in oncologic indications, including advanced hematologic malignancies, relapsed or refractory acute leukemia, lymphoma and breast cancer.
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
A Phase II trial in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis is also ongoing, with results anticipated in 2014. The results from an ongoing Phase II trial in patients with diabetic nephropathy are expected in 2015.
INCB39110 – a JAK1 Inhibitor
Results of a 28-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase II proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluating INCB39110 in 50 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis were presented at the 2013
Results of a 12-week, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation Phase II proof-of-concept clinical trial evaluating INCB39110 in 60 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis were presented at the 2013
Data from the Phase II proof-of-concept trial evaluating INCB39110 in patients with myelofibrosis are expected to be presented at the 2013
A Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of INCB39110 in combination with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors was initiated in July.
INCB47986 – a JAK1 Inhibitor
A second JAK1 inhibitor, INCB47986, is currently being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced malignancies.
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.
An investigator-sponsored trial is underway to evaluate INCB24360 in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and a cooperative group study is underway to evaluate the IDO1 inhibitor in combination with vaccine therapy in patients with melanoma.
INCB40093 – a PI3K-delta Inhibitor
INCB40093 has completed single- and multi-dose Phase I studies in healthy volunteers and is currently in a Phase I dose-escalation trial in patients with B-lymphoid malignancies.
INC280 – a c-MET Inhibitor
Under the Incyte-Novartis Collaboration and License Agreement, further development of this compound is being conducted by
