Pipeline Developments
Incyte’s presentation highlighted significant progress in its research and development pipeline, with multiple potential product launches expected by 2030 across three therapeutic areas: Dermatology/IAI, MPN/GVHD, and Oncology.
A key pipeline highlight was mutCALR (INCA033989), which showed promising results in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). The data presented at EHA 2025 demonstrated rapid and durable normalization of platelets, with only 1 out of 49 patients discontinuing therapy. The company plans to initiate a registrational trial in ET by early 2026 and will present data in patients with myelofibrosis in late 2025.
The key findings from the mutCALR study are summarized below:
Another significant pipeline advancement was the positive Phase 3 results for Ruxolitinib Cream in moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) from the TRUE-AD4 study. The study met both co-primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints, with a consistent safety profile and no new safety signals observed.
Povorcitinib, another promising pipeline candidate, is positioned for near-term growth with Phase 3 studies ongoing in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), vitiligo, and prurigo nodularis (PN). The company plans to submit an NDA for HS in early 2026, with Phase 3 data for vitiligo and PN expected in 2026.
