Incyte (NASDAQ:
INCY) perks up
2% premarket on light volume on the heels of its
announcement of positive results from a second Phase 3 clinical trial,
TRuE-AD1, evaluating ruxolitinib cream 0.75% or 1.5% in patients at least 12 years old with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis (AD).
The study met the primary endpoint of a statistically significant proportion of treated patients achieving clear or almost clear skin at week 8 compared to vehicle (placebo).
Marketing applications should be the next step.
