Multiple Abstracts from Incyte’s Growing Dermatology Portfolio Featured at American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that multiple abstracts featuring data from its dermatology portfolio will be presented at the upcoming 2023 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, held March 17-21, 2023, in New Orleans.

New data from the Phase 3 TRuE-V clinical trial program evaluating the durability and long-term response (up to 104 weeks) of Opzelura^® (ruxolitinib) cream in patients (age ≥12 years) with vitiligo will be presented in two late-breaking oral presentations, building on the previously announced positive 24- and 52-week results from the TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2 studies. Additionally, safety and efficacy data from a Phase 2b study of povorcitinib, an investigational oral small-molecule JAK1 inhibitor, in patients with vitiligo will be presented as an oral presentation during a late-breaking abstract session.

“The research being featured at this year’s AAD Annual Meeting highlights the potential of Incyte therapies to meet the needs of patients living with vitiligo and other serious skin conditions,” said Jim Lee, M.D., Ph.D., Group Vice President, Inflammation & Autoimmunity, Incyte. “Collectively, these data are representative of our science-first approach and the continued progress of our portfolio as we seek to discover and develop innovative dermatology treatments for patients.”

About Opzelura^® (ruxolitinib) Cream

Opzelura^® (ruxolitinib) cream, a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older, is the first and only treatment for repigmentation approved for use in the United States. Opzelura is also approved in the U.S. for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. Use of Opzelura in combination with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or potent immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine or cyclosporine, is not recommended.

Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib cream, marketed in the United States as Opzelura. In April 2022, Incyte entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Maruho Co., Ltd. for the development, manufacturing and exclusive commercialization of ruxolitinib cream for treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory dermatology indications in Japan.
