WILMINGTON, Del.--()--Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) today reports 2020 third quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s development portfolio.

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter for Incyte, with continued strength across all Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) indications, good momentum behind the U.S. launches of both Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) and Pemazyre® (pemigatinib), as well as increasing royalty contributions from our partnered medicines globally,” stated Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “In addition, we have now established Incyte Dermatology as a new franchise for Incyte in the U.S., and we are on track to submit the NDA for ruxolitinib cream at the end of this year which, by using our priority review voucher, could lead to an FDA decision in the middle of next year.”

Portfolio Update

LIMBER – key highlights

Two pivotal trials are being initiated to evaluate the combination of ruxolitinib and parsaclisib as both first-line therapy for myelofibrosis (MF) patients and in MF patients with an inadequate response to ruxolitinib monotherapy.

The Phase 2 monotherapy trial of INCB57643 (BET) in patients with refractory myelofibrosis are now recruiting and the Phase 2 monotherapy trial of INCB00928 (ALK2) in patients with myelofibrosis is being opened. Both programs are expected to proceed to ruxolitinib combination trials upon completion of monotherapy cohorts.

Oncology beyond MPNs – key highlights

In August, Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) in combination with lenalidomide was included in the latest National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for B-cell Lymphomas with a Category 2A designation as an option for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

The European Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for tafasitamab as a treatment for patients with r/r DLBCL is under review. Incyte has exclusive development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab outside of the U.S.

Incyte and MorphoSys plan to further broaden the development program of tafasitamab in other B-cell malignancies. Multiple trials are in preparation, including Phase 3 trials in both first line DLBCL and relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma, as well as a proof-of-concept trial of tafasitamab plus parsaclisib (PI3Kδ).

In September, initial results from the Phase 2 POD1UM-202 trial of retifanlimab in previously treated patients with advanced squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC) who have progressed following standard platinum-based chemotherapy were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) annual meeting. The Phase 3 POD1UM-303 trial of retifanlimab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with SCAC is open for recruitment.

Given the rapidly evolving treatment landscape for bladder cancer and recent regulatory feedback, Incyte is reevaluating its development strategy for pemigatinib in bladder cancer. As part of that reevaluation, new patient recruitment into FIGHT-205, which is assessing pemigatinib in cisplatin-ineligible bladder cancer patients whose tumors express FGFR3 mutation or rearrangement, has been stopped, and Incyte no longer intends to use data from FIGHT-201 to seek accelerated approval for pemigatinib in patients with previously treated bladder cancer whose tumors express FGFR3 mutation or rearrangement.

Dermatology

Incyte Dermatology has been established as a new franchise for Incyte in the U.S., which will include dedicated teams for the development and commercialization of Incyte’s dermatology portfolio.

The NDA for ruxolitinib cream in atopic dermatitis is on track for submission at the end of 2020. Incyte has acquired a priority review voucher, which it intends to use to accelerate the timeline to FDA decision.

Pooled results from the TRuE-AD studies were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress. Ruxolitinib cream demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in patient-reported quality of life assessments, such as the PROMIS (patient-reported outcomes measurement information system) sleep disturbance (8b) score, as well as substantial and sustained itch reduction, reinforcing its potential as an important treatment option for atopic dermatitis patients.

The two randomized Phase 3 trials in the TRuE-V pivotal program evaluating ruxolitinib cream in patients with vitiligo are fully recruited, with results expected in 2021.

Other IAI

Initial clinical results from INCB54707, a JAK1 selective inhibitor, were presented in October. INCB54707 demonstrated preliminary efficacy, improved quality of life (QoL) including a reduction in skin pain and a tolerable safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). A Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating INCB54707 in HS is ongoing.

1. Non-GAAP cost of product revenues excludes the amortization of licensed intellectual property for Iclusig relating to the acquisition of the European business of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the cost of stock-based compensation.
2. Non-GAAP research and development expenses exclude the cost of stock-based compensation.
3. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses exclude the cost of stock-based compensation.
4. Non-GAAP change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is null.

Research and development expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased 56% and 63%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to $120 million of expense related to the purchase of an FDA priority review voucher from a third party, which we intend to use to accelerate the FDA review of ruxolitinib cream for the treatment of atopic dermatitis and an increase in milestone expenses related to our collaborative agreements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense increased 115% and 128%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to upfront consideration of $805 million related to our collaborative agreement with MorphoSys and expense related to the purchase of the FDA priority review voucher.

Selling, general and administrative expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased 18% and 5%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2019, primarily due to increased headcount and activities supporting the commercialization of our products and the timing of certain expenses.

Other Financial Information

Operating income (loss) GAAP and Non-GAAP operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to $120 million of expense related to the purchase of the FDA priority review voucher and milestone expenses related to our collaborative agreements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded an operating loss compared to operating income for the same period in 2019, on both a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis, primarily due to upfront consideration related to our collaboration with MorphoSys and expense related to the FDA priority review voucher, partially offset by the growth in product and royalty revenues.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. The decrease is primarily driven by the upfront payment and stock purchase related to our collaborative agreement with MorphoSys and purchase of the FDA priority review voucher and is partially offset by the cash flow generated during this nine-month period.

2020 Financial Guidance

Incyte has tightened its full year 2020 guidance for Jakafi net product revenues, as detailed below. The company’s full year 2020 financial guidance is summarized in the following table. The R&D expense guidance excludes $805 million of upfront consideration paid under the MorphoSys collaboration and $120 million of expense related to the purchase of the FDA priority review voucher (PRV).

About Iclusig® (ponatinib) tablets

Iclusig targets not only native BCR-ABL but also its isoforms that carry mutations that confer resistance to treatment, including the T315I mutation, which has been associated with resistance to other approved TKIs.

In the EU, Iclusig is approved for the treatment of adult patients with chronic phase, accelerated phase or blast phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are resistant to dasatinib or nilotinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib or nilotinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation, or the treatment of adult patients with Philadelphia-chromosome positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) who are resistant to dasatinib; who are intolerant to dasatinib and for whom subsequent treatment with imatinib is not clinically appropriate; or who have the T315I mutation.

Incyte has an exclusive license from ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc., since acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, to develop and commercialize Iclusig in the European Union and 22 other countries, including Switzerland, Norway, Turkey, Israel and Russia.
