Incyte Announces More than 50 Abstracts Accepted for Presentation at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting

INCA033989, a first-in-class mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-targeted monoclonal antibody, will be showcased in three presentations, including new Phase 1 monotherapy and combination data in myelofibrosis (MF), updated data in essential thrombocythemia (ET) and translational data demonstrating disease modifying activity in both ET and MF. Additionally, the more than 50 abstracts accepted at ASH include new and updated data from Incyte’s MPN, GVHD and hematology programs including interim safety data evaluating axatilimab (Niktimvo™) in combination with ruxolitinib in GVHD Incyte to host an investor event and webcast highlighting the mutCALR data from the oral presentation at ASH on Sunday, December 7, 2025, from 11:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that data from key programs in its oncology portfolio will be presented in both oral and poster sessions at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, to be held December 6 – 9, 2025, in Orlando.

"This year’s Incyte presentations highlight the potential of our portfolio to transform the treatment of blood cancers, specifically for patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs),” said Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D., President and Head of Research and Development, Incyte. "New data for our first-in-class mutCALR-targeted monoclonal antibody, INCA033989, as a monotherapy in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) who are intolerant or refractory to ruxolitinib, and in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with MF who experience a suboptimal response to ruxolitinib monotherapy will be highlighted as an oral presentation. Updated data for INCA033989 in essential thrombocythemia (ET) will also be presented. Additionally, we look forward to sharing the results from axatilimab in graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and tafasitamab in follicular lymphoma (FL) – all of which showcase the progress and promise of our oncology portfolio."

About Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a closely related group of blood cancers in which the bone marrow functions abnormally. The bone marrow is where the body’s blood cells are made. MPNs are progressive blood cancers that can strike anyone at any age, but they are more common in older adults. Estimates of the prevalence of MPNs vary, but analysis of claims data suggests there may be as many as 200,000 people in the U.S. living with the most prevalent MPNs: myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera or essential thrombocythemia (ET).¹

About Mutations in Calreticulin (mutCALR)
Calreticulin (CALR) is a protein involved in the regulation of cellular calcium levels and normal protein folding. Somatic, or non-inherited, DNA mutations in the CALR gene (mutCALR) can result in abnormal protein function and lead to the development of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs),² a closely related group of clonal blood cancers in which the bone marrow functions abnormally, overproducing blood cells.^3,4 Among two types of MPNs, essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF), mutCALR drives 25-35% of all cases.^2,3 There are approximately 60,000 patients in the U.S. and Europe with mutCALR positive ET.⁵

Incyte is at the forefront of developing novel therapies for patients with mutCALR ET or MF that target only malignant cells, sparing normal cells, including INCA033989, a first-in-class, mutCALR-specific therapy.

About the INCA033989 Clinical Trial Program
The clinical trial program for INCA033989 includes two multicenter, open-label Phase 1 studies, INCA33989-101 (NCT05936359) and INCA33989-102 (NCT06034002), enrolling ~225 patients outside of the U.S. and ~140 patients in the U.S., respectively. The studies are evaluating the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose(s) for expansion (RDE) of INCA033989 administered as a monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF). The intent of Part 1A (dose escalation) is to identify the MTD and/or the RDE of INCA033989 among patients with MF and ET. In Part 1A INCA033989 is administered intravenously every two weeks at a protocol defined dose ranging from 24 mg. to 2,500 mg. In Part 1B (dose expansion), INCA033989 is administered at the RDE(s) identified during Part 1A.

The primary endpoint of the studies focuses on safety and tolerability as measured by: the number of participants with DLTs up to 28 days, the number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) up to 3 years and 60 days, and the number of participants with TEAEs leading to dose modification or discontinuation up to 3 years and 60 days. Secondary endpoints include response rates, mean change of ET total symptom score from baseline, percentage of MF patients achieving spleen volume reduction, MF patient anemia response, mean change in disease-related allele burden and various pharmacokinetics measures up to 3 years and 60 days.

About Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr)
Niktimvo (axatilimab-csfr) is a first-in-class colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R)-blocking antibody approved for use in the U.S. for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients weighing at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs).

In 2016, Syndax licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize axatilimab from UCB. In September 2021, Syndax and Incyte entered into an exclusive worldwide co-development and co-commercialization license agreement for axatilimab in chronic GVHD and any future indications.

Axatilimab is being studied in frontline combination trials in chronic GVHD – a Phase 2 combination trial with ruxolitinib (NCT06388564) and a Phase 3 combination trial with steroids (NCT06585774) are underway. Axatilimab is also being studied in an ongoing Phase 2 trial in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (NCT06132256).
