"Our double-digit revenue growth during the quarter was driven by sustained performance of Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) and an increasing contribution from Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) with continued strong patient demand and enhanced payer coverage," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. "We made significant progress with our early programs in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including mCALR and JAK2V617F, which have the potential to be disease modifying therapies that represent a fundamentally new approach to the way patients with MPNs are treated. Additionally, we recently received positive top line results from the Phase 2 study of povorcitinib in prurigo nodularis (PN) and plans are underway to initiate a Phase 3 study in 2024. With approximately 100,000 treated PN patients in the U.S., povorcitinib has the potential to be an efficacious therapy for those patients who currently have limited treatment options.” Key Company Updates In September, Incyte was notified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that ruxolitinib phosphate qualified for the Small Biotech Exception. Beginning January 1, 2024, Opzelura will be listed as a Preferred Brand on the CVS Caremark and Aetna formularies impacting roughly 30 million commercial lives in the U.S. Key Product Sales Performance Jakafi: Net product revenues for the quarter of $636 million: Net product revenues grew 3% compared with the third quarter of 2022. Channel inventory at the end of the third quarter of 2023 decreased by approximately $14 million versus the second quarter of 2023. Underlying demand in the third quarter of 2023 continued to grow both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter. Opzelura: Net product revenues for the quarter of $92 million: Net product revenues of $92 million grew 141% compared with the third quarter of 2022, driven by growth in patient demand, refills and expansion in payer coverage as the launch in AD and vitiligo continues.

Management believes that Non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Incyte’s GAAP disclosures. Management uses such information internally and externally for establishing budgets, operating goals and financial planning purposes. These metrics are also used to manage the Company’s business and monitor performance. The Company adjusts, where appropriate, for expenses in order to reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company believes these adjustments are useful to investors by providing an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core operations. The metrics have been adopted to align the Company with disclosures provided by industry peers. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used in conjunction with and to supplement Incyte’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in our industry. As changes in exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, Management believes the presentation of certain revenue results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current year results using prior year foreign currency exchange rates and generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Product and Royalty Revenues Product revenues and product and royalty revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 increased 10% and 11%, respectively, over the prior year comparative period, primarily driven by increases in Jakafi and Opzelura net product revenues. The increase in Jakafi net product revenues was primarily driven by growth in patient demand and was partially offset by a decrease in inventory. Total Opzelura net product revenues for the quarter were $92 million, representing a 141% increase year-over-year driven by increased patient demand and expanded coverage. Jakavi royalties for the quarter were impacted by favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates and Olumiant royalties for the quarter were impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In the third quarter of 2022, Olumiant royalties were impacted by a one-time deduction related to securing intellectual property rights.

- Longer-term use of povorcitinib resulted in further improvement in total body and facial repigmentation - Results were presented in a late-breaking news session at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2023 WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced new 52-week data from a Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of povorcitinib (INCB54707), an investigational oral JAK1 inhibitor, in adult patients with extensive nonsegmental vitiligo. Results showed that treatment with oral povorcitinib was associated with substantial total body and facial repigmentation across all treatment groups at Week 52. These data were presented today in a late-breaking oral presentation (Abstract #6749 Session: D1T01.1A – Late-Breaking News) at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2023, held from October 11-14 in Berlin. Specifically, these results, which build on the previously announced data, showed: Mean percentage total body depigmentation improvement from baseline as measured by the Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 52 for povorcitinib 15-to-75 mg, 45 mg, 75 mg and placebo-to-75 mg were 40.7%, 42.7%, 41.3% and 18.1%, respectively. Mean percentage facial depigmentation improvement from baseline as measured by the facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) at Week 52 for povorcitinib 15-to-75 mg, 45 mg, 75 mg and placebo-to-75 mg were 63.6%, 63.8%, 64.4% and 54.8%, respectively. “These 52-week results further support earlier data and reinforce the efficacy pro potential of povorcitinib as an oral treatment for patients with extensive nonsegmental vitiligo,” said Kurt Brown, M.D., Vice President and Povorcitinib Global Program Head, Incyte. “At Incyte, we are deeply committed to addressing unmet needs in the vitiligo community and understanding how this disease can affect patients’ lives. Today’s data highlight exciting progress as we work to bring new potential treatment options to patients living with this immune-mediated skin condition.” Key secondary endpoint findings include: More on-treatment patients achieved ≥50% reduction from baseline in T-VASI (T-VASI50) at Week 52 compared to initial findings at Week 24 (povorcitinib 15-to-75 mg arm, 45.2%; 45 mg arm, 37.0%; 75 mg arm, 37.9%; placebo-to-75 mg arm, 15.2%). More on-treatment patients achieved ≥50% and >75% reduction from baseline in F-VASI (F-VASI50 and F-VASI75, respectively) at Week 52 compared to initial findings at Week 24 (povorcitinib 15-to-75 mg arm, 71.0% and 48.4%; 45 mg arm, 77.8% and 55.6%; 75 mg arm, 69.0% and 58.6%; placebo-to-75 mg arm, 63.6% and 45.5%, respectively). Povorcitinib was well tolerated at all doses. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) of any grade occurred in 89.2% of 83 patients who received 45 mg or 75 mg doses throughout the study period; the most common were COVID-19 (36.1%), blood creatine phosphokinase increased (13.3%), acne (12.0%), fatigue (10.8%) and headache (9.6%). Among the 32 patients who completed the follow-up period through Week 76, total body and facial repigmentation was maintained, which suggests durability of response following treatment discontinuation. Sample size during post-treatment was small, limiting interpretation, and findings need to be confirmed in a larger population. “Vitiligo often has a significant impact on patients’ lives, and there is a need for new treatment options that can offer solutions to people with extensive disease who desire repigmentation,” said Khaled Ezzedine, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Department of Dermatology, Henri Mondor Hospital and EpiDermE, Université Paris. “Today’s results provide an encouraging update in support of a potential oral option to treat extensive nonsegmental vitiligo. It is exciting to see continued progress in this space that, until recently, had limited options for patients.” Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of skin that results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. Overactivity of the JAK signaling pathway is believed to drive inflammation involved in the pathogenesis and progression of vitiligo. In the United States, more than 1.5 million people are diagnosed with vitiligo1. The overall prevalence of the condition is estimated to be approximately 2-3 million2, with the majority of patients (approximately 85%) suffering from nonsegmental vitiligo3. Vitiligo can occur at any age, although many patients with vitiligo will experience initial onset before the age of 304. More information regarding the EADV Congress 2023 can be found at . About the Phase 2b Study (NCT04818346) The Phase 2b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study evaluated the efficacy and safety of povorcitinib (formerly INCB54707) in adult patients with extensive nonsegmental vitiligo. The study enrolled 171 patients (age 18 to 75 years) diagnosed with nonsegmental vitiligo affecting ≥8% of their body surface area and randomized them 1:1:1:1 to receive once-daily (QD) povorcitinib 15 mg (n=43), 45 mg (n=41), 75 mg (n=42), or placebo (n=42) for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled period. Of the 171 randomized patients, 168 patients were treated as part of the 24-week placebo-controlled period. During the 28-week extension period (n=138), patients originally randomized to receive povorcitinib 45 mg QD continued with the same dose (n=32). Patients originally randomized to receive povorcitinib 15 mg QD, 75 mg QD or placebo each received 75 mg povorcitinib QD for the duration of the 28-week extension period (n=37, 34 and 35, respectively). Following the extension period was a 24-week follow-up period. The primary endpoint was the percentage change from baseline in total body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 24. The key secondary endpoint was the percentage of patients achieving ≥50% reduction from baseline in the T-VASI (T-VASI50) at Week 24. Additional endpoints included the percentage of patients achieving ≥50% reduction from baseline in facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI; F-VASI50), ≥75% reduction from baseline in F-VASI (F-VASI75) and T-VASI50 at each visit. Safety of povorcitinib was assessed by the frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). For more information about this Phase 2b study, please visit .

- Patients who initially experienced limited or no facial or total body repigmentation at six months achieved improved repigmentation after continued treatment with Opzelura for up to two years - Results were presented in a late-breaking news session at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2023 WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced new results of a pooled analysis of long-term extension (LTE) data from the pivotal Phase 3 TRuE-V program assessing Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) cream 1.5% in patients 12 years of age and older with nonsegmental vitiligo who previously experienced limited or no response to treatment at Week 24. These data were presented today in a late-breaking oral presentation (Abstract #6479; Session: D1T01.1I: Late Breaking News) at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress 2023, held from October 11-14 in Berlin. “We are excited by the TRuE-V LTE study data presented today during a late-breaking session at EADV. These long-term data highlight encouraging updates for an important sub-group of patients with nonsegmental vitiligo, those who initially showed limited or no response to treatment,” said Jim Lee, M.D., Ph.D., Group Vice President, Inflammation & AutoImmunity, Incyte. “The pooled analysis builds on the positive LTE data previously presented at the 2023 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting earlier this year and underscores the long-term potential of this treatment for people with vitiligo who are seeking repigmentation.” The analysis assessed participants initially randomized to apply Opzelura twice-daily (BID) from the TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2 studies who had <25% improvement from baseline in facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) or total body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 24 and had non-missing VASI assessments at the evaluated time points. Key findings from the pooled analysis include: More than half of patients (54.9%) who initially experienced limited or no facial repigmentation at Week 24 achieved ≥75% improvement in facial repigmentation from baseline (F-VASI75) with continued treatment with Opzelura at Week 104. For patients with no initial facial repigmentation at Week 24, improvements in F-VASI were observed in 77.8% (49/63) and 97.1% (34/35) of patients at Weeks 52 and 104, respectively. For patients with limited facial repigmentation at Week 24, F-VASI improvements were observed in 64.0% (32/50) and 83.3% (30/36) of patients at Weeks 52 and 104, respectively. Half of the patients (50.0%) who initially experienced limited or no body repigmentation at Week 24 achieved ≥50% improvement in body repigmentation from baseline (T-VASI50) with continued treatment with Opzelura at Week 104. Among patients with no body repigmentation at Week 24, T-VASI improvements were observed in 79.6% (39/49) and 93.3% (28/30) of patients at Weeks 52 and 104, respectively. Among patients with limited body repigmentation at Week 24, T-VASI improvements were observed in 64.5% (80/124) and 81.6% (62/76) of patients at Weeks 52 and 104, respectively. Opzelura was well-tolerated – no serious treatment-related adverse events (TEAEs) occurred among patients using Opzelura from Day 1; 6.3% (n=14/224) of these patients experienced ≥1 treatment-related TEAE. Application site pruritus was the only TEAE that occurred in >1 patient (n=2; 0.9%). Opzelura is indicated for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. Use of Opzelura in combination with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or potent immunosuppressants such as azathioprine or cyclosporine is not recommended. “With this analysis, we were able to more closely examine the impact of continued treatment with Opzelura in patients who showed limited to no improvements in facial or total body repigmentation following an initial six-month course of treatment,” said Dr. Albert Wolkerstorfer, Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders, Department of Dermatology, University of Amsterdam. “These data highlight the importance of continuing treatment with Opzelura in patients with vitiligo, even when minimal or no repigmentation is achieved after six months of treatment.“ Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of skin that results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. Overactivity of the JAK signaling pathway is believed to drive inflammation involved in the pathogenesis and progression of vitiligo. In the United States, more than 1.5 million people are diagnosed with vitiligo1. The overall prevalence of the condition is estimated to be approximately 2-3 million2, with the majority of patients (approximately 85%) suffering from nonsegmental vitiligo3. Vitiligo can occur at any age, although many patients with vitiligo will experience initial onset before the age of 304. More information regarding the EADV Congress 2023 can be found at . About TRuE-V The TRuE-V clinical trial program includes two Phase 3 studies, TRuE-V1 (NCT04052425) and TRuE-V2 (NCT04057573), evaluating the safety and efficacy of Opzelura in patients with vitiligo. Each study enrolled approximately 300 patients (age ≥12 years) who have been diagnosed with nonsegmental vitiligo. About Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) Cream 1.5% Opzelura, 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. In Europe, Opzelura (ruxolitinib) cream 15mg/g is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age. Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib cream, marketed in the United States as Opzelura. Opzelura is a registered trademark of Incyte. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION SERIOUS INFECTIONS Patients treated with oral Janus kinase inhibitors for inflammatory conditions are at risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Reported infections include: Active tuberculosis, which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Invasive fungal infections, including cryptococcosis and pneumocystosis. Bacterial, viral, including herpes zoster, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens. Avoid use of OPZELURA in patients with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. If a serious infection develops, interrupt OPZELURA until the infection is controlled. Carefully consider the benefits and risks of treatment prior to initiating OPZELURA in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with OPZELURA. Serious lower respiratory tract infections were reported in the clinical development program with topical ruxolitinib. No cases of active tuberculosis (TB) were reported in clinical trials with OPZELURA. Cases of active TB were reported in clinical trials of oral Janus kinase inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Consider evaluating patients for latent and active TB infection prior to administration of OPZELURA. During OPZELURA use, monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of TB. Viral reactivation, including cases of herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster), were reported in clinical trials with Janus kinase inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions including OPZELURA. If a patient develops herpes zoster, consider interrupting OPZELURA treatment until the episode resolves. Hepatitis B viral load (HBV-DNA titer) increases, with or without associated elevations in alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, have been reported in patients with chronic HBV infections taking oral ruxolitinib. OPZELURA initiation is not recommended in patients with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C. MORTALITY In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor comparing an oral JAK inhibitor to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker treatment, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed with the JAK inhibitor. Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA. MALIGNANCIES Malignancies were reported in patients treated with OPZELURA. Lymphoma and other malignancies have been observed in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. In RA patients treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)) was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA, particularly in patients with a known malignancy (other than successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancers), patients who develop a malignancy when on treatment, and patients who are current or past smokers. Non-melanoma skin cancers, including basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, have occurred in patients treated with OPZELURA. Perform periodic skin examinations during OPZELURA treatment and following treatment as appropriate. Exposure to sunlight and UV light should be limited by wearing protective clothing and using broad-spectrum sunscreen. MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS (MACE) In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke), was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. Discontinue OPZELURA in patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke. Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with OPZELURA, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers and patients with other cardiovascular risk factors. Patients should be informed about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur. Discontinue OPZELURA in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke. THROMBOSIS Thromboembolic events were observed in trials with OPZELURA. Thrombosis, including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and arterial thrombosis have been reported in patients receiving JAK inhibitors used to treat inflammatory conditions. Many of these adverse reactions were serious and some resulted in death. In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with an oral JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of thrombosis was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Avoid OPZELURA in patients at risk. If symptoms of thrombosis occur, discontinue OPZELURA and treat appropriately. Thrombocytopenia, Anemia, and Neutropenia Thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia were reported in the clinical trials with OPZELURA. Consider the benefits and risks for individual patients who have a known history of these events prior to initiating therapy with OPZELURA. Perform CBC monitoring as clinically indicated. If signs and/or symptoms of clinically significant thrombocytopenia, anemia, and neutropenia occur, patients should discontinue OPZELURA. Lipid Elevations Treatment with oral ruxolitinib has been associated with increases in lipid parameters including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides. Adverse Reactions In nonsegmental vitiligo, the most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥1%) are application site acne (6%), application site pruritus (5%), nasopharyngitis (4%), headache (4%), urinary tract infection (2%), application site erythema (2%), and pyrexia (1%). Pregnancy There is a pregnancy registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in pregnant persons exposed to OPZELURA during pregnancy. Pregnant persons exposed to OPZELURA and healthcare providers should report OPZELURA exposure by calling 1-855-463-3463. Lactation Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with OPZELURA and for approximately four weeks after the last dose (approximately 5-6 elimination half-lives). Please see Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, and Medication Guide for OPZELURA.
