Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 8:00 a.m. EDT

WILMINGTON, Del. – May 3, 2022 – Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2022 first quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

“Our double-digit growth in the first quarter reflects the strong performance of Jakafi^® (ruxolitinib) – supported by the successful launch in chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in the United States – as well as continued growth for Pemazyre^® (pemigatinib) in Europe and Japan and, importantly, the fast uptake of Opzelura™ (ruxolitinib) cream in atopic dermatitis in the United States,” said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “Opzelura is an important growth driver for Incyte and the U.S. launch is off to an excellent start with over 38,000 patients treated during the first quarter and significant progress with payers on securing access for patients. Later this year we have the potential to launch Opzelura in a second indication in the U.S. and we expect a regulatory decision in Europe for the treatment of patients with vitiligo who currently have no approved therapies for repigmentation. Our strong product growth and robust pipeline position us well for long-term growth and diversification.”

Inflammation and Autoimmunity (IAI) – key highlights

Dermatology

Strong U.S. launch of Opzelura in atopic dermatitis (AD): Over 38,000 new patients were prescribed Opzelura in the first quarter with positive physician and patient feedback driving the robust uptake. Refill rates continue to increase with refills comprising 23% of total prescriptions in the last week of Q1. Substantial progress has been made in securing access to Opzelura for patients, and we now have agreements in place with payers which account for 146 million total lives covered including 82 million commercial lives.

We have established a broad clinical development program within dermatology that includes multiple new indications for ruxolitinib cream, as well as new products.

Ruxolitinib cream in vitiligo in the U.S. and Europe: In March, 52-week safety and efficacy data from the two Phase 3 TRuE-V studies evaluating ruxolitinib cream in vitiligo, presented at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) annual meeting, demonstrated that a longer duration of therapy with ruxolitinib cream was associated with greater repigmentation in patients with vitiligo. A supplemental new drug application (sNDA) and a marketing authorization application (MAA) for ruxolitinib cream as a treatment for vitiligo are under review at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), respectively. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date was extended to July 18, 2022. Ruxolitinib cream has the potential to become the first product approved for repigmentation in vitiligo and would be a new therapeutic option for the millions of patients living with the disease today, pending regulatory decision.

3

A Phase 2 open-label study is being initiated to assess whether repigmentation response in some patients with vitiligo may be enhanced by adding phototherapy to treatment with ruxolitinb cream.

Ruxolitinib cream in chronic hand eczema (CHE): Incyte continues to expand the development of ruxolitinib cream into new indications as part of its life cycle management strategy. Two Phase 3 trials evaluating ruxolitinib cream in chronic hand eczema are being initiated (TRuE-CHE1 and TRuE-CHE2).

INCB54707 (JAK1) development across three indications: We are also assessing INCB54707, our JAK1 specific inhibitor, in Phase 2 studies for hidradenitis suppurativa, prurigo nodularis and vitiligo. There is significant potential with each of these indications where there are limited, and in some cases, no FDA-approved therapies.

	Indication and status
ruxolitinib cream1(JAK1/JAK2)	AD: Phase 3 pediatric study (TRuE-AD3)Vitiligo: Phase 3 (TRuE-V1, TRuE-V2, primary endpoint met in both studies); sNDA and MAA under review CHE: Phase 3 (TRuE-CHE1 and TRuE-CHE2) being initiated

¹ Novartis’ rights for ruxolitinib outside of the United States under our Collaboration and License Agreement with Novartis do not include topical administration.

Discovery and early development – key highlights

Incyte’s portfolio of other earlier-stage clinical candidates is summarized below.

Oral PD-L1 Program: At SITC last year, Incyte highlighted clinical safety and efficacy data for the oral PD-L1 program which included three compounds, INCB86550, INCB99280 and INCB99318. Tumor shrinkage was observed for all three oral PD-L1 inhibitors. With regards to safety, both INCB99280 and INCB99318 did not show peripheral neuropathy seen with INCB86550. In May, the decision was made to prioritize the development of INCB99280 and INCB99318 based on positive therapeutic ratios.

INCB123667 (CDK2): In the cell cycle, the serine threonine kinase, CDK2, regulates the transition from the G1 phase (cell growth) to the S-phase (DNA replication). INCB123667 is a novel, potent and selective oral small molecule inhibitor of CDK2 which has been shown to suppress tumor growth as monotherapy and in combination with standard of care, in Cyclin E amplified tumor models, in vivo. A Phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study of INCB123667 in adults with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors is being initiated.

Modality	Candidates

Ruxolitinib in acute and chronic GVHD: In March, Incyte and Novartis announced a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for ruxolitinib in acute and chronic GVHD, based on data from the Phase 3 REACH2 and REACH3 trials. GVHD is a life-threatening complication of stem cell transplants, with no established standard of care in Europe for patients who do not adequately respond to first-line steroid treatment.

Baricitinib in alopecia areata (AA): In March, Incyte and Eli Lilly presented 52-week data at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) annual meeting demonstrating that nearly 40% of adults with alopecia areata and who were taking baricitinib 4mg saw at least 80% scalp hair coverage. There are no approved treatments for AA.

Capmatinib in NSCLC: In April, Incyte and Novartis announced a positive opinion from the CHMP based on data from the Phase 2 GEOMETRY mono-1 study showing an overall response rate (ORR) of 51.6% in a cohort evaluating second-line patients only and 44% in all previously-treated patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring alterations leading to MET exon 14 skipping.
