WILMINGTON, Del.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$INCY #earnings–Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) today reports 2020 second quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s development portfolio.
“We continue to execute successfully across all aspects of our business,” stated Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “Demand for Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) is robust and the recent approval of Pemazyre® (pemigatinib), as well as those of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) with MorphoSys and TabrectaTM (capmatinib) with Novartis, add to our momentum. In addition, clinical updates from the tafasitamab and LIMBER programs at the recent EHA congress, the successful outcome of REACH3, and our plan to submit an NDA seeking approval for ruxolitinib cream at the end of this year, further illustrate the opportunities within our portfolio to drive additional diversification and growth.”
Portfolio Update
LIMBER – key highlights
Positive proof-of-concept data for parsaclisib in combination with ruxolitinib in myelofibrosis (MF) patients with an inadequate response to ruxolitinib monotherapy were presented at the virtual 25th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA). Incyte plans to initiate pivotal trials of the combination of ruxolitinib and parsaclisib as both first-line therapy for MF patients and in MF patients with an inadequate response to ruxolitinib monotherapy.
Monotherapy treatment cohorts in the trials of INCB57643 (BET) and INCB00928 (ALK2) in patients with myelofibrosis are being opened for recruitment, and these are expected to be followed by the initiation of ruxolitinib combination trials with both agents. Further development of the combination of INCB53914 (PIM) plus ruxolitinib has been discontinued.

Oncology beyond MPNs – key highlights
In July, the FDA granted approval for Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix), an Fc-engineered anti-CD19 antibody, in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). Monjuvi was reviewed under Priority Review and granted accelerated approval based on overall response rate data from the L-MIND trial of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide.
Incyte and MorphoSys will co-commercialize Monjuvi in the U.S. Medical and commercial teams from both companies were ready for the early approval and launch activities are already underway, including engagements with prescribing physicians and payors.
In May, Incyte and MorphoSys announced the validation of the European Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for tafasitamab. Incyte has exclusive development and commercialization rights to tafasitamab outside of the U.S.
Updated results from the ongoing Phase 2 L-MIND study investigating the combination of tafasitamab and lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL (r/r DLBCL) were reported at EHA. The results were consistent with the primary analysis and those included in the U.S. prescribing information, and confirmed the durability of the response and measurements of overall survival of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide followed by tafasitamab monotherapy in ASCT-ineligible patients with r/r DLBCL.
In July, Incyte and Novartis announced that the REACH3 study, evaluating ruxolitinib in patients with steroid-refractory chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), met its primary endpoint of overall response rate (ORR) at Month 6 and both key secondary endpoints (modified Lee symptom scale and failure-free survival). No new safety signals were observed, and the ruxolitinib safety profile in REACH3 was consistent with that seen in previously reported studies. REACH3 is the largest randomized trial ever conducted in the steroid-refractory chronic GVHD setting. Data are being prepared for presentation at an upcoming medical meeting and for regulatory submission.

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 June 30, 2020 decreased 1% and 3%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense increased 145% and 160%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to upfront consideration of $805 million related to our collaborative agreement with MorphoSys.
Selling, general and administrative expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased 11% and 12%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to increased headcount and commercialization efforts of our products. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat compared to the same period in 2019.
Other Financial Information
Operating income (loss) GAAP and Non-GAAP operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased compared to the same period in 2019, due to growth in both product and royalty revenues and milestone and contract revenues. For the six months ended June 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 collaborative agreement with MorphoSys, partially offset by the growth in product and royalty revenues.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $1.6 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. The decrease reflects the upfront payment and stock purchase related to our collaborative agreement with MorphoSys and was partially offset by the cash flow generated during this six-month period.
2020 Financial Guidance
The Company has reaffirmed its full year 2020 financial guidance, as detailed below. The R&D expense guidance excludes $805 million of upfront consideration paid under the MorphoSys collaboration. The financial guidance also excludes the impact of any potential future strategic transactions.

Monjuvi is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and commercialize Monjuvi globally. Monjuvi will be co-commercialized by Incyte and MorphoSys in the United States. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights outside the United States.
A marketing authorization application (MAA) seeking the approval of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in the EU has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently under review for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, who are not candidates for ASCT.
Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in a number of ongoing combination trials.
Monjuvi is a registered trademark of MorphoSys AG. XmAb® is a registered trademark of Xencor, Inc.
About Pemazyre® (pemigatinib)
Pemazyre is a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test.
Pemazyre is a potent, selective, oral inhibitor of FGFR isoforms 1, 2 and 3 which, in preclinical studies, has demonstrated selective pharmacologic activity against cancer cells with FGFR alterations.
Pemazyre is marketed by Incyte in the United States. Incyte has granted Innovent Biologics, Inc. rights to develop and commercialize pemigatinib in hematology and oncology in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Incyte has retained all other rights to develop and commercialize pemigatinib outside of the United States.
Additionally, Incyte’s marketing authorization application (MAA) seeking the approval of pemigatinib for patients with cholangiocarcinoma in the EU has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently under review for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that is relapsed or refractory after at least one line of systemic therapy.
