History

In 2014, Incyte named Hervé Hoppenot president and CEO, and in 2015 he was appointed chairman of the Board of Directors. [7] [8] Hoppenot had previously served as the president of Novartis Oncology; he had been with Novartis since 2003. [8]

In September 2015, the company announced it had gained exclusive development and commercial right pertaining to Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd's anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, SHR-1210, in a deal worth $795+ million. [9]

In January 2020, Incyte signed a collaboration and license agreement for the global development and commercialization of tafasitamab with MorphoSys. [10] On March 3, 2020, the agreement received antitrust clearance and thus became effective. [11]

Pharmaceuticals

Incyte Corporation currently has seven marketed and co-marketed pharmaceutical products, including Jakafi (ruxolitinib), Pemazyre (pemigatinib), Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) , Opzelura (Ruxolitinib), Tabrecta (capmatinib), Olumiant (Baricitinib), and Iclusig (ponatinib). [12] [13] In 2013, Novartis acquired Incyte's c-Met inhibitor capmatinib (INC280, INCB028060), which is marketed under the brand name Tabrecta. [14]

As of 2014, the company was developing baricitinib, an oral JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor drug for rheumatoid arthritis in partnership with Eli Lilly. [15] [16] It gained EU approval in February 2017. [17] In April 2017, the US FDA issued a rejection, citing concerns about dosing and safety. [18] [19] In May 2018, baricitinib was approved in the United States for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis under the brand name Olumiant. [20] [21]

As of 2016 epacadostat, an indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO1) inhibitor, was in development for various cancers and was in combination trials with Merck's pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and Bristol Myers Squibb's nivolumab (Opdivo). [22] [23]

In May 2024, Incyte completed its acquisition of Escient Pharmaceuticals for $750 million. [24]
