Incyte Corp is an American pharmaceutical company based in Alapocas, Delaware.[3] The company was founded in Palo Alto, California in 1991 and went public in 1993.[1]

Incyte has one drug, Jakafi, which has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and has been prescribed to patients in the United States.[3]

As of 2014, the company was developing baricitinib, an oral JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor drug for rheumatoid arthritis in partnership with Eli Lilly.[4][5] It gained EU approval in February 2017.[6] In April 2017, the US FDA issued a rejection, citing concerns about dosing and safety.[7][8]

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).[9][10]

Novartis acquired Incyte's c-Met inhibitor capmatinib (INC280, INCB028060), which is in Phase II clinical trial as monotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma.[11]

History[edit]

In 2014, Incyte named Hervé Hoppenot president and CEO.[12] Hoppenot had previously served as the president of Novartis Oncology; he had been with Novartis since 2003.[12]

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.[13]
