Business Description

Overview Incyte is a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary therapeutics. Our global headquarters is located in Wilmington, Delaware, where we conduct discovery, clinical development and commercial operations. We also conduct clinical development and commercial operations from our European headquarters in Morges, Switzerland, and our other offices across Europe, as well as our Japanese headquarters in Tokyo and our Canadian headquarters in Montreal. We are focused in three therapeutic areas that are defined by the indications of our approved medicines and the diseases for which our clinical candidates are being developed. These therapeutic areas are: Hematology, Oncology, and Inflammation and Autoimmunity (“IAI”). Hematology Our hematology franchise includes four approved products, JAKAFI (ruxolitinib), ICLUSIG (ponatinib), MONJUVI (tafasitamab-cxix)/MINJUVI (tafasitamab) and NIKTIMVO (axatilimab-csfr), as well as multiple clinical development programs. Approved Products JAKAFI (ruxolitinib) JAKAFI (ruxolitinib) was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in November 2011 for the treatment of adults with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (“MF”); in December 2014 for the treatment of adults with polycythemia vera (“PV”) who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea; in May 2019 for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease ( “ GVHD ” ) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older; and in September 2021 for the treatment of chronic GVHD after failure of one or two lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older . MF and PV are both myeloproliferative neoplasms (“MPNs”), a group of rare blood cancers, and GVHD is an adverse immune response to an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (“HSCT”). The FDA has granted JAKAFI orphan drug status for MF, PV and GVHD. In addition, ruxolitinib phosphate qualifies for the Small Biotech Exception from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Myelofibrosis. MF, a rare, life-threatening condition, is considered the most serious of the MPNs and can occur either as primary MF or as secondary MF in patients who previously had PV or essential thrombocythemia (“ET”). In November 2011, the FDA approved JAKAFI for the treatment of adults with intermediate or high-risk MF, including primary MF, post-PV MF and post-ET MF. There were no FDA approved therapies for MF until the approval of JAKAFI. Polycythemia Vera. PV is an MPN typically characterized by elevated hematocrit, the volume percentage of red blood cells in whole blood, which can lead to a thickening of the blood and an increased risk of blood clots, as well as an elevated white blood cell and platelet count. In December 2014, the FDA approved JAKAFI for the treatment of patients with PV who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea. Graft-versus-host disease. GVHD is a condition that can occur after an allogeneic HSCT (the transfer of genetically dissimilar stem cells or tissue) where the donated bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells view the recipient’s body as foreign and attack various tissues. In May 2019, the FDA approved JAKAFI for the treatment of steroid-refractory acute GVHD in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older. In September 2021, the FDA approved JAKAFI for the treatment of chronic GVHD after failure of one or two lines of systemic therapy in adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older. Under our collaboration agreement with Novartis Pharmaceutical International Ltd. (“Novartis”), Novartis received exclusive development and commercialization rights to ruxolitinib outside of the United States for all hematologic and oncologic indications and sells ruxolitinib outside of the United States under the name JAKAVI. We are eligible to receive development and sales milestones as well as royalties from product sales outside the United States. 7 Table of Contents We have retained all development and commercialization rights to JAKAFI in the United States.
