Incyte's INCA033989 Shows 90% Hematologic Response In High-Dose ET Patients, Frequent Durable Molecular Responses, Favorable Safety Profile, And Receives FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation In Updated Phase 1 Data Presented At ASH 2025

Benzinga · 12/08 21:35
- Nearly all (90%) of essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients treated with INCA033989 at the higher dose achieved a hematologic response (HR) with 83.3% achieving a complete HR
- Molecular responses were frequent, rapid, durable and correlated with hematologic responses; a reduction in mutCALR variant allele frequency (VAF) from baseline occurred in 96.2% of patients with ≥1 post-baseline VAF measurement
- Exploratory analyses from the clinical studies show potential direct disease-modifying activity of INCA033989
- Results demonstrate a favorable safety profile – no dose limiting toxicities were reported and a maximum tolerated dose was not reached
- The FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to INCA033989 for the treatment of patients with ET harboring a Type 1 CALR mutation who are resistant or intolerant to at least one cytoreductive therapy
Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) today announced updated clinical data from two Phase 1 studies evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of INCA033989, a first-in-class mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-targeted monoclonal antibody, as a treatment for patients with mutCALR-expressing myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). These data, which are featured in oral presentations at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in Orlando (Session 634, Publication #1024; Session 631, Publication #71), focus on the dose escalation portion of the studies in patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) harboring a CALR mutation who are resistant or intolerant to at least one cytoreductive therapy.
