“Underlying demand for Jakafi is strong, and we look forward to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision on ruxolitinib’s approval in steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD),” stated Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “We continue to make progress across multiple programs and towards our key strategic goals of further diversifying our revenue base and accelerating near-term growth. We expect to present data from ruxolitinib cream in patients with vitiligo later in the second quarter and to progress the program into Phase 3 development. In addition, we expect to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for pemigatinib and to receive the results from three Phase 3 trials of JAK inhibition in GVHD by the end of this year.”

GUIDANCE:

Incyte sees FY2019 revenue of $1.58-1.65 billion, versus the consensus of $2.06 billion.
