Data From Incyte’s Povorcitinib Clinical Program to Be Featured at the 8th Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA)

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that multiple abstracts featuring new data from the company’s clinical program on povorcitinib, an investigational oral JAK-1 inhibitor, have been accepted for oral presentation at the 8th Annual Symposium on Hidradenitis Suppurativa Advances (SHSA) held October 13-15 in Phoenix.

“We look forward to sharing data from three oral presentations which add to our body of evidence on povorcitinib as a potential effective oral treatment option for patients living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS),” said Kurt Brown, M.D., Global Program Head, Povorcitinib, and Associate Vice President, Drug Development, Inflammation & AutoImmunity, Incyte. “At Incyte, we are committed to relentlessly following the science to explore potential treatment options for immune-mediated dermatologic conditions such as HS, and are excited to share these data with the scientific community at this year’s SHSA.”

Key abstracts from Incyte-sponsored programs include:

About Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by painful nodules and abscesses that can lead to irreversible tissue destruction and scarring1,2. Over-activity of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway is believed to drive inflammation involved in the pathogenesis and progression of HS3. More than 150,000 patients in the U.S. are estimated to have moderate to severe HS4. Given the debilitating nature of condition, it can have a profoundly negative effect on patients’ quality of life5.

About Povorcitinib (INCB54707)

Povorcitinib (INCB54707) is an oral small-molecule JAK1 inhibitor currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for vitiligo, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and asthma. Phase 3 studies in HS are also ongoing.
