Incyte Investor Event at AACR 2016 to Highlight Innovative and Diversified Research and Development Portfolio

Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq: INCY) will highlight the productivity of its drug discovery and development organization and aspects of its development portfolio at an investor event on Sunday, April 17, 2016 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The event will include a discussion of Incyte’s second-generation PI3Kδ inhibitor, INCB50465; the Company’s immuno-oncology portfolio, including its anti-GITR antibody, INCAGN1876, anti-OX40 antibody, INCAGN1949, and emerging data with its small molecule BRD inhibitor, INCB54329; as well as its targeted epigenetic therapies, including a novel LSD1 inhibitor entering Phase 1 development, INCB59872.

“Incyte operates with the conviction that investment in basic research can translate into innovative therapies that can address important unmet medical needs. To that end, we are pleased to be able to highlight such a broad collection of abstracts from our emerging development portfolio at this year’s AACR Annual Meeting,” stated Reid Huber, Ph.D., Incyte’s Chief Scientific Officer. “The research team’s productivity is a result of the quality of our scientific organization and the efficiency of our R&D model.”

As part of its succession plan, Incyte also announced that after almost 13 years at the Company, Dr. Richard Levy, Chief Drug Development Officer, is retiring effective April 30, 2016. Dr. Steven Stein, Incyte’s Chief Medical Officer, will now assume all of Dr. Levy’s responsibilities.
