Jakafi Continues to Be Strong Growth Driver for Incyte in 2018
Incyte has projected Jakafi’s GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP revenues for full-year 2018 to fall in the range of $1.35 billion to $1.4 billion. This revenue performance could be driven by an anticipated rise in demand for the drug in existing rare blood cancer indications of myelofibrosis (or MF) and polycythemia vera (or PV) as well as from potential new indications such as graft versus host disease (or GVHD) and essential-thrombocythemia (or ET). Jakafi has been granted orphan drug designation in MF, PV, ET, GVHD, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) indications.

What Analysts Recommend for Incyte in April 2018
On April 6, 2018, Incyte (INCY) reported unfavorable results from its phase 3 ECHO-301/KEYNOTE-252 study, which evaluated the potential of the company’s investigational therapy, epacadostat, combined with Merck’s (MRK) Keytruda, in patients suffering from unresectable or metastatic melanoma as compared to those treated with Keytruda monotherapy. The trial failed to meet its first primary endpoint of improvement in progression-free survival and is also not expected to meet the second primary endpoint of overall survival. This news has had a drastic impact on Incyte’s stock, which fell ~22.9% from $83.07 on April 5, 2018, to $64.02 on April 6, 2018, and reduced the company’s market capitalization by approximately $3.5 billion.
