Frequently asked questions about INCA033989

What is INCA033989 used for?

INCA033989 is an investigational small molecule being developed by Incyte Corporation for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms and essential thrombocythemia. It is also being studied in healthy participants for pharmacokinetic, safety, and tolerability assessments. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical development.

What does INCA033989 target?

INCA033989 targets mutant calreticulin (mutCALR), a protein involved in the development of certain myeloproliferative neoplasms. By targeting this specific mutant protein, the drug aims to address the underlying driver of the disease. This targeted approach is being evaluated in clinical trials for conditions like essential thrombocythemia.

Who makes INCA033989?

INCA033989 is being developed by Incyte Corporation, a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol INCY. Incyte is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and essential thrombocythemia.

What phase is INCA033989 in?

INCA033989 is in Phase 3 clinical development for essential thrombocythemia, with a randomized, controlled trial comparing it to best available therapy. It has also received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA. The drug is investigational and not yet approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is INCA033989 in?

INCA033989 is being studied in several trials. NCT05936359 and NCT06034002 are Phase 1 studies in myeloproliferative neoplasms, testing the drug alone or with ruxolitinib. NCT07448155 is a Phase 1 study in healthy participants. NCT07623200 is a Phase 3 trial in essential thrombocythemia comparing INCA033989 to best available therapy.

Is INCA033989 the same as a drug for essential thrombocythemia?

INCA033989 is being developed specifically for essential thrombocythemia, a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm. It is currently in a Phase 3 trial for this condition, where it is being compared to best available therapy. The drug targets mutant calreticulin, which is a driver in some cases of this disease.
