FDA Grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation to Incyte's INCA033989 for Essential Thrombocythemia

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to Incyte Corporation's INCA033989, a first-in-class mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-targeted monoclonal antibody. This designation is for the treatment of essential thrombocythemia $(ET)$ patients with a Type 1 CALR mutation who are resistant or intolerant to at least one cytoreductive therapy. The decision was supported by early Phase 1 data showing that INCA033989 was well-tolerated and achieved rapid, durable normalization of platelet counts. Incyte plans to initiate a Phase 3 program evaluating INCA033989 in ET patients with all types of CALR mutations in mid-2026, pending regulatory alignment. Updated safety and efficacy data will be presented at the 2025 ASH Annual Meeting.
