Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq:INCY) announces that seven abstracts showcasing data from its cancer research portfolio will be presented at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2019. The meeting will be held March 29 – April 3, 2019, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

Accepted abstracts feature data from clinical studies involving Incyte’s anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, INCMGA0012¹, in patients with advanced solid tumors, as well as pre-clinical characterizations of the Company’s oral, small molecule PD-L1 inhibitor program and its PD-L1xCD137 bispecific antibody.

“Data accepted for presentation during the upcoming AACR Annual Meeting demonstrate our ongoing commitment to advancing innovative research as we seek to bring forward novel therapies for patients with cancer,” stated Dashyant Dhanak, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Incyte. “In particular, we are pleased to present, for the first time at a major medical meeting, early data on our oral PD-L1 inhibitor program—whose lead candidate, INCB86550, recently entered clinical trials.”
