This document summarizes a Phase 2 clinical trial exploring the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of escalating doses of INCB039110, an oral JAK1 inhibitor, in subjects with chronic plaque psoriasis over 28 days. The trial found that INCB039110 produced statistically significant improvements in psoriasis severity compared to placebo based on measures like the static Physician's Global Assessment and PASI 50 response. Treatment was generally well tolerated with no evidence of myelosuppression. Decreases in platelets and increases in LDL and HDL were observed but remained within normal limits. The results demonstrate the potential for JAK1 inhibition as an effective oral treatment for psoriasis.

INCB039110 Is a Potent and Selective Inhibitor of JAK1
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibition has demonstrated therapeutic activity in
oncology/hematology and chronic inflammatory diseases
JAK1-selective inhibition offers the possibility of achieving anti-inflammatory
effects while avoiding the potential deleterious side effects arising from
JAK2 (i.e. myelosuppression) and JAK3 (i.e. immunosuppression) inhibition
INCB039110 is a potent and selective inhibitor of JAK1, with >20 and
>200-fold selectivity over JAK2 and JAK3, respectively
INCB039110 is efficacious in the rat
adjuvant-induced arthritis model at
exposures that do not effect EPO-
induced stimulation of reticulocytes
INCB039110 is being studied in
multiple PoC Phase 2 trials —
psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and
myelofibrosis — to define its clinical
efficacy and safety profile

Conclusions
INCB039110, a potent and selective inhibitor of JAK1, has
demonstrated proof-of-concept in chronic plaque psoriasis
Treatment with INCB039110 demonstrated efficacy in sPGA and
PASI 50 over 4 weeks of therapy
INCB039110 treatment was generally well tolerated, with no
evidence of myelosuppression
– Decreases in platelet counts occurred and generally remained
within normal limits, reflecting a positive impact on this acute
phase reactant
– Increases in LDL and HDL were also noted, with no dose
associated change in HDL/LDL ratio
These results demonstrate the potential for JAK1 inhibition as an
effective oral approach to the treatment of psoriasis
