Incyte Corporation (NASDAQ:INCY) announces that 20 abstracts from its research and development portfolio will be presented at the upcoming 2017 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting in Washington, D.C. from April 1-5, 2017. These abstracts include a clinical data presentation from the dose-escalation phase of the Company's ongoing trial of its selective FGFR 1/2/3 inhibitor (INCB54828), and well as preclinical data from its small molecule inhibitor programs targeting PI3Kδ (INCB50465), LSD1 (INCB59872), JAK1 (INCB52793), BRD/BET (INCB54329 and INCB57643) and FGFR4 (INCB62079) and from its epacadostat, OX40 (INCAGN1949) and GITR (INCAGN1876) immuno-oncology programs.

"The 20 abstracts to be presented at the upcoming AACR annual meeting underscore the breadth and potential of our innovative pipeline of oncology product candidates," stated Reid Huber, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Incyte. "We are pleased to share these new data with the scientific community, and look forward to progressing these and the other clinical programs in our growing portfolio."

Key abstracts, including Incyte-sponsored and independent investigator-sponsored studies, include:
