Key Terms

kras g12d medical
KRAS G12D is a specific change in the KRAS gene where one building block in the cell’s instruction manual is swapped, causing the KRAS protein to get stuck in an “on” position and drive uncontrolled cell growth. Investors care because this switch is a common cause of certain cancers and creates a clear target for tests and treatments; successful drugs or diagnostics aimed at KRAS G12D can affect drug sales, trial outcomes, and regulatory approvals.
bispecific antibody medical
A bispecific antibody is a specially designed protein that can attach to two different targets at the same time. Think of it as a custom-made connector that brings two things together—such as a disease cell and an immune system component—helping the body fight illnesses more effectively. For investors, understanding bispecific antibodies is important because they represent innovative therapies that could lead to new treatments and potentially lucrative market opportunities.
microsatellite stable medical
Microsatellite stable describes a tumor whose short, repeating DNA sequences (microsatellites) show few or no errors, meaning the cancer’s internal “spell-check” system is largely intact. For investors, this matters because microsatellite stability is a biomarker that helps predict how likely a tumor is to respond to certain therapies and clinical trials, affecting drug development prospects, regulatory decisions, and the size of the potential patient market.
monotherapy medical
Monotherapy is a treatment approach that uses only one type of medicine or therapy to address a condition, instead of combining multiple options. For investors, understanding monotherapy matters because it can influence a company's development strategy, risk profile, and potential market size, especially if the single-treatment approach proves effective or faces limitations compared to combination therapies.

  • Rapid oral presentations will highlight new Phase 1 data across Incyte’s solid tumor portfolio
  • Both INCB161734, an investigational, potent, selective and orally bioavailable KRAS G12D inhibitor, and INCA338901, a TGFβR2×PD-1 bispecific antibody, are being evaluated in ongoing Phase 3 programs as first-line treatments for patients with advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer, respectively

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today announced that it will highlight data from several programs in its oncology portfolio in six presentations at the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026, being held October 23 - 27, 2026, in Madrid.

“The data at ESMO will further illustrate Incyte’s commitment to advancing innovation for patients with cancer,” said Pablo J. Cagnoni, M.D., President, Incyte and Global Head of Research and Development. "Among the presentations are important updates from our KRAS G12D inhibitor in advanced pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer, our TGFβR2×PD-1 bispecific antibody in microsatellite stable colorectal cancer and our CDK2 inhibitor in recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer – investigational approaches that reflect our focus on areas where there is significant need for novel therapies."

Details on key data presentations at ESMO include:
