No­var­tis nabs pri­or­i­ty re­view for a block­buster-to-be aimed at NSCLC niche — de­light­ing In­cyte ex­ecs

In­cyte fi­nal­ly has some good news to share about one drug it’s dis­cov­ered that’s not Jakafi — al­beit one that doesn’t be­long to it any­more.

FDA reg­u­la­tors have ac­cept­ed cap­ma­tinib, an or­phan and “break­through” MET in­hibitor, for pri­or­i­ty re­view. The hon­or tech­ni­cal­ly goes to No­var­tis, which li­censed world­wide de­vel­op­ment and com­mer­cial­iza­tion rights to the drug back in 2009.

But that didn’t stop In­cyte from brag­ging about it in a re­lease, re­mind­ing in­vestors that if every­thing goes well, it’s el­i­gi­ble for $500 mil­lion-plus in mile­stones as well as roy­al­ties up to 14% of glob­al sales.
