Thought this was interesting. The major player in myelofibrosis Incyte, with their selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, are also using it in the skin game.
Opzelura (ruxolitinib) recently approved in Canada and looks like it's gaining strong momentum. Net product revenues of $122 million in Q2'24 (+52% Y/Y); continued uptake in atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo in the U.S.; launch momentum and reimbursement expansion in vitiligo in Europe

On another note. Incyte's licensing partner for ruxolitnib outside the US Novartis has had a tough week. The FDA recently approved a generic drug of Novartis top-selling drug Entresto. The saga has been playing out in court and so far Novartis have been unsuccessful.

Patents for ruxolitnib are up in 2028.

Man oh man is it going to be interesting to see what SNT-5505 can do on top of the JAK Inhibitor.
