Incyte Corp's stock rose by 5.48% as it reached a 5-day high, reflecting positive momentum in the market.
This surge is attributed to the European Commission's approval of Incyte's Minjuvi (tafasitamab) in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for treating relapsed follicular lymphoma, marking a significant advancement in oncology and addressing critical treatment gaps. The Phase 3 inMIND trial demonstrated a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 22.4 months, significantly outperforming the control group, which indicates the therapy's potential to improve patient outcomes.
The approval of Minjuvi not only enhances Incyte's portfolio but also positions the company for further growth in the oncology market, fulfilling a substantial unmet need for patients with relapsed lymphoma.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for INCY is 100.31 USD with a low forecast of 73.00 USD and a high forecast of 125.00 USD.
