Incyte Presents Phase 1/2 Multidose Data for VGA039 (Latarcibart) at ISTH 2026, Showing Substantial Bleed Reductions in Patients with all Von Willebrand Disease Types13.7.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) today announced complete safety and efficacy data from all patients (n=16) enrolled in the Phase 1/2 multidose study of VGA039 (latarcibart), a novel, Protein S-targeting, investigational monoclonal antibody for patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD). The data are being shared in an oral presentation today at the 34th Congress of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH 2026 Congress) in Paris. Latarcibart modulates Protein S to improve hemostasis, potentially enhancing the body’s ability to prevent or reduce the frequency of bleeding episodes. Latarcibart is in pivotal Phase 3 development for patients with VWD, the most common inherited bleeding disorder. If approved, latarcibart has the potential to be the first, once monthly subcutaneous prophylactic therapy for patients with VWD, offering an important alternative to the frequent intravenous infusions of replacement factor concentrates commonly used in the prophylactic setting today.
