Agreement provides Incyte the rights to develop and commercialize ENHANZE® with its mutCALR development program and an option to nominate up to two additional targets

SAN DIEGO, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: HALO) (“Halozyme” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a global collaboration and license agreement with Incyte (Nasdaq: INCY) to evaluate additional subcutaneous formulations of INCA033989, a first-in-class mutant calreticulin (mutCALR)-targeted monoclonal antibody, in patients with mutCALR-expressing myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), utilizing Halozyme’s proprietary ENHANZE® drug delivery technology.
