MorphoSys and Incyte Announce First Patient Dosed in Phase 3 inMIND Study Evaluating the Addition of Tafasitamab to 
Lenalidomide and Rituximab in Relapsed or Refractory Follicular or Marginal Zone Lymphoma 
PLANEGG/MUNICH, Germany and WILMINGTON, Del. - April 19, 2021 - MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; Prime Standard Segment; MDAX & 
TecDAX; NASDAQ: MOR) and Incyte (NASDAQ: INCY) today announced the first patient has been dosed in the 
placebo-controlled Phase 3 inMIND study evaluating the efficacy and safety of tafasitamab or placebo in combination 
with lenalidomide and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) or marginal zone 
lymphoma (MZL). 
"Despite improvements in treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory FL and MZL, there continues to be a 
significant medical need for additional therapies with improved outcomes," said Peter Langmuir, M.D., Group Vice 
President, Oncology Targeted Therapeutics, Incyte. "We are pleased to have initiated the inMIND study as we seek 
meaningful, new options for patients with relapsed or refractory FL or MZL." 
FL and MZL are the most common indolent, or slow growing, forms of B-Cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs). FL and MZL 
account for approximately 20-25% and 7% of adult NHL cases, respectively.^[1] There are limited treatment options for 
the more than 17,000 new cases of relapsed or refractory FL treated every year in the United States, Europe and Japan.^ 
[2] 
"We are looking forward to building on previous, exploratory data in FL, and the results seen with tafasitamab and 
lenalidomide in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, to evaluate the potential benefit of adding 
tafasitamab to the current lenalidomide and rituximab combination regimen in patients with indolent lymphomas," said 
Mike Akimov, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Global Drug Development, MorphoSys. 
On January 7, 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted orphan drug designation for tafasitamab for the 
treatment of FL. 
About inMIND 
inMIND (NCT04680052), a global, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized Phase 3 study, is evaluating whether 
tafasitamab and lenalidomide as an add-on to rituximab provides improved clinical benefit compared with lenalidomide 
alone as an add-on to rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) Grade 1 to 3a or 
relapsed or refractory nodal, splenic or extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). The study is expected to enroll over 
600 adult (age >=18 years) patients with relapsed or refractory FL or MZL. 
The primary endpoint of the study is progression-free survival (PFS) in the FL population, and the key secondary 
endpoints are PFS and overall survival (OS) in the overall population as well as positron emission tomography complete 
response (PET-CR) at the end of treatment (EOT) in the FL population.

About Tafasitamab 
Tafasitamab is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting monoclonal antibody. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed 
exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb^ 
(R) engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including 
antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). 
Monjuvi^(R) (tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide 
for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise 
specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell 
transplant (ASCT). This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued 
approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory 
trial(s). 
In January 2020, MorphoSys and Incyte entered into a collaboration and licensing agreement to further develop and 
commercialize tafasitamab globally. Monjuvi^(R) is being co-commercialized by Incyte and MorphoSys in the United 
States. Incyte has exclusive commercialization rights outside the United States. 
A marketing authorization application (MAA) seeking the approval of tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide in the 
EU has been validated by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and is currently under review for the treatment of adult 
patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, who are not candidates for 
ASCT. 
Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in a number of ongoing 
combination trials.
