Recent Pillar Highlights
Pillar 1: ARIKAYCE
- ARIKAYCE global revenue grew
18% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, reflecting an all-time revenue high and double-digit year-over-year growth in theU.S. ,Japan , andEurope and rest of world. - Insmed has closed screening of new patients for the ENCORE study and is now expected to exceed its target enrollment of 400 patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung infection who have not started antibiotics.
- The Company is scheduled to meet with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the fourth quarter to discuss the possibility of an accelerated approval to expand the label for ARIKAYCE to include all patients with MAC lung infection, based on the positive Phase 3 ARISE trial data. Insmed continues to expect that the full data from the ongoing ENCORE trial will be required for approval.
Pillar 2: Brensocatib
- Insmed remains on track to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis in the fourth quarter of 2024. If priority review is granted and brensocatib is approved, Insmed anticipates a
U.S. launch in mid-2025. Launches inEurope andJapan are expected in the first half of 2026, pending approvals. - New subpopulation data from 19 pre-specified categories of patients in the
ASPEN study were presented in October 2024 at the American College of Chest Physicians Annual Meeting inBoston . The annualized rate of pulmonary exacerbations favored brensocatib at both the 10 mg and 25 mg doses over placebo for almost all subgroups. In a separate analysis, least squares mean difference for brensocatib 25 mg demonstrated a reduced decline in post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at Week 52 versus placebo for all prespecified subgroups. - Insmed is advancing launch readiness activities in the
U.S. and has hired, trained, and deployed 120 additional therapeutic sales specialists in advance of launch, focused on bronchiectasis disease-state awareness with an expanded group of pulmonologists while also supporting the growth of ARIKAYCE. - The Company continues to enroll patients in the Phase 2b BiRCh trial of brensocatib in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and anticipates providing top-line data from the study in the second half of 2025.
- The Company is preparing to activate the first
U.S. clinical site for its Phase 2 study of brensocatib in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) by the end of 2024.
Pillar 3: TPIP
- Enrollment remains ongoing in the Phase 2 study of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with more than
90% of the target enrollment currently complete. - Insmed remains on track to report topline results from the PAH study in the second half of 2025.
- The Company continues to anticipate initiating a Phase 3 study of TPIP in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) in the second half of 2025.
Pillar 4: Early-Stage Research
- Insmed’s early-stage research efforts include more than 30 identified pre-clinical programs in development, all of which have the potential to become first-in-class or best-in-class therapies.
- The Company continues to anticipate the totality of its early-stage research programs will comprise less than
20% of overall spend.
Corporate Updates
- Insmed has taken the following actions intended to further strengthen its balance sheet and financial position:
(i) During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed the redemption of its
(ii) The Company raised an additional
(iii) In October 2024, Insmed entered into an agreement to amend its
- In October 2024, Insmed announced that it has earned the No. 1 ranking in Science‘s 2024 Top Employers Survey, marking the fourth consecutive year in which Insmed achieved the top ranking. The annual survey polls employees in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and related industries to determine the 20 best employers, as well as their driving characteristics.

About Brensocatib
Brensocatib is a small molecule, oral, reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) being developed by Insmed for the treatment of patients with bronchiectasis, CRSsNP, and other neutrophil-mediated diseases. DPP1 is an enzyme responsible for activating neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs), such as neutrophil elastase, in neutrophils when they are formed in the bone marrow. Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cell and play an essential role in pathogen destruction and inflammatory mediation. In chronic inflammatory lung diseases, neutrophils accumulate in the airways and result in excessive active NSPs that cause lung destruction and inflammation. Brensocatib may decrease the damaging effects of inflammatory diseases such as bronchiectasis by inhibiting DPP1 and its activation of NSPs. Brensocatib is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction.
About TPIP
Treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) is a dry powder formulation of treprostinil palmitil, a treprostinil prodrug consisting of treprostinil linked by an ester bond to a 16-carbon chain. Developed entirely in Insmed’s laboratories, TPIP is a potentially highly differentiated prostanoid being evaluated for the treatment of patients with PAH, PH-ILD, and other rare and serious pulmonary disorders. TPIP is administered in a capsule-based inhalation device. TPIP is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND BOXED WARNING FOR ARIKAYCE IN THE
WARNING: RISK OF INCREASED RESPIRATORY ADVERSE REACTIONS |
ARIKAYCE has been associated with an increased risk of respiratory adverse reactions, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, hemoptysis, bronchospasm, and exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease that have led to hospitalizations in some cases. |
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (reported as allergic alveolitis, pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, allergic reaction to ARIKAYCE) was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (
Hemoptysis has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Hemoptysis was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (
Bronchospasm has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Bronchospasm (reported as asthma, bronchial hyperreactivity, bronchospasm, dyspnea, dyspnea exertional, prolonged expiration, throat tightness, wheezing) was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (
Exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease (reported as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), infective exacerbation of COPD, infective exacerbation of bronchiectasis) have been reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (
Anaphylaxis and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious and potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients taking ARIKAYCE. Signs and symptoms include acute onset of skin and mucosal tissue hypersensitivity reactions (hives, itching, flushing, swollen lips/tongue/uvula), respiratory difficulty (shortness of breath, wheezing, stridor, cough), gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain), and cardiovascular signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis (tachycardia, low blood pressure, syncope, incontinence, dizziness). Before therapy with ARIKAYCE is instituted, evaluate for previous hypersensitivity reactions to aminoglycosides. If anaphylaxis or a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue ARIKAYCE and institute appropriate supportive measures.
Ototoxicity has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Ototoxicity (including deafness, dizziness, presyncope, tinnitus, and vertigo) were reported with a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (
Nephrotoxicity was observed during the clinical trials of ARIKAYCE in patients with MAC lung disease but not at a higher frequency than background regimen alone. Nephrotoxicity has been associated with the aminoglycosides. Close monitoring of patients with known or suspected renal dysfunction may be needed when prescribing ARIKAYCE.
Neuromuscular Blockade: Patients with neuromuscular disorders were not enrolled in ARIKAYCE clinical trials. Patients with known or suspected neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, should be closely monitored since aminoglycosides may aggravate muscle weakness by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions.
Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Aminoglycosides can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Aminoglycosides, including ARIKAYCE, may be associated with total, irreversible, bilateral congenital deafness in pediatric patients exposed in utero. Patients who use ARIKAYCE during pregnancy, or become pregnant while taking ARIKAYCE should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
Contraindications: ARIKAYCE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any aminoglycoside.
Most Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions in Trial 1 at an incidence ≥
Drug Interactions: Avoid concomitant use of ARIKAYCE with medications associated with neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and ototoxicity. Some diuretics can enhance aminoglycoside toxicity by altering aminoglycoside concentrations in serum and tissue. Avoid concomitant use of ARIKAYCE with ethacrynic acid, furosemide, urea, or intravenous mannitol.
Overdosage: Adverse reactions specifically associated with overdose of ARIKAYCE have not been identified. Acute toxicity should be treated with immediate withdrawal of ARIKAYCE, and baseline tests of renal function should be undertaken. Hemodialysis may be helpful in removing amikacin from the body. In all cases of suspected overdosage, physicians should contact the Regional Poison Control Center for information about effective treatment.
LIMITED POPULATION: ARIKAYCE® is indicated in adults, who have limited or no alternative treatment options, for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen in patients who do not achieve negative sputum cultures after a minimum of 6 consecutive months of a multidrug background regimen therapy. As only limited clinical safety and effectiveness data for ARIKAYCE are currently available, reserve ARIKAYCE for use in adults who have limited or no alternative treatment options. This drug is indicated for use in a limited and specific population of patients.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on achieving sputum culture conversion (defined as 3 consecutive negative monthly sputum cultures) by Month 6. Clinical benefit has not yet been established. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.
Limitation of Use: ARIKAYCE has only been studied in patients with refractory MAC lung disease defined as patients who did not achieve negative sputum cultures after a minimum of 6 consecutive months of a multidrug background regimen therapy. The use of ARIKAYCE is not recommended for patients with non-refractory MAC lung disease.
Patients are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1‑800‑FDA‑1088. You can also call the Company at 1-844-4-INSMED.
