Brensocatib

Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has approved Brinsupri (brensocatib) for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, making it the first approved treatment for the condition in Japan. Bridgewater, New Jersey-based Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq: INSM) now holds approvals in the US, EU, and Japan for the oral, once-daily dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor, which received US FDA approval in August 2025 as the first therapy specifically indicated for NCFB. The Japan approval covers brensocatib 25 mg tablets taken once daily, with no additional biomarker or exacerbation-history qualifier — a broader label than the EU and UK, where approval requires at least two exacerbations in the prior 12 months. Brensocatib acts by reversibly inhibiting DPP1, a lysosomal cysteine protease that activates neutrophil serine proteases during neutrophil maturation in the bone marrow; blocking this upstream step reduces chronic neutrophilic airway inflammation without directly depleting circulating neutrophils. The MHLW decision is based on the Phase III ASPEN study, in which brensocatib 25 mg significantly reduced pulmonary exacerbation rates versus placebo over 52 weeks, prolonged time to first exacerbation, and increased the proportion of patients remaining exacerbation-free. Patients on the 25 mg dose also showed significantly lower lung function decline at week 52, measured by post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events occurring in at least 5% of patients were COVID-19, nasopharyngitis, cough, and headache. The news provides a boost to Insmed after development of brensocatib in hidradenitis suppurativa was discontinued after the CEDAR study failed to meet its primary endpoint. Brinsupri remains the only approved treatment specifically indicated for NCFB in the US, EU, and Japan. In the pipeline, AstraZeneca's tozorakimab, an anti-interleukin-33 monoclonal antibody that met its primary endpoint in Phase III chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation trials, has been cited by AstraZeneca management as a candidate for bronchiectasis development. AstraZeneca also tested benralizumab (Fasenra) in the eosinophilic NCFB subpopulation in the Phase III MAHALE trial, but failed to meet the primary endpoint, removing a leading biologic challenger from the near-term competitive field.

"Our team delivered tremendous results in the second quarter of the year, reflecting our operational excellence and positioning for the future," said Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Insmed. "The U.S. BRINSUPRI launch continues to be met with significant enthusiasm and demand from patients and physicians. Additionally, we were pleased to report positive data from our ongoing open-label extension study of TPIP in PAH, reinforcing TPIP's potential to become the prostanoid of choice. Looking ahead, our focus is on building upon the early success of the BRINSUPRI launch, preparing to execute on the potential ARIKAYCE label expansion in the U.S. and Japan, progressing our Phase 3 TPIP programs across four large indications, and advancing our multiple early-stage pipeline candidates. As a result of our team's significant efforts, we are raising our peak revenue estimates for both BRINSUPRI and TPIP. We now expect that our three lead programs will generate more than $14 billion in combined peak sales. This ambitious yet achievable objective reflects our team's proven ability to execute and the opportunity to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide." Progress and Anticipated Milestones by Therapeutic Area: Respiratory BRINSUPRI BRINSUPRI global revenue grew 49% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2026, driven by strong growth in the U.S. market. Insmed continues to anticipate a regulatory decision for brensocatib for the treatment of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) in Japan in the second half of 2026. In June 2026, the European Multi-centre Bronchiectasis Audit and Research Collaboration (EMBARC) announced a collaboration with Insmed to conduct a landmark three-year open-label interventional study evaluating the disease modification potential of 25 mg brensocatib in bronchiectasis. Insmed continues to evaluate the potential effect of evolving U.S. policies which will then impact the timing for future potential international commercial launches. ARIKAYCE ARIKAYCE global revenue grew 8% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by strong growth in international markets. In July 2026, Insmed submitted a supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ARIKAYCE in newly diagnosed patients with MAC lung disease. Similarly, Insmed plans to review the Phase 3b ENCORE data with the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in the second half of 2026 to support potential label expansion in Japan. TPIP Insmed continues to enroll patients in the PALM-ILD trial, a Phase 3 study of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). Insmed is actively enrolling patients in the PALM-PAH trial, a Phase 3 study of TPIP in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In July 2026, Insmed reported positive 12-month data from the ongoing open-label extension (OLE) study of TPIP in patients with PAH. Insmed continues to anticipate initiating a Phase 3 study of TPIP in patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) in the second half of 2026 and a Phase 3 study in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in the first half of 2027. INS1148 Insmed continues to advance a Phase 2 development program for INS1148, initially targeting PPF and IPF, and is exploring other diseases where inhibition of the inflammatory functions of Stem Cell Factor 248 (SCF248) may be beneficial. Immunology & Inflammation INS1033 In July 2026, the Investigational New Drug (IND) filing for INS1033, Insmed's second dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor, was cleared by the FDA for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Insmed plans to initiate a Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers in the third quarter of 2026. Neuro & Other Rare INS1201 Insmed continues to enroll patients in the Phase 1 ASCEND clinical study of INS1201, an intrathecally delivered gene therapy for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). INS1202 Insmed continues to enroll patients in the Phase 1 ARMOR study of INS1202, an intrathecally delivered gene therapy for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Corporate Updates In May 2026, Insmed presented six abstracts from across its Respiratory Therapeutic Area at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2026 International Conference. In June 2026, Insmed appointed Samuele Butera as Senior Vice President, General Manager, Global Respiratory to lead its Respiratory Therapeutic Area. Second-Quarter 2026 Financial Results The following table summarizes second-quarter and year-to-date 2026 and 2025 revenues and revenue growth for BRINSUPRI and ARIKAYCE across all commercial regions: Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles) were $67.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $28.1 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in cost of product revenues in the second quarter of 2026 primarily reflects the increase in total product revenues for ARIKAYCE and BRINSUPRI. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased in the second quarter of 2026 due to sales of BRINSUPRI, which has lower manufacturing costs than ARIKAYCE. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $210.0 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $177.2 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily related to increases in compensation and benefit-related expenses, as well as stock-based compensation due to an increase in headcount, and an increase in clinical development and research costs primarily related to TPIP. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $247.5 million, compared to $154.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2026 was primarily related to increases in professional fees and other external expenses, and an increase in compensation and benefit-related expenses due to an increase in headcount, both driven by commercial activities for BRINSUPRI. For the second quarter of 2026, Insmed reported a net loss of $13.2 million, or $0.06 per share, compared to a net loss of $321.7 million, or $1.70 per share, for the second quarter of 2025. Balance Sheet, Financial Guidance, and Planned Investments As of June 30, 2026, Insmed had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling approximately $1.2 billion. The Company raised its guidance for full-year 2026 BRINSUPRI revenues to a range of $1.25 billion to $1.40 billion from the previous guidance of at least $1 billion. The Company continues to anticipate full-year 2026 ARIKAYCE revenues in the range of $450 million to $470 million. The Company raised its peak revenue estimate for BRINSUPRI to more than $7 billion, raised its peak revenue estimate for TPIP to more than $6 billion, and reiterated its peak revenue estimate for ARIKAYCE as more than $1 billion. The Company continues to anticipate submitting an average of one to two INDs per year from its pre-clinical research programs. Insmed continues to anticipate that the totality of its pre-clinical research programs will comprise less than 20% of overall expenditures.

About ARIKAYCE ARIKAYCE® is approved in the United States as ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion, and in Japan as ARIKAYCE inhalation 590 mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). Current international treatment guidelines recommend the use of ARIKAYCE for appropriate patients. ARIKAYCE is a novel, inhaled, once-daily formulation of amikacin, an established antibiotic that was historically administered intravenously and associated with severe toxicity to hearing, balance, and kidney function. Insmed's proprietary PULMOVANCE™ liposomal technology enables the delivery of amikacin directly to the lungs, where liposomal amikacin is taken up by lung macrophages where the infection resides, while limiting systemic exposure. ARIKAYCE is administered once daily using the Lamira® Nebulizer System manufactured by PARI Pharma GmbH (PARI). About PARI Pharma and the Lamira ® Nebulizer System ARIKAYCE is delivered by a novel inhalation device, the Lamira® Nebulizer System, developed by PARI. Lamira® is a quiet, portable nebulizer that enables efficient aerosolization of ARIKAYCE via a vibrating, perforated membrane. Based on PARI's 100-year history working with aerosols, PARI is dedicated to advancing inhalation therapies by developing innovative delivery platforms to improve patient care. About BRINSUPRI BRINSUPRI® (brensocatib) is a small molecule, once-daily, oral, reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1). BRINSUPRI (brensocatib 10 mg and 25 mg tablets) is indicated in the United States for the treatment of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age or older. In the European Union, BRINSUPRI (brensocatib 25 mg tablets) is approved for the treatment of NCFB in patients 12 years of age and older with two or more exacerbations in the prior 12 months. In the U.K., BRINSUPRI (brensocatib 25 mg tablets) is approved for the treatment of NCFB in patients 12 years of age and older with two or more flare ups or worsening of symptoms in the past 12 months. Brensocatib is designed to inhibit the activation of enzymes (neutrophil serine proteases) in neutrophils that are key drivers of chronic airway inflammation in NCFB. About TPIP Treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) is an investigational dry powder formulation of treprostinil palmitil, a treprostinil prodrug consisting of treprostinil linked by an ester bond to a 16-carbon chain. Designed entirely in Insmed's laboratories, TPIP is a potentially highly differentiated prostanoid being developed as once-daily therapy for the treatment of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). 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. About INS1033 INS1033 is an investigational small molecule, oral, reversible dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor. Designed entirely in Insmed's laboratories, INS1033 is being developed as a potential once-daily therapy, initially for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with additional clinical programs expected to follow in ulcerative colitis (UC) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 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. Excessive activation and secretion of NSPs can cause inflammatory response and tissue damage. By inhibiting DPP1 and its activation of NSPs, INS1033 may address the chronic neutrophilic-related inflammation associated with diseases such as RA, UC, and COPD. INS1033 is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction. About INS1148 INS1148 is an investigational monoclonal antibody that Insmed is developing as a potential first-in-class therapy initially for patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), with other diseases being explored where inhibition of the inflammatory functions of Stem Cell Factor 248 (SCF248) may be beneficial. Through its novel mechanism of action, INS1148 preferentially targets a specific isoform of Stem Cell Factor, called SCF248. Binding to SCF248 induces clearance of this SCF isoform and interrupts only the inflammatory cascade downstream of c-Kit signaling, while leaving its homeostatic and tissue healing pathways intact. INS1148 is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction. About INS1201 INS1201 is an investigational micro-dystrophin adeno-associated virus (AAV9) gene therapy that Insmed is developing as a potential treatment for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Administered intrathecally, this approach has the potential to target both skeletal and cardiac muscles as a one-time fixed (non-weight-based) dose. INS1201 is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction. About INS1202 INS1202 is an investigational adeno-associated virus (AAV9) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) construct targeting the human superoxide dismutase type 1 (SOD1) gene. Insmed is developing INS1202 as a potential treatment for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who carry SOD1 mutations and those who do not have SOD1 mutations. INS1202 is administered intrathecally as a one-time fixed (non-weight-based) dose. INS1202 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 U.S. 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 (3.1%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (0%). Most patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis discontinued treatment with ARIKAYCE and received treatment with corticosteroids. If hypersensitivity pneumonitis occurs, discontinue ARIKAYCE and manage patients as medically appropriate. 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 (17.9%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (12.5%). If hemoptysis occurs, manage patients as medically appropriate. 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 (28.7%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (10.7%). If bronchospasm occurs during the use of ARIKAYCE, treat patients as medically appropriate. 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 (14.8%) compared to patients treated with background regimen alone (9.8%). If exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease occur during the use of ARIKAYCE, treat patients as medically appropriate. 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 (17%) compared to patients treated with background regimen alone (9.8%). This was primarily driven by tinnitus (7.6% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs 0.9% in the background regimen alone arm) and dizziness (6.3% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs 2.7% in the background regimen alone arm). Closely monitor patients with known or suspected auditory or vestibular dysfunction during treatment with ARIKAYCE. If ototoxicity occurs, manage patients as medically appropriate, including potentially discontinuing ARIKAYCE. 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 ≥5% for patients using ARIKAYCE plus background regimen compared to patients treated with background regimen alone were dysphonia (47% vs 1%), cough (39% vs 17%), bronchospasm (29% vs 11%), hemoptysis (18% vs 13%), ototoxicity (17% vs 10%), upper airway irritation (17% vs 2%), musculoskeletal pain (17% vs 8%), fatigue and asthenia (16% vs 10%), exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease (15% vs 10%), diarrhea (13% vs 5%), nausea (12% vs 4%), pneumonia (10% vs 8%), headache (10% vs 5%), pyrexia (7% vs 5%), vomiting (7% vs 4%), rash (6% vs 2%), decreased weight (6% vs 1%), change in sputum (5% vs 1%), and chest discomfort (5% vs 3%). 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. U.S. INDICATION 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.
