BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq: INSM), a global biopharmaceutical company on a mission to transform the lives of patients with serious and rare diseases, today announced positive topline results from the ASPEN study, a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of brensocatib in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The study met its primary endpoint, with both dosage strengths of brensocatib demonstrating statistically significant reductions in the annualized rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) versus placebo. The study also met several of its prespecified secondary endpoints with statistical significance.
Based on these results, Insmed plans to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis in the fourth quarter of 2024. Pending regulatory approvals, Insmed anticipates a U.S. launch for brensocatib in mid-2025 followed by launches in Europe and Japan in the first half of 2026. If approved, brensocatib would be the first approved treatment for patients with bronchiectasis as well as the first approved dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor—a new mechanism of action with the potential to address a range of neutrophil-mediated diseases.
Topline efficacy results from the ASPEN study are as follows:

"I am thrilled that the ASPEN study has demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful treatment effect for brensocatib compared with placebo, underscoring the impact this investigational therapy may have on patients with bronchiectasis," said lead study investigator James Chalmers, MBChB, Ph.D., Professor and Consultant Respiratory Physician at the School of Medicine, University of Dundee, UK. "Today, there is no approved treatment for bronchiectasis and there remains an urgent need for a therapy that can reduce exacerbations. As a DPP1 inhibitor, brensocatib would be the first treatment in its class and could offer a completely new approach to managing this difficult-to-treat patient population, heralding a new era in clinical management of bronchiectasis."
As part of the ASPEN study's conduct, more than 460 trial sites were engaged in nearly 40 countries. After excluding sites that did not enroll any patients and all sites in Ukraine, the total number of active sites in ASPEN was 391 sites in 35 countries. Adult patients (ages 18 to 85 years) were randomized 1:1:1 and adolescent patients (ages 12 to

Very exciting times for Insmed. Great data,,major expansion app potential,,Japan totally in the works,and ready to be submitted once the data is ready, and translated. KaChing. 300 a share is not a stretch by any means for Insm,going forward. Next years a big year.

Ahh yes,,but Gottlieb is transforming the FDA to make approval or disapproval times much faster. The FDA wants Arikace approved and so does the CDC,and everyone who`ll benefit from the drug. We`re getting approved,IMO,and we`re just waiting for the FDA letter to go before the FDA panel for our majority yes vote. I really want to hear about Iplex,because that`s icing on the cake big time,and no one`s expecting anything out of it,so that news breaks and we run a bunch more. I`m with Pianoman and others of long term,on where the share price should get to after approval,but throw in iplex and we`re definitely over 100-125.

Wow that`s a lot of cash. More than enough extra to get Iplex going again. 377 million plus cash on hand,which is probably around 60 mln. They said 75 on the call,but that was for the end of June,so they`ve probably spent some of that 75 mln since,and that`s where I get the 60 mln. So a grand total of 430 mln minimum,and certainly a company in a position to start the new year off with super strength. Will Lewis has stated several times that he plans to turn Insmed into a stand alone big pharma,with multiple App`s for Arikace,and we`re hoping Iplex reborn,or another acquisition of a late stage drug,who knows. Point is the companies situated perfectly to achieve what Lewis declared he would do.Is it a ploy to sell Insm for the highest price possible?or is he really gonna do it?

I`m wondering how fast, with the new FDA under Gottleib,we will see approval,especially when the CDC wants what we have, as well as the FDA practically holding Insmeds hand through this whole thing. Everyone wants it approved,so it`s just a question of how long. IMO,the EU will get us done for sure,and the FDA should be a gimme considering everything. So how long? Shorts aren`t gonna get anything because approval could happen anytime now,and the offering set the bottom while we wait for it.
