BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 8, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq: INSM), a people-first
global biopharmaceutical company striving to deliver first- and
best-in-class therapies to transform the lives of patients facing
serious diseases, today reported financial results for the second
quarter ended June 30, 2024, and
provided a business update.
"The second quarter of 2024 marked a pivotal moment in Insmed's
history with positive topline data from the landmark Phase 3 ASPEN
study. We were thrilled to deliver such promising news to the
bronchiectasis community and to join them in celebrating these
groundbreaking and long-awaited results," said Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of
Insmed. "Our focus now is on moving rapidly toward filing for
regulatory approval of brensocatib and preparing to execute
flawlessly on our commercial launches around the world, beginning
in the U.S. in mid-2025, if approved. Behind these efforts, I am
proud of how we are advancing other aspects of our business,
including delivering our strongest quarter yet for ARIKAYCE with
double-digit growth in our three commercial regions. We have a
tremendous opportunity ahead and are excited to continue
progressing toward the vision we set out for this company over a
decade ago."
Recent Pillar Highlights
Pillar 1: ARIKAYCE
- ARIKAYCE global revenue grew 17% in the second quarter of 2024
compared to the second quarter of 2023, reflecting double-digit
year-over-year growth in the U.S., Japan, and Europe and all-time revenue highs for each of
these three regions.
- The Company met with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) in June and aligned on the primary endpoint for the Phase 3
ENCORE study in patients with newly diagnosed or
recurrent Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung
infection who have not started antibiotics.
- Insmed is targeting enrollment of 400 patients in the ENCORE
study and expects to report topline data in the first quarter of
2026.
Pillar 2: Brensocatib
- Insmed reported positive topline data from the Phase 3 ASPEN
study of brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis in
May 2024. The study met its primary
endpoint, with both dosage strengths of brensocatib demonstrating
statistically significant reductions in the annualized rate of
adjudicated pulmonary exacerbations versus placebo. The study also
met several prespecified secondary endpoints with statistical
significance, including the change from baseline in forced
expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) for the 25 mg dose.
- Based on these results, the Company plans to file a New Drug
Application (NDA) with the 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 and launches in Europe
and Japan in the first half of
2026.
- Additional positive results from the ASPEN study were presented in July 2024 at the 7th World Bronchiectasis
Conference in Dundee, Scotland, including nominally significant
findings for the 25 mg dose from two exploratory endpoints: change
in post-bronchodilator forced vital capacity (FVC) and change in
average daily bronchiectasis exacerbation and symptom tool (BEST)
score, a novel symptom diary.
- Insmed looks forward to presenting additional data from the
ASPEN study, including
prespecified subpopulation data, at CHEST 2024, taking place
October 6-9 in Boston.
- Insmed is advancing launch readiness activities in the U.S. and
plans to have 120 new therapeutic specialists hired, trained, and
in the field well in advance of launch, focused on bronchiectasis
disease state awareness and education while also detailing
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 topline data from the study in the second
half of 2025.
- The Company anticipates activating the first U.S. sites in its
Phase 2 study of brensocatib in patients with hidradenitis
suppurativa (HS) by the end of 2024.
Pillar 3: TPIP
- Insmed reported positive topline safety and tolerability data
as well as certain exploratory efficacy endpoints from the Phase 2
study of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) in patients
with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung
disease (PH-ILD) in May 2024.
- The Company continues to anticipate initiating a Phase 3 study
of TPIP in patients with PH-ILD in 2025.
- Enrollment remains ongoing in the Phase 2 study of TPIP in
patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with more than
75% of the target enrollment currently complete.
- Insmed remains on track to report topline results from the PAH
study 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
- During the second quarter of 2024, Insmed completed a public
offering of 14,514,562 shares of common stock, including 1,893,203
shares issued pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters'
option to purchase additional shares. The Company's net proceeds
from the sale of the shares, after underwriting discounts and other
estimated offering-related expenses, were $713.2 million.
- In June 2024, the Company issued
a notice of redemption for all $225
million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 1.75%
convertible senior notes due in January
2025, with a redemption date of August 9, 2024. As of August 7, 2024, 99.9% of the outstanding notes,
or $224.7 million of the outstanding
principal, had been converted into approximately 5.7 million shares
of common stock in advance of the redemption date.
Second-Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Total revenue for the quarter ended June
30, 2024, was $90.3 million,
reflecting 17% growth compared to total revenue of $77.2 million for the second quarter of
2023.
- Total revenue for second-quarter 2024 included ARIKAYCE net
sales of $63.8 million in the U.S.,
$21.1 million in Japan, and $5.4
million in Europe and rest
of world. Second-quarter 2024 sales demonstrated year-over-year
growth of 11% in the U.S., 35% in Japan, and 37% in Europe and rest of world, reflecting continued
growth trends for ARIKAYCE in these regions.
- Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of
intangibles) was $21.0 million for
the second quarter of 2024, compared to $16.6 million for the second quarter of 2023,
primarily reflecting increased sales volumes of ARIKAYCE.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $146.7
million for the second quarter of 2024, compared
to $197.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The
year-over-year decrease in R&D expenses was primarily driven by
the non-cash cost of the Adrestia acquisition in the prior-year
quarter.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the
second quarter of 2024 were $106.6
million, compared to $84.4
million for the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year
increase in SG&A expenses resulted primarily from increases in
compensation and benefit-related expenses and stock-based
compensation costs due to an increase in headcount.
- The Company recorded a non-cash expense of $103.7 million in the second quarter of 2024,
reflecting the change in fair value of deferred and contingent
consideration liabilities associated with previous acquisitions,
which primarily resulted from the increase in our share price
during the quarter.
- For the second quarter of 2024, Insmed reported a net loss of
$300.6 million, or $1.94 per share, compared to a net loss of
$244.8 million, or $1.78 per share, for the second quarter of
2023.
Balance Sheet, Financial Guidance, and Planned
Investments
- As of June 30,
2024, Insmed had cash and cash equivalents
totaling $1,246.8 million.
- Insmed is reiterating its guidance for full-year 2024 global
ARIKAYCE revenues in the range of $340
million to $360 million,
representing 15% year-over-year growth at the midpoint compared to
2023.
- Insmed continues to anticipate that over 80% of total
expenditures will be on its mid- to late-stage and commercial
programs (ARIKAYCE, brensocatib, and TPIP), and that less than 20%
of overall spend will be on its early-stage research programs,
reflecting the Company's historical approach to spending.
- The Company plans to continue to invest in the following key
activities in 2024:
(i) commercialization and continued growth
of ARIKAYCE in its current indication globally, as well as
advancement of the clinical trial program intended to potentially
support label expansion to include all patients with a MAC lung
infection and to satisfy the post-marketing requirement for full
approval of its current indication;
(ii) advancement of brensocatib, including:
a. activities related to regulatory filing
and commercial launch readiness for bronchiectasis and
b. the ongoing Phase 2 BiRCh trial in patients with CRSsNP and
the anticipated Phase 2 program in HS;
(iii) advancement of its clinical development
programs for TPIP; and
(iv) development of its early-stage research programs.

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 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 U.S.
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 (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. 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.
