BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Oct. 31,
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 third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business
update.
"I am pleased with the progress the Company is making across
multiple ongoing initiatives this quarter." said Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of
Insmed. "We remain on track to file our NDA for brensocatib in the
fourth quarter of 2024 and continue to expect a potential U.S.
launch in the middle of 2025. We have also made great progress on
the clinical side, with the ENCORE and PAH studies nearing full
enrollment. All of this has been accomplished while delivering yet
another quarter of double-digit growth for ARIKAYCE in each of our
three commercial regions. With our demonstrated ability to execute
both clinically and commercially, and a strengthened balance sheet
due to actions we have taken to lower our cost of capital while
adding to our cash balance, we believe we are well-positioned to
deliver on the tremendous opportunities ahead."
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 the U.S.,
Japan, and Europe 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 in Europe and
Japan 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 in Boston. 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 $225
million convertible notes due in January 2025. Insmed
issued approximately 5.7 million shares of common stock in
connection with the redemption and earlier conversions of
notes.
(ii) The Company raised an additional $371
million in net proceeds under its at-the-market equity
offering program during the third quarter, at an average sales
price of $75.64 per share.
(iii) In October 2024, Insmed entered
into an agreement to amend its $350
million term loan with investment funds managed
by Pharmakon Advisors, LP. Under the terms of the amended
agreement, investment funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP will
provide an additional $150 million in
proceeds, to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024. The
maturity date for the full principal amount was extended to 2029,
and will carry a reduced fixed-interest rate in the high-single
digits.
- 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.
Third-Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $93.4 million, reflecting 18% year-over-year
growth compared to total revenue of $79.1
million for the third quarter of 2023.
- Total revenue for third-quarter 2024 included ARIKAYCE net
sales of $66.9 million in the U.S.,
$21.0 million in Japan, and $5.6
million in Europe and rest
of world. Third-quarter 2024 sales demonstrated year-over-year
growth of 13% in the U.S., 31% in Japan, and 45% in Europe and rest of world, reflecting continued
growth trends for ARIKAYCE in these regions.
- Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of
intangibles) was $21.2 million for
the third quarter of 2024, compared to $16.7
million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting
increased sales volumes of ARIKAYCE.
- Research and development (R&D) expenses were $150.8 million for the third quarter of 2024,
compared to $109.1 million for the
third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in R&D
expenses was primarily driven by increases in manufacturing and
compensation and benefit-related expenses.
- Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the
third quarter of 2024 were $118.9
million, compared to $90.6
million for the third 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 associated with
launch readiness activities for brensocatib.
- For the third quarter of 2024, Insmed reported a net loss of
$220.5 million, or $1.27 per share, compared to a net loss of
$158.9 million, or $1.11 per share, for the third quarter of
2023.
Balance Sheet, Financial Guidance, and Planned
Investments
- As of September 30, 2024, Insmed
had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling
$1,467.9 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 clinical and commercial programs, 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.
