Brensocatib was well tolerated, with no new safety signals identified, including in the 40 mg arm, which is the highest dose Insmed has studied to date. Insmed has discontinued its development program of brensocatib in CRSsNP effective immediately and intends to present these data at a future congress. &#34;Given that there are no animal models in this disease, the purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to determine if brensocatib could provide treatment benefit to patients with CRSsNP,&#34; said Martina Flammer, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer of Insmed. &#34;While we are disappointed in the results, they provided us with a clear answer. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the patients and investigators who made the BiRCh study possible.&#34; In the study, a negative score in the primary endpoint of change from baseline to the 28-day average of daily Sinus Total Symptom Score (sTSS) at Week 24 indicated an improvement. Topline results from each treatment arm were as follows: placebo least squares (LS) mean was -2.44; brensocatib 10 mg LS mean was -2.21; and brensocatib 40 mg LS mean was -2.33.

Through its novel mechanism of action, INS1148 has the potential to preferentially target a specific isoform of Stem Cell Factor SCF248, which prevents only the inflammatory cascade downstream of c-Kit signaling, while leaving its critical homeostatic and tissue healing pathways intact. Insmed plans to advance Phase 2 development programs for INS1148 initially in interstitial lung disease and moderate-to-severe asthma. INS1148 (formerly known as OpSCF) was developed by Opsidio, a private, clinical-stage company. Dr. Flammer added, &#34;The acquisition of INS1148 adds a clinical-stage monoclonal antibody with a novel mechanism of action to our growing pipeline. We look forward to advancing this potentially first-in-class therapy in multiple serious diseases.&#34; About the Phase 2b BiRCh Study The Phase 2b trial of brensocatib in patients with CRSsNP was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of brensocatib compared to placebo. The study was conducted at 104 sites globally, and a total of 288 patients were randomized 1:1:1 to receive either brensocatib 10 mg (n=99), brensocatib 40 mg (n=94), or placebo (n=95) daily for 24 weeks in addition to daily treatment with mometasone furoate nasal spray background therapy. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the 28-day average of daily sTSS at Week 24. Secondary endpoints included changes in percentage of sinus opacification, Sino-Nasal Outcome Test 22 score, modified Lund-MacKay CT score, 28-day average of daily Nasal Congestion score, 28-day average of daily Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow, as well as proportion of participants requiring rescue therapy and mean brensocatib plasma concentration.
