Pipeline and Diseases
Insmed is advancing a pipeline to bring potential new treatments to patients with rare and serious diseases who currently have few, if any, treatment options. We are working with a profound sense of urgency to deliver creative applications of science and technology that have the potential to address these unmet needs.
Product Pipeline
Our research and development pipeline has the potential to address the significant unmet needs of patients with serious and rare diseases.
Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Lung Disease
Preclinical | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Approved |
-
ARIKAYCE® (Amikacin Liposome Inhalation Suspension)
Refractory NTM: M. avium complex (MAC) -
Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is a rare and serious disorder most commonly caused by a group of bacteria called Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC).1 People who have bronchiectasis, COPD, and asthma are at greater risk of getting NTM lung disease.2,3,4
-
ARIKAYCE® (Amikacin Liposome Inhalation Suspension) Lifecycle Management
Front Line Label Expansion -
Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is a rare and serious disorder most commonly caused by a group of bacteria called Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC).1 People who have bronchiectasis, COPD, and asthma are at greater risk of getting NTM lung disease.2,3,4
Neutrophil-Driven Inflammatory Conditions
Preclinical | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Approved |
-
Brensocatib: DPP1 Inhibitor
Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis -
Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is a chronic pulmonary disorder in which the bronchi become permanently dilated due to a vicious cycle of inflammation and complications from prior infections.5,6 The condition is marked by frequent pulmonary exacerbations requiring antibiotic therapy and/or hospitalizations.
-
Brensocatib: DPP1 Inhibitor
Cystic Fibrosis -
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare, progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.7 CF is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene.8
-
Brensocatib: DPP1 Inhibitor
COVID-19 (IIR) -
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. While most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness, those with certain risk factors are more likely to develop serious illness.9
Additional Rare Pulmonary Diseases
Preclinical | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Approved |
-
Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder
Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) -
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious, progressive, rare disease involving narrowing and constriction of the pulmonary arteries that carry blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs.10 PAH is also known as WHO Group 1 Pulmonary Hypertension.
-
Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder
Pulmonary Hypertension associated with Interstitial Lung Diseases (PH-ILD) -
Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) comprise a large group of diseases that cause fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs. Pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) is a common and important complication of several ILDs that is associated with reduced exercise capacity and poor prognosis.11,12 PH-ILD is also known as WHO Group 3 Pulmonary Hypertension.
-
Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) -
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious, chronic, progressive, rare disease in which tissue surrounding the air sacs in the lungs becomes thick and stiff, leading to permanent fibrosis (scarring), which, over time, makes breathing more difficult.13
Internal R&D
Preclinical | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 | Approved |
-
Internal R&D
Various indications -
Insmed conducts research in-house to potentially bring forth new medicines and technologies that address rare and serious diseases.
* In the U.S., as a condition of accelerated approval, Insmed is conducting an additional clinical study to support full approval. Full approved has been granted by the European Commission.
