Wedbush analyst says, "We expect the FDA will lift the clinical hold on Insmed’s Phase III studies of ARIKACE in cystic fibrosis (CF) and Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) settings...ARIKACE is a liposomal formulation of amikacin designed for nebulization and inhalation...ARIKACE is ready to enter Phase III studies for the management of chronic Pseudomonas infections in patients with CF (a $300-million worldwide opportunity) and the rare but serious NTM setting (a $250-million worldwide opportunity)."

"We anticipate that upcoming catalysts for INSM will include the FDA’s response to Insmed’s safety-data submission and lifting of the clinical hold in late September/early October and initiation of three PIII trials in Q4:11/Q1:12."
