Insmed Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Full enrollment in phase 3 CONVERT study remains on track for 2016

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., August 4, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq: INSM), a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the unmet needs of patients with rare diseases, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Business Update

·                  Global phase 3 CONVERT study advancing on track. The company continues to expect patient enrollment in its phase 3 study of ARIKAYCE (liposomal amikacin for inhalation) to conclude in 2016.  The study, which is known as CONVERT™ or INS-212, is evaluating ARIKAYCE in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lung disease caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). CONVERT is taking place in 18 countries and involves more than 145 sites. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve culture conversion at Month 6 in the ARIKAYCE plus multi-drug regimen arm compared to the multi-drug regimen without ARIKAYCE arm.

·                  Data from phase 2 study of ARIKAYCE presented at the 1st World Bronchiectasis Conference.  One-year follow-up data from the company’s phase 2 study of ARIKAYCE in patients with NTM lung disease were recently presented at the 1st World Bronchiectasis Conference in Hannover, Germany. The presentation was one of nine abstracts accepted for oral presentation.

·                  Data from phase 1 clinical study of INS1009 to be presented at ERS 2016. Two abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress taking place in London September 3-7.  The posters are titled “Single dose pharmacokinetics of C16TR for Inhalation (INS1009) vs. treprostinil inhalation solution” and “Safety and pharmacokinetics study of a single ascending dose of C16TR for inhalation (INS1009)”. The presentations will take place on Monday September 5. INS1009 is one of the company’s nebulized treprostinil prodrugs, which may offer a differentiated product profile with therapeutic potential in rare pulmonary disorders such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary sarcoidosis, and severe refractory asthma.

·                  US Patent strengthens global patent portfolio. The United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent no. 9,402,845, which provides methods of treating pulmonary infections via inhalation administration of a formulation containing a liposomal quinolone antibiotic and free quinolone antibiotic, such as ciprofloxacin. For example, a method of treating a bronchiectasis patient for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa pulmonary infection with the formulation is provided. The patent complements ARIKAYCE’s global intellectual property estate and further solidifies Insmed’s position as an innovator of liposomal antibiotic technology for pulmonary disorders and infections.

“Our phase 3 CONVERT study is our top corporate priority and we anticipate concluding enrollment later this year,” said Will Lewis, president and chief executive officer of Insmed. “Positive data from CONVERT are expected to support a broad global regulatory strategy and advance our goal of bringing ARIKAYCE to patients with NTM lung disease who are in great need of new therapeutic options.”

Second Quarter Financial Results

For the second quarter of 2016, Insmed posted a net loss of $36.6 million, or $0.59 per share, compared with a net loss of $28.6 million, or $0.47 per share, for the second quarter of 2015.

Research and development expenses were $23.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to the advancement of the company’s global phase 3 CONVERT study of ARIKAYCE in NTM lung disease.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2016 were $12.3 million, compared with $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily related to pre-commercial activities, namely the buildout of the company’s infrastructure and NTM disease awareness activities, as well as an increase in headcount and related expenses.

Balance Sheet Highlights and Cash Guidance

“Observing the market changes from the beginning of the year, we are closely managing our operations resulting in cash operating expenses at the low end of our guidance for the first half of the year,” said Andy Drechsler, chief financial officer of Insmed. “We continue to ensure that mission-critical priorities, such as the phase 3 CONVERT study and other key pre-commercial activities, are fully resourced. Given our solid cash position and disciplined approached to capital allocation, we expect to execute on our operational and strategic priorities.”

As of June 30, 2016, Insmed had cash and cash equivalents of $223 million. Excluding depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, the company’s cash operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $59 million, which was at the low end of the company’s previously guided range of $58 to $68 million. Insmed ended the second quarter of 2016 with $25 million in debt and $197 million of working capital.

The company is investing in the following activities in 2016: (i) clinical development of ARIKAYCE, (ii) regulatory and pre-commercial initiatives for ARIKAYCE, and (iii) preclinical and clinical activities for its earlier-stage pipeline. Insmed expects its cash-based operating expenses for the second half of 2016 to be in the range of $62 to $72 million.
