Insmed Announces that FDA Does Not Currently Plan to Hold Advisory Committee Meeting to Discuss New Drug Application for Brensocatib in Patients with Bronchiectasis
—FDA Reaffirms Application is Under Priority Review with a PDUFA Target Action Date of August 12, 2025—
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Feb. 24, 2025 /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 announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has informed the Company that it does not currently plan to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the New Drug Application (NDA) for brensocatib for patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. The FDA provided this update in its Day 74 communication to Insmed.
"We are very pleased with our ongoing communications with the FDA about the NDA for brensocatib," said Martina Flammer, M.D., MBA, Chief Medical Officer of Insmed. "We are committed to working closely with the agency to successfully complete the review and potentially bring forward this much-needed treatment for patients with bronchiectasis."
The FDA had previously granted Priority Review to Insmed's NDA for brensocatib and set a target action date of August 12, 2025, under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). This NDA is based on data from the landmark ASPEN study, the largest Phase 3 study ever conducted in patients with bronchiectasis. Brensocatib has the potential to become the first and only approved treatment for bronchiectasis and the first in a new class of medicines called dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitors for the treatment of neutrophil-mediated diseases.
About Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a serious, chronic lung disease in which the bronchi become permanently dilated due to a cycle of infection, inflammation, and lung tissue damage. The condition is marked by frequent pulmonary exacerbations requiring antibiotic therapy and/or hospitalizations. Symptoms include chronic cough, excessive sputum production, shortness of breath, and repeated respiratory infections, which can worsen the underlying condition. Today, approximately 500,000 patients in the U.S., 600,000 patients in the EU5 (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and UK), and 150,000 patients in Japan have been diagnosed with bronchiectasis, and there are currently no approved therapies specifically targeting bronchiectasis in these regions.
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, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps, hidradenitis suppurativa, 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.

This move comes during a particularly favorable window for high-risk sector listings, with improved market conditions creating renewed investor appetite for growth-oriented companies. The timing of Gemini's Friday announcement appears strategically calculated. The cryptocurrency exchange's confidential IPO filing represents a significant milestone in the digital asset industry's maturation, coming at a moment when market sentiment has shifted decisively in favor of risk assets. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Circle's (NYSE:CRCL) successful public debut last week is a crucial precedent. The stablecoin issuer's 'blowout' performance demonstrates that public markets are ready to embrace well-positioned crypto companies. This success creates a demonstration effect that could encourage a wave of similar listings from digital asset firms that have been waiting on the sidelines. Timing Advantages: Market conditions have improved significantly from the crypto winter of 2022-23 Regulatory clarity has increased, reducing some uncertainty premium Institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow The successful Circle IPO has validated investor interest Potential Challenges: Crypto markets remain highly volatile, which could affect valuation Regulatory landscape continues evolving Competition from established players like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Binance Need to demonstrate sustainable revenue models beyond trading fees Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase.

Mesoblast Maintains Momentum With FDA on Accelerated Approval Pathway for Revascor® in Ischemic Heart Failure and Label Extension for Ryoncil® in Adults With GvHD
NEW YORK, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesoblast (Nasdaq:MESO; ASX:MSB), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today provided an update on continued momentum with United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding both accelerated approval pathway for Revascor® (rexlemestrocel-L) in the treatment of patients with ischemic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and inflammation, and label extension for Ryoncil® (remestemcel-L-rknd) in adults with steroid refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD). In the first week of June, Mesoblast held a Type B meeting with FDA under its Regenerative Medicines Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for REVASCOR to discuss components of a potential filing for a Biologics License Application (BLA). There was general alignment on items regarding chemistry, manufacturing & controls (CMC), potency assays for commercial product release, and proposed design and primary endpoint for the confirmatory trial post-approval. The Company will await the final minutes from FDA in order to provide detailed feedback and timelines for potential filing. In early July, Mesoblast has an upcoming meeting with FDA to discuss a pivotal trial of Ryoncil® in adults with SR-aGvHD. This trial will be conducted with the NIH-funded Bone Marrow Transplant Clinical Trials Network (BMT-CTN), the objective being to extend the product's label from children to adults with SR-aGvHD. Ryoncil® is the first and only mesenchymal stromal cell product approved by the FDA for any indication. Ryoncil® became commercially available for purchase in the United States on March 28, 2025, within one quarter of receiving FDA approval to treat children with SR-aGvHD. More than 20 transplant centers will have been onboarded by the end of the quarter, exceeding the company's expectations at product launch. Mesoblast has continued to expand coverage for Ryoncil® to over 220 million US lives insured by commercial and government payers. To date, 37 of the 51 States provide fee-for-service Medicaid coverage for Ryoncil® through Orphan Drug Lists or medical exception / prior authorization (PA) process. The remainder will come online July 1, 2025, with mandatory coverage for all 24 million lives. 'We are very pleased with the momentum of interactions with FDA on both our cardiac and GvHD programs,' said Mesoblast Chief Executive Dr. Silviu Itescu. 'We are also encouraged by the strength of the of the Ryoncil® commercial launch, the rate of hospital onboarding, physician adoption, and payor coverage exceeding our expectations in the ten weeks since commercial launch. We will be providing an update on sales of Ryoncil® in our quarterly activities report at the end of next month.'
