Brensocatib Shows Consistent Efficacy and Safety Across Three Prespecified Subgroups in New Data from Landmark ASPEN Study

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., May 21, 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, presented 11 new abstracts at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025 International Conference, which took place May 18-21 in San Francisco, including three prespecified subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 ASPEN trial of brensocatib in non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE), signaling the consistency of efficacy and safety outcomes across diverse clinical profiles.

"It is critical that we understand not only how brensocatib performed across the full ASPEN population, but also how it works within individual subgroups," said James D. Chalmers, MBChB, Ph.D., Professor of Respiratory Research, University of Dundee. "These new analyses offer evidence of consistent efficacy and safety in key patient types—including adolescents aged 12 and older, those receiving macrolide therapy, and individuals with various blood eosinophil levels—reinforcing the potential of brensocatib as a foundational treatment for this complex and heterogeneous disease."

ASPEN Study Prespecified Subgroup AnalysesThree prespecified subgroup analyses from ASPEN showed brensocatib reduced pulmonary exacerbations, prolonged time to first exacerbation, and reduced lung function decline compared with placebo with a similar safety profile as the overall trial in the following populations:

• Adolescents: In adolescents, brensocatib 10 mg and 25 mg reduced annualized exacerbation rates vs placebo (annualized rates: 0.35 and 0.64 vs 0.87), with 59% of patients in both dose groups remaining exacerbation-free vs 35% on placebo. Adolescent patients also experienced improvements in lung function as measured by forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁), while on either dose of brensocatib, while patients in the placebo group experienced FEV1 decline.
• Maintenance macrolide use: Brensocatib demonstrated efficacy in patients regardless of maintenance use of macrolides (without vs with). Annualized exacerbation rates were lower with brensocatib (10 mg: 0.97/1.21; 25 mg: 0.98/1.21) vs placebo (1.23/1.54), and a greater proportion remained exacerbation-free across subgroups. Brensocatib 25 mg also reduced FEV₁ decline in both subgroups.
• Blood eosinophil level: Brensocatib 10 mg and 25 mg reduced annualized exacerbation rates, prolonged the time to first exacerbation, and increased the odds of remaining exacerbation-free in both subgroups of patients with high (≥300/mm3) or low (
