Insmed is discontinuing its development of brensocatib after a Phase 2b study found that the chronic rhinosinusitis treatment failed to meet its primary or secondary efficacy endpoints.
The Bridgewater, N.J.-based pharmaceutical company also said Wednesday that it was acquiring INS1148, an investigational monoclonal antibody that could be used to treat respiratory, immunological, and inflammatory conditions.
Insmed said it plans to launch Phase 2 development programs to study INS1148 in treating interstitial lung disease and moderate-to-severe asthma.
The antibody treatment was first developed by Opsidio, a clinical-stage private pharmaceutical company.
