At both brensocatib dose levels, the annualized rate of pulmonary exacerbations (PEs) compared to the placebo dropped statistically considerably, suggesting that the primary goal of the trial was achieved. Furthermore, a number of predetermined secondary objectives were statistically significant met.
Regulatory Path
Bensocatib, if authorized, would offer a novel method of action with potential uses across numerous neutrophil-mediated disorders. It would also be the first approved dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor and the first sanctioned therapy for bronchiectasis.
Implications And Future Research
The ASPEN research demonstrated that brensocatib had a substantial and clinically relevant therapeutic effect when compared to a placebo, highlighting the potential benefits of this experimental medication for bronchiectasis patients. A medication that can lessen exacerbations is desperately needed, as there are currently no authorized medicines for this ailment.
Being a DPP1 inhibitor first introduced, brensocatib has the potential to completely change the way bronchiectasis is managed clinically by providing a new kind of treatment for this difficult group of patients. The FDA designated brensocatib as a breakthrough therapy, and the European Medicines Agency allowed it to be used by patients with bronchiectasis under the Priority Medicines (PRIME) program.
At a future medical conference, Insmed intends to give a full presentation of the results from the ASPEN trial. Insmed is investigating the potential of brensocatib in various neutrophil-driven inflammatory disorders with substantial health costs and few available therapeutic choices, in addition to bronchiectasis.
A Phase 2 research for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is planned to start in the second half of 2024, while a trial for chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) is now under progress.
