On May 23, 2012, Insmed Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has begun screening patients for its U.S. phase 2 clinical trial, Treatment with ARIKACE to Realize Greater Efficacy Trial (TARGET-NTM), of ARIKACE® (liposomal amikacin for inhalation) in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease.
The press release also noted that NTM was an increasingly prevalent infectious disease and, according to a recent company sponsored patient chart study conducted by Clarity Pharma Research, approximately 50,000 patients suffering from NTM lung disease visited physician offices in the U.S. during 2011. More than half of these patients were treated with antibiotics for NTM. This reflects a much larger patient population than previous Insmed estimates.
A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
