"I am pleased with the progress the Company is making across multiple ongoing initiatives this quarter." said Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Insmed. "We remain on track to file our NDA for brensocatib in the fourth quarter of 2024 and continue to expect a potential U.S. launch in the middle of 2025. We have also made great progress on the clinical side, with the ENCORE and PAH studies nearing full enrollment. All of this has been accomplished while delivering yet another quarter of double-digit growth for ARIKAYCE in each of our three commercial regions. With our demonstrated ability to execute both clinically and commercially, and a strengthened balance sheet due to actions we have taken to lower our cost of capital while adding to our cash balance, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver on the tremendous opportunities ahead." Recent Pillar Highlights Pillar 1: ARIKAYCE ARIKAYCE global revenue grew 18% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the third quarter of 2023, reflecting an all-time revenue high and double-digit year-over-year growth in the U.S., Japan, and Europe and rest of world. Insmed has closed screening of new patients for the ENCORE study and is now expected to exceed its target enrollment of 400 patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung infection who have not started antibiotics. The Company is scheduled to meet with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the fourth quarter to discuss the possibility of an accelerated approval to expand the label for ARIKAYCE to include all patients with MAC lung infection, based on the positive Phase 3 ARISE trial data. Insmed continues to expect that the full data from the ongoing ENCORE trial will be required for approval. Pillar 2: Brensocatib Insmed remains on track to file a New Drug Application (NDA) with the FDA for brensocatib in patients with bronchiectasis in the fourth quarter of 2024. If priority review is granted and brensocatib is approved, Insmed anticipates a U.S. launch in mid-2025. Launches in Europe and Japan are expected in the first half of 2026, pending approvals. New subpopulation data from 19 pre-specified categories of patients in the ASPEN study were presented in October 2024 at the American College of Chest Physicians Annual Meeting in Boston. The annualized rate of pulmonary exacerbations favored brensocatib at both the 10 mg and 25 mg doses over placebo for almost all subgroups. In a separate analysis, least squares mean difference for brensocatib 25 mg demonstrated a reduced decline in post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) at Week 52 versus placebo for all prespecified subgroups. Insmed is advancing launch readiness activities in the U.S. and has hired, trained, and deployed 120 additional therapeutic sales specialists in advance of launch, focused on bronchiectasis disease-state awareness with an expanded group of pulmonologists while also supporting the growth of ARIKAYCE. The Company continues to enroll patients in the Phase 2b BiRCh trial of brensocatib in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and anticipates providing top-line data from the study in the second half of 2025. The Company is preparing to activate the first U.S. clinical site for its Phase 2 study of brensocatib in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) by the end of 2024. Pillar 3: TPIP Enrollment remains ongoing in the Phase 2 study of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with more than 90% of the target enrollment currently complete. Insmed remains on track to report topline results from the PAH study in the second half of 2025. The Company continues to anticipate initiating a Phase 3 study of TPIP in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) in the second half of 2025. Pillar 4: Early-Stage Research Insmed's early-stage research efforts include more than 30 identified pre-clinical programs in development, all of which have the potential to become first-in-class or best-in-class therapies. The Company continues to anticipate the totality of its early-stage research programs will comprise less than 20% of overall spend. Corporate Updates Insmed has taken the following actions intended to further strengthen its balance sheet and financial position: (i) During the third quarter of 2024, the Company completed the redemption of its $225 million convertible notes due in January 2025. Insmed issued approximately 5.7 million shares of common stock in connection with the redemption and earlier conversions of notes. (ii) The Company raised an additional $371 million in net proceeds under its at-the-market equity offering program during the third quarter, at an average sales price of $75.64 per share. (iii) In October 2024, Insmed entered into an agreement to amend its $350 million term loan with investment funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP. Under the terms of the amended agreement, investment funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors, LP will provide an additional $150 million in proceeds, to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024. The maturity date for the full principal amount was extended to 2029, and will carry a reduced fixed-interest rate in the high-single digits. In October 2024, Insmed announced that it has earned the No. 1 ranking in Science's 2024 Top Employers Survey, marking the fourth consecutive year in which Insmed achieved the top ranking. The annual survey polls employees in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and related industries to determine the 20 best employers, as well as their driving characteristics. Third-Quarter 2024 Financial Results Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, was $93.4 million, reflecting 18% year-over-year growth compared to total revenue of $79.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. Total revenue for third-quarter 2024 included ARIKAYCE net sales of $66.9 million in the U.S., $21.0 million in Japan, and $5.6 million in Europe and rest of world. Third-quarter 2024 sales demonstrated year-over-year growth of 13% in the U.S., 31% in Japan, and 45% in Europe and rest of world, reflecting continued growth trends for ARIKAYCE in these regions. Cost of product revenues (excluding amortization of intangibles) was $21.2 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $16.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting increased sales volumes of ARIKAYCE. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $150.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $109.1 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in R&D expenses was primarily driven by increases in manufacturing and compensation and benefit-related expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $118.9 million, compared to $90.6 million for the third quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses resulted primarily from increases in compensation and benefit-related expenses and stock-based compensation costs due to an increase in headcount associated with launch readiness activities for brensocatib. For the third quarter of 2024, Insmed reported a net loss of $220.5 million, or $1.27 per share, compared to a net loss of $158.9 million, or $1.11 per share, for the third quarter of 2023. Balance Sheet, Financial Guidance, and Planned Investments As of September 30, 2024, Insmed had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaling $1,467.9 million. Insmed is reiterating its guidance for full-year 2024 global ARIKAYCE revenues in the range of $340 million to $360 million, representing 15% year-over-year growth at the midpoint compared to 2023. Insmed continues to anticipate that over 80% of total expenditures will be on its clinical and commercial programs, and that less than 20% of overall spend will be on its early-stage research programs, reflecting the Company's historical approach to spending. The Company plans to continue to invest in the following key activities in 2024: (i) commercialization and continued growth of ARIKAYCE in its current indication globally, as well as advancement of the clinical trial program intended to potentially support label expansion to include all patients with a MAC lung infection and to satisfy the post-marketing requirement for full approval of its current indication; (ii) advancement of brensocatib, including: a. activities related to regulatory filing and commercial launch readiness for bronchiectasis and b. the ongoing Phase 2 BiRCh trial in patients with CRSsNP and the anticipated Phase 2 program in HS; (iii) advancement of its clinical development programs for TPIP; and (iv) development of its early-stage research programs.

About ARIKAYCE ARIKAYCE is approved in the United States as ARIKAYCE® (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension), in Europe as ARIKAYCE® Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion, and in Japan as ARIKAYCE® inhalation 590 mg (amikacin sulfate inhalation drug product). Current international treatment guidelines recommend the use of ARIKAYCE for appropriate patients. ARIKAYCE is a novel, inhaled, once-daily formulation of amikacin, an established antibiotic that was historically administered intravenously and associated with severe toxicity to hearing, balance, and kidney function. Insmed's proprietary PULMOVANCE® liposomal technology enables the delivery of amikacin directly to the lungs, where liposomal amikacin is taken up by lung macrophages where the infection resides, while limiting systemic exposure. ARIKAYCE is administered once daily using the Lamira® Nebulizer System manufactured by PARI Pharma GmbH (PARI). About PARI Pharma and the Lamira® Nebulizer System ARIKAYCE is delivered by a novel inhalation device, the Lamira® Nebulizer System, developed by PARI. Lamira® is a quiet, portable nebulizer that enables efficient aerosolization of ARIKAYCE via a vibrating, perforated membrane. Based on PARI's 100-year history working with aerosols, PARI is dedicated to advancing inhalation therapies by developing innovative delivery platforms to improve patient care. 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, CRSsNP, 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. About TPIP Treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP) is a dry powder formulation of treprostinil palmitil, a treprostinil prodrug consisting of treprostinil linked by an ester bond to a 16-carbon chain. Developed entirely in Insmed's laboratories, TPIP is a potentially highly differentiated prostanoid being evaluated for the treatment of patients with PAH, PH-ILD, and other rare and serious pulmonary disorders. TPIP is administered in a capsule-based inhalation device. TPIP is an investigational drug product that has not been approved for any indication in any jurisdiction. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND BOXED WARNING FOR ARIKAYCE IN THE U.S. Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (reported as allergic alveolitis, pneumonitis, interstitial lung disease, allergic reaction to ARIKAYCE) was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (3.1%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (0%). Most patients with hypersensitivity pneumonitis discontinued treatment with ARIKAYCE and received treatment with corticosteroids. If hypersensitivity pneumonitis occurs, discontinue ARIKAYCE and manage patients as medically appropriate. Hemoptysis has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Hemoptysis was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (17.9%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (12.5%). If hemoptysis occurs, manage patients as medically appropriate. Bronchospasm has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Bronchospasm (reported as asthma, bronchial hyperreactivity, bronchospasm, dyspnea, dyspnea exertional, prolonged expiration, throat tightness, wheezing) was reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (28.7%) compared to patients treated with a background regimen alone (10.7%). If bronchospasm occurs during the use of ARIKAYCE, treat patients as medically appropriate. Exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease (reported as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), infective exacerbation of COPD, infective exacerbation of bronchiectasis) have been reported at a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (14.8%) compared to patients treated with background regimen alone (9.8%). If exacerbations of underlying pulmonary disease occur during the use of ARIKAYCE, treat patients as medically appropriate. Anaphylaxis and Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious and potentially life-threatening hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported in patients taking ARIKAYCE. Signs and symptoms include acute onset of skin and mucosal tissue hypersensitivity reactions (hives, itching, flushing, swollen lips/tongue/uvula), respiratory difficulty (shortness of breath, wheezing, stridor, cough), gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain), and cardiovascular signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis (tachycardia, low blood pressure, syncope, incontinence, dizziness). Before therapy with ARIKAYCE is instituted, evaluate for previous hypersensitivity reactions to aminoglycosides. If anaphylaxis or a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue ARIKAYCE and institute appropriate supportive measures. Ototoxicity has been reported with the use of ARIKAYCE in the clinical trials. Ototoxicity (including deafness, dizziness, presyncope, tinnitus, and vertigo) were reported with a higher frequency in patients treated with ARIKAYCE plus background regimen (17%) compared to patients treated with background regimen alone (9.8%). This was primarily driven by tinnitus (7.6% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs 0.9% in the background regimen alone arm) and dizziness (6.3% in ARIKAYCE plus background regimen vs 2.7% in the background regimen alone arm). Closely monitor patients with known or suspected auditory or vestibular dysfunction during treatment with ARIKAYCE. If ototoxicity occurs, manage patients as medically appropriate, including potentially discontinuing ARIKAYCE. Nephrotoxicity was observed during the clinical trials of ARIKAYCE in patients with MAC lung disease but not at a higher frequency than background regimen alone. Nephrotoxicity has been associated with the aminoglycosides. Close monitoring of patients with known or suspected renal dysfunction may be needed when prescribing ARIKAYCE. Neuromuscular Blockade: Patients with neuromuscular disorders were not enrolled in ARIKAYCE clinical trials. Patients with known or suspected neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis, should be closely monitored since aminoglycosides may aggravate muscle weakness by blocking the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions. Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Aminoglycosides can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Aminoglycosides, including ARIKAYCE, may be associated with total, irreversible, bilateral congenital deafness in pediatric patients exposed in utero. Patients who use ARIKAYCE during pregnancy, or become pregnant while taking ARIKAYCE should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus. Contraindications: ARIKAYCE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any aminoglycoside. Most Common Adverse Reactions: The most common adverse reactions in Trial 1 at an incidence ≥5% for patients using ARIKAYCE plus background regimen compared to patients treated with background regimen alone were dysphonia (47% vs 1%), cough (39% vs 17%), bronchospasm (29% vs 11%), hemoptysis (18% vs 13%), ototoxicity (17% vs 10%), upper airway irritation (17% vs 2%), musculoskeletal pain (17% vs 8%), fatigue and asthenia (16% vs 10%), exacerbation of underlying pulmonary disease (15% vs 10%), diarrhea (13% vs 5%), nausea (12% vs 4%), pneumonia (10% vs 8%), headache (10% vs 5%), pyrexia (7% vs 5%), vomiting (7% vs 4%), rash (6% vs 2%), decreased weight (6% vs 1%), change in sputum (5% vs 1%), and chest discomfort (5% vs 3%). Drug Interactions: Avoid concomitant use of ARIKAYCE with medications associated with neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and ototoxicity. Some diuretics can enhance aminoglycoside toxicity by altering aminoglycoside concentrations in serum and tissue. Avoid concomitant use of ARIKAYCE with ethacrynic acid, furosemide, urea, or intravenous mannitol. Overdosage: Adverse reactions specifically associated with overdose of ARIKAYCE have not been identified. Acute toxicity should be treated with immediate withdrawal of ARIKAYCE, and baseline tests of renal function should be undertaken. Hemodialysis may be helpful in removing amikacin from the body. In all cases of suspected overdosage, physicians should contact the Regional Poison Control Center for information about effective treatment.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesoblast Limited (Nasdaq:MESO; ASX:MSB), global leader in allogeneic cellular medicines for inflammatory diseases, today provided highlights of its recent activities for the first quarter ended September 30, 2024. Mesoblast Chief Executive Silviu Itescu said: “We have had an extremely busy and productive quarter starting right from the outset with the filing of our Biologics License Application (BLA) with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of Ryoncil® (remestemcel-L) in the treatment of children with steroid-refractory acute graft versus host disease (SR-aGvHD). We continue to be engaged in active and ongoing interactions with the agency as part of the review process. We are anticipating a decision prior to or on the FDA’s Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of January 7, 2025.” “During the period we put in place a strategic financing to ensure that the Company is well capitalized for a commercial launch of RYONCIL. This has been structured as a convertible note subscription agreement with our largest shareholder for issue, at Mesoblast’s sole discretion, up to US$50.0 million convertible notes following approval of RYONCIL by FDA. At the same time, we have maintained a strong focus on our cost control with net operating spend for the period of US$10.5 million, down 26% on the prior corresponding quarter.” “I look forward to providing an update at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) on November 15th 12.00 noon AEDT (November 14th 8.00pm EST).” KEY HIGHLIGHTS Ryoncil® (Remestemcel-L) for Steroid-Refractory Acute Graft Versus Host Disease – Potential FDA Approval There are no approved treatments for children under 12 with steroid-refractory acute GvHD, making approval of a safe and effective treatment for this vulnerable population the most urgent need.Mesoblast resubmitted its BLA to FDA for approval of RYONCIL on July 8, 2024 and anticipates a decision prior to or on the FDA’s Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of January 7, 2025.FDA has already conducted the Pre-License Inspection (PLI) of the manufacturing process for RYONCIL in May 2023 and this did not result in the issuance of any Form 483.Inventory has been manufactured and there is an established supply chain to ensure cryopreserved product is available for delivery to meet the needs of each site immediately post approval, with ability to scale up as necessary going forward.We have been working diligently to lay the groundwork for a successful launch of RYONCIL, including hiring select senior positions to implement a targeted commercial strategy since 50% of pediatric transplants are performed at just 15 centers.Post approval implementation will initially target those centers with greatest experience using the RYONCIL product and highest volume, with staged rollout beyond. Revascor® (Rexlemestrocel-L) for Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease - Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Earlier this year, FDA granted Mesoblast’s second generation allogeneic, STRO3-immunoselected, and industrially manufactured stromal cell product REVASCOR both Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) and Orphan-Drug Designation (ODD) for treatment of children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition. Results from a blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled prospective trial of REVASCOR conducted in the United States in children with HLHS were published in the December 2023 issue of the peer reviewed The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Open (JTCVS Open).1 A single intramyocardial administration of REVASCOR at the time of staged surgery resulted in the desired outcome of significantly larger increases in left ventricular (LV) end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes over 12 months compared with controls as measured by 3D echocardiography (p=0.009 & p=0.020 respectively).These changes are indicative of clinically important growth of the small left ventricle, facilitating the ability to have a successful surgical correction, known as full biventricular (BiV) conversion, which allows for a normal two ventricle circulation.Without full BiV conversion the right heart chamber is under excessive strain with increased risk of heart failure, liver cirrhosis, and death.RPDD demonstrates that the disease is serious or life-threatening and the manifestations primarily affect individuals aged from birth to 18 years, including age groups often called neonates, infants, children, and adolescents, and that the disease is a rare disease or condition.On FDA approval of a BLA for REVASCOR for the treatment of HLHS, Mesoblast may be eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) that can be redeemed for any subsequent marketing application or may be sold or transferred to a third party.Mesoblast plans to meet with FDA to discuss the clinical data to support regulatory approval for REVASCOR in children with this life-threatening condition. REVASCOR for Chronic Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF) and Persistent Inflammation In March FDA informed Mesoblast that it supports an accelerated approval pathway for its second generation allogeneic, STRO3-immunoselected, and industrially manufactured stromal cell product REVASCOR, for patients with end-stage ischemic HFrEF kept alive with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).This followed presentation to FDA of the results of two complementary randomized controlled trials of REVASCOR, one in patients with end-stage HFrEF and LVADs and a second in advanced NYHA class II/III HFrEF patients.Mesoblast has received RMAT designation for rexlemestrocel-L in the treatment of end-stage heart failure in LVAD patients and intends to meet with FDA, after the meeting on HLHS, to discuss data presentation, timing and FDA expectations for an accelerated approval filing in these patients. Rexlemestrocel-L for Chronic Low Back Pain associated with Degenerative Disc Disease – Phase 3 Program The confirmatory Phase 3 trial of Mesoblast’s second generation allogeneic, STRO3-immunoselected, and industrially manufactured stromal cell product rexlemestrocel-L in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) due to inflammatory degenerative disc disease (DDD) of less than five years duration has commenced enrollment at multiple sites across the United States. FDA has previously agreed on the design of this 300-patient randomized, placebo-controlled confirmatory Phase 3 trial, and the 12-month primary endpoint of pain reduction as an approvable indication.This endpoint was successfully met in Mesoblast’s first Phase 3 trial.Key secondary measures include improvement in quality of life and function.A particular focus is on treatment of patients on opioids, since discogenic back pain accounts for approximately 50% of prescription opioid usage in the US.Significant pain reduction and opioid cessation were observed in Mesoblast’s first Phase 3 trial.FDA has designated rexlemestrocel-L a Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) for the treatment of chronic low back pain. RMAT designation provides all the benefits of Breakthrough and Fast Track designations, including rolling review and eligibility for priority review on filing of a BLA. FINANCIAL REPORT We have continued our disciplined financial management strategy focused on ensuring that we are well-positioned to execute our clinical, manufacturing, and commercialization plans while maintaining conservative fiscal practices. The successful implementation of our cost containment plan over the past 12 months and the re-prioritization of projects has enabled us to reduce cash expenditure whilst still making significant strides forward on key programs as outlined above. To ensure that the Company is well capitalized for a commercial launch of RYONCIL, we recently entered into a convertible note subscription agreement with our largest shareholder for issue, at Mesoblast’s sole discretion, up to US$50.0 million convertible notes following approval of RYONCIL by FDA. First Quarter Results Cash balance at September 30, 2024 is US$51.1 million, with additional US$60.0 million available from existing financing facilities on RYONCIL approval.Net operating cash spend of US$10.5 million for the first quarter FY2025. 26% (US$3.7 million) reduction in net operating cash spend for the first quarter FY2025 versus the prior comparative quarter in FY2024. Other Fees to Non-Executive Directors were nil, consulting payments to Non-Executive Director were US$40,000 and salary payments to full-time Executive Directors were US$231,552, detailed in Item 6 of the Appendix 4C cash flow report for the quarter.2 From 1 August 2024, Non-Executive directors have voluntarily deferred 50% cash payment of their director fees and agreed to receive the remaining 50% of their fees in equity-based incentives and Executive Directors (our Chief Executive and Chief Medical Officers) have voluntarily reduced their base salaries for FY25 by 30% in lieu of accepting equity-based incentives. A copy of the Appendix 4C – Quarterly Cash Flow Report for the first quarter FY2025 is available on the investor page of the company’s website www.mesoblast.com.
