"I am pleased to report
on a very productive third quarter for Insmed as we made significant progress across our programs while maintaining ARIKAYCE performance
in the U.S. amidst the ongoing pandemic," commented Will Lewis, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Insmed. "Driven
by the efforts of a world-class team, we reached several critical milestones for ARIKAYCE, including marketing authorization in
the European Union, approval of an sNDA that adds meaningful efficacy data to our U.S. label, and continued advancement of our
frontline clinical program. Importantly, we also advanced plans to initiate a global, registrational Phase 3 study of brensocatib
in NCFBE and initiated a Phase 1 study of TPIP. As we look ahead to 2021, we believe we are well-positioned to carry this momentum
forward and execute on our goals."

Recent Corporate Developments
& Program Highlights
ARIKAYCE Global Advancement
On October 28, 2020, Insmed announced
that the European Commission (EC) had granted marketing authorization for ARIKAYCE Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion for the
treatment of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in adults with
limited treatment options who do not have cystic fibrosis (CF). Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate
use of antibacterial agents. The Company plans to launch ARIKAYCE first in Germany, with the United Kingdom and other European
markets to follow, subject to local reimbursement processes.
In Japan, Insmed continues to
anticipate launching ARIKAYCE in the middle of 2021, pending approval of its new drug application for the treatment of patients
with NTM lung disease caused by MAC who did not sufficiently respond to prior treatment.
ARIKAYCE Label Expansion
On October 19, 2020, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an sNDA for ARIKAYCE, adding important efficacy data regarding the durability and
sustainability of culture conversion to the ARIKAYCE label. The data, which are from the Phase 3 CONVERT study of ARIKAYCE, demonstrate
that the addition of ARIKAYCE to guideline-based therapy (GBT) was associated with sustained culture conversion through the end
of treatment as well as durable culture conversion three months post-treatment compared with GBT alone.
Insmed also continues to advance
plans to pursue regulatory approval of ARIKAYCE as a front-line therapy for patients with MAC lung disease. The Company plans
to initiate two clinical trials in the fourth quarter of 2020 that will be conducted in parallel: ENCORE, a pivotal study intended
to fulfill the post-marketing requirement to allow full approval of ARIKAYCE in the U.S., and ARISE, an interventional study designed
to validate the patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool that will be used to measure efficacy in ENCORE.
Brensocatib Advancement
In September 2020, data from
the Phase 2 WILLOW study of brensocatib in patients with NCFBE were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine
and presented during a late-breaking session at the European Respiratory Society International Congress 2020.
Insmed remains on track to initiate
its planned registrational Phase 3 ASPEN trial of brensocatib in patients with NCFBE by the end of 2020. The Company has also
announced plans to advance a clinical development program for brensocatib in patients with CF.
In September 2020, Insmed announced
that it had initiated a Phase 1 healthy volunteer trial of TPIP in the United States. The objective of this first-in-human single
ascending dose and multiple ascending dose study is to assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerability profile of TPIP. Four dosing
strengths have now been completed. Top-line data from the full Phase 1 study are expected in the first quarter of 2021 and the
Company has announced plans to initiate a Phase 2a study in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in early 2021.
As of September 30, 2020, Insmed had
cash and cash equivalents of $588.8 million. The Company's total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $89.2
million. Adjusted operating expenses, a non-GAAP measure defined below, for the third quarter of 2020 were $76.8 million.
The Company plans to continue
investing in the following key activities in 2020:
(i) U.S. commercialization of ARIKAYCE;
(ii) clinical trial activities, including (a) initiation of ENCORE, the pivotal study intended to allow full approval of ARIKAYCE in the U.S. and, in parallel, ARISE, the interventional study to validate the PRO tool that will be used in ENCORE, (b) initiation of the Phase 3 ASPEN study of brensocatib in patients with NCFBE, and (c) the advancement of TPIP; and
(iii) expansion in Japan and Europe to support pre-commercial activities for ARIKAYCE in Japan and launch activities for ARIKAYCE in initial European countries.

is approved in the United States as ARIKAYCE (amikacin liposome inhalation suspension) and in the EU as ARIKAYCE
Liposomal 590 mg Nebuliser Dispersion. 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
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 and new pharmaceutical formulations that work together to improve patient care.
Brensocatib is a small molecule,
oral, reversible inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) being developed by Insmed for the treatment of patients with non-cystic
fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) 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.
