Arikace®
Update on Clinical Hold
Insmed announced in October 2011 that the FDA is continuing the clinical hold placed
in August 2011 on the Phase 3 clinical trials for Arikace in CF and NTM. The Agency
stated that based on the information provided to date it has insufficient information
to assess the risks of Arikace in CF and NTM patients following the results of a long
term rat inhalation study.
Agency has requested that Insmed conduct a 9-month inhalation dog toxicity study of Arikace
to determine if the findings in the rat inhalation carcinogenicity study are also demonstrated
in a non-rodent model, and to identify a more targeted CF patient population/disease state
where the risk profile of Arikace may be more favourable
Insmed was informed during further dialogue with the Agency that, if the Company chooses to
proceed, the required 9-month dog inhalation toxicity study of ARIKACE can be conducted in
parallel with the CF phase 3 clinical trials in human subjects
FDA is requiring that Insmed conduct a phase 2 clinical trial in
adult NTM patients intended to
provide proof-of-concept efficacy and safety data for ARIKACE in NTM before the Company can
proceed with a phase 3 clinical trial.
Based on the efficacy and safety data generated from the Phase 2
clinical trial program,
Insmed continues to believe Arikace®
has the potential to be an important treatment option
for CF and NTM patients
Insmed continuing with evaluation of potential next steps with ARIKACE program

Arikace®: Amikacin Summary
Amikacin is an FDA-approved antibiotic with proven efficacy in the
treatment of gram-negative infections, including Pseudomonas and NTM
Member of the aminoglycoside
class of antibiotics
The value of the IV use has been
limited by issues of nephro-
toxicity and ototoxicity
Arikace (liposomal amikacin for inhalation) delivers high, sustained levels of drug to
the lung while reducing systemic exposure to well below established toxicity levels


5
Arikace: Proprietary Liposomal Formulation
Engineered Specifically for Lung Delivery
Prolonged lung residence time
Minimal systemic exposure
Biofilm penetration
Preferential uptake into macrophages 
Benefit
Arikace delivers the potency of Amikacin at the site of lung infection while
minimizing potential systemic toxicity
Potential
for
greater
efficacy
Addresses safety concerns

Arikace—Cystic Fibrosis
Epidemiology and Disease Description
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening disease with significant unmet needs
that is growing in prevalence
Affects about 30,000 children
and adults in the U.S. (70,000
worldwide)
Inherited disease that causes
thick, sticky mucus to build up
in the lungs
Despite expanded use of current
products, lung function often
continues to decline
High treatment burden
major compliance issue

Arikace—Cystic Fibrosis
Need for New Inhaled Antibiotics
Current inhaled antibiotics produce modest efficacy in a limited
patient
population providing an opportunity for Arikace to become first-line
treatment
Current inhaled antibiotics are not indicated for a significant segment of
the CF population --
patients with FEV-1 % predicted of greater than 75%
Efficacy of current inhaled antibiotics declines from cycle to cycle and is
not sustained in the off-treatment period
Lung function continues to decline at an average of 1% to 3% per
year with
some patients experiencing much greater declines

Arikace—Non-TB Mycobacteria
Phase 2 Program (pending FDA review and lifting of clinical hold)
Trial Design and Patient Population:
Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled phase 2 study in patients with
recalcitrant/persistent NTM lung disease who are on a stable ATS/IDSA
guidelines-based multi-drug treatment regimen
Patients receive Arikace or placebo daily for 84 days; then all patients can
receive Arikace 560 mg in an open-label manner for an additional 84 days
Key Inclusion Criteria:  History of chronic infection with either Mycobacterium avium
complex or Mycobacterium abscessus or mixed infection with both species
Primary endpoint:  Change in mycobacterial culture results from baseline to end of
