The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Insmed's oral drug for a type of lung disease, the company said on Tuesday, making it the first treatment for the chronic condition.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Insmed's daily bronchiectasis pill, brensocatib, which will be sold under the brand name Brinsupri.

Insmed’s drug Brinsupri (brensocatib) has landed a double regulatory landmark win, becoming both the first marketed dipeptidyl peptidase 1 (DPP1) inhibitor and the first therapy for non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
