Expert Interview

Slingshot members are talking to an expert! The topic is:

Reviewing Phase 2b Results of Treprostinil Palmitil Inhalation Powder (TPIP) for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension from Insmed

Ticker(s): INSM

Who's the expert?

A pulmonologist or cardiologist with clinical expertise in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), familiar with prostanoid therapies, cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and the evaluation of inhalation-based drug delivery. Ideally, the expert has served as a principal investigator in multicenter trials and can contextualize TPIP's performance against current standards of care.

Interview Questions
Q1.

The study showed a statistically significant 35% placebo-adjusted reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). How clinically meaningful is this change for a PAH patient population, and what does it suggest about TPIP’s hemodynamic impact?

Q2.

An improvement of 35.5 meters in six-minute walk distance (6MWD) was observed versus placebo. How do you interpret this in light of current therapeutic benchmarks, and how might this affect patients’ daily function or prognosis?

Q3.

A 60% reduction in NT-proBNP levels was reported for TPIP-treated patients. Given its use as a biomarker for cardiac strain, how confident can we be in translating this into long-term cardiovascular benefit?

Q4.

TPIP’s once-daily dosing and sustained efficacy over a 24-hour window are emphasized in the trial. In your experience, how might this simplify disease management and improve adherence compared to other prostanoids?

Q5.

75% of patients titrated successfully to the highest dose (640 µg). What does this level of up-titration suggest about TPIP’s tolerability profile, and how does it compare with more traditional prostanoid formulations?

Q6.

While most TEAEs were mild and expected for prostanoids—cough, headache, flushing—how would you assess the overall safety profile of TPIP in contrast to inhaled treprostinil or IV options?

Added By: slingshot_insights
Q7.

“Given these encouraging Phase 2b results, what considerations should be prioritized when designing the Phase 3 trials—particularly in terms of endpoints, patient selection, or dosing strategy?

Added By: slingshot_insights
Q8.

If TPIP proves successful in Phase 3, where do you envision it fitting within the PAH treatment algorithm—alongside oral agents, replacing existing inhaled options, or even as a preferred early intervention?
