Researchers at The University of Dundee in Scotland, UK are set to lead a clinical trial of Insmed’s brensocatib (formerly INS1007) for the treatment of Covid-19 patients.
Insmed will provide funding and supply the drug, which is being developed to treat lung inflammation in bronchiectasis and other inflammatory conditions.
