Item 9.     Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 2, 2003, Insmed Incorporated ("Insmed" or the "Company") issued a press
release announcing its financial results for the three months ended March 31,
2003. A copy of this press release is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.

The announcement includes disclosure of the Company's average monthly cash burn
rate (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for certain periods with a
reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes that, for a
development-stage company such as Insmed, the cash burn rate is a critical
measure of health and directly determines the Company's ability to continue
operations, implement the Company's growth strategy and get the Company's lead
drug candidate to market.

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release attached hereto are being
furnished by the Company pursuant to Item 12 of Form 8-K, in accordance with SEC
Release Nos. 33-8216; 34-47583, insofar as they disclose historical information
regarding the Company's results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 2003.

In accordance with General Instruction B.6 of Form 8-K, the information in this
Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed"
for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be
deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
a filing.



                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
