You did not tag with any tool or prgramming language, but you did tag with regex replacement. Assuming you can do a regex replacement, use the following find and replace:
Find: \s*\{.*?\}\s*
Replace: (single space)
The regex replacement strategy is to remove all terms in curly braces. Note that you might also need to trim whitespace from the start/end, as the above replacement could leave dangling whitespace there.
Here is a working regex demo.
If you can't do a replacement, you could try finding on the following regex pattern:
(?<=[^\S{])\w [,;:.]?(?: \w [,;:.]?(?=[^\S}]))*
This matches one or more terms, possibly separated by punctuation. It insists that the first and last term are not surrounded by {...}.

Using a negative lookahead and possessive quantifier:
[^}{] (?!\})
[^}{]matches any character besides the braces(?!\})only match those not followed by a closing brace
