Key Product and Pipeline Highlights

Products

Vanda is encouraged by its record commercial performance during the second quarter of 2020. Vanda continues to implement marketing and sales strategies aimed at supporting continued growth and minimizing the impact of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, including the launch of a Fanapt(®) for schizophrenia direct-to-consumer campaign at the end of the second quarter of 2020.

Pipeline

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted clinical research globally, including Vanda's previously reported clinical trials. The tradipitant gastroparesis and motion sickness programs have resumed, while recruitment for the tradipitant atopic dermatitis program, as well as the HETLIOZ(®) delayed sleep phase disorder study and Fanapt(®) bipolar disorder and long acting injectable studies, is currently on hold.

Tradipitant

    --  An Individual Patient Expanded Access protocol (VP-VLY-686-3303) for
        tradipitant in gastroparesis was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
        Administration (FDA) and the patient was enrolled in July 2020. Under
        this protocol, this patient will receive tradipitant treatment for a
        period of up to six months, which may be extended upon review by the
        FDA.
    --  The gastroparesis Phase III clinical study (VP-VLY-686-3301) resumed
        recruitment. Enrollment in this 200-person study is expected to be
        completed in the first half of 2021 with a New Drug Application (NDA)
        filing projected for later that year.
    --  The protocol for the pivotal Phase III motion sickness study was
        discussed with the FDA at the end of Phase II meeting, and the FDA
        agrees with the adequacy of the program design to support an
        application. Preparations for this study have begun with the boat trip
        portion of the study expected to commence as soon as local restrictions
        are lifted.
    --  Patient enrollment in the Phase III clinical study (ODYSSEY
        VLY-686-3501) of tradipitant in COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress
        Syndrome (ARDS) is ongoing and an interim analysis will be conducted to
        determine next steps.

HETLIOZ(®) (tasimelteon)

    --  The Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) marketing authorization applications
        were accepted by the FDA for priority review with a Prescription Drug
        User Fee Act (PDUFA-VI) target action date of December 1, 2020.(1)
    --  The FDA appeals process related to the sNDA for HETLIOZ(®) for the
        treatment of jet lag disorder is ongoing.

Key Publications

    --  The article "Efficacy and Safety of Tradipitant in Patients with
        Diabetic and Idiopathic Gastroparesis in a Randomized,
        Placebo-Controlled Trial" was accepted for publication in the July 2020
        issue of Gastroenterology.(2)
    --  The article "Efficacy of Tasimelteon (HETLIOZ(®)) in the Treatment of
        Jet Lag Disorder Evaluated in an 8-h Phase Advance Model; a Multicenter,
        Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial" was published in the
