Key Product and Pipeline Highlights
Products
Vanda is encouraged by the strength of its commercial performance during the third quarter of 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 Fanapt(®) for schizophrenia direct-to-consumer campaign, which was launched at the end of the second quarter of 2020.
Pipeline
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted clinical research globally, including some of Vanda's previously reported clinical trials. The tradipitant gastroparesis program has resumed patient enrollment, while randomization for the tradipitant motion sickness and atopic dermatitis programs, as well as the Fanapt(®) bipolar disorder and long acting injectable studies, is currently on hold.
Tradipitant
-- The gastroparesis Phase III clinical study (VP-VLY-686-3301) is ongoing.
The study reached 50% enrollment towards a target of 200 randomized
patients and is expected to complete enrollment in the first half of
2021 with a New Drug Application (NDA) filing projected for later that
year.
-- Interim analysis from the Phase III clinical study (ODYSSEY
VLY-686-3501) shows that tradipitant may accelerate clinical improvement
in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.(1) Vanda continues to recruit
patients for this study.
HETLIOZ(®) (tasimelteon)
-- The Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS) marketing authorization applications
were accepted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
priority review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-VI) target
action date of December 1, 2020.(2)
VSJ-110 (previously known as CFTR(act)-K267)
-- The Investigational New Drug (IND) application to evaluate Cystic
Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) activator VSJ-110
for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis was approved by the FDA.(3)
Key Publications
-- The article "Tradipitant in the Treatment of Motion Sickness: A
Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study" was published in the
September 2020 issue of Frontiers in Neurology.(4)
