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)
