We recorded a higher number of HETLIOZ® prescription dispenses in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the first quarter of 2023, a testament to our dedication to our patient services and the loyalty of our patients," said Mihael H. Polymeropoulos, M.D., Vanda's President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "We also advanced towards our goal of marketing authorizations for Fanapt® in bipolar disorder, HETLIOZ® in insomnia and tradipitant in patients with gastroparesis."

Key Operational Highlights

Fanapt® (iloperidone)

  • Vanda previously announced positive results in the Phase III clinical study of Fanapt® in acute manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults. Vanda continues to pursue U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Fanapt® in bipolar I disorder.

HETLIOZ® (tasimelteon)

  • Vanda is continuing to pursue FDA approvals for HETLIOZ® in the indications of insomnia and jet lag disorder.
  • In May 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the Federal Circuit) affirmed the lower court ruling in favor of Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex) in the HETLIOZ® Abbreviated New Drug Applications litigation. Vanda disagrees with the Federal Circuit's ruling, and in June 2023, Vanda requested a rehearing from the Federal Circuit. On July 18, 2023, the Federal Circuit requested a response from Teva and Apotex, which is due August 1, 2023.

Tradipitant

  • Vanda continues to pursue FDA approval of a New Drug Application (NDA) for tradipitant for patients with gastroparesis.
  • Vanda announced positive results in the Phase III study of tradipitant in motion sickness. Vanda plans to continue the motion sickness clinical program and pursue FDA approval upon completion of additional efficacy and safety studies.

Early-Stage Programs

  • Vanda announced that the FDA had granted Orphan Drug Designation for VCA-894A for the treatment of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2S (CMT2S), caused by cryptic splice site variants within IGHMBP2.

2023 Financial Guidance

Given uncertainties surrounding the U.S. market for HETLIOZ® for the treatment of Non-24 as a result of the ongoing HETLIOZ® patent litigation and the at-risk launch of a generic version of HETLIOZ®, Vanda is unable to provide 2023 financial guidance at this time. Vanda will continue to evaluate its ability to provide financial guidance as the year progresses.

HETLIOZ® net product sales will likely decline in future periods, potentially significantly, related to the at-risk launch of a generic version of HETLIOZ® in the U.S.
