Key Operational Highlights
HETLIOZ® (tasimelteon)
Vanda is continuing to pursue regulatory approvals for HETLIOZ® in the indications of insomnia and jet lag disorder.
In December 2022, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware delivered its decision for the consolidated HETLIOZ® patent lawsuit against defendants Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva) and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (Apotex), ruling in favor of the defendants. Vanda filed an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit where an oral argument is scheduled for March 14, 2023. Despite the pending appeal, Teva has launched at risk its generic version of HETLIOZ® in the U.S.
In December 2022, Vanda filed patent infringement lawsuits against each of Teva and Apotex in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that Teva and Apotex’s generic versions of HETLIOZ® infringe U.S. Patent No. 11,285,129.
Tradipitant
Vanda is continuing to conduct an open-label safety study for tradipitant in gastroparesis and approximately the first 400 patients enrolled in the study were locked in preparation for the Company’s planned New Drug Application (NDA) submission. The study continues to enroll open label patients and Vanda continues to receive requests from patients seeking access to tradipitant through the Expanded Access program, which has multiple patients who have taken tradipitant for more than one year.
Vanda is preparing for the submission of an NDA for tradipitant for patients with gastroparesis. Vanda expects to submit this NDA to the FDA in the first half of 2023.
The Phase III study of tradipitant in the treatment of motion sickness is over 75% enrolled. Results are expected by mid-2023.
Fanapt® (iloperidone)
In December 2022, Vanda 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 plans to submit a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) in the first half of 2023.
Early-Stage Programs
In December 2022, Vanda announced results in a Phase II clinical study of VQW-765 in the treatment of acute performance anxiety in social situations. This is the first time that an alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) partial agonist has shown efficacy in a clinical study of performance anxiety.
GAAP Financial Results
Net income was $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to net income of $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Diluted net income per share was $0.12 in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.12 in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Net income was $6.3 million for the full year 2022 compared to net income of $33.2 million for the full year 2021. Diluted net income per share was $0.11 for the full year 2022 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.58 for the full year 2021.
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, 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.
