OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
Fanapt® prescriptions, as reported by IMS, reached 33,000 in the third quarter of 2011. This represents a 10% increase over second quarter 2011 prescriptions. Since its launch in January 2010, over 145,000 Fanapt® prescriptions have been written in the U.S.
The tasimelteon Non-24 program continues to advance with two new studies initiated to support registration and is on target for a mid 2013 NDA submission. Presently, two phase III pivotal and two safety studies are ongoing. A second phase III pivotal study (3203) enrolled its first patients in September 2011. The 3203 study is a placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal study to examine the maintenance effect of tasimelteon for the treatment of Non-24. A second safety study (3204) enrolled its first patients in October 2011. The 3204 study is a two year open-label, study in blind subjects with Non-24.
The tasimelteon Phase IIb/III (MAGELLAN) study in MDD was initiated in September 2011. The U.S. based study is expected to enroll 500 patients across 40 sites. The MAGELLAN study has an eight-week treatment period, followed by an optional one-year open-label extension, and includes measures of depression and anxiety symptoms, nighttime and daytime sleep, as well as laboratory measures of the internal body clock. Vanda expects to report results from the MAGELLAN study in the first half of 2013.
On October 24, 2011, Vanda announced that Bob Repella joined its management team as Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer. Prior to joining Vanda, Mr. Repella was Senior Vice President of Pharmaceutical Operations for the Americas Region at Cephalon.
