OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The tasimelteon Non-24 program continues towards the goal of a projected mid-2013 NDA filing with the FDA. Vanda is in continuing discussions with the FDA to confirm the path and requirements for this regulatory submission, and while no agreement has been reached with the agency, the FDA has suggested that Vanda present its Non-24 study results to further the discussions. The SET and RESET Phase III efficacy studies for Non-24 are both fully enrolled. Vanda expects to report top-line results for the SET study by the end of 2012 and to report top-line results for the RESET study in the first quarter of 2013.
In October 2012, Vanda announced that tasimelteon was shown for the first time to restore daily cortisol rhythms in totally blind patients suffering from Non-24. Tasimelteon’s effect has now been demonstrated on both melatonin and cortisol circadian rhythms, which further supports its potential to reset the master body clock. This observation was made during an open-label screening segment of the RESET study. Tasimelteon has the potential to be the first pharmaceutical product to address the circadian dyssynchrony which is definitional for Non-24.
The tasimelteon MAGELLAN Phase IIb/III efficacy study for MDD is fully enrolled and Vanda expects to report top-line results in the first quarter of 2013.
The review of Vanda’s Marketing Authorization Application for oral iloperidone tablets in the European Union is ongoing. Vanda is preparing for an expected oral hearing in November 2012 as it continues to evaluate its European strategy. In August 2012, Fanapt™ was granted market approval in Israel for the treatment of schizophrenia. In November 2012, Vanda was notified by its distribution partner, Biotoscana Farma S.A., that Fanapt™ had been granted market approval in Argentina for the treatment of schizophrenia.
Vanda recorded third quarter 2012 revenue of $8.3 million including Fanapt® royalties of $1.5 million. Fanapt® prescriptions, as reported by IMS, were approximately 38,500 for the third quarter of 2012. This represents a 3% increase over second quarter 2012 prescriptions and a 15% increase over third quarter 2011 prescriptions. In October 2012, Novartis discontinued development of the long-acting injectable formulation of iloperidone. Vanda has the right to develop and commercialize all formulations of iloperidone in markets outside the United States and Canada.
