About
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing therapeutic solutions that address critical unmet medical needs. The company currently offers two approved treatments: HETLIOZ, prescribed for non-24-hour sleep-wake disorders, and Fanapt oral tablets, used in the management of schizophrenia. Vanda maintains an active and diverse development pipeline, exploring new applications for its existing therapies and advancing a range of novel compounds. This includes expanding HETLIOZ (tasimelteon) to potentially treat conditions such as jet lag disorder, Smith-Magenis Syndrome, pediatric Non-24, autism spectrum disorder, and delayed sleep phase disorder. Fanapt (iloperidone) is being investigated for bipolar disorder, alongside the creation of a long-acting injectable formulation for schizophrenia. Other promising candidates in development include: Tradipitant (VLY-686): A small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist for atopic dermatitis, gastroparesis, and motion sickness. VTR-297: A small molecule histone deacetylase inhibitor, primarily for hematologic malignancies but with broader oncology potential. VQW-765: A small molecule nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist targeting psychiatric disorders. A portfolio of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activators and inhibitors aimed at dry eye and ocular inflammation. BPO-27: For secretory diarrhea disorders, including cholera. VHX-896: The active metabolite of iloperidone. Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. markets its products in the United States, Europe, and Israel.
