OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS  

On July 29, 2013, Vanda announced that the FDA accepted the filing and granted a priority review classification to Vanda's NDA for tasimelteon, a circadian regulator for the treatment of Non-24 in the totally blind.  Currently, there is no approved treatment for Non-24 and tasimelteon has the potential to address this unmet medical need. The FDA determined the action target date under Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V), to be January 31, 2014.  The FDA has also tentatively scheduled an advisory committee meeting to discuss the tasimelteon application on November 14, 2013.

Vanda continues to expand its activities in support of Non-24 disease awareness and education with professional, advocacy and patient groups.  In June 2013, Vanda presented data from the SET and RESET studies at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, SLEEP 2013, and the 95th Annual Endocrine Society Meeting, ENDO 2013.   

Vanda recorded second quarter 2013 revenue of $8.3 million including $6.7 million in licensing revenue related to the amortization of the upfront payment received from Novartis for U.S. and Canadian commercial rights to Fanapt® and Fanapt® royalties of $1.6 million.  Fanapt® prescriptions, as reported by IMS, were approximately 41,400 for the second quarter of 2013.  This represents a 11% increase over second quarter 2012 prescriptions and a 7% increase versus first quarter 2013 prescriptions.  

AFFIRMS 2013 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Consistent with prior guidance, 2013 expenses are expected to reflect lower research and development spending as compared to 2012 and an increase in commercial spending.

  • Full year 2013 decrease in Cash is expected to be between $45.0 and $50.0 million, compared to $47.5 million for 2012.
  • Total 2013 operating expenses are expected to be between $57.0 and $62.0 million.  This includes Fanapt® intangible asset amortization of $1.5 million and $4.0 to $6.0 million of non-cash stock based compensation.   Total 2012 operating expenses were $61.0 million.
  • 2013 operating expense guidance includes $3.5 million in milestone payments due upon the acceptance by the FDA of a tasimelteon NDA submission and assumes $4.0 to $5.0 million in NDA filing-related expenses.
