(NASDAQ: AXSM), a biopharmaceutical company developing and delivering novel therapies for the management of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2024. “We delivered another robust quarter driven by focused commercial execution and continued pipeline advancement,” said Herriot Tabuteau, MD, CEO of Axsome Therapeutics. “We continue to see strong demand for Auvelity and increased commercial payer coverage by more than 22 million lives as of August 1st. The NDA for AXS-07 in migraine has been resubmitted, and we are tracking to submit the NDA for AXS-14 in fibromyalgia in the third quarter. Trials in four new indications for solriamfetol are now underway, and we remain on track to deliver topline results from the FOCUS Phase 3 trial in ADHD in the second half of this year. For our AXS-05 program in Alzheimer’s disease agitation, the ADVANCE-2 Phase 3 trial continues to progress, and the ACCORD-2 Phase 3 trial has reached target enrollment, positioning us to potentially report topline results for both of these pivotal trials in the second half of the year.” Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights Total net product revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $87.2 million, representing 87% year-over-year growth. Total net product revenue for the comparable period in 2023 was $46.7 million.Auvelity net product sales were $65.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, representing 135% year-over-year growth. Auvelity net product sales for the comparable period in 2023 were $27.6 million.Sunosi net product revenue was $22.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, consisting of $21.5 million in net product sales and $0.6 million in royalty revenue associated with sales in out-licensed territories, representing 16% year-over-year growth. Sunosi net product revenue for the comparable period in 2023 was $19.1 million, consisting of $18.4 million in net product sales and $0.7 million in royalty revenue.Total cost of revenue was $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2024. Total cost of revenue for the comparable period in 2023 was $4.6 million.Research and development (R&D) expenses were $49.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $20.6 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily related to the initiation and continuation of solriamfetol Phase 3 trials in major depressive disorder, ADHD, and binge eating disorder, ongoing trials of AXS-05 and AXS-12, manufacturing costs associated with AXS-07 and AXS-14, post-marketing commitments for Auvelity and Sunosi, and higher personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation, due to organizational growth.Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $103.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $78.9 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase was primarily related to commercialization expenses largely driven by field force expansion and higher personnel costs, including non-cash stock-based compensation, due to organizational growth.Net loss for the second quarter of 2024 was $79.3 million or $(1.67) per share, compared to a net loss of $67.2 million or $(1.54) per share for the comparable period in 2023. The net loss in the second quarter of 2024 reflects $26.0 million in non-cash charges.Cash and cash equivalents totaled $315.7 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $386.2 million at December 31, 2023.Shares of common stock outstanding were 47,801,578 at June 30, 2024. Financial Guidance Axsome believes that its current cash is sufficient to fund anticipated operations into cash flow positivity, based on the current operating plan. Commercial Highlights Auvelity Approximately 123,000 prescriptions were written for Auvelity in the second quarter of 2024, representing a 29% sequential increase versus the first quarter of 2024.Payer coverage for Auvelity in the commercial channel increased from 48% of lives covered last quarter to 60% of lives covered as of August 1. The proportion of lives covered in the government channel (Medicare and Medicaid) remains at approximately 100%. Payer coverage for Auvelity across all channels is now at approximately 76% of all covered lives. Axsome expects coverage to continue to expand and evolve. Sunosi Approximately 45,000 prescriptions were written for Sunosi in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2024, representing an 8% increase versus the first quarter of 2024.Sunosi maintains broad payer coverage in the commercial channel with 95% of lives covered. Currently 83% of total lives across all channels are covered. Development Pipeline Axsome is advancing an industry-leading neuroscience pipeline encompassing five innovative, late-stage, patent-protected product candidates for 9 serious psychiatric and neurologic conditions, which affect more than 140 million people in the U.S. alone. Recent and anticipated progress for key pipeline programs is summarized below. AXS-05 AXS-05 (dextromethorphan-bupropion) is Axsome’s novel, oral, investigational NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 agonist being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) agitation and smoking cessation. AXS-05 has been granted U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Breakthrough Therapy designation for AD agitation. Alzheimer’s Disease Agitation: Axsome is conducting the ADVANCE-2 study, a Phase 3, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of AXS-05 in AD agitation. Patients completing ADVANCE-2 may enter a long-term open label safety extension trial. The Company anticipates topline results from the ADVANCE-2 trial in the second half of 2024.Axsome is also conducting the ACCORD-2 study, a Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of AXS-05 in AD agitation. The enrollment target for the ACCORD-2 trial has been met and the Company now anticipates topline results in the second half of 2024. Smoking Cessation: Axsome plans to initiate a pivotal Phase 2/3 trial of AXS-05 in smoking cessation in 2024. AXS-07 AXS-07 (MoSEIC™ meloxicam-rizatriptan) is Axsome’s novel, oral, rapidly absorbed, multi-mechanistic, investigational medicine being developed for the acute treatment of migraine. Migraine: The Company has resubmitted its New Drug Application (NDA) for AXS-07 for the acute treatment of migraine. The Company expects the NDA resubmission to be designated as Class 2, which would be subject to a six-month review.Axsome is conducting the EMERGE study, a multicenter, Phase 3, single-group trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of AXS-07 for the acute treatment of migraine headache in adults with a prior inadequate response to an oral CGRP inhibitor. The Company anticipates topline results from the EMERGE trial in the second half of 2024. AXS-12 AXS-12 (reboxetine) is Axsome’s novel, oral, potent, investigational highly selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and cortical dopamine modulator being developed for the treatment of narcolepsy. AXS-12 has been granted FDA Orphan Drug designation for narcolepsy. Narcolepsy: Axsome is conducting a Phase 3 open label safety extension trial of AXS-12 with topline results anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2024. AXS-12 has previously met the primary endpoints and demonstrated positive and statistically significant results in the completed SYMPHONY Phase 3 and CONCERT Phase 2 trials in patients with narcolepsy. AXS-14 AXS-14 (esreboxetine) is Axsome’s novel, oral, potent, highly selective investigational norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor being developed for the management of fibromyalgia. Esreboxetine, the SS-enantiomer of reboxetine, is more potent and selective than racemic reboxetine. Fibromyalgia: Pre-submission activities for the Company’s NDA for AXS-14 for the management of fibromyalgia are substantially complete. The Company expects to submit the NDA in the third quarter of 2024. AXS-14 has previously met the primary endpoints and demonstrated positive and statistically significant results in a Phase 3 and in a Phase 2 trial for the management of fibromyalgia. Solriamfetol Solriamfetol is Axsome’s dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and TAAR1 agonist being developed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major depressive disorder (MDD), binge eating disorder (BED), and excessive sleepiness associated with shift work disorder (SWD). Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Axsome is conducting the FOCUS study, a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol for the treatment of ADHD in adults. The Company anticipates topline results in the second half of 2024.Major Depressive Disorder: Axsome is conducting the PARADIGM study, a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol for the treatment of MDD.

Revenues for Q1 2024 were $47.5 million, an increase of 5% compared to Q4 2023 Cash increase of $5.9 million in Q1 2024 to $394.1 million Fanapt® approved for the acute treatment of bipolar I disorder; commercial launch expected in Q3 2024 Milsaperidone NDA for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder expected to be submitted in early-2025 PONVORY® commercial launch expected in Q3 2024 Tradipitant NDA review for gastroparesis ongoing, PDUFA date of September 18, 2024 Tradipitant second Phase III motion sickness study results expected in Q2 2024; NDA expected to be submitted in Q4 2024 WASHINGTON, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda) (Nasdaq: VNDA) today announced financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. "We are very proud of our accomplishments in the first quarter of 2024, which were achieved with a small but efficient organization that is enthusiastic to continue developing and commercializing treatments for people who need them," said Mihael H. Polymeropoulos, M.D., Vanda's President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "We expect several significant milestones in the coming months, including the launch of Fanapt in acute bipolar I disorder, the launch of Ponvory in multiple sclerosis, the potential approval of tradipitant in gastroparesis, the phase III results of tradipitant in motion sickness, the upcoming NDA filings of milsaperidone in psychiatric disorders and of tradipitant in motion sickness and the initiation of clinical programs in depression, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis and pediatric insomnia. We are confident that our robust revenue, strong cash position and efficient operations position us well for significant growth and value creation in the years to come." Financial Highlights Total net product sales from Fanapt®, HETLIOZ® and PONVORY® were $47.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 24% decrease compared to $62.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, and a 5% increase compared to $45.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Fanapt® net product sales were $20.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 10% decrease compared to $22.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, and a 9% decrease compared to $22.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. HETLIOZ® net product sales were $20.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 49% decrease compared to $39.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, and a 5% decrease compared to $21.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease relative to the first quarter of 2023 was the result of continued generic competition in the U.S. PONVORY® net product sales were $6.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. The acquisition of PONVORY® from Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Janssen), a Johnson & Johnson Company, was completed on December 7, 2023. Net loss was $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to net income of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, and net loss of $2.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (Cash) was $394.1 million as of March 31, 2024, representing an increase to Cash of $5.9 million compared to December 31, 2023. Key Operational Highlights Psychiatry Portfolio Fanapt® (iloperidone): Vanda announced in April 2024 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Fanapt® as a first line treatment of acute bipolar I disorder in adults. This approval of Fanapt® for acute bipolar I disorder significantly expands the addressable patient population. Patent exclusivity is expected to last at least through late 2027. Vanda is initiating a host of commercial activities, including the expansion of its existing sales force, a prescriber awareness program and a comprehensive marketing program. Milsaperidone: Vanda expects to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for milsaperidone (also known as VHX-896 and P-88), the active metabolite of Fanapt®, in schizophrenia and acute bipolar I disorder to the FDA in early-2025. If approved, there are pending patent applications that, if issued, could extend exclusivity into the 2040s. Fanapt® LAI: Vanda expects to initiate a Phase III program for the long acting injectable (LAI) formulation of Fanapt® by the end of 2024. Fanapt® LAI could reach the U.S. market after 2026 and there are pending patent applications that, if issued, could extend exclusivity into the 2040s. Vanda is currently planning clinical programs to test the efficacy of Fanapt® and milsaperidone in the treatment of depressive symptoms which, if successful, will significantly expand the addressable patient population. HETLIOZ® (tasimelteon) Vanda is currently planning to initiate a HETLIOZ LQ® program in pediatric insomnia. Although exact estimates of prevalence of insomnia in children are difficult to quantify, it is estimated that 20-40% of children experience significant sleep problems.1,2 There are currently no approved treatments for pediatric insomnia. If ultimately approved for marketing, the addressable patient population for HETLIOZ LQ® would be significantly expanded and market exclusivity would be expected to last into the 2040s. Vanda announced in March 2024 that it received a complete response letter (CRL) from the FDA related to the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for HETLIOZ® in the treatment of insomnia. Vanda is reviewing the CRL and evaluating its next steps. In addition to insomnia, Vanda continues to pursue FDA approval of HETLIOZ® in the treatment of jet lag disorder where the final agency rejection of our application is being challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Vanda announced in April 2024 that the U.S. Supreme Court denied its petition for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Vanda's HETLIOZ® Abbreviated New Drug Application litigation against Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (Teva), Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp (together, Apotex). The lower court decision held that certain claims of Vanda's U.S. Patent Nos. RE46,604; 9,730,910; 10,149,829; and 10,376,487 were invalid. Vanda's suit asserting U.S. Patent No. 11,285,129 will be infringed by Teva's and Apotex's generic versions of HETLIOZ® is currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. PONVORY® (ponesimod) Vanda expects to complete the transition of PONVORY® from Janssen and commercially launch the product for multiple sclerosis in the third quarter of 2024. Vanda is initiating a host of commercial activities including the creation of a specialty sales force, a prescriber awareness program and a comprehensive marketing program. Currently approved as a once-a-day oral treatment for people with multiple sclerosis, PONVORY® has a differentiated profile from other drugs in the class with high specificity and rapid reversibility, making for a versatile use to address the needs of people with multiple sclerosis and exclusivity is expected to last into the 2040s. Positive results from a Phase II clinical study for PONVORY® in the treatment of psoriasis were previously published in Lancet where PONVORY® demonstrated significant effects in both induction and maintenance of response.3 Vanda expects to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA for PONVORY® in the treatment of psoriasis. Vanda expects to initiate a Phase III study for PONVORY® in the treatment of psoriasis by the end of 2024. If ultimately approved for marketing, PONVORY® would be the first oral sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) analog approved for the treatment of psoriasis and would significantly expand the addressable patient population of PONVORY®, with over 8 million people diagnosed with psoriasis in the U.S.4 Vanda expects to file an IND application with the FDA for PONVORY® in the treatment of ulcerative colitis. Vanda expects to initiate a Phase III study for PONVORY® in the treatment of ulcerative colitis by the end of 2024. If ultimately approved for marketing, PONVORY® would follow other oral sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) analogs approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and would significantly expand the addressable patient population of PONVORY®, with an estimated prevalence in the U.S. of approximately 2 million individuals.5 Tradipitant The NDA for tradipitant for the treatment of symptoms of gastroparesis is under review by the FDA with a PDUFA target action date of September 18, 2024. Gastroparesis is a significant unmet medical need with the last treatment option approved over 40 years ago and an estimated prevalence in the U.S. of over 6 million individuals.6 The second Phase III clinical study of tradipitant in the treatment of motion sickness is fully enrolled and results are expected in the second quarter of 2024. The efficacy of tradipitant in the treatment of motion sickness has previously been demonstrated in two clinical studies in which tradipitant was effective in preventing vomiting associated with motion. Vanda expects to submit an NDA for the treatment of motion sickness to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2024. An eventual NDA approval of tradipitant in the treatment of motion sickness would significantly expand the addressable patient population, with approximately 30% of the U.S. population reported to suffer from motion sickness under ordinary travel conditions that include sea, air and land.7 Early-Stage Programs The Phase II study of VSJ-110 for the treatment of dry eye is ongoing and more than 50% enrolled. The Phase I clinical study for VCA-894A in the treatment of a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, axonal, type 2S (CMT2S), an inherited peripheral neuropathy for which there is no available treatment, expects to enroll the patient in mid-2024. The Phase I clinical study of VTR-297 for the treatment of onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the nail, was initiated in April 2024. VQW-765, an alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist, is currently in clinical development for treatment of acute performance anxiety in social situations. GAAP Financial Results Net loss was $4.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Diluted net loss per share was $0.07 in the first quarter of 2024 compared to diluted net income per share of $0.06 in the first quarter of 2023. 2024 Financial Guidance Given continuing uncertainties surrounding the U.S. market for HETLIOZ® for the treatment of Non-24 as a result of continued generic competition in the U.S. and the upcoming commercial launches for Fanapt® in acute bipolar I disorder and PONVORY® in multiple sclerosis, Vanda is unable to provide 2024 financial guidance at this time.
