HETLIOZ® net product sales were $41.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, a 9% decrease compared to $45.6 million in the third quarter of 2021, due in part to continued reimbursement challenges for prescriptions for patients with Non-24.

HETLIOZ® net product sales were $119.6 million in the first nine months of 2022, an 8% decrease compared to $129.5 million in the first nine months of 2021, due in part to continued reimbursement challenges for prescriptions for patients with Non-24.
Fanapt® net product sales were $70.3 million in the first nine months of 2022, a 1% decrease compared to $71.2 million in the first nine months of 2021.

Vanda is preparing for the submission of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for HETLIOZ® in the treatment of insomnia. Vanda expects to submit this sNDA to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end of 2022.
Tradipitant
Vanda is continuing to conduct an open-label safety study for tradipitant in gastroparesis and continues to receive requests from patients seeking access to tradipitant through the Expanded Access program that has multiple patients who have taken tradipitant for more than a year.
Vanda is preparing for the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for tradipitant in the short-term treatment of nausea in gastroparesis. Vanda expects to submit this NDA to the FDA in the first half of 2023.
The Phase III study of tradipitant in the treatment of motion sickness is approximately 40% enrolled. Results are expected by mid-2023.
Enrollment of the Phase III clinical study of Fanapt® in acute manic episodes in patients with bipolar I disorder is fully enrolled. The study is a placebo controlled four-week evaluation of approximately 400 patients at sites in the U.S. and Europe. Results are expected by the end of 2022.
Early-Stage Programs
The Phase II clinical study of a single-dose treatment of VQW-765 to alleviate social/performance anxiety is fully enrolled. Results are expected by the end of 2022.
In September 2022, Vanda and OliPass Corporation (OliPass) announced a research and development agreement to jointly develop a set of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) molecules based on OliPass' proprietary modified peptide nucleic acids. Vanda has already identified two ASO targets that have been validated in cell lines that model two disease targets, one rare orphan and the other applicable to a broad set of immuno-oncological conditions.
Legal and Regulatory Updates
The decision for the consolidated HETLIOZ® patent lawsuit against Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) defendants is expected from the court by the end of 2022.
Vanda's lawsuit against the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is currently pending and challenges a CMS rule that subjects certain of Vanda's products to enhanced rebates. Vanda believes the rule is unlawful and contrary to the intent of Congress when it passed the Affordable Care Act.
Vanda filed a lawsuit against the FDA on September 13, 2022 demanding that the FDA immediately publish in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity for a hearing on Vanda's sNDA for HETLIOZ® in the treatment of Jet Lag Disorder. The FDA then published the notice in the Federal Register on October 11, 2022. Vanda intends to continue pursuing FDA approval of the sNDA for HETLIOZ® in the treatment of Jet Lag Disorder.
