Vanda Pharmaceuticals Q1 2025: Unpacking Key Contradictions in Strategy, Product Launches, and Cash Flow

Direct-to-Consumer campaign targeting, Fanapt relaunch and market opportunities, Tradipitant development and regulatory strategy, Milsaperidone NDA filing and market opportunity, cash flow projections are the key contradictions discussed in Vanda Pharmaceuticals' latest 2025Q1 earnings call.



Fanapt's Growth and Market Expansion:
- Vanda Pharmaceuticals reported Fanapt net product sales of $23.5 million in Q1 2025, a 14% increase year-on-year.
- Fanapt's growth was driven by the approval and commercial launch of its Bipolar I disorder indication, leading to increased prescriptions and new patient starts.

HETLIOZ's Market Share and Competition:
- HETLIOZ's net product sales were $20.9 million in Q1 2025, a 4% increase year-on-year.
- Despite generic competition, HETLIOZ maintained the largest portion of its market share, a testament to its efficacy and regulatory protection.

PONVORY's Launch and Market Potential:
- PONVORY's net product sales were $5.6 million in Q1 2025, down 18% year-on-year.
- The decline was due to a decrease in volume, which can be attributed to the early stage of its commercial launch and ongoing competition in the multiple sclerosis market.

Regulatory and Clinical Pipeline Progress:
- Vanda's pipeline includes several NDA or BLA submissions for various indications, such as Tradipitant for motion sickness, Bysanti for Bipolar I disorder and schizophrenia, and Imsidolimab for generalized pustular psoriasis.
- The progress in these regulatory submissions and clinical developments positions Vanda to expand its product portfolio and market reach in the near future.
