WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda) (Nasdaq: VNDA) today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"We are pleased with the continued strong growth of Fanapt and the enthusiastic early response to NEREUS as it becomes available to patients. With BYSANTI approved and on track for launch in the second half of 2026, a December 2026 PDUFA date for Quimilza and multiple late-stage clinical trial results expected before year-end, we believe Vanda is well positioned for meaningful commercial expansion and pipeline value creation," said Mihael H. Polymeropoulos, M.D., Vanda's President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "As our Phase III programs, launch preparations, and commercial supply manufacturing near completion, we expect operating expenses to begin moderating later this year and more significantly in 2027. Our current resources, together with anticipated product revenues, provide a solid foundation to advance our objectives through at least the end of 2027."
Financial Highlights
- During 2025 and 2026, we have advanced multiple Phase III programs, continued execution on the commercialization of Fanapt® (iloperidone) and PONVORY® (ponesimod) and prepared for the commercial launches, including manufacturing commercial supplies, of NEREUS™ (tradipitant), BYSANTI™ (milsaperidone), and Quimilza™ (imsidolimab). These activities resulted in significantly increased operating expenses in 2025 and 2026. As these activities conclude, Vanda expects operating expenses to begin decreasing by the end of 2026 and more substantially throughout 2027.
