Vanda Pharmaceuticals' VSF-173 Excessive Sleepiness Phase II Clinical Trial Suggests Wake-Promoting Properties
Date:10/30/2007

ed improvements of 2.1, 3.4 and 2.1 minutes, respectively, compared to placebo. For the dose group of 100 mg, this observation of improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.05).

Further evidence of the wake-promoting properties of VSF-173 was also observed during the scheduled daytime recovery sleep following the night time and morning evaluations. Statistically significant (p<.05; non-parametric) dose-dependent correlations were observed with the following polysomnography (PSG) parameters: increased number of awakenings, decreased sleep efficiency and total sleep time for the first third of the sleep period, and increased wake time after sleep onset for the first 3 hours of the sleep period.

These wake-promoting effects of VSF-173 on MWT and PSG measures suggest that VSF-173 possesses a novel mechanism to address disorders of excessive sleepiness. Vanda plans to conduct additional studies to further understand timing of administration, dose-response and appropriate populations to treat. VSF-173 was also demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated.

"We are encouraged by the results of this proof-of-concept study on VSF-173," stated Mihael Polymeropoulos, M.D., President and CEO of Vanda. "We believe that the compound has the potential to address the symptoms of excessive sleepiness in the context of a number of disorders including narcolepsy and shift worker sleep disorder, as well as neurodegenerative disorders."
