Vanda Pharma’s Investigastional Insomnia Agent VEC-162, Demonstrated Favorable Results in Phase II Study
An investigational agent under clinical development by Vanda Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of insomnia, VEC-162 is a novel melatonin agonist whose Phase II clinical trial showed improved key sleep measures and provided immediate phase advance in adults suffering from transient insomnia.
"We are encouraged by these clinical results," said Mihael Polymeropoulos, MD, CEO of Vanda, "which demonstrate that, in VEC-162, we may have the first therapy available to treat the millions of patients who suffer from the consequences of a misalignment of their sleep/wake cycle." Treatment with VEC-162 was generally well tolerated in the study with the adverse events mild to moderate in nature.

Results of the study were presented at the SLEEP 20th Anniversary Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) by Dr. Shantha M.W. Rajaratnam, Division of Sleep Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School.
