Published:7th Mar 2024

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced that on March 4, 2024, it received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA as part of its ongoing review of Vanda's supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Hetlioz (tasimelteon) in the treatment of insomnia characterized by difficulties with sleep initiation

As previously reported, on February 4, 2024, the FDA provided a notification stating that it identified deficiencies that precluded discussion of labeling and postmarketing requirements/commitments. Consistent with that notification, the FDA has issued a CRL, indicating that the FDA cannot approve the sNDA in its present form. Vanda is reviewing the CRL and evaluating its next steps.
