Vanda Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VNDA) said the FDA's CDER issued a decision letter on Jan 8, 2026 concluding the sNDA for HETLIOZ (tasimelteon) for jet lag disorder "cannot be approved in its current form."
The FDA acknowledged positive efficacy signals from Vanda's controlled trials but found phase advance protocols (5-hour and 8-hour bedtime shifts) insufficiently analogous to real-world jet travel. Vanda disagrees, cites simulated and actual transatlantic travel data and a >10-year safety record, and notes the D.C. Circuit set aside a prior FDA refusal in Aug 2025. Vanda said it will continue to engage the FDA and pursue avenues to advance approval.

In Motion Syros (n=365) vomiting was 18.3–19.5% with NEREUS™ vs 44.3% placebo (p<0.0001); in Motion Serifos (n=316) vomiting was 10.4–18.3% vs 37.7% placebo (p≤0.0014), showing >50–70% risk reductions.
