Vanda Pharmaceuticals Reports Positive Results for Tradipitant in Preventing GLP-1 Induced Nausea and Vomiting
Tradipitant halved vomiting rates compared to placebo in a trial of 116 overweight adults, addressing a key cause of GLP-1 treatment discontinuation.
- Vanda reported that its randomized controlled study showed tradipitant, an oral NK-1 receptor antagonist, reduced GLP-1 induced nausea and vomiting in overweight and obese adults.
- Amid a $50 billion global GLP-1 agonist market, gastrointestinal side effects drive early discontinuation, imposing substantial costs on patients and payors and creating unmet need for adjunctive therapies.
- Using a rapid 1 mg Wegovy challenge, the trial of 116 participants pretreated with tradipitant 85 mg twice daily met endpoints with 29.3% experiencing vomiting versus 58.6% on placebo, with `p=0.0016`.
- Vanda will evaluate regulatory and development steps, anticipating a Phase III program in the first half of 2026 and FDA review with a PDUFA target action date of December 30, 2025.
- Supporting evidence from motion-sickness studies shows tradipitant can mitigate GLP-1 nausea, reducing 30-50% discontinuation rates, aligning with prior trials in over 800 individuals.
