Vanda Pharmaceuticals launches study of tradipitant for COVID-19

Vanda Pharmaceuticals (VNDA +4.8%) initiates a Phase 3 clinical trial, ODYSSEY VLY-686-3501, evaluating tradipitant, on top of standard of care treatment, in severely ill COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
The 300-subject study will begin in New York-area hospitals.
Tradipitant works by blocking the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R) that is involved in a range of neuroinflammatory processes that leads to significant lung injury.
