Vanda Pharmaceuticals' shares rose approximately 18% following FDA approval of its drug NEREUS for motion sickness-related vomiting. This marks Vanda's first FDA-cleared therapy in this area in decades. NEREUS, an oral neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, demonstrated significant efficacy in clinical trials, reducing vomiting rates by over 50% in some cases. The company plans to launch the drug in the U.S. soon and is also exploring its use for other nausea-related conditions.
