Frequently asked questions about Venlafaxine

What is Venlafaxine?

Venlafaxine is a small molecule drug developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades as TEVA. It is also known as Venlafaxine Hydrochloride and Venlafaxine 25 mg Tablets. The program is in Phase 1 clinical development, and the specific therapeutic indication has not been disclosed.

What does Venlafaxine target?

Venlafaxine targets SLC6A2 and SLC6A4. It acts as an inhibitor of these targets, which are the norepinephrine and serotonin transporters. This target profile places it in the inhibitor class of small molecule therapeutics.

Who makes Venlafaxine?

Venlafaxine is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which is listed under the ticker symbol TEVA. Teva is the sponsor behind the clinical development program for this small molecule asset.

What phase is Venlafaxine in?

Venlafaxine is in Phase 1 clinical development. All five of its recorded trials are Phase 1 studies, and all five are completed. There are currently no active trials listed for this program.

What clinical trials is Venlafaxine in?

Venlafaxine has been studied in five completed Phase 1 trials, including NCT01282814, NCT01282801, NCT01260896, and NCT00834964. These trials enrolled healthy adult volunteers in Canada and evaluated extended-release capsules and 25 mg tablets under fed and fasting conditions.

Is Venlafaxine the same as Venlafaxine Hydrochloride?

Yes, Venlafaxine Hydrochloride is an alternative name for Venlafaxine, along with Venlafaxine 25 mg Tablets. These names refer to the same small molecule drug candidate developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited.
