A questionnaire called the Nausea Vomiting Daily Diary (NV-DD) will be completed once a day, which will be used to collect data for this endpoint. The NV-DD asks participants to record their vomiting frequency in a 24-hour period.
AEs will be coded using the MedDRA coding dictionary. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject that does not necessarily have causal relationship with treatment. AEs will further be categorized by severity, relationship to study medication, and action taken. All AEs will be presented in data listings for subjects. The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a semi-structured clinical interview designed to systematically assess and track suicidal adverse events (behavior and ideation) throughout different settings including clinical trials. Results from the C-SSRS will be listed for each subject. These data will also be summarized for all subjects for suicidal ideation events, suicidal behaviors, and completed suicides.
Vital sign measurements include oral temperature (C), respiratory rate, semi-supine blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) (mmHg) and semi-supine heart rate (bpm). Criteria for identifying vital signs as Potentially Clinically Notable Abnormalities are based on the Guidelines for the Division of Neuropharmacological Drug Products. Data from vital signs will be listed, clinically notable values will be flagged, and other information collected will be listed. Data will also be summarized using mean change from first study visit and proportion of subjects with values outside the normal range, and values that were clinically notable.
Variables include PR (ms), QRS (ms), QTc (ms), and Heart Rate (bpm). Note: ms = millisecond; bpm = beats per minute
Laboratory data will be summarized by presenting the proportions of patients with clinically notable abnormalities as follows: shift tables, first study visit to most extreme post-treatment value, using normal ranges; summary statistics of raw data and change from first study visit values (means, medians, standard deviations, ranges). Criteria for identifying laboratory values as Potentially Clinically Notable Abnormalities are based on the FDA's Guidelines for the Division of Neuropharmacological Drug Products.
Prevention of vomiting measured by Vomiting Assessment (VA) score. The VA is a 1-item questionnaire to objectively measure the incidence of emesis. Participants will indicate whether or not they have vomited.
Safety will be monitored using clinical measures, vital signs, blood chemistry, hematology, urology, and ECGs.
The Gastroparesis Core Symptom Daily Diary (GCSDD) is a patient reported diary that asks patients to rate the worst occurrence of each cardinal symptom of gastroparesis (nausea severity, early satiety, postprandial fullness, bloating, and abdominal pain) in the past 24 hours on a Likert scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (very severe). Change from baseline in average nausea severity score is calculated as the biweekly average post value minus baseline value of the daily nausea severity score from the GCSDD. A negative change indicates improvement.
Reduction of worst itch in atopic dermatitis as measured by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Worst Itch NRS is an assessment tool that is used to report the maximum intensity of participant's itch during a 24-hour recall period. Participants were asked the following question: Please rate the itching severity that describes your worst level of itching in the past 24 hours \[0=No Itch, 10=Worst Itch Imaginable\].
As measured by the Motion Sickness Severity Scale (MSSS) (NRS 0-6); Lower score indicates improvement
Defined as subjects ever vomited (MSSS=6) or terminated early due to severity during the vehicle travel. As measured by the Motion Sickness Severity Scale (NRS 0-6).
The Gastroparesis Core Symptom Daily Diary (GCSDD) is a patient reported diary that asks patients to rate the worst occurrence of each cardinal symptom of gastroparesis (nausea severity, early satiety, postprandial fullness, bloating, and abdominal pain) in the past 24 hours on a Likert scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (very severe). Change from baseline in average nausea severity score is calculated as the weekly average post value minus baseline value of the daily nausea severity score from the GCSDD. A negative change indicates improvement.
Responses were measured on a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where the left endpoint was marked "no itch" (0 mm) and in the right endpoint was marked "worst imaginable itch" (100 mm).
Responses were measured on a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), where the left end point was marked "no itch" (0 mm) and in the right end point was marked "worst imaginable itch" (100 mm).

VLY-686 is an investigational small molecule developed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker VNDA). It is being studied in Phase 2 clinical development for gastroparesis and for pruritus, including treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis. It has not been approved by the FDA and remains in clinical development.
VLY-686 is being studied for gastroparesis and for pruritus, including treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis. These are investigational uses in clinical trials, not approved indications. The completed Phase 2 gastroparesis study enrolled 152 participants, and a completed Phase 2 pruritus study in atopic dermatitis enrolled 69 participants.
VLY-686 targets the NK-1 receptor, a receptor target. By binding this receptor, the small molecule is designed to interfere with substance P signaling, which is relevant to both gastrointestinal motility and itch pathways. This mechanism underlies its study in gastroparesis and in pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis.
VLY-686 is developed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc., which trades under the ticker VNDA. The company is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating the drug in gastroparesis and in pruritus, including treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis.
VLY-686 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. Completed studies include a Phase 2 trial in gastroparesis and a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis, plus an earlier Phase 1 itch study in healthy volunteers.
VLY-686 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT02970968, a Phase 2 study of gastroparesis symptoms with 152 participants in the United States, and NCT02004041, a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in treatment-resistant pruritus associated with atopic dermatitis with 69 participants in Germany. NCT01919944 was a Phase 1 itch study in healthy volunteers in Switzerland.
Yes. VLY-686 is also known as tradipitant, so searches for either name refer to the same investigational drug. It is a small molecule NK-1 receptor antagonist developed by Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ticker VNDA) and studied in Phase 2 trials for gastroparesis and pruritus.
