Vanda Pharmaceuticals Used its Drugs for Off-Label Purposes
For years, Vanda and its officers hid that Vanda was involved in a fraudulent scheme that included violations of federal Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare programs and that Vanda's promotional materials were false and misleading, garnering scrutiny from the FDA. Specifically, Vanda schemed to promote its drugs Fanapt and Hetlioz for "off-label" uses in addition to other prohibited promotional strategies. Vanda's executives and officers knew about the prohibited promotional strategies and actively participated in the fraudulent activity. Vanda also issued misleading statements regard tradipitant's clinical trials with the FDA. When the truth was revealed, Vanda's stock declined over 5% and has slipped even more, now trading at just around $11.00. As a result of this conduct, Vanda is facing significant liability from a Qui Tam lawsuit and has already incurred substantial expenses in its investigation.
