Here's Why Biotech ETFs Are Rallying Hard 

Biotech rally gains steam on valuations, rate cuts, FDA wins & M&A. IBB, XBI, CANC and IDNA are ETFs near one-year highs.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Vanda shares have rallied about 62% since mid-November, erasing the stock’s losses for the year amid a series of news flows.&nbsp;</li><li>Tradipitant previously failed in gastroparesis but is now under FDA review with labeling discussions underway.</li><li>Approval could open a motion-sickness market estimated at $670 million in 2025.</li></ul>Vanda Pharmaceuticals (VNDA) is facing a moment of reckoning as it awaits an FDA nod for its motion-sickness treatment candidate. After a so-so performance for much of the year, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/VNDA">Vanda stock</a> rally kicked off in the middle of November and has been going strong ever since.&nbsp;Between Nov. 14 and Friday’s trading session, the stock has gained about 62%, wiping out the year's losses.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Binary Event Beckons</h2>More than 13 years after licensing NK-1R from Lilly (LLY) for a $1 million upfront payment—and over a year after the FDA rejected its application in gastroparesis—Vanda is once again knocking on the regulator’s door, this time seeking approval for motion sickness. Vand has since rechristened the drug candidate as tradipitant.&nbsp;Last September, the drug regulator issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) to the new drug application (NDA) for tradipitant for treating symptoms of gastroparesis. A CRL is a letter stating that the agency will not approve a regulatory application in its current form.Reacting to the decision, Vanda said:<blockquote>“The CRL was conclusory in nature, generally disregarded the evidence provided and instead suggested that Vanda conduct additional studies with a design and duration inconsistent with the advice of key experts in the field and not appropriate based on the scientific understanding and natural course of the disorder.”</blockquote>Vanda has looked past the disappointment and is hoping for good news. Providing a regulatory update on tradipitant as a preventive treatment for motion sickness-induced vomiting in late November, Vanda stated that the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date of Dec. 30 for completion of the review remained unchanged. It also confirmed that the FDA recently issued comments on the proposed labeling and that labeling discussions have formally commenced. If approved, Vanda will have the distinction of delivering the first new pharmacologic treatment for motion sickness in over four decades.According to Mordor Intelligence, the total addressable opportunity for motion sickness is around $670 million in 2025.
