Context

Why Vanda Pharmaceuticals is promoting this at APA

VQW-765 for social anxiety is a compelling Phase 3 story — there's been no novel pharmacotherapy for social anxiety in decades, and an on-demand dosing model would be transformative. At APA, psychiatrists who manage anxiety disorders daily will be interested. Results expected end of 2026.

Booth Conversation

Talking points for the conversation

Ask about: Phase 3 trial design; on-demand vs. daily dosing data; how they envision the prescribing model; competitive landscape (currently just SSRIs/SNRIs/benzos); Phase 2 efficacy signal details. Novel MOA + novel indication + on-demand model = high interest from anxiety-focused psychiatrists.

Where Videra fits

Social anxiety's core symptoms are inherently behavioral — VoiceVitals captures anxiety markers (vocal tremor, speech hesitation, linguistic hedging) in naturalistic video assessments. ePRO+ enables on-demand assessment aligned with on-demand dosing. This is one of the most natural Videra fits at the entire conference — the assessment model mirrors the treatment model.

Let's pick this up at the booth.
