Summary of BioXcel Therapeutics Conference Call Company Overview - **Company**: BioXcel Therapeutics (NasdaqCM:BTAI) - **Product**: IGALMI (dexmedetomidine) sublingual film - **Focus**: Treatment of acute agitation associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder Key Industry Insights - **Market Need**: There is a significant burden of agitation in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, with an estimated 60 to 80 million episodes occurring among 23 million patients in home settings [10] - **Current Treatment Gap**: Prior to IGALMI, there were no FDA-approved therapies for at-home treatment of agitation associated with these disorders [11] Core Findings from SERENITY At-Home Trial - **Trial Design**: The SERENITY At-Home trial was a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of a 120 microgram dose of IGALMI in an at-home setting [21] - **Patient Demographics**: Included 200 patients with a history of agitation, primarily diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, aged 18 to 75 [23][25] - **Efficacy Results**: - The trial demonstrated a significant reduction in agitation symptoms, with a responder rate of 40% for placebo and double that for IGALMI [14][15] - The number needed to treat (NNT) was 3, indicating that for every three patients treated, one additional patient experienced a significant reduction in agitation [17] - Complete resolution of agitation was significantly higher with IGALMI compared to placebo [28] Safety and Tolerability - **Adverse Events**: The safety profile was consistent with previous studies, showing no serious adverse events related to IGALMI. Somnolence rates were 22% for IGALMI and 6% for placebo in single doses [27] - **Repeated Dosing**: The drug was well tolerated with repeated dosing, maintaining efficacy without increased adverse events over time [30] Future Outlook - **Regulatory Submission**: A supplemental NDA for at-home use is planned for submission in Q1 2026 [12] - **Market Potential**: If approved, IGALMI could provide a new treatment option for managing acute agitation at home, potentially reducing hospital admissions and associated costs [70] Additional Considerations - **Patient Compliance**: The likelihood of patient compliance with at-home use is high if the drug is effective in managing agitation [72] - **Cost Sensitivity**: While cost may be a concern for inpatient providers, outpatient providers are generally less sensitive to price as long as the drug is accessible [70] Conclusion - BioXcel Therapeutics is positioned to address a significant unmet need in the management of acute agitation with IGALMI, supported by promising trial results and a clear regulatory pathway ahead. The focus on at-home treatment could transform patient care and reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
