Intra-Cellular Therapies (ITCI) filed a supplemental new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration for Caplyta as an add-on treatment for major depressive disorder.
The submission is backed by two positive phase 3 studies demonstrating the drug's "robust antidepressant efficacy and favorable safety and tolerability profile," the company said Tuesday in a statement.
If approved, Caplyta, or lumateperone, would be indicated for three major psychiatric conditions affecting 30 million adult patients in the US, the company said.
Shares of the company fell 0.8% in recent Tuesday trading.
