Research

Post-traumatic stress disorder

It was in a phase III clinical trial for adults and a phase II clinical trial for children for post-traumatic stress disorder.[2]

Autism

In January 2018, Roche announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had granted breakthrough therapy designation for balovaptan in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).[3] The FDA granted this based on the results of the adult phase II clinical trial called VANILLA (Vasopressin ANtagonist to Improve sociaL communication in Autism) study.[4]

The phase III study concluded that balovaptan did not improve social communication in autistic adults.[5]

Stroke

It was also in phase II studies for the treatment of stroke. However, it has since been discontinued for both of those indications.[6]
