Double Bottom on ITCIIntra-Cellular Therapies, Inc. (ITCI) discovers and develops small molecule drugs for the treatment of neuropsychiatric and neurologic disorders within the central nervous system (CNS).

Its lead drug candidate is ITI-007, which is in phase III clinical development for the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar depression, as well as to treat behavioral disturbances associated with dementia, sleep disturbances associated with neurologic and psychiatric disorders, sleep and behavioral disturbances associated with autism spectrum disorder, and depression and other mood disorders.

The company also develops ITI-002 phosphodiesterase type 1 (PDE1) program that is in phase I development for the treatment of central nervous system, cardiovascular, and other disorders; and PDE2 and PDE9 targets for treating neurodegeneration and bioenergetic failure in various CNS diseases.
