BioXcel Therapeutics (NASDAQ: BTAI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that develops central nervous system and immuno-oncology drug candidates using an AI-assisted discovery platform. Its only approved and commercialized product is IGALMI (dexmedetomidine sublingual film), FDA-approved for acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder, with commercial sales launched in July 2022. Revenue is generated through net product sales of IGALMI, which totaled $642 thousand in FY2025 and $2,266 thousand in FY2024, a decline attributed to reduced bulk sales, higher GPO discounts, and reduced commercial activities following Clinical Reprioritizations in May and September 2024. The company operates at a net loss, funding operations through equity issuances. CEO Vimal Mehta, Ph.D., also leads affiliated entity BioXcel LLC, which owns the EvolverAI drug discovery engine used to identify BTAI's pipeline candidates including BXCL501, BXCL502, BXCL701, and BXCL702.
