What Caught Our Attention in the Investment World? – Week of September 9-13, 2019

By Kuldip K. Ambastha and Anil K. Ambastha

Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ACAD) is a biopharmaceutical company which has Nuplazid (aka: pimavanserin) in its product pipeline. Nuplazid has been used by individuals suffering from Parkinson’s disease-linked psychosis. Acadia has now analyzed Nuplazid in relation to individuals suffering from dementia-related psychosis. Currently, no approved drugs exist in the marketplace for dementia-related psychosis, a huge market segment. Acadia’s Phase 3 HARMONY study has been been stopped early since strongly positive results have been seen for using Nuplazid in relation to dementia-related psychosis. Acadia’s stock rose by 63% on Monday, September 9, plus another 6% on Tuesday, September 10. Intraday on Monday, Acadia’s stock reached its 52-week high of $43.98 per share and is trading at close to its 4-year high. Eventually, Acadia will seek FDA approval to allow people to buy Nuplazid for dementia-related psychosis.
