Committed to improving patients’ lives
At ACADIA (NASDAQ: ACAD), we share a passion for improving the lives of patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders.
In April 2016, we received FDA approval for NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin), the first and only medicine approved for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis. In addition, ACADIA has ongoing clinical development efforts in additional areas with significant unmet need, including dementia-related psychosis, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and Rett syndrome.
Our vision is to become the leading pharmaceutical company dedicated to the advancement of innovative medicines that improve the lives of patients with CNS disorders. Our history is rooted in science and strong leadership in CNS research. We have set ourselves apart by transforming our novel discoveries into important drugs and drug candidates that may make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients and the family members who care for them every day.
