Why Acadia Pharmaceuticals Stock Skyrocketed Today
Shares of the mid-cap biotech Acadia Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ACAD) gained an astounding 63.2% today on nearly 17 times the average daily volume. The spark?
Acadia's shares perked up today in response to the news that pimavanserin (aka Nuplazid) hit its primary endpoint in a Phase 3 trial known as Harmony. The Harmony trial was designed to evaluate pimavanserin as a treatment for dementia-related psychosis. The trial was reportedly stopped early upon the recommendation of the study's independent data monitoring committee.
