- FDA meeting scheduled to discuss next steps towards a resubmission of the pimavanserin sNDA
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD), today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
“Our third-quarter results reflect volume growth across all channels and our strong relative performance underscores our commercial team’s ability to drive sales of NUPLAZID in a challenging environment,” said Steve Davis, Chief Executive Officer. “As we close out the year, we will meet with the FDA to discuss additional analyses supporting a potential resubmission of our sNDA for pimavanserin focused on specific subgroups of dementia. In addition, we look forward to announcing results from our ongoing Phase 3 LAVENDER study of trofinetide for the treatment of Rett syndrome.”

Financial Results
Revenue
Net sales of NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin) were $131.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 9% as compared to $120.6 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, Acadia reported net product sales of $353.4 million and $320.7 million, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $58.6 million, compared to $120.1 million for the same period of 2020. The decrease was largely due to decreased costs associated with the upfront consideration and transaction costs related to the acquisition of CerSci Therapeutics. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, research and development expenses were $172.5 million and $257.0 million. The decrease was largely due to the acquisition of CerSci Therapeutics and reduced development costs for trofinetide and the cessation of development of pimavanserin for major depressive disorder, partially offset by increased costs of our development activities for ACP-044.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 were $81.7 million, compared to $81.6 million for the same period of 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, selling, general and administrative expenses were $290.1 million and $267.9 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to increased advertising and promotional costs as well as an increase in personnel and related costs.
Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2021, Acadia reported a net loss of $14.5 million, or $0.09 per common share, compared to a net loss of $84.7 million, or $0.54 per common share, for the same period in 2020. The net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included $15.5 million and $21.4 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Acadia reported a net loss of $124.8 million, or $0.78 per common share, compared to a net loss of $214.8 million, or $1.37 per common share, for the same period in 2020. The net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 included $50.7 million and $63.2 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Cash and Investments
At September 30, 2021, Acadia’s cash, cash equivalents, and investment securities totaled $540.3 million, compared to $632.0 million at December 31, 2020.

About NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin)
Pimavanserin is a selective serotonin inverse agonist and antagonist preferentially targeting 5-HT2A receptors. These receptors are thought to play an important role in neuropsychiatric disorders. In vitro, pimavanserin demonstrated no appreciable binding affinity for dopamine (including D2), histamine, muscarinic, or adrenergic receptors. Pimavanserin was approved for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in April 2016 under the trade name NUPLAZID. NUPLAZID is not approved for dementia-related psychosis. In addition, Acadia is developing pimavanserin in other neuropsychiatric conditions.
About Trofinetide
Trofinetide is an investigational drug. It is a novel synthetic analog of the amino‐terminal tripeptide of IGF-1 designed to treat the core symptoms of Rett syndrome by potentially reducing neuroinflammation and supporting synaptic function. In the central nervous system, IGF-1 is produced by both of the major types of brain cells – neurons and glia. IGF-1 in the brain is critical for both normal development and for response to injury and disease. Trofinetide has been granted Fast Track Status and Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and Orphan Drug Designation in Europe for both Rett syndrome and Fragile X syndrome.
