ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. shares closed down 7.63% on about 9.2 million shares traded on Wednesday. Yesterday the company announced positive top-line results from CLARITY, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, sequential parallel comparison design (SPCD) study in major depressive disorder (MDD). Serge Stankovic, M.D., M.S.P.H., ACADIA's Executive Vice President Head of Research & Development stated, "We are pleased with the robustness of the data from our Phase 2 CLARITY trial, which shows significant promise for patients with MDD, including early and sustained antidepressant response over placebo, decreased daytime sleepiness, no meaningful weight gain, and improved sexual function. This is important because most people with MDD do not respond to initial antidepressant therapies and experience significant unwanted side effects." He added, "Pimavanserin is a selective serotonin inverse agonist, or SSIA, that shows great potential as an antidepressant. We look forward to engaging with the FDA and initiating a Phase 3 program in the first half of 2019.”
