Acadia Hits 4-Year Low After CNN Reports Concerns on Key Drug
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. shares tumbled to their lowest level in four years after a CNN report raised questions about whether its lead treatment played a role in the deaths of already sick and elderly patients.CNN cited an analysis by a nonprofit health-care organization that found 244 deaths involving patients on Nuplazid, which treats hallucinations and psychosis associated with Parkinson’s disease, in the first nine months after its 2016 introduction.
