Business Wire
Acadia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD) today announced that
it entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to sell its
Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher (PRV) for $150
million upon the closing of the transaction.
Acadia was granted the PRV in March 2023 following approval by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of DAYBUE™
(trofinetide) for the treatment of Rett syndrome. DAYBUE was
initially licensed by Acadia from Neuren Pharmaceuticals Limited in
August 2018. Pursuant to the license agreement, Acadia is required
to pay Neuren one-third of the net proceeds.
Acadia plans to invest proceeds from the sale of the PRV to
support its commercial operations, R&D programs in central
nervous system and rare disease, and future business
development.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions,
including expiration of applicable waiting period under the
Hart-Scott Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act. Jefferies LLC
acted as financial advisor to Acadia on this transaction.
