Welcome to our dedicated page for Acorda Therapeutics news (Ticker: ACOR), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Acorda Therapeutics stock.
Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) is a biotechnology company committed to developing therapies to restore neurological function and improve the lives of individuals with neurological disorders. Founded in 1995, Acorda has evolved from a small network of scientists and medical professionals into a commercial-stage company known for its innovative products. The company's core offerings include INBRIJA® (levodopa inhalation powder) and AMPYRA® (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets. INBRIJA is approved for the treatment of OFF episodes in adults with Parkinson’s disease on carbidopa/levodopa therapy, while AMPYRA helps improve walking in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Acorda's commitment to research and development, as well as its close collaborations with patient, medical, and scientific communities, has driven its success. The company has earned accolades for being one of the best workplaces in New York over the past five years due to its dynamic environment and strong corporate culture.
In recent financial updates, Acorda reported a Q2 2023 U.S. net revenue of $8.3 million for INBRIJA, reflecting a 12% increase from Q2 2022. AMPYRA's Q2 2023 net revenue stood at $16.9 million, a 7% decrease from the previous year. Despite financial challenges, including not expecting to be cash flow neutral in 2023, Acorda continues to revise and manage operating expenses efficiently.
The company has also regained compliance with Nasdaq after a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. Acorda announced a new board member, Tom Burns, and has continuously worked on strategic partnerships to enhance its global footprint. Notably, Biopas Laboratories has filed for the approval of INBRIJA in six Latin American countries, with more filings expected in Chile, Mexico, and Brazil in the near future.
Despite a recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and plans to sell its assets to Merz Therapeutics, Acorda reassures stakeholders that patient access to INBRIJA and AMPYRA will continue uninterrupted. The decision for bankruptcy was the outcome of a strategic review, aiming to maximize asset value through a competitive auction process.
Acorda's mission remains steadfast in innovating and providing effective therapies for those affected by neurological disorders. The company continues to focus on maintaining its operations and achieving its financial goals during this transitional period.
