Drug Programs



ACP-103 as Adjunctive Therapy for Schizophrenia

ACADIA is developing ACP-103, a potent and selective 5-HT2Ainverse agonist, as an adjunctive therapy for schizophrenia. By adding ACP-103 in combination with currently-available antipsychotic drugs they believe that the optimal combination of dopamine receptor blockade and 5-HT2Ainverse agonism can be achieved, which may reduce the side effects associated with these drugs and expand their range of efficacy.

ACP-103 in Clinical Development

A proprietary small molecule discovered by ACADIA, is in development for treatment of the psychiatric and motoric dysfunction that frequently results from current Parkinson's disease therapies. ACP-103 is given orally and blocks the activity of the 5-HT2A receptor.

Neuropathic Pain

In collaboration with Allergan, ACADIA is developing a new class of small molecule drug candidates that they believe may represent a significant breakthrough in the treatment of neuropathic pain read more.
