ACADIA Pharmaceuticals has submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support a potential new indication for NUPLAZID® (pimavanserin) for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with dementia-related psychosis (DRP). The FDA previously granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for pimavanserin for the treatment of hallucinations and delusions associated with DRP.
The submission was based on positive results from the Phase 3 HARMONY study which showed a statistically significant 2.8 fold reduction in the risk of relapse of psychosis.
NUPLAZID was approved in the U.S. in 2016 as the first and only treatment for hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis. If approved by the FDA, NUPLAZID would be the first drug approved to treat the hallucinations and delusions associated with dementia-related psychosis.
