ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Reports Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Research and development expenses increased to $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2012, including $157,000 in stock-based compensation, from $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, including $129,000 in stock-based compensation. This increase was primarily due to increased external clinical expenses associated with ACADIA’s Phase III program with pimavanserin.

General and administrative expenses totaled $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, including $331,000 in stock-based compensation, and were comparable to the third quarter of 2011.
