Bull of the Day

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (ACOR) received some very good news on May 6, 2009 when the U.S. FDA informed the company that the new drug application (NDA) for Fampridine-SR was accepted. The news comes only two weeks after the re-filing of the NDA on April 23, 2009.

Buy Rated Acorda Resubmits Fampridine-SR NDAThis morning, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (ACOR) announced it had resubmitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for Fampridine-SR to the U.S. FDA. Fampridine-SR is a novel therapy being developed to improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).We remind investors that Acorda received a Refuse to File (RTF) letter for the Fampridine-SR NDA on March 30, 2009, which cited the need to correct "format issues" and requested additional supporting information on a fed/fasting study before the NDA could be accepted for review. Acorda management held subsequent discussions with the FDA, and now believes the filing this morning addresses all the outstanding issues with the RTF letter.Acorda's stock was punished hard in late March 2009 on the news that the NDA was rejected with an RTF letter. At that time, we advised investors to use the significant sell-off ...

On March 31, 2009, Acorda Therapeutics Inc. (ACOR) received a "refuse to file" (RTF) letter from the U.S. FDA regarding its new drug application (NDA) for Fampridine-SR, the company's novel therapy designed to improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).According to management, the FDA raised three issues in the RTF letter. The first issue raised by the FDA notes a "format issue" regarding the electronic common technical document (eCTD) submission, and requested that some of the data in the filing be reformatted.The FDA also asked Acorda for additional data relating to a fed/fasting study and some analytical information from the clinical program on Fampridine-SR. Our best guess is that management can compile the necessary fed/fast and analytical data and re-file the NDA in six months. Management plans to meet with the FDA sometime in the next 30 days to discuss the RTF ...
