Julian Pino's questions to ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc (ACAD) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Julian Pino, on for Paul Matteis, sought clarification on the ability to modify the statistical analysis plan (SAP) for ACP101 while blinded. He also asked why Daybue guidance was not narrowed given the strong performance and expectation for accelerating growth.
Answer
EVP, Head of R&D, Elizabeth Thompson, clarified that while an SAP can technically be changed before unblinding, there are no planned modifications for ACP101. CFO Mark Schneyer explained that the NUPLAZID guidance was narrowed because its initial range was unusually wide, whereas the company will revisit other guidance ranges, including Daybue's, in the third quarter as is typical.
