NEW YORK, July 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Levi & Korsinsky announces it has commenced an investigation of ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“ACADIA” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: ACAD ) concerning possible violations of federal securities laws.

On April 9, 2018, ACADIA stock fell after CNN issued a report stating that “Physicians, medical researchers and other experts told CNN that they worried that the drug [NUPLAZID] had been approved too quickly, based on too little evidence that it was safe or effective.” On April 10, 2018, the Food and Drug Administration stated it would continue to monitor reports of adverse events. Then on July 9, 2018, a report was published by The Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation alleging that ACADIA’s “pursuit of regulatory approval is best described as ‘loophole-centric’.” To obtain additional information, go to :
