Neuren Pharmaceuticals' (ASX:NEU) partner, Nasdaq-listed Acadia Pharmaceuticals, submitted a marketing authorization application with the European Medicines Agency for trofinetide, a treatment candidate for Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients, according to a Wednesday filing with the Australian bourse.
Rett syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by loss of mobility in the hands as development slows down.
The application is expected to be approved in the first quarter of 2026, the filing said.
Additionally, Acadia plans to start managed access programs in Europe in the second quarter of the year, according to the filing.
Neuren Pharmaceuticals shares fell nearly 6% in morning trade Wednesday and earlier hit their lowest since September 2023.
