Acorda Therapeutics resubmits NDA for Fampridine-SR to FDA - Quick Facts

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (ACOR) revealed the resubmission of its New Drug Application, or NDA, for Fampridine-SR to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Fampridine-SR is a novel therapy being developed to improve walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis.
