0011 GMT - Acadia Pharmaceuticals' target of $370 million-$420 million net sales of its Daybue treatment for Retts Syndrome looks achievable to Jefferies, despite a small miss in 1Q. In a research note on Acadia's partner, Neuren Pharmaceuticals, analyst David Stanton expects there will be around 2,250 patients who will have tried Daybue in the U.S. by end-FY 2024, up from 1,450 a year earlier. To achieve Acadia's guidance, 45% of patients diagnosed with Retts in the U.S. will have had to have tried Daybue, up from 29% at end-FY 2023. That doesn't appear to be "high for an efficacious, well-covered drug with no other treatment options," he says. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
