Investment summary
Acacia Pharma is focused on bringing antiemetic drugs to the US hospital setting for unmet needs in post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Acacia’s lead product BARHEMSYS (repurposed amisulpride for the management of PONV) received a second complete response letter (CRL) in May 2019 from the US FDA following receipt of the first CRL in October 2018, both relating to deficiencies at the contract manufacturer. Acacia is qualifying an alternative supplier of amisulpride and is expected to resubmit an NDA in Q319. At 31 December, Acacia had net cash of £22.1m.

Industry outlook
Inadequately treated PONV leads to prolonged stays in post-anaesthesia care unit recovery rooms. Use of BARHEMSYS could reduce patient hospitalisation time and the associated costs.
