Item 8.01. Other Events.

On March 29, 2007, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it will make presentations covering its schizophrenia programs for each of ACP-103 and ACP-104 at the 2007 International Congress on Schizophrenia Research, being held from March 28 to April 1, 2007. The ACP-103 presentation will include previously announced top-line results from the recently completed Phase II schizophrenia co-therapy trial. The Company also will present new data from this study showing that patients in the co-therapy arm combining ACP-103 with risperidone (2 mg) had significantly lower prolactin levels after 42 days of treatment compared to patients in the risperidone (6 mg) plus placebo arm (p=0.0001). The condition of elevated prolactin is a commonly observed side effect of antipsychotic therapy and may adversely affect menstrual and sexual function as well as bone formation.
