On August 29, 2017, pre-market, Acorda advised investors that the Company had received a Refusal To File ("RTF") letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding Acorda's New Drug Application for Inbrija, the Company's treatment for Parkinson's disease treatment.  Acorda advised investors that "[u]pon its preliminary review, FDA determined that the NDA, submitted on June 26, 2017, was not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review.  FDA specified two reasons for the RTF: first, the date when the manufacturing site would be ready for inspection, and, second, a question regarding the submission of the drug master production record. FDA also requested additional information at resubmission, which was not part of the basis for the RTF." 

On this news, Acorda's share price has fallen as much as $7.75, or 30.16%, during intraday trading on August 29, 2017.
