Acorda Therapeutics

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. was established in March 1995 to develop therapeutic products for spinal cord injury ("SCI") and other central nervous system disorders. Acorda is focusing its initial development efforts on a range of therapeutics for individuals with chronic, or long term, SCI. Currently, there is no therapy that improves neurological function in chronic SCI patients.

However, Acorda's clinical stage product, Fampridine-SR, has improved neurological function for patients with chronic SCI in Phase 2 clinical trials. The Company believes that the therapeutic products it develops for SCI are likely also to have applications in other neurological conditions-for example, both Fampridine-SR and the Company's M1 monoclonal antibody ("M1") product have shown promise as therapies for multiple sclerosis ("MS"). Other potential markets for the Company's products include traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease and stroke.
