Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ADMS) discovers, develops, and sells chrono-synchronous therapies for chronic neurologic disorders.
The company's product portfolio comprises ADS-5102, a chrono-synchronous amantadine therapy for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Its portfolio also comprises of Namzaric (memantine hydrochloride extended-release and donepezil hydrochloride) capsules; and Namenda XR (memantine hydrochloride) extended release capsules for the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease.

Shares have formed a bullish "flag" after the Food and Drug Administration approved its Parkinson’s drug, Gocovri. The drug has been approved to treat involuntary movements, called dyskinesia. This disorder is common with Parkinson’s patients when they’re on levodopa-based therapy, which is the standard treatment. Gocovri is the first of its kind to be approved by the FDA.
With no drug approved for treating dyskinesia, the approval of Gocovri is good news for Adamas. The company expects to make the drug available in the fourth quarter of 2017 and a formal launch is planned in January 2018. Higher share prices are expected for this stock.
