EMERYVILLE, Calif., Jan. 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMS), a company dedicated to developing and delivering medicines that make a meaningful difference to people affected by neurological diseases, today provides preliminary unaudited total revenues for the fourth quarter and full year 2020 and key business drivers for 2021.

“I am proud of our team’s resilience, ability to adapt, and unwavering execution of our key priority to deliver GOCOVRI® to the Parkinson’s community. Through strong performance, GOCOVRI sales are expected to increase 30% for the full year 2020 against the backdrop of a challenging macro environment. Furthermore, we strengthened the foundation of our business for long-term, sustainable growth with key management and board additions,” said Neil F. McFarlane, Chief Executive Officer. “In 2021, our goal is to realize the potential of GOCOVRI and integrate OSMOLEX ER®; positioning both to benefit their unique patient populations, and to record a full year of royalties from sales of NAMZARIC®. We appreciate that market dynamics may remain fluid in 2021; however, we are highly encouraged by the strong momentum we established in 2020.”

About GOCOVRI®

GOCOVRI® (amantadine) extended release capsules is the first and only FDA-approved medicine indicated for the treatment of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease receiving levodopa-based therapy, with or without concomitant dopaminergic medications. It is also the only medicine clinically proven to reduce both dyskinesia and OFF.

Taken once daily at bedtime, GOCOVRI provides an initial lag and a slow rise in amantadine concentration during the night, resulting in a high concentration from the morning and throughout the waking day. Additionally, in the clinical trials, the adjunctive use of GOCOVRI did not require dose changes to dopaminergic therapies. The most commonly observed adverse reactions with GOCOVRI were hallucinations, dizziness, dry mouth, peripheral edema, constipation, falls and orthostatic hypotension.
