Acor­da’s aw­ful, no good, just plain bad week gets worse as FDA hands ex­ecs an­oth­er de­lay on In­bri­ja — bat­tered shares tum­ble again

Acor­da’s sna­fu-plagued at­tempt to get a fast FDA mar­ket­ing de­ci­sion on a crit­i­cal­ly im­por­tant new drug has just run in­to a fresh set­back — and it’s painful to watch.
