    This is for a non-disease modifying drug - wonder what the price would be for a disease modifying HD drug.

    Acorda Therapeutics is gambling $525 million on a Phase III-ready Parkinson's treatment, striking an all-cash deal to buy Civitas Therapeutics.
    Acorda CEO Ron Cohen

    Acorda ($ACOR) now has control of CVT-301, a fast-acting rescue formulation of levodopa that can be self-administered through an inhaler. Just weeks ago Civitas nailed down a $55 million venture round from a long lineup of backers, then pivoted to an IPO filing. But that was evidently all part of the bargaining process for this drug, with Acorda settling on an unusual all-cash deal for an experimental program.

    and-
    "Sales from CVT-301 are expected to exceed $500 million, according to Ron Cohen, Acorda's CEO. Acorda expects to complete another trial and then file for regulatory approval in the U.S. by the end of 2016."
