NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Stock Symbol: NRXP) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics based on its NMDA platform for the treatment of central nervous system disorders, specifically suicidal bipolar depression, chronic pain and PTSD. NRXP is developing NRX-101, an FDA-designated investigational Breakthrough Therapy for suicidal treatment-resistant bipolar depression and chronic pain

NRXP has partnered with Alvogen Pharmaceuticals around the development and marketing of NRX-101 for the treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. NRX-101 additionally has potential to act as a non-opioid treatment for chronic pain, as well as a treatment for complicated UTI.

NRXP is working on a New Drug Application for NRX-100 (IV ketamine) in the treatment of suicidal depression, based on results of well-controlled clinical trials conducted under the auspices of the US National Institutes of Health and newly obtained data from French health authorities, licensed under a data sharing agreement. NRXP was awarded Fast Track Designation for development of ketamine (NRX-100) by the US FDA as part of a protocol to treat patients with acute suicidality.

Intravenous ketamine is widely accepted as a standard of care for acute treatment of suicidal depression, in the absence of an FDA-labeled product; the only treatment currently approved by the FDA is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).  According to the CDC, 3.8 million Americans make a plan for suicide each year.  This represents a $3-5 billion market at expected pricing. Based on the data in the trials referenced above, the Company's regulatory counsel encouraged the Company to file an NDA for suicidal depression for NRX-100.

Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Preservative-Free IV Ketamine

On June 5^th NRXP announced the transmission of its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for electronic filing to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NRX-100, its preservative-free IV ketamine formulation, for use in all existing approved indications such as anesthesia and pain management.

NRXP anticipates filing a citizen's petition with the FDA to remove benzethonium chloride, a known neurotoxic and cytotoxic substance, from presentations of ketamine intended for intravenous use. NRXP believes that the preservative-free feature of NRX-100 will be deemed of benefit to patients because of the known toxicity of closely related benzalkonium chloride in current drug products. Preservatives were originally added to sterile injectable products in an era when a single vial of medication was used to treat multiple patients, a practice no longer allowed in US hospitals. NRXP has demonstrated that there is no need for such preservatives to maintain stability and sterility in ketamine presentations intended for single-patient use. Should the citizen's petition be granted, all formulations of ketamine sold in the US could face a regulatory requirement to be preservative free.

$7.8 Million Debt Financing to Fuel NRXP HOPE Clinic Acquisitions

On May 15^th NRXP announced signing of a term sheet with Universal Capital, LLC to provide $7.8 million in acquisition capital to initiate subsidiary HOPE's planned national rollup of interventional psychiatry clinics, commencing with previously-announced acquisitions of Dura Medical, Kadima, and NeuroSpa. Together with proceeds of a previously announced strategic investment, this financing is anticipated to provide $10.3 million in acquisition capital.

HOPE's three initial acquisitions represent best-in-class clinics that offer neuroplastic treatments including NRXP ketamine and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat patients with severe depression, PTSD, and related central nervous system conditions. Neuroplastic treatments represent a rapidly emerging class of interventions that cause the growth of new connections (synapses) between brain cells that have been shown in multiple clinical trials to relieve symptoms of depression and suicidality. The FDA has approved TMS devices for a number of indications and has approved a nasal form of ketamine for treatment resistant depression. HOPE's parent company, NRXP, is currently applying to the FDA for approval of intravenous preservative-free ketamine to treat suicidal depression.

Agreement to Purchase Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute; Foundational Acquisition for the NRXP HOPE Network of Interventional Psychiatry Clinics

On May 13^th NRXP announced signing of a definitive agreement to purchase the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute.  Kadima is expected to serve as the clinical model for treatment offerings in NRXP HOPE-acquired clinics and is expected to continue its role as a leading investigative site for research into neuroplastic therapies including psychedelic medications, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and hyperbaric therapy.

Kadima is one of California's flagship interventional psychiatry clinics and was among the first to bring ketamine treatment for central nervous system (CNS) disorders out of academic research settings and into clinical practice.  The clinic offers a full range of treatments for suicidal depression, PTSD and other CNS disorders, including ketamine, Spravato, transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS") as well as medication management.  Further, Kadima and David Feifel, MD PhD, Founder and Medical Director of Kadima, have served as leaders in clinical trial work on emerging therapies in CNS for top companies in the industry. Importantly, the clinic is profitable and is forecast to continue growth going forward. Dr. Feifel will join NRXP HOPE as its first Chief Medical Innovation Officer upon closing of the acquisition.

Patent Application Filed for NRX-100 Proprietary, Preservative Free Formulation of IV Ketamine

On May 5^th NRXP announced the filing of a patent application for NRX-100, its preservative-free intravenous ketamine formulation for the treatment of suicidal depression. The application discloses pharmaceutical compositions, methods of treatment and methods of manufacture and currently includes twenty claims. While subject to the patent review process of the US Patent and Trademark Office, if granted, the patent would provide NRX-100 exclusivity into 2045.

This patent filing builds on the NRXP recently initiated filing of an NDA for NRX-100 and its prior Fast Track Designation, with NRX-101, from the FDA. If granted, the patent will help protect the innovation behind this formulation as NRXP advances its commercialization strategy.

FDA Award of Filing Fee Waiver for Upcoming NRX-100 (preservative free ketamine) New Drug Application to Treat Patients with Suicidal Depression

On April 30^th NRXP announced the grant of a filing fee waiver by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to exempt the Company from a $4.3 million fee to file its New Drug Application for NRX-100 (preservative-free ketamine). The waiver is granted at the discretion of the FDA to Small Business Entities and for drugs that are deemed to be necessary for Public Health. NRXP anticipates that this waiver enables the completion of its New Drug Application for NRX-100 with currently-available corporate resources. The NDA filing is anticipated by the end of the second quarter of this year (Q2 2025).
