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.

On January 2^nd NRXP announced the planned acquisition of the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute of La Jolla, CA, per the previously announced Letter of Intent, for the Company's  HOPE subsidiary network. Kadima is expected to serve as the flagship clinic for HOPE's planned international network of interventional psychiatry clinics, designed to provide advanced treatments for debilitating diseases such as depression, anxiety and PTSD.

Kadima is one of the world's premier interventional psychiatry clinics and was among the first to introduce Ketamine Therapy for Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders at scale in the clinic setting. The clinic offers a full range of cutting-edge treatments for suicidal depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other CNS disorders. Those treatment options include Ketamine Therapy, Spravato® (nasal esketamine), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as well as medication management.

Kadima also has a robust research division and is a leading investigative site for innovative CNS treatments, specializing in psychedelic research, for which it has served as a leading site in nearly all major clinical trials in this area. Kadima has contracts in place with the US Department of Veterans Affairs and also treats active-duty military personnel in the US Department of Defense under Tricare and other treatment programs.

Kadima's founder and CEO, Prof. David Feifel, MD PHD, has been a pioneer and international thought leader for advanced interventional treatment of psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and related disorders for more than three decades. Among other things, he is a co-author on a recent landmark expert consensus paper for treating depression with TMS, endorsed by three leading organizations in the field (ref). He also established the first clinical program to use subanesthetic dose ketamine infusions for neuropsychiatric disorders at UC San Diego, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry. His 150 peer-reviewed publications and several  patents have provided global thought leadership on advanced approaches to treating psychiatric conditions, including integration of medicines  like ketamine with neuromodulation such as, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Digital Therapeutics. Kadima's experience will guide the growing network of NRXP HOPE Therapeutics clinics to an integrated, multi-modal approach to treating suicidal depression, anxiety and PTSD that is far more effective than ketamine alone.

Dr. Feifel will join NRXP Chairman, Prof. Jonathan Javitt in presenting a Keynote address at the 8th Annual Neuroscience Innovation Forum during the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, CA on the 12th of January 2025, and will join in meeting investors over the following week.

Initial Section of U.S. New Drug Application to the FDA for NRX-100 (IV Ketamine) for the Treatment of Suicidal Depression

On December 30^th NRXP announced the transmission of first section of its New Drug Application (NDA) for NRX-100 (ketamine) for electronic filing with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). NRX-100 was initially granted Fast Track Designation in 2017 for use in combination with NRX-101 (D-cycloserine/lurasidone) for treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. The Company is now seeking to expand the indication to include Suicidal Ideation in Major Depressive Disorder and other forms of depression, based on data from NIH- and European Government-funded trials that have been summarized on the NRXP website.

While assembly of the clinical data sections is being completed, FDA has asked the Company to submit the 1800-page manufacturing section (Module 3) of the NDA to enable immediate review prior to submission of final efficacy data and other sections of the NDA expected in the first quarter of 2025.

The NRx presentation of ketamine differs from the form of ketamine used in anesthesia in that it contains no potentially toxic preservatives and utilizes diversion-resistant packaging to enhance the traceability of a medicine known to have abuse potential.
