MIAMI - Washingtoner -- Developing NRX-101, an FDA-Designated Investigational Breakthrough Therapy for Suicidal Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression and Chronic Pain.

Aiming to be the First FDA-Approved Medication to Treat Suicidal Depression

Designed to Help Address the Needs of Over 13 Million Americans who Seriously Consider Suicide Each Year (CDC).

New Drug Application for Treatment of Suicidal Depression; Planned NDA for Accelerated Approval for Bipolar Depression in People at Risk of Akathisia.

Application to Uplist to NASDAQ Global Market from NASDAQ Capital Market

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.

In a January 2025 report, respected investment analysis firm D. Boral Capital assigned NRXP a $31 Price Target. The full report may be viewed at this link: https://www.nrxpharma.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/HOPE-Therapeutics-Advances-With-Kadima.pdf.
