NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: 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.

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

On April 30th 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).

NRXP notes recent statements by the Secretary of Health and Human Services supporting the importance of psychedelic drugs to treat severe depression and PTSD. Ketamine is believed to have a beneficial effect through its role in blocking the NMDA receptor of the brain and causing increased levels of beneficial neurotransmitters in the brain, with resulting formation of new brain cell connections (synapses).

Term Sheet for Strategic Investment from a Global Medical Device Manufacturer into NRXP Subsidiary HOPE Therapeutics

On April 3rd NRXP announced signing of a term sheet with a global medical device manufacturer, as anticipated in the Company's recently filed annual report. The investor shares NRXP subsidiary HOPE's vision of providing comprehensive interventional psychiatry treatments to patients around the world. This Investment is intended to support initiation of HOPE's network of clinics to treat suicidal depression and PTSD with ketamine, TMS and other modalities.

The Term Sheet, which is non-binding and subject to the execution of a definitive Stock Purchase Agreement, contemplates an investment of $2.5 million to purchase Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a $50 million pre-money valuation. This investment, together with expected bank financing and current balance sheet assets, is anticipated to close concurrent with, and in support of, the closing of HOPE's recently announced clinic acquisitions.

Binding Letter of Intent with Neurospa TMS Holdings, LLC for Expansion of its Planned International Network of Interventional Psychiatry Clinics

On March 24th NRXP announced signing of a binding Letter of Intent to acquire a majority interest in Neurospa TMS Holdings, LLC. Neurospa operates six interventional psychiatry clinics on Florida's Gulf Coast and will constitute a key element of HOPE's Florida network going forward. Neurospa is revenue generating and EBITDA positive.

Neurospa leverages state-of-the-art interventional psychiatry procedures, including Ketamine Infusion Therapy, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Spravato Registered , augmented by traditional psychiatry and talk therapy to provide a full continuum of care for people with depression, suicidality, PTSD, anxiety, and related disorders. TMS is an FDA-approved procedure in which focused electromagnetic treatment has been demonstrated to reduce symptoms of depression. Ketamine and Spravato Registered are similarly known to reduce symptoms of depression and both forms of treatment are increasingly used in an additive manner.
