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.

Advancing Robotic-Enabled Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Combined with Neuroplastic Therapy for Military and First Responder Applications

On April 15th NRXP announced the incorporation of NRx Defense Systems, Inc., a Florida-based Research and Development subsidiary. The subsidiary is charged with development of neuroplastic treatments that combine D-cycloserine with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) under robotic-enabled neuro-navigation, using already developed technology.

The NRXP NRx Defense Systems will be led by Dr. Dennis McBride, whose career spans the intersection of CNS disorders, neuroplastic therapy, and robotics. Dr. McBride has held leadership roles in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, including as Director of the SECDEF Acquisition Innovation Research Center. Dr. McBride has transitioned multiple biomedical and human factors technologies to private industry, with independent estimates of annual revenue enablement ranging from $15 billion to nearly $40 billion.

Combined Neuroplastic Therapy for depression and PTSD is an increasing area of focus within military organizations because of the recognized five-fold increased risk in front-line troops and first responders. Accordingly, rapid and efficient treatment of these conditions becomes not only a critical healthcare issue, but also a force-readiness issue, in that those on antidepressants are not combat-deployable. A key objective of the NRXP Defense Systems initiative is to develop robotic and artificial intelligence-enabled solutions that can be forward-deployed within military organizations without relying on a new layer of skilled medical professionals.

The NRXP prototype is being developed in partnership with Zeta Surgical, Inc., whose AI-powered neuronavigation platform received FDA 510(k) clearance for TMS navigation in October 2025. Zeta Surgical, Inc. is a medical technology company that has developed an AI-powered, frameless neuronavigation platform capable of providing sub-millimeter accuracy in real time without the need for head fixation or general anesthesia. The system is compact, mobile, and designed for deployment in both clinical and non-traditional settings.

NRXP and Zeta anticipate unveiling the prototype robotic-enabled TMS technology with neuroplastic therapy at the 14th Annual meeting of the Clinical TMS Society (CTMSS) from June 4-6, 2026 in Boston, MA and offering a roundtable presentation at that forum.

FDA Labeling Alignment for NRx's Preservative-Free Ketamine Application

On April 6th NRXP announced that it has received a letter from the Labeling Program of the FDA Office of Generic Drugs with only minor formatting changes to the proposed label for the Company's preservative-free ketamine product. The determination is deemed preliminary until final supervisory review of the NRXP Abbreviated New Drug Application with anticipated approval in Summer 2026.

This determination by FDA is meaningful in that the NRXP product has the potential to substantially augment the supply of US manufactured ketamine at a time when multiple suppliers of ketamine are advising the medical community that they are on backorder.

In addition to the pending ANDA application for Preservative Free Ketamine, NRXP is preparing a New Drug Application under Fast Track Designation to expand the use of intravenous ketamine to treat patients with severe depression, who may have suicidal ideation.

Strategic Partnership with Emobot to Integrate AI-Powered "Depression Thermometer" Across Interventional Psychiatry Network

On March 30th NRXP announced a strategic partnership with Emobt Health to deploy its revolutionary AI-driven emotional monitoring platform across the rapidly expanding NRXP network of interventional psychiatry clinics. This roll-out represents the first large-scale clinical integration of Emobot's "Depression Thermometer," a passive monitoring tool designed to detect early treatment response and prevent relapse in patients with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD).

Emobot's technology replaces cumbersome psychometric questionnaires with a background application on the user's smartphone to passively and automatically measure levels of depression and potentially suicidality and PTSD. In recent years, there has been widespread recognition that neuroplastic therapies, including potentially IV Ketamine, SPRAVATO Registered (esketamine), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) have the potential to replace an older and less effective generation of oral antidepressants.

Full-Year 2025 Results and Highlights Key Regulatory and Commercial Progress

On March 24th NRXP announced the filing of its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Highlights included the following key points:

A year-over-year reduction in operating expenses with $7.8 Million cash on hand at year end. With ongoing revenue from operations and current ATM trends, NRXP anticipates adequate resources to support operations through 2026, with anticipation of continued revenue growth. As of December 31, 2025, all previously issued convertible debt had been converted into common stock.

Anticipated FDA approval of at least one NRXP new drug - Preservative Free Ketamine under an ANDA-during Q3 2026. A favorable preliminary bioequivalence determination was received from the FDA.

A Type C in-person meeting with the FDA Division of Psychiatry Products together with leadership of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) to identify a path to approval of NRXP NRX-100 (preservative-free ketamine) under a New Drug Application with an indication for treatment of Severe Depression in Patients who may have suicidality. In meeting minutes, FDA expressed willingness to review existing randomized clinical trial data and Real World Evidence as a potential basis for approval without a requirement for conduct of additional clinical trials.

Appointment of Prof. Joshua Brown, MD, PhD, of Harvard/Mclean as NRXP Chief Medical Innovation Officer. Dr. Brown is Principal Investigator on NIH- and DARPA-funded projects that highlight the future of neuroplastic care, including use of D-cycloserine and TMS for treating depression, PTSD, and suicidality.

Filing of an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA to study the use of the NRXP Breakthrough-designated candidate, NRX-101, for the enhancement of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) supported by non-dilutive governmental funding sources.

Development of a patentable, sustained-release presentation of D-cycloserine to provide an extended release profile suitable for enhancement of TMS efficacy. Prior NRXP clinical trials have shown a doubling of clinical response in patients with depression and an 8-fold increase in remission from depression versus standard TMS therapy.

Implementation of a business plan for NRXP subsidiary HOPE Therapeutics, Inc. with the aim of developing interventional psychiatry centers focused on neuroplastic therapy - including ketamine, D-cycloserine, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - for patients with severe and suicidal depression and PTSD, with future applications for Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, and Alzheimer's.

First NRXP revenue from acquired and partnered interventional psychiatry clinics at five sites of care that provide neuroplastic therapy to treat severe and suicidal depression and PTSD, with funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of War, private insurers, and self-pay. Company expects to substantially increase this revenue-generating footprint in 2026.

Announcement of a nationwide NRXP partnership with neurocare AG, a leading manufacturer of TMS technology to develop their growing combined clinic base, currently at 20 sites of care in the US together with an installed base of more than 400 TMS machines into a nationwide accountable care network providing psychiatrist-led neuroplastic therapy.
