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.
Clinical Trial Success in Proving a Statistically-Significant 76% Reduction in Akathisia in Participants Treated with NRX-101 Compared to Lurasidone.
On May 6th NRXP announced a statistically significant safety advantage of NRX-101 compared to the standard of care comparator in its recently completed clinical trial in patients with suicidal bipolar depression. Therefore, NRXP believes that demonstration of reduced akathisia in the setting of comparable antidepressant efficacy constitutes a basis for Accelerated FDA Approval of NRX-101. The full clinical trial results will be presented at the upcoming meeting to the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology held May 28-31 in Miami. NRXP will gather Key Opinion Leaders to educate the public on the importance and potentially life-saving implication of this finding.
Based on this safety finding, NRXP plans to seek accelerated approval of NRX-101 for treatment of bipolar depression in patients with akathisia who are at highest risk of suicide, while continuing to develop evidence to support broader indications both in treatment of depression and schizophrenia. Should these data be confirmed in additional large scale trials, NRXP believes that physicians and patients will universally prefer antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs with a reduced akathisia risk. The NRXP patent portfolio supports the development of a broad range of combined NMDA/serotonergic drugs for treatment of depression and psychosis.
New Data Demonstrating No Damage to Internal Flora in Validated Models Compared to Standard Antibiotics: Value to Avoidance of Infections
On April 17th NRXP announced new data that demonstrate that in a rodent model, the Company’s NRX-101 shows no measurable damage to either internal flora, compared to the significant negative effect caused by drugs such as ciprofloxacin. Antibiotics commonly used to treat complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) are associated with pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile (C diff) and yeast infections, primarily owing to their impact on normal internal flora.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results Plus Business Update
