+Added: NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
+Added: NRXP) (“ NRX ” or the “ Company ”) is a clinical-stage bio-pharmaceutical company which develops and will distribute, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, NeuroRx, Inc., (“ NeuroRx ”) and HOPE Therapeutics, Inc.
+Added: (“ HOPE ”), novel therapeutics for the treatment of central nervous system disorders including suicidal depression, chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“ PTSD ”) and now schizophrenia.
+Added: All of our current drug development activities are focused drugs that modulate on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (“ NMDA ”) receptor in the brain and nervous system, a neurochemical pathway that has been disclosed in detail in our annual filings.
+Added: NeuroRx is organized as a traditional research and development (" R&D ") company, whereas HOPE is organized as a specialty pharmaceutical company intended to distribute ketamine and other therapeutic options to clinics that serve patients with suicidal depression and PTSD.
+Added: The Company has two lead drug candidates that are expected to be submitted by year end for Food and Drug Administration (" FDA ") approval with anticipated FDA decision dates under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“ PDUFA ”) by the end of June 2025:
+Added: NRX-101, an oral fixed dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone and NRX-100, a preservative-free formulation of ketamine for intravenous infusion.
+Added: In February 2024, the Company incorporated HOPE as a wholly-owned subsidiary and in August 2024 completed an audit of HOPE's financial statements necessary for the intended Spin-Off (as defined in above) of HOPE to the Company's shareholders at a future date.
+Added: During the second quarter of 2024 and in the subsequent period, the Company has achieved the following:
+Added: We consummated a financing agreement with an institutional investors for $16.3 million in debt capital, sufficient to finance the submission of New Drug Applications for NRX-100 and NRX-101.
+Added: We settled litigation with Streeterville Capital, LLC at a substantial discount to the amounts claimed, thereby clearing the path to proposed partial spin-off of HOPE, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to our shareholders.
+Added: We recorded positive data from a Phase 2b/3 trial of NRX-101 in Suicidal Bipolar Depression, demonstrating significant reduction of akathisia (P=0.025) and significant improvement in time to resolution of suicidality (P<.05), while demonstrating comparable antidepressant efficacy to standard of care.
+Added: Akathisia is a potentially lethal side effect of all serotonin-targeted antidepressants and is associated with suicide.
+Added: The above findings of reduced suicidality and akathisia confirm the results of the Company’s prior STABIL-B trial in acutely suicidal patients and also mirror the results of an independent published trial;
+Added: The Company plans to file a New Drug Application (“ NDA ”) in Q4 2024 for Accelerated Approval under Breakthrough and Priority Review of NRX-101 in treatment of bipolar depression in people at risk of akathisia, based on the Phase 2b/3 and STABIL-B data.
+Added: Three manufacturing lots are now completed with more than 12 months of room temperature shelf-stability.
+Added: The anticipated PDUFA date for this application is prior to June 30, 2025;
+Added: The Company additionally plans to file an NDA in Q4 2024 for Approval under Fast Track Designation and Priority Review for NRX-100 (preservative-free sterile ketamine) in a tamper-resistant, diversion resistant packaging presentation.
+Added: Ketamine efficacy data are in hand from 4 clinical trials.
+Added: Three manufacturing lots are now completed with 9 months of stability anticipated by October 30, 2024.
+Added: The anticipated PDUFA date for this settlement is prior to June 30, 2025.
+Added: The Company believed that the preservative-free feature of this presentation will be deemed of benefit to patients because of the known toxicity of benzanthonium choloride used to preserve the current commercial formulations of ketamine used for anesthesia
+Added: We developed a novel, patentable pH neutral formulation for ketamine (designed as HTX-100) that will be suitable for both intravenous and subcutaneous administration.
+Added: Initial laboratory lots demonstrate shelf stability and ongoing stability is being assessed.
+Added: Ketamine in its current commercial presentations cannot be administered subcutaneously because of its high acidic (pH 3.5-4.0) properties, an acidity range that is known to cause paid and skin ulcers;
+Added: We have completed the audit for HOPE, thereby facilitating the proposed Spin-Off.
+Added: We have partnered with representatives of ketamine clinic operators to construct a care platform that will include ketamine, operational support, and digital therapeutic extensions.
+Added: In advance of FDA approval, HOPE is supplying ketamine under 503b pharmacy licensure to meet the national ketamine shortage declared by FDA;
+Added: NRX-101 in the treatment of Complicated Urinary Tract Infection (“ cUTI ”) granted Qualified Infectious Disease Product (“ QIDP ”), Fast Track, and Priority Review designations.
+Added: Company has now demonstrated that NRX-101 does not damage the microbiome of the gut, in contrast to all other advanced antibiotics and is less likely to cause C.
+Added: Difficile infection (a potentially lethal side effect of antibiotic treatment).
+Added: NRx is reviewing partnership options:
+Added: Executed Memorandum of Understanding with Foundation FundaMental for rights to develop potential disease modifying drug for schizophrenia.
+Added: If successful, this would represent the first drug to reverse the underlying disease mechanism of schizophrenia, rather than simply treating symptoms.
+Added: Development of NRX-101 for Suicidal Treatment-Resistant Suicidal Bipolar Depression
+Added: On May 5, 2024, the Company announced final data from the recently completed phase 2b/3 trial of NRX-101 in suicidal bipolar depression, with a significantly improved safety profile as demonstrated by a statistically significant reduction in akathisia, an adverse event considered by many experts to be a precursor to suicide.
+Added: Given the vital need for safer medications in this at-risk population, we plan to submit an NDA to the US FDA for treatment of bipolar depression patients at risk of akathisia, based on these data as well as additional data from our STABIL-B trial.
+Added: Trial participants had identical mean scores on the BARS at baseline with subsequent decrease in the NRX-101 treated group versus an increase in the lurasidone-treated group, yielding a 76% relative mean difference between the groups.
+Added: The difference was apparent at the first post-randomization visit and continued throughout the trial.
+Added: (Fig 1) Over the 42 days of observation, an effect size of .37 was identified with a statistically significant P value of 0.025 on the Mixed Model for Repeated Measures methodology agreed to with FDA in the 2018 Special Protocol Agreement.
+Added: Akathisia as ascertained by a 1 point increase in the BARS was seen in 11% of participants randomized to lurasidone (comparable to previous reports in the literature) and seen in only 2% of those treated with NRX-101, an akathisia level that was previously reported for the placebo arm of the lurasidone registration trial.
+Added: Akathisia was a prespecified key safety endpoint of the Company’s clinical trial.
+Added: Hence this finding is not a “post-hoc” observation.
+Added: As previously noted, this clinical trial of 91 participants with suicidal bipolar depression who were not pre-treated with ketamine demonstrated that NRX-101 and lurasidone were comparable in their antidepressant effect.
+Added: A 33% but statistically non-significant sustained decrease in suicidality was also seen favoring NRX-101.
+Added: As noted above, improved antidepressant efficacy is not required to seek drug accelerated drug approval based on a statistically-significant safety benefit.
+Added: The results released on May 24 are consistent with and amplify the results of the Company’s previously published STABIL-B trial (Fig 2 below).
+Added: In both trials a meaningful reduction in Akathisia was seen, which was statistically significant in the current trial (P<.025) and near significant (P=0.11) in the STABIL-B with similar effect sizes The STABIL-B additionally demonstrated a statistically-significant reduction in suicidality on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
+Added: 1 Nierenberg A, Lavin P, Javitt DC, et.
+Added: NRX-101 vs lurasidone for the maintenance of initial stabilization after ketamine in patients with severe bipolar depression with acute suicidal ideation and behavior;
+Added: a randomized prospective phase 2 trial.
+Added: Int J Bipolar Dis 2023;11:28-38, doi.org/10.1186/s40345-023-00308-5.
+Added: Reduced suicidality associated with the administration of D-cycloserine has additionally been demonstrated by Chen and Coworkers.
+Added: Results from published STABIL-B Trial
+Added: Incorporation of HOPE Therapeutics and progress towards an NDA for HTX-100 (IV ketamine) in the treatment of suicidal depression
+Added: In Q1 2024, the Company incorporated HOPE Therapeutics as a wholly-owned subsidiary and engaged its auditors who in August 2024 completed an audit of its financial statements which will be necessary for the intended spin-off of HOPE to the Company’s shareholders.
+Added: Intravenous ketamine has now become a standard of care for acute treatment of suicidal depression, in the absence of an FDA-labeled product.
+Added: Intranasal Esketamine is approved by the FDA (SPRAVATO®), but has not demonstrated a benefit on suicidality and is not approved for use in patients with bipolar depression.
+Added: Attempts to use intranasal racemic ketamine for suicidal depression have failed.
+Added: The Company has formed data-sharing partnerships to license clinical trial data from a French Government-funded trial and two National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded trials all of which demonstrate efficacy of racemic Intravenous ketamine against depression and two of which demonstrate statistically significant benefit vs suicidality.
+Added: The Company’s role is to reformat these data into the required presentation required for review by the FDA.
+Added: In contrast to nasal ketamine, Intravenous racemic ketamine demonstrates dramatic and immediate reduction of suicidality in patients with both Major Depressive Disorder and Bipolar Depression.
+Added: Grunebaum and colleagues demonstrated a rapid and statistically significant reduction in Suicidal Ideation at day 1 (p=0.0003) and in depression (P=0.0234), as measured by the Profile of Mood States among patients randomized to IV Ketamine compared to those randomized to midazolam.
+Added: This trial was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry .
+Added: Abbar and colleagues similarly published 84% remission from suicidality on the C-SSRS in patients treated with ketamine, vs.
+Added: 28% in those treated with placebo (P<.0001).
+Added: This trial was published in the British Medical Journal.
+Added: Data are expected to be transmitted to FDA by July 2024.
+Added: In November 2023, the Company initiated manufacture of ketamine together with Nephron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
+Added: to develop a single patient presentation of ketamine.
+Added: Nine months of real-time stability is expected in June 2024, the minimum stability time required for a New Drug Application.
+Added: A long-term challenge with ketamine is that the current formulation (KETALAR®) is highly acidic.
+Added: While it is suitable for intravenous use, it cannot be administered subcutaneously.
+Added: In March 2024 the Company demonstrated the formulation of a pH neutral patentable form of IV ketamine that it anticipates will have widespread applicability both in treatment of depression and chronic pain.
+Added: Treatment of Urinary Tract Infection ( “ UTI ” ) and Urosepsis:
+Added: Although treatment of UTI is quite different from use of NRX-101 to treat Central Nervous System disorders, D-cycloserine was originally developed as an antibiotic because of its role in disrupting the cell wall of certain pathogens.
+Added: During Q3 2023, NRx tested NRX-101 and its components against resistant pathogens that appear on the Congressionally mandated QIDP list and proved in vitro effectiveness against antibiotic-resistant E.
+Added: coli, Pseudomonas, and Acinetobacter.
+Added: Accordingly, NRx was granted QIDP designation, Fast Track Designation, and Priority Review by the US FDA in January 2024.
+Added: In recent years, increased antibiotic resistance to common pathogens that cause urinary tract infections and urosepsis (i.e., sepsis originating in the urinary tract) has resulted in a marked increase in cUTI, hospitalization, and death from urosepsis.
+Added: The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that more than 1.7 million Americans contract sepsis each year, of whom at least 350,000 die during their hospitalization or are discharged to hospice (CDC Sepsis Ref.).
+Added: There are approximately three million patients per year who contract cUTI in the U.S.
+Added: annually (Lodise, et.
+Added: Additionally, should NRX-101 succeed in clinical trials, the Company will consider developing a follow-on product that is anticipated to achieve another 20 years of patent exclusivity.
+Added: A key challenge in the treatment of cUTI is the tendency of advanced antibiotics to cause C.
+Added: Difficile infection, which is fatal in 10% of those who contract it over the age of 65 and results in prolonged hospitalization in many more.
+Added: The Company recently announced data demonstrating that NRX-101 does not compromise the intestinal microbiome, unlike common antibiotics including Clindamycin and Ciprofloxacin.
+Added: Should these findings be documented in human patients, NRX-101 would represent the only treatment for cUTI that does not cause C.
+Added: Difficile infection.
+Added: Recent Developments
+Added: Reverse Stock Split
+Added: On March 28, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Charter Amendment ”) to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), which Reverse Stock Split was effective April 1, 2024.

+Added: Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
+Added: The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet transactions.
+Added: The Company has no guarantees or obligations other than those which arise out of normal business operations.
+Added: Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
+Added: The Company's management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“ GAAP ”).
+Added: The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.
+Added: In accordance with GAAP, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis.
+Added: The most significant estimates relate to the stock-based compensation, the valuation of warrants, and the fair value of a note payable.
+Added: The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experiences, and various other factors that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
+Added: Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
+Added: The Company defines its critical accounting policies as those accounting principles that require it to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which the Company applies those principles.
+Added: While its significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to its financial statements, the Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial statements that require significant estimates and judgments.
+Added: Stock-based compensation
+Added: We measure stock option awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant and recognize compensation expense of those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award.
+Added: For restricted stock awards, the grant date fair value is the fair market value per share as of the grant date based on the closing trading price for the Company’s stock.
+Added: The straight-line method of expense recognition is applied to awards with service-only conditions.
+Added: We account for forfeitures as they occur.
+Added: We estimate the fair value of each stock option award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our Common Stock and assumptions we make for the volatility of our Common Stock, the expected term of our stock-based awards, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of our stock-based awards, and our expected dividend yield.
+Added: Therefore, we estimate our expected volatility based on the implied volatility of publicly traded warrants on our Common Stock and historical volatility of a set of our publicly traded peer companies.
+Added: We estimate the expected term of our options using the "simplified" method for awards that qualify as "plain-vanilla" options.
+Added: The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S.
+Added: Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award.
+Added: Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on Common Stock and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
+Added: The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based awards represent reasonable estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment.
+Added: As a result, if factors change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
+Added: Warrant liabilities
+Added: We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ ASC ”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ ASC 480 ”) and FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ ASC 815 ”).
+Added: The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification.
+Added: This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance.
+Added: For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, or date of modification, and each balance sheet date thereafter.
+Added: Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.
+Added: The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation approach and the fair value of the Substitute Warrants was estimated using a modified Black Scholes valuation approach which applies a probability factor based on the earnout cash milestone and earnout shares milestone probabilities of achievement at each reporting period.
+Added: Convertible note payable
+Added: As permitted under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ ASC 825 ”), the Company elects to account for its convertible promissory note, which meets the required criteria, at fair value at inception and at each subsequent reporting date.
+Added: Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as a component of non-operating loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
+Added: As a result of electing the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the convertible promissory notes are expensed as incurred.
+Added: The Company estimates the fair value of the convertible note payable using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our Common Stock and estimates for the equity volatility and volume volatility of its Common Stock, the time to expiration(i.e.
+Added: expected termination date) of the convertible note, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to expiration, and probability of default.
+Added: Therefore, the Company estimates its expected future equity and volume volatility based on the historical volatility of both its Common Stock utilizing a lookback period consistent with the time to expiration.
+Added: The time to expiration is based on the contractual maturity date, giving consideration to the mandatory and potential accelerated redemptions beginning six months from the issuance date.
+Added: The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S.
+Added: Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the time to expiration.
+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2023, the probability of default was estimated using Bloomberg’s Default Risk function which uses its financial information to calculate a default risk specific to the Company.
+Added: For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the probability of default was estimated based on discussions with management, the Company's current cash balance, and the Company's current efforts to receive financing to repay the Note or amend the agreement.
+Added: The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the convertible note payable represent reasonable estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment.
+Added: As a result, if factors change and the Company’s uses significantly different assumptions or estimates, the change in fair value of the convertible note payable recorded to other (income) expense could be materially different in the future.
+Added: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
+Added: As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
