MIAMI, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- HOPE Therapeutics, Inc., ("HOPE," the "Company"), a medical and technology driven company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NRx") (Nasdaq: NRXP), today announced the planned acquisition of the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute (Kadima) of La Jolla, CA, per the previously announced Letter of Intent, for the HOPE network. Kadima is expected to serve as the flagship clinic for HOPE's planned international network of interventional psychiatry clinics, designed to provide advanced treatments for debilitating diseases such as depression, anxiety and PTSD.
Kadima is one of the world's premier interventional psychiatry clinics and was among the first to introduce Ketamine Therapy for Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders at scale in the clinic setting. The clinic offers a full range of cutting-edge treatments for suicidal depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other CNS disorders. Those treatment options include Ketamine Therapy, Spravato® (nasal esketamine), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as well as medication management.
Kadima also has a robust research division and is a leading investigative site for innovative CNS treatments, specializing in psychedelic research, for which it has served as a leading site in nearly all major clinical trials in this area. Kadima has contracts in place with the US Department of Veterans Affairs and also treats active-duty military personnel in the US Department of Defense under Tricare and other treatment programs.
Kadima's founder and CEO, Prof. David Feifel, MD PHD, has been a pioneer and international thought leader for advanced interventional treatment of psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and related disorders for more than three decades. Among other things, he is a co-author on a recent landmark expert consensus paper for treating depression with TMS, endorsed by three leading organizations in the field (ref). He also established the first clinical program to use subanesthetic dose ketamine infusions for neuropsychiatric disorders at UC San Diego, where he is currently Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry. His 150 peer-reviewed publications and several patents have provided global thought leadership on advanced approaches to treating psychiatric conditions, including integration of medicines like ketamine with neuromodulation such as, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Digital Therapeutics. Kadima's experience will guide the growing network of HOPE Therapeutics clinics to an integrated, multi-modal approach to treating suicidal depression, anxiety and PTSD that is far more effective than ketamine alone.
Upon consummation of the proposed acquisition, Dr. Feifel will serve as HOPE's Chief Medical Innovation Officer (CMIO), focused on identifying and evaluating new developments in the treatment of CNS disorders and insuring Hope clinics are at the forefront of interventional psychiatry delivery, and leading global clinical trials to continue to advance the ability to treat these lethal diseases.
Dr. Feifel will join NRx's Chairman, Prof. Jonathan Javitt in presenting a Keynote address at the 8th Annual Neuroscience Innovation Forum during the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, CA on the 12th of January 2025, and will join in meeting investors over the following week.
"I am thrilled to join the leadership of HOPE at this exciting juncture," said Dr. David Feifel. "In a world where nearly 60 million Americans suffer from a mental illness in any given year (ref), our dream has been to expand the successes and learnings of Kadima to an international stage, where we can continue to innovate and refine treatments that will create a world in which suicidal depression and PTSD are 100% treatable conditions, from which patients and their families should expect to return to empowered and productive lives."
"We are honored to welcome David and the Kadima team to the HOPE family. David has helped pioneer the field of interventional psychiatry and is one of the few global thought leaders who has been able to span the worlds of academia and community health care delivery, serving the residents of his community as well as active-duty military and veterans in a town known for hosting some of America's most elite warriors. We are thrilled to count David as our partner for expanding the success of Kadima across the globe," said Jonathan Javitt, MD MPH and Matthew Duffy, Co-CEOs of HOPE Therapeutics.
The acquisition of Kadima is subject to the completion of financial audits, execution of definitive agreements, the satisfaction of standard closing conditions.

$NRXP NEWS: NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:NRXP) Files Initial Section of U.S. New Drug Application to the FDA for NRX-100 (IV Ketamine) for the Treatment of Suicidal Depression
PR Newswire

In This Article:
NRXP NRXPW
Aiming to be the first FDA-approved medication to treat suicidal depression
Designed to help address the needs of the more than 13 million Americans who seriously consider suicide each year (CDC)
Completion of NDA filing expected in the first quarter of 2025
Company to participate in 1x1 meetings in San Francisco during the Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 13-16, 2025, in San Francisco, CA. To schedule meetings, please contact jpm@astrpartners.com
WILMINGTON, Del., Dec. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx", the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the transmission of first section of its New Drug Application (NDA) for NRX-100 (ketamine) for electronic filing with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). NRX-100 was initially granted Fast Track Designation in 2017 for use in combination with NRX-101 (D-cycloserine/lurasidone) for treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. The Company is now seeking to expand the indication to include Suicidal Ideation in Major Depressive Disorder and other forms of depression, based on data from NIH- and European Government-funded trials that have been summarized on the Company's website.

(PRNewsfoto/NRx Pharmaceuticals)
While assembly of the clinical data sections is being completed, FDA has asked the Company to submit the 1800-page manufacturing section (Module 3) of the NDA to enable immediate review prior to submission of final efficacy data and other sections of the NDA expected in the first quarter of 2025.
The NRx presentation of ketamine differs from the form of ketamine used in anesthesia in that it contains no potentially toxic preservatives and utilizes diversion-resistant packaging to enhance the traceability of a medicine known to have abuse potential.
Suicidal depression is considered a national crisis. According to the CDC over 13 million Americans seriously consider suicide each year and 3.8 million make a plan to do so.
"New treatment options are urgently needed for people at risk with acute suicidal depression," said Dr. Jonathan Javitt, Chairman, CEO and Chief Scientist. "Ketamine is already widely-used for the treatment of suicidal depression on an off-label basis and is funded by the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. However, without FDA approval, its use is largely unreimbursed by health insurers, with the exception of VA and DOD."
NRx thanks its shareholders, its clinical team, and the many patients and caregivers who have participated in the clinical trials.
NRX-100 (IV ketamine) for Suicidal Depression
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.
About NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
NRx Pharmaceuticals 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. The Company is developing NRX-101, an FDA-designated investigational Breakthrough Therapy for suicidal treatment-resistant bipolar depression and chronic pain. NRx plans to file an NDA for Accelerated Approval for NRX-101 in patients with bipolar depression and suicidality or akathisia.

$NRXP News: NRx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:NRXP) Announces Publication of Paper Entitled "Quality Assurance of Depression Ratings in Psychiatric Clinical Trials"
NRx-developed training and monitoring methodology in recently completed phase 2b/3 clinical trial of NRX-101 documents higher interrater reliability (IRR) on primary endpoint (MADRS depression scale) than previously reported industry standards
Positive implications for conduct of future registration trials for NRX-101 and similar medications.
Published in the peer reviewed American Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx Pharmaceuticals", the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced the publication of a paper by Sapko, et. al. in the peer-reviewed American Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. The paper, entitled "Quality Assurance of Depression Ratings in Psychiatric Clinical Trials,"1 reported on the impact of a comprehensive program developed by NRx Pharmaceuticals to enhance reliability in psychometric ratings that are key to drug approval. Registration trials of drugs for depression and related conditions frequently fail because of unexpected statistical variability across study sites. NRx developed a methodology for training and monitoring the performance of the study site raters, whose measurements are key to the success or failure of all clinical trials of antidepressant drugs. This approach resulted in an unprecedented level of agreement (3 points or better on a 60 point scale) compared to prior industry practices.
"The rater training and monitoring methodology achieved by NRx's research team enabled the team to identify statistically significant improvements in recovery from suicidality and reduction in akathisia (a potentially lethal side effect of antidepressant drugs) with a compact study design of 90 patients. This methodology enabled statistical significance to be achieved with fewer than 100 participants, where typically several hundred would have been required," said Dr. Jonathan Javitt, Chairman, CEO and Chief Scientist of NRx Pharmaceuticals and senior author of the study. "Clinical trials in antidepressant drugs rely on close coordination of human psychometric raters across study sites. Improving the reliability of this methodology increases our ability to bring new, lifesaving medicines to patients."
In the NRX-101 study, trial concordance, as defined by no more than 3 points of disagreement between site raters and central raters, was seen in 94.5% of ratings, where standard industry practice was to accept substantially higher variance (i.e. up to 6 points of disagreement) between study site raters and central raters.2 Accepting higher variance entails recruiting many more participants to achieve statistical significance with substantially higher study costs and risks of failure. The Company will be using this improved methodology in future drug development, and clinical trials conducted within its network of HOPE clinics.

(Nasdaq: NRXP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, ("NRx," the "Company"), today highlighted that the Company's pipeline products NRX-100 and NRX-101 were featured in an article published on Psychiatrist.com. This prominent outlet is the home of the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the official journal of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology.
The article, entitled "How NRx Could Upend the Fight Against Depression and Suicide," can be found here. The author notes:
"Clinical relevance: NRX Pharmaceuticals is developing a pair of promising new treatments for bipolar depression and suicidal ideation."
"NRX-101 is a twice-daily fixed-dose oral combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone the company developed to treat suicidal treatment-resistant bipolar depression. Researchers found this combination showed a higher efficacy than lurasidone alone for reducing akathisia and suicidality."
"NRX-100 is a proprietary preservative-free formulation of IV ketamine. Researchers have studied it as a treatment for acute suicidal crises in depression."

MIAMI, Aug. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- HOPE Therapeutics, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("HOPE," the "Company"), a medical and technology driven company, today announced signing a non-binding Term Sheet for non-dilutive, nonconvertible debt acquisition funding of its first interventional psychiatry clinics (ketamine clinic acquisitions), together with the signing of a Term Sheet for five currently operational clinics in the Western United States. In addition to the currently-signed non-binding Term Sheet, the Company has been offered non-binding lending commitments it believes are sufficient to assemble/acquire a network of operational clinics with revenues in excess of $100 million. The Company anticipates potential operations in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.
The non-dilutive acquisition funding announced today is in addition to the over $60 million in potential equity funding previously offered upon public listing of HOPE Therapeutics shares on a public exchange.
Ketamine is increasingly used to treat suicidal depression, treatment resistant depression (TRD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Until now there has been no unified entity organized around delivering consistent outpatient care for suicidal depression, TRD and PTSD that combines pharmaceutical therapy, FDA approved and proven medical technologies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), digital therapeutics and access to clinical trial protocols for the newest potential treatments, delivered by properly licensed medical professionals to optimize care of people with these conditions. Collectively, these conditions represent a crisis that results in the death of someone around the globe every minute. HOPE aims to bring a unified, patient-centric and science-based approach to the care of patients and their families.
"HOPE is dedicated to providing an accessible platform to help caregivers address the critical needs of those suffering from suicidal thoughts, TRD, PTSD and related challenges. We are delighted to take the critical first steps towards developing a network of clinics that can provide the highest possible level of care and demonstrate best-practices for mental health professionals around the world," said Jonathan Javitt and Matthew Duffy, Co-CEOs of HOPE Therapeutics.

RADNOR, Pa., Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx Pharmaceuticals", the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2024, and provided a business update.
"NRx has continued to execute on our plans to file two NDA's this year. As we near maturation of NRX-100 stability data, we also achieved an important milestone in aligning with FDA on our pediatric study plan. Together with strong clinical data from four clinical trials, we believe this application will be quite robust. Additionally, the important data generated from two trials conducted by NRx with NRX-101 in suicidal bipolar depression sets the stage for a second NDA for Accelerated Approval later this year. Finally, work continues to spin out Hope Therapeutics and distribute shares to NRx stockholders. We believe reaching these important milestones will generate significant value in the company and reward our shareholders," said Jonathan Javitt, MD, MPH, Chairman and Chief Scientist of NRx Pharmaceuticals. "Facilitated by funding to allow us to achieve these goals and while replacing the prior expensive and toxic debt on our balance sheet, we are in a position to deliver therapy that can meet considerable unmet medical need in millions of patients across the country. We are dedicated to bringing hope to life and I thank our team and shareholders for their ongoing hard work and support."
Second Quarter Clinical, Regulatory and Corporate Highlights
Funding for FDA filings of NRX-100 and NRX-101
The Company has executed a Convertible Debt instrument with Anson Funds of Toronto for $10.8 - $16.3 million in funding designed to retire existing debt and to support FDA New Drug filings of NRX-100 and NRX-101 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Terms have been disclosed in 8K filings but are at an interest rate and conversion rate substantially lower than current corporate indebtedness. The new funding has no provision for "extraordinary redemptions" triggered by appreciation in NRx share price.
Retirement of current debt and settlement of litigation
Concurrent with the Anson investment, the Company has settled its outstanding litigation with Streeterville Capital, LLC at a substantial discount to the amounts claimed in litigation.
Progress towards an NDA for NRX-100 (IV ketamine) in the treatment of suicidal depression
Intravenous ketamine has now become a standard of care for acute treatment of suicidal depression, in the absence of an FDA-labeled product. 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. Attempts to use intranasal racemic ketamine for suicidal depression have failed.
The Company has formed data-sharing partnerships to license clinical trial data from a French Government-funded trial and two NIH-funded trials all of which demonstrate efficacy of racemic Intravenous ketamine against depression and two of which demonstrate statistically significant benefit vs suicidality. The Company's role is to reformat these data into the required presentation required for review by the FDA.
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. Grunebaum and colleagues demonstrated a rapid and statistically significant reduction in Suicidal Ideation (SSI) at day 1 (p=0.0003) and in depression (P=0.0234), as measured by the Profile of Mood States (POMS) among patients randomized to IV Ketamine compared to those randomized to midazolam. This trial was published in the American Journal of Psychiatry Grunebaum, et.al.2. Abbar and colleagues similarly published 84% remission from suicidality on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) in patients treated with ketamine, vs. 28% in those treated with placebo (P
