High-Conviction CNS Disruptor Aiming to Transform Suicidal Depression, Ketamine Therapeutics, and TMS - Reaching Millions by 2030
Wisconsin Eagle/10324613

MIAMI - WisconsinEagle -- In a mental-health landscape where more than 13 million Americans seriously consider suicide each year, few companies are positioned as boldly—or as comprehensively—as NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (N A S D A Q: NRXP). With a newly expanded pipeline, a validated FDA regulatory path, revenue-generating clinic operations, and a third-party $34 analyst price target, NRx is surfacing as one of the most disruptive stories in central nervous system (CNS) therapeutics.

Today, the company is advancing three strategic pillars with the potential to reshape treatment for suicidal depression, chronic pain, and adjunctive neuromodulation:

1. NRX-101 – an FDA Breakthrough Therapy now targeting a newly emerging market in TMS augmentation.
2. NRX-100 (IV ketamine) – an innovative therapy for acute suicidality under FDA Fast Track designation.
3. KETAFREE™ – the first preservative-free IV ketamine to reach FDA ANDA review.

Layered with manufacturing readiness, clinical-care expansion, and secured operating capital through July 2026, NRXP enters 2026 positioned for clinical, regulatory, and commercial convergence.

A Potential Million-Patient Market by 2030: The New NRX-101 TMS Indication

One of the most noteworthy catalysts for NRXP emerged in Q4 when the company amended its IND for NRX-101 to include use alongside Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

This is not incremental—it's transformational.

TMS is experiencing rapid adoption, with projections indicating over one million Americans may receive TMS annually by 2030. Yet, recent data indicate that combining TMS with NMDA-modulating therapeutics may dramatically enhance patient outcomes.

In newly presented Real World Data using a modern Theta Burst TMS device and single-day treatment protocol:

• 87% of patients achieved clinical response
• 72% reached remission at 6 weeks
  These results are particularly striking given a single administration of oral D-cycloserine, a key component of NRX-101.

NRX-101 is uniquely positioned for this indication because:

• It contains lurasidone, counteracting the low-grade hallucination risk of D-cycloserine alone.
• It holds composition-of-matter patent protection globally.
• It is an FDA Breakthrough Therapy, enabling expedited development and review.

NRXP anticipates that a confirmatory ~120-patient trial could support FDA registration for the TMS augmentation indication. Partnership discussions are already underway with TMS device manufacturers to co-develop the pivotal trial and pursue joint labeling.

KETAFREE™: A Clean-Label Ketamine Positioned to Redefine a $750 Million Market

On December 2, NRXP announced a milestone with major commercial implications:
The FDA has officially received and validated the company's ANDA for KETAFREE™, its preservative-free IV ketamine formulation.
The ANDA has been deemed "substantially complete" and assigned a GDUFA goal date of July 29, 2026.

Why this matters:

1. The First Preservative-Free Ketamine in the U.S.

Most ketamine products contain benzethonium chloride (BZT)—a preservative not recognized as safe by the FDA and banned in topical antiseptics.
NRXP has filed a Citizen Petition requesting the FDA remove BZT from all U.S. ketamine products.

2. A $750M Global Generic Market Ready for Disruption

KETAFREE™ targets all existing ketamine indications with a cleaner safety profile and U.S.-based manufacturing.
The company has already manufactured initial registration lots and is prepared to scale to one million vials per month.

3. A Strategic Complement to NRX-100

KETAFREE™ follows the generic regulatory pathway (ANDA), while NRX-100 follows the innovative (NDA) pathway for suicidal depression and carries FDA Fast Track designation.

This dual-path approach not only expands the addressable market—it derisks commercialization.

NRX-100 (IV Ketamine): Fast Track, Real-World Evidence, and a Race to Fill an Unmet Clinical Void

NRXP continues rapid progress on NRX-100, an innovative ketamine-based therapy specifically developed for acute suicidal ideation.

Key elements:

• Fast Track Designation from the FDA.
• An NDA expected to be completed in Q4 2025.
• Inclusion of real-world outcomes from 60,000+ IV ketamine patients, compared with 6,000 intranasal S-ketamine patients.
• Interim data from 20,000 IV ketamine patients show a faster onset and greater effect size relative to nasal S-ketamine.

This stands in contrast to Spravato®, which despite expected $1.6 billion in 2025 sales, carries labeling stating it has not been demonstrated to reduce suicidal ideation or prevent suicide.

NRXP is also seeking a Commissioner's National Priority Voucher, which could accelerate review even further.
