Press Releases

WILLMINGTON, Del., Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroRX, a phase 3 biopharma company focused on development of NRX-101, an FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy for Severe Bipolar Depression with Acute Suicidal Ideation, will present a corporate overview at today's H.C. Wainwright 21st Annual Global Investment Conference in New York. In addition to the presentation by Dr. Jonathan C. Javitt, the Company's CEO, the Company will be available for 1x1 meetings.

About NRX-101

NRX-101 is a patented, oral, fixed-dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone, that has shown activity against depression in four clinical studies. NRX-101 has also shown an effect on suicidality in some of these studies. NRX-101 is designed to address severe bipolar depression with suicidal ideation, an indication for which there is no currently approved drug and for which the only FDA-approved treatment remains electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). NeuroRx was granted Fast Track designation by the U.S. FDA for this indication in August 2017. In May of 2018 NeuroRx was awarded a Special Protocol Agreement (SPA) by the FDA for the NRX-101 phase 2b/3 trial. In April 2018, NeuroRx received a biomarker letter of support from the FDA, documenting that the company had shared evidence of increased Glx levels associated with oral administration of D-cycloserine, a phenomenon not seen with serotonin-targeted (SSRI). In November 2018, the FDA awarded NeuroRx Breakthrough Therapy designation for NRX-101.
