Marks a major step in the development of what could be the first drug approved for Suicidal Bipolar Depression
The study database is being cleaned and locked; statistical analysis and top-line data to follow shortly thereafter
Study maintained 95% concordance rate between study sites and central raters on primary endpoint. No unexpected Serious Adverse Events were reported.
Positive data and FDA comment would trigger the next $4 million milestone payment from partners Alvogen and Lotus and their assumption of development costs; agreement provides for up to $329 million in milestone payments and a royalty on Net Sales in the mid-teens
RADNOR, Pa., March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx Pharmaceuticals", the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that the 74th and last evaluable patient has completed their day 42 visit in its Phase 2b/3 study of NRX-101, the Company's patented combination of the NMDA antagonist D-cycloserine and lurasidone, in Suicidal Treatment Resistant Bipolar Depression. The database is being cleaned, finalized, and locked; statistical analysis will then be performed, with top-line data to follow shortly thereafter. As previously disclosed, positive data from this trial triggers a milestone payment from Alvogen. Alvogen will then be responsible for further development and commercialization costs for this program.
NRX-101 has been awarded Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, a Biomarker Letter of Support, and a Special Protocol Agreement by the FDA for treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. It is the only oral medication to have demonstrated reduced suicidal ideation in patients with bipolar depression, a lethal disease that claims the lives of one in five who live with it.
"This is the first clinical trial, to the company's knowledge, conducted among patients with suicidal bipolar depression in the outpatient setting. Our previous trial measured the ability of NRX-101 to maintain the anti-depressant and anti-suicidal effect of ketamine administered in the hospital setting. These patients, whose clinical need is urgent and extraordinary have routinely been excluded from the clinical trials of all previously-known anti-depressant drugs. said Dr. Jonathan Javitt, Founder, Chairman and Chief Scientist of NRx Pharmaceuticals. Although there were patients whose depression worsened and required hospitalization (we don't yet know whether they were on NRX-101 or comparator), patient safety was maintained, and no trial participant suffered a serious unexpected adverse outcome. Our thanks go out to our investigators, clinics, partners and, most importantly, our amazing patients and their families for seeing this study through to this important milestone," "
The Phase 2b/3 trial (www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT 03395392) is a randomized, prospective, multicenter, double-blind study comparing NRX-101 to lurasidone over six weeks. The Principal Investigator is Prof. Andrew Nierenberg of Harvard Massachusetts General Hospital. The primary efficacy endpoint is reduction in depression as measured on the MADRS scale and the secondary endpoint is reduction of suicidal ideation as measured by the Clinical Global Impression Suicidality Scale (CGI-SS). As previously disclosed, treatment compliance and concordance of local raters to central raters scores was in excess of 94%, well above the industry standard that is normally seen in CNS trials.
Top-line results are expected around the end of this quarter.
