Tom Schrader's questions to NRX Pharmaceuticals Inc (NRXP) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Tom Schrader of BTIG questioned the rationale for seeking an accelerated approval pathway for NRX-101, given its conventional clinical endpoints, and asked whether the new Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) could be sold like previous voucher types.
Answer
Jonathan Javitt, Founder, Chairman and CEO, clarified that the CNPV is not sellable and NRXP's sole objective is rapid drug delivery to patients. He explained that NRX-101's trial demonstrated reductions in akathisia and suicidality, considered intermediate endpoints, which makes the accelerated approval pathway appropriate, with a commitment for a future confirmatory trial using depression as the primary endpoint.
