FDA Fast Track Designation for NRX 100 for Suicidal Ideation in Patients with Depression, including Bipolar Depression

On August 11^th NRXP announced the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to its  NRX-100 for the treatment of suicidal ideation in patients with depression, including bipolar depression. This designation for NRX-100 as a standalone drug is a 10-fold expansion of the addressable population for NRX-100, compared to the designation granted in 2017 for NRX-100 in combination with NRX-101 (DCS/lurasidone) for treatment of Suicidal Bipolar Depression.

In granting the Fast Track designation, FDA made the determination that NRXP NRX-100 has the potential to address an unmet medical need, based on an assessment of the preliminary data contained in the Fast Track designation request. This determination of unmet medical need aligns with the eligibility requirements for the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher Program and for the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program.

NRXP has applied for a CNPV, which has the potential to substantially shorten the review cycle for NRX-100. Several well-controlled trials submitted to FDA in support of Fast Track Designation demonstrated a clinically meaningful and statistically significant reduction of suicidal ideation.

Regarding Fast Track designation, FDA's website states: A drug that receives Fast Track designation is eligible for some or all of the following:

More frequent meetings with FDA to discuss the drug's development plan and ensure collection of appropriate data needed to support drug approval.

More frequent written communication from FDA about such things as the design of the proposed clinical trials and use of biomarkers

Eligibility for Accelerated Approval and Priority Review, if relevant criteria are met.

Rolling Review, which means that a drug company can submit completed sections of its Biologic License Application (BLA) or New Drug Application (NDA) for review by FDA, rather than waiting until every section of the NDA is completed before the entire application can be reviewed. BLA or NDA review usually does not begin until the drug company has submitted the entire application to the FDA.

NRXP NRX-100 is poised to address the >$3 billion Suicidal Depression market in the US.

Request to the Food and Drug Administration Seeking Removal of Benzethonium Chloride from Ketamine Products to Favor a Switch to Better Options
