NRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NRXP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is gearing up for key milestones this year as it advances its lead drug candidate NRX-100.

NRX-100 (ketamine) is an intravenous formulation of ketamine in development for the treatment of patients with severe depression and acute suicidal ideation.
