• The June 2024 meeting of the American Society for Clinical Psychopharmacology (ASCP) focused heavily on increasing use of intravenous ketamine and intranasal S-ketamine as the emerging standard of care for treating severe depression and suicidality
• Presenters from 3 open label studies at the ASCP suggested that intravenous ketamine is at least equivalent and may have advantages over intranasal S-ketamine
• NRx Pharmaceuticals has now reached the 9-month stability point with its ketamine formulation (NRX-100) and has initiated 3 manufacturing lots for future drug release. Nonclinical safety for short term use of NRX-100 has recently been published and submitted to FDA
• FDA leadership, in public comments at ASCP, focused on the need for nonclinical safety data for intravenous ketamine as a condition of ketamine approval
• The short-term need for intravenous ketamine as an already-approved, schedule 3 drug, is heightened by recent regulatory decisions that may delay the path of potent, schedule 1 psychedelic drugs that may require more complicated clinical trial designs.
