NRx Pharmaceutical, Inc. (NRXP) Misled Investors Regarding the EAU Status of its Drug Candidate

According to the complaint, in June 2021, NRx announced it had filed an application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") requesting Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") for ZYESAMI to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients suffering with respiratory failure. However, defendants failed to disclose that the ZYESAMI EUA application contained insufficient data regarding the potential benefits and risks of the drug and therefore, the FDA was unlikely to approve the ZYESAMI EUA application in its present form.

On November 4, 2021, NRx issued a press release announc[ing] that the [FDA] has declined to issue an [EUA] for ZYESAMI® (aviptadil). The FDA stated that it was unable to issue the EUA at this time due to insufficient data regarding the known and potential benefits of the medicine and the known and potential risks of ZYESAMI in patients suffering from Critical COVID-19 with respiratory failure.” On this news, NRx's stock price fell $2.27 per share or over 25%, to close at $6.65 per share on November 5, 2021.
