Scabies Overview
Scabies is a highly contagious skin condition caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite, which burrows into the skin, leading to intense itching and rash. It spreads through direct skin-to-skin contact and is prevalent in crowded living conditions, particularly in resource-limited settings. The condition is a significant public health concern worldwide, affecting millions annually, with a higher burden in tropical and developing regions. Scabies can lead to secondary bacterial infections and complications if left untreated. Treatment typically involves topical or oral medications, such as permethrin and ivermectin, to eliminate the mites and prevent reinfestation. Despite available therapies, challenges like treatment resistance, reinfection, and limited access to healthcare in endemic regions continue to impact disease control.

Additionally, this portion of the market report provides information on the diagnosed patient pool, trends, and underlying assumptions. Download the report to understand which factors are driving Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration Epidemiology trends @ Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration Marketed Drugs • BEOVU (Brolucizumab): Novartis BEOVU (Brolucizumab), developed by Novartis, is a potent anti-VEGF treatment used for Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Wet-AMD). It works by inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor, reducing abnormal blood vessel growth and fluid leakage in the retina. BEOVU offers a longer dosing interval, allowing up to 12-week dosing schedules. • EYLEA (aflibercept): Regeneron Pharmaceuticals EYLEA, developed by Regeneron, is used to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (wet-AMD), diabetic eye disease, and other retinal issues. The drug, aflibercept, is an injectable treatment that slows vision loss by blocking abnormal blood vessel growth in the eye. EYLEA works as a soluble decoy receptor, inhibiting VEGF-A and PlGF to prevent abnormal blood vessel formation. The standard dosage is 2 mg every 4 weeks for the first 3 months, then every 8 weeks. Regeneron is currently testing less frequent dosing and higher doses in ongoing phase III trials. • VABYSMO (faricimab): Roche/ Genentech, Inc. VABYSMO (faricimab) is the first bispecific antibody designed for the eye. It targets and inhibits two signalling pathways linked to a number of vision-threatening retinal conditions by neutralizing angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A). Ang-2 and VEGF-A contribute to vision loss by destabilizing blood vessels, causing new leaky blood vessels to form and increasing inflammation. By blocking both pathways involving Ang-2 and VEGF-A, VABYSMO is designed to stabilize blood vessels. Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration Emerging Drugs • OPT-302: Opthea Limited OPT-302 (sVEGFR-3) is the first 'Trap' inhibitor of VEGF-C and VEGF-D designed specifically for the eye. OPT-302 blocks the two members of the VEGF family which cause blood vessels to grow and leak. Aberrant blood vessel growth and vascular leakage are hallmarks of several eye diseases, including wet AMD and DME. In combination with anti-VEGF-A therapies, OPT-302 completely shuts-down VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 activity and targets mechanisms of resistance and suboptimal clinical response to existing therapies. • KSI-501: Kodiak Sciences Inc. KSI-501 is a novel anti-VEGF biologic designed to rapidly inhibit VEGF and provide extended durability of action to reduce the burden of frequent anti-VEGF injections. Delivering potent and sustained VEGF inhibition enables patient compliance, results in long-term efficacy, and improves visual acuity outcomes. Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration Market Outlook Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wet AMD) is a progressive eye condition characterized by the growth of abnormal blood vessels beneath the retina, which can lead to severe vision loss. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, slow disease progression, and preserve vision. The primary therapeutic approach for wet AMD is anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy. These medications, including ranibizumab (LUCENTIS), aflibercept (EYLEA), and brolucizumab (BEOVU), work by inhibiting VEGF, a protein that promotes the growth of abnormal blood vessels. Administered via intravitreal injections, these drugs reduce fluid leakage and vascular growth, stabilizing or improving vision in many patients. The Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (wAMD) market is driven by several key factors, including the rising prevalence of the disease due to an aging global population, increased awareness and early diagnosis, and ongoing advancements in treatment options such as anti-VEGF therapies and emerging gene therapies. Additionally, robust research pipelines, growing healthcare expenditure, and supportive government initiatives further contribute to market growth. However, the market also faces notable barriers, such as the high cost of treatment, limited accessibility in low-income regions, the need for frequent intravitreal injections, and challenges in achieving long-term efficacy and patient adherence. Moreover, competition among therapeutic alternatives and the complex nature of drug development for retinal diseases can also hinder market expansion.

$NRXP Has $7.8 Million in Financing for Clinic Acquisitions and Purchase of Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute as Treatment Model and Leading Investigative Site for Suicidal Depression / PTSD Developing NRX-101, an FDA-Designated Investigational Breakthrough Therapy for Suicidal Treatment-Resistant Bipolar Depression and Chronic Pain. Aiming to be the First FDA-Approved Medication to Treat Suicidal Depression Designed to Help Address the Needs of Over 13 Million Americans who Seriously Consider Suicide Each Year (CDC). Abbreviated New Drug Application Filed for Preservative-Free IV Ketamine. Current Ketamine Market Estimated at $750 Million and Projected to Reach $3.35 Billion Globally in 2034. $7.8 Million Debt Financing to Fuel NRXP HOPE Clinic Acquisitions with Universal Capital, LLC. Added to Previously Announced Term Sheet with a Strategic Investor, NRXP HOPE Funding of $10.3 Million is Planned in Near Term. Agreement to Purchase Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute Expected to Serve as Clinical Model for Treatment Offerings Nationwide. Kadima is a Leading Investigative Site for CNS and Psychedelic Research, Having Served as the Lead Site in Nearly All Major Trials in This Space. Dr. David Feifel, Nationally Recognized Pioneer in Interventional Psychiatry to join as Chief Medical Innovation Officer. New Drug Application for Treatment of Suicidal Depression; Planned NDA for Accelerated Approval for Bipolar Depression in People at Risk of Akathisia. Patent Application Filed for NRX-100 Proprietary, Preservative Free Formulation of IV Ketamine. Patent expected to be Orange Book Listable. Waiver Exemption from Paying a $4.3 Million New Drug Application Fee Under Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). Accepted Non-Binding Potential Terms to License and Distribute NRX-100 Drug Providing Over $300 Million in Milestones Plus Tiered Double-Digit Royalties. Application to Uplist to NASDAQ Global Market from NASDAQ Capital Market NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutics based on its NMDA platform for the treatment of central nervous system disorders, specifically suicidal bipolar depression, chronic pain and PTSD. NRXP is developing NRX-101, an FDA-designated investigational Breakthrough Therapy for suicidal treatment-resistant bipolar depression and chronic pain NRXP has partnered with Alvogen Pharmaceuticals around the development and marketing of NRX-101 for the treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. NRX-101 additionally has potential to act as a non-opioid treatment for chronic pain, as well as a treatment for complicated UTI. NRXP is working on a New Drug Application for NRX-100 (IV ketamine) in the treatment of suicidal depression, based on results of well-controlled clinical trials conducted under the auspices of the US National Institutes of Health and newly obtained data from French health authorities, licensed under a data sharing agreement. NRXP was awarded Fast Track Designation for development of ketamine (NRX-100) by the US FDA as part of a protocol to treat patients with acute suicidality. Intravenous ketamine is widely accepted as a standard of care for acute treatment of suicidal depression, in the absence of an FDA-labeled product; the only treatment currently approved by the FDA is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). According to the CDC, 3.8 million Americans make a plan for suicide each year. This represents a $3-5 billion market at expected pricing. Based on the data in the trials referenced above, the Company's regulatory counsel encouraged the Company to file an NDA for suicidal depression for NRX-100. In a January 2025 report, respected investment analysis firm D. Boral Capital assigned NRXP a $31 Price Target. The full report may be viewed at this link: Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Preservative-Free IV Ketamine On June 5th NRXP announced the transmission of its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for electronic filing to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for NRX-100, its preservative-free IV ketamine formulation, for use in all existing approved indications such as anesthesia and pain management. NRXP anticipates filing a citizen's petition with the FDA to remove benzethonium chloride, a known neurotoxic and cytotoxic substance, from presentations of ketamine intended for intravenous use. NRXP believes that the preservative-free feature of NRX-100 will be deemed of benefit to patients because of the known toxicity of closely related benzalkonium chloride in current drug products. Preservatives were originally added to sterile injectable products in an era when a single vial of medication was used to treat multiple patients, a practice no longer allowed in US hospitals. NRXP has demonstrated that there is no need for such preservatives to maintain stability and sterility in ketamine presentations intended for single-patient use. Should the citizen's petition be granted, all formulations of ketamine sold in the US could face a regulatory requirement to be preservative free. $7.8 Million Debt Financing to Fuel NRXP HOPE Clinic Acquisitions On May 15th NRXP announced signing of a term sheet with Universal Capital, LLC to provide $7.8 million in acquisition capital to initiate subsidiary HOPE's planned national rollup of interventional psychiatry clinics, commencing with previously-announced acquisitions of Dura Medical, Kadima, and NeuroSpa. Together with proceeds of a previously announced strategic investment, this financing is anticipated to provide $10.3 million in acquisition capital. HOPE's three initial acquisitions represent best-in-class clinics that offer neuroplastic treatments including NRXP ketamine and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat patients with severe depression, PTSD, and related central nervous system conditions. Neuroplastic treatments represent a rapidly emerging class of interventions that cause the growth of new connections (synapses) between brain cells that have been shown in multiple clinical trials to relieve symptoms of depression and suicidality. The FDA has approved TMS devices for a number of indications and has approved a nasal form of ketamine for treatment resistant depression. HOPE's parent company, NRXP, is currently applying to the FDA for approval of intravenous preservative-free ketamine to treat suicidal depression. Agreement to Purchase Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute; Foundational Acquisition for the NRXP HOPE Network of Interventional Psychiatry Clinics On May 13th NRXP announced signing of a definitive agreement to purchase the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute. Kadima is expected to serve as the clinical model for treatment offerings in NRXP HOPE-acquired clinics and is expected to continue its role as a leading investigative site for research into neuroplastic therapies including psychedelic medications, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and hyperbaric therapy. Kadima is one of California's flagship interventional psychiatry clinics and was among the first to bring ketamine treatment for central nervous system (CNS) disorders out of academic research settings and into clinical practice. The clinic offers a full range of treatments for suicidal depression, PTSD and other CNS disorders, including ketamine, Spravato, transcranial magnetic stimulation ("TMS") as well as medication management. Further, Kadima and David Feifel, MD PhD, Founder and Medical Director of Kadima, have served as leaders in clinical trial work on emerging therapies in CNS for top companies in the industry. Importantly, the clinic is profitable and is forecast to continue growth going forward. Dr. Feifel will join NRXP HOPE as its first Chief Medical Innovation Officer upon closing of the acquisition. Patent Application Filed for NRX-100 Proprietary, Preservative Free Formulation of IV Ketamine On May 5th NRXP announced the filing of a patent application for NRX-100, its preservative-free intravenous ketamine formulation for the treatment of suicidal depression. The application discloses pharmaceutical compositions, methods of treatment and methods of manufacture and currently includes twenty claims. While subject to the patent review process of the US Patent and Trademark Office, if granted, the patent would provide NRX-100 exclusivity into 2045. This patent filing builds on the NRXP recently initiated filing of an NDA for NRX-100 and its prior Fast Track Designation, with NRX-101, from the FDA. If granted, the patent will help protect the innovation behind this formulation as NRXP advances its commercialization strategy. "We are committed to delivering safer, more effective treatments for patients with suicidal depression," said Jonathan Javitt MD MPH, CEO of NRXP. "NRX-100 eliminates the need for benzethonium chloride, a compound with well-documented safety concerns, and reflects our belief that patients in crisis deserve therapies formulated with their long-term well-being in mind. With the recent FDA fee waiver now in place, we remain on track to complete our NDA submission this quarter — a critical step toward bringing this innovation to patients in need." FDA Award of Filing Fee Waiver for Upcoming NRX-100 (preservative free ketamine) New Drug Application to Treat Patients with Suicidal Depression On April 30th NRXP announced the grant of a filing fee waiver by the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") to exempt the Company from a $4.3 million fee to file its New Drug Application for NRX-100 (preservative-free ketamine). The waiver is granted at the discretion of the FDA to Small Business Entities and for drugs that are deemed to be necessary for Public Health. NRXP anticipates that this waiver enables the completion of its New Drug Application for NRX-100 with currently-available corporate resources. The NDA filing is anticipated by the end of the second quarter of this year (Q2 2025). Disclosure listed on the CorporateAds website Media Contact Company Name: NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Create Account Writing in BMC Public Health, researchers drew from a nationally representative sample of 13-to-17-year-olds in the United States, homing in on the 53.9 percent of the group that reported having been cyberbullied in the past. More than half of that group said someone had posted mean or hurtful comments online, spread rumours online, or intentionally excluded them from a group text or chat within the previous 30 days. Boys who experienced these forms of cyberbullying 'scored significantly lower than girls on the trauma scale,' and younger students reported more trauma than their older counterparts. The more often a student was bullied online, the more trauma they reported, but the type of cyberbullying was not linked to trauma severity. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'As our research clearly shows, cyberbullying in any form – whether it's exclusion from a group chat or direct threats – can lead to significant trauma in youth,' Sameer Hinduja, a professor in Florida Atlantic University's School of Criminology and Criminal Justice and the paper's lead author, said in a news release. 'We were surprised to find that no single type of cyberbullying caused more harm than others; all carried a similar risk of traumatic outcomes. This means we can't afford to dismiss or trivialize certain behaviors as 'less serious' – being left out or targeted by rumors can be just as detrimental as more overt attacks.' Because of the link between cyberbullying and symptoms of PTSD, the researchers write, schools must provide trauma-sensitive care and skill-building to help students develop good coping mechanisms. Schools should help students, including by developing crisis intervention plans, to help kids deal with cyberbullying. 'It seems vital to avoid prioritizing or trivializing any particular type [of cyberbullying] over another,' they conclude.
