SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y., Sept. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:NRXP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, presented two keynote talks to a gathering of leading family offices and family members sponsored by the Global Passion Project and the Rockefeller Global Family Office on August 28-30, 2025 in Southampton, NY. The Company’s CEO, Prof. Jonathan Javitt, MD, MPH spoke alongside Matthew Rockefeller, Bradley Hilton and Cheryl Young of Rockefeller Capital, and representatives of leading family offices to detail plans for the Fall 2025 launch of HOPE Therapeutics clinics and a prospective unique one-week residential program targeting suicidal depression, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and cognitive dysfunction. The HOPE residential program will be the nation’s first to combine neuroplastic drugs, including ketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a campus-like setting that adds nutritional therapy from one of the nation’s leading chefs, neuroplastic-targeted outdoor activities, and supportive therapy. At the symposium, Matthew Rockefeller was announced as joining the advisory board of HOPE Therapeutics.

The presenters and attendees were comprised of members of some of America’s leading legacy families. Andrea Cartier Bartzen, founder of The Global Passion Projects, took the stage to emphasize the foundation’s mission of tackling global challenges, including the current crisis of suicidal depression and PTSD through collaboration and innovation. “By uniting the brightest minds in technology and science with investor and philanthropist visionaries committed to change, we are funding advancements that lead to longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives,” said Bartzen.

“We welcome Mr. Rockefeller to our advisory board,” said Dr. Javitt. Seventeen years ago, I sat with the daughter of a dear friend the night before his funeral. He was one of the thousands of Americans who die from suicide every 11 minutes. I shared my belief that his death was caused by a biologic “short circuit” in his brain and was no more voluntary than death from a heart attack. Over the subsequent seventeen years scientific advances have continued to point to loss of neuroplasticity – the ability of brain cells to form, prune, and regrow new connections – as an underlying cause of severe depression, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson’s disease and other forms of cognitive dysfunction. While NRx continues to advance neuroplastic drug development, including ketamine and cycloserine, our HOPE Therapeutics subsidiary focuses on combining neuroplastic drugs with already-approved neuroplastic treatments including transcranial magnetic stimulation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and digital therapeutics. Individually, these treatments have demonstrated 60% or greater response rates. Unfortunately, they are rarely combined under a single umbrella in a patient-friendly manner. That’s what we aim to do at HOPE Therapeutics. In combination, we aim for response of over 90%. Our combined treatment modalities will be available to patients and families this Fall at multiple locations in Florida and elsewhere.”

The Company recently raised more than $8.8 million from experienced biotechnology investors in a common stock offering with no warrants, repricing adjustments, or other variable rate features.

In the original release, sponsorship was credited to Rockefeller Capital, instead of the Rockefeller Global Family Office.
