NRx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: NRXP) Subsidiary to Acquire 49% Stake in Prominent Florida Neuropsychiatry Clinic

Posted on July 8, 2025 by MissionIR
  • The acquisition of Cohen and Associates, a respected interventional psychiatry practice, by NRx subsidiary HOPE Therapeutics, is expected to be immediately accretive to revenue and EBITDA.
  • Cohen, serving the Sarasota-Bradenton area in Florida, specializes in treatments, including ketamine and TMS, for mood disorders, PTSD, and suicidal depression.
  • HOPE Therapeutics is expanding toward a target of 30 clinics with a $100 million run rate by the end of 2025.

NRx Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: NRXP), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary HOPE Therapeutics, Inc., a multi-site clinical care delivery organization, recently signed a binding letter of intent to acquire a 49% stake in Cohen and Associates, LLC, a respected neuropsychiatry clinic based in western Florida (https://ibn.fm/geIxF).

The agreement, announced on June 26, positions Cohen as a foundational clinic in the Sarasota-Bradenton region for HOPE’s growing network. Cohen and Associates, led by Dr. Rebecca Cohen, offers a comprehensive range of psychiatric care options, including ketamine infusions, Spravato, transcranial magnetic stimulation (“TMS”), and medication management for conditions such as suicidal depression and PTSD.

Founded in 2014, Cohen has established a reputation for delivering thorough psychiatric evaluations and interventional care. Dr. Cohen, an interventional psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist, is known nationally for her expertise in TMS. Her academic achievements include recognition from Tufts University, Boston University, and Georgetown University, and she has been honored as a Fellow of both the American Psychiatric Association and the International Clinical TMS Society.

“I am thrilled to be working with HOPE at this exciting juncture in the company’s evolution,” Dr. Cohen said. “Our goal will always be to deliver outstanding patient care by offering the best available treatments and individualized care.”

HOPE Therapeutics is building a network of interventional psychiatry clinics that combine advanced treatments such as TMS and ketamine with a digital therapeutic-enabled platform to improve outcomes. The company is targeting up to 30 clinics and a $100 million pro forma run rate by the end of 2025.

HOPE’s co-CEOs, Jonathan Javitt and Matthew Duffy, expressed confidence that the Cohen acquisition will support their mission of expanding evidence-based, compassionate care. “We are delighted to welcome Rebecca and her team to the HOPE family. Her extensive experience with neuroplastic therapies, combined with compassionate patient care exemplify our culture of bringing HOPE to life,” they said.

According to the announcement, the transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to both revenue and EBITDA, underlining its strategic fit for HOPE Therapeutics’ clinic-based growth plans. The acquisition is subject to final agreements and standard closing conditions, with further details to be disclosed once definitive transaction documents are signed.

NRx Pharmaceuticals has been active on multiple clinical development fronts, working to advance therapies for mood disorders, PTSD, and acute suicidality through its NMDA-based platform. The company recently filed a new application for a Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher to accelerate review of NRX-100, a preservative-free intravenous ketamine formulation. In parallel, the company has filed an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) for NRX-100 with a request for priority review.

New Pacific Metals Corp. (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG) Positioned to Supply Critical Global Silver Demand from Bolivia Assets

Posted on July 7, 2025 by MissionIR
  • New Pacific Metals owns two of the largest undeveloped open-pit silver projects globally, both located in Bolivia.
  • Its flagship Silver Sand project is projected to produce 12 million ounces of silver annually at low all-in sustaining costs.
  • The Carangas project could add 6.6 million ounces of silver annually, with over 1 million ounces of gold potential at depth.
  • New Pacific is working through Bolivia’s permitting process to unlock the upside potential of its high-quality, large-scale projects.
  • Global silver demand, particularly for industrial and renewable energy applications, adds urgency to project development.

New Pacific Metals (NYSE American: NEWP) (TSX: NUAG), a Canadian exploration and development company, is in a unique position to fill a critical and growing supply gap in the global silver market, with two large-scale projects in Bolivia. The company’s progress is focused on advancing these assets through permitting in a country that remains geologically rich.

The company’s two primary projects, Silver Sand and Carangas, are among the best undeveloped open-pit silver assets in the world. A preliminary feasibility study (“PFS”) published in June 2024 highlights the strong potential of the flagship Silver Sand project, which is expected to deliver 12 million ounces of silver annually over a 13-year mine life. The early years are even more productive, with output estimated at 15 million ounces per year, with total projected production reaching 157 million ounces. The project carries a post-tax net present value (“NPV5%”) of US$740 million and a 37% internal rate of return (“IRR”) at a conservative silver price of US$24 per ounce. The all-in sustaining cost is estimated at just US$10.69 per ounce, with a rapid payback period of under two years.

The Carangas Project’s preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”), released in September 2024, outlines a low-cost open-pit mine that targets only the upper silver-lead-zinc zone to produce 6.6 million ounces of silver annually over a 16-year mine life. The economics are also favorable: a post-tax NPV5% of US$501 million, a 26% IRR, AISC of $7.60 per ounce net of lead and zinc by-products, and a 3.2-year payback period at $24 per ounce silver. Notably, Carangas also has more than 1 million ounces of gold potential at depth, not yet incorporated into the PEA.

Together, these projects position New Pacific to potentially produce nearly 19 million ounces of silver per year, placing it in the upper ranks of primary silver producers, once both projects enter production.

Permitting efforts for the two projects are well underway, though the process requires time and patience. Still, it highlights a major opportunity: Bolivia is starved of foreign investment needed to revitalize its mining sector—offering significant upside for early movers.

New Pacific is backed by strong players in the precious metals market. The company is 28% owned by Silvercorp Metals (NYSE-A: SVM) (TSX: SVM), a Canadian mining company producing silver with a long history of profitability, and 13% owned by Pan American Silver (NYSE: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS), which bills itself as the world’s premier silver producer. Both shareholders view the Bolivian projects as serious long-term strategic opportunities that could also attract buyers or partners once development milestones are reached.

Global demand for silver is rising—not just from investors, but from industrial and renewable energy sectors, including photovoltaic solar panels and electric vehicles. According to the World Silver Survey, industrial applications now account for an astonishing 83% of annual silver demand (https://ibn.fm/pniUI).

With few large-scale silver projects under development worldwide, New Pacific’s pipeline is notable. As many silver producers pivot to gold or base metals simply because of a lack of primary silver resources, New Pacific offers pure silver leverage—a rare commodity in today’s market.

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) to Conduct Neurofilament Biomarker Analysis for CNM-Au8(R) in ALS in Early Q4 2025

Posted on July 7, 2025 by MissionIR
  • The FDA offered supportive feedback on Clene’s proposed statistical analysis plan during a recent Type C meeting.
  • The neurofilament biomarker analysis results could support an accelerated approval submission for CNM-Au8 later in 2025.
  • Clene has two additional FDA meetings scheduled in Q3 2025 to discuss ALS survival data and its MS program.
  • Nearly 200 ALS patients are participating in the NIH-sponsored Expanded Access Program for CNM-Au8.
  • The analysis aims to validate the neuroprotective effects shown in previous HEALEY Platform Trial results.

Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial health and protecting neuronal function to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”) and multiple sclerosis (“MS”), is set to move ahead with neurofilament biomarker analyses for its lead candidate CNM-Au8(R) ALS early in the fourth quarter of 2025. The announcement follows a recent productive Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) (https://ibn.fm/F5AHk). 

The planned analyses will examine changes in neurofilament light chain (“NfL”), a recognized biomarker for neurodegeneration, among nearly 200 ALS patients treated through the National Institutes of Health–sponsored Expanded Access Program (“EAP”) for CNM-Au8. The company’s statistical plan will compare these patients to matched ALS controls, with a primary analysis at nine months and a supportive analysis at six months of treatment.

In the Expanded Access Program, CNM-Au8 is being administered on a compassionate use basis to people living with ALS. The company will analyze whether reductions in NfL from this cohort mirror or exceed the neuroprotective trends reported in the double-blind HEALEY trial.

Benjamin Greenberg, MD, Head of Medical at Clene, described the FDA’s feedback as “constructive” and said the agency’s acceptance of Clene’s revised statistical plan is expected this summer. Clene has already resubmitted its updated analysis plan to the FDA to incorporate requested changes, aiming to finalize the evaluation framework ahead of its fourth-quarter biomarker review.

“We are encouraged by the FDA’s collaborative approach and their constructive feedback on our NfL biomarker analysis plan from the ongoing NIH-sponsored EAP program,” said Greenberg. “With two additional FDA meetings scheduled to discuss long-term ALS survival results and the End-of-Phase 2 MS results, we are advancing our ALS and MS programs to deliver an innovative therapy for people living with neurodegenerative diseases.”

A positive outcome from this NfL assessment is likely to strengthen Clene’s case for a new drug application (“NDA”) submission under the accelerated approval pathway before the end of 2025. The company is seeking to build on data from the HEALEY ALS Platform Trial, where CNM-Au8 showed encouraging neuroprotective signals over a six-month period.

Alongside the biomarker study, Clene confirmed two additional FDA meetings are scheduled for the third quarter of 2025. The first will review survival data from patients receiving 30 mg CNM-Au8 compared with controls from another arm of the HEALEY Platform Trial. The second meeting will focus on the company’s multiple sclerosis program, discussing Phase 2 data from the VISIONARY-MS trial and Clene’s plans for a Phase 3 study targeting cognitive outcomes.

The FDA’s engagement on multiple fronts highlights a potentially promising path forward for CNM-Au8, an oral suspension of gold nanocrystals designed to improve cellular energy production and utilization, which is critical for maintaining neuronal health. Clene hopes these data will support broader approval opportunities for ALS, where treatment options remain limited.

In addition to its ALS program, Clene is keeping momentum in its multiple sclerosis research, using similar bioenergetic principles focused on mitochondria within the central nervous system to develop therapies that could improve cognitive outcomes for people living with MS. The company expects its end-of-Phase 2 MS discussion with the FDA in the third quarter will set the stage for a larger Phase 3 trial.

Nutriband Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRB) Added to Four Key Indexes, Rethinking Opioid Safety in a Time of Crisis

Posted on July 3, 2025 by MissionIR
  • Nutriband and Kindeva have completed commercial-scale manufacturing for AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl, a major milestone in the path to FDA approval
  • Updated analyst report raises NTRB’s price target to $15.00 and reiterates an Outperform rating, citing favorable trial pathway and strong execution
  • Aversa abuse-deterrent tech is protected by international patents and may address a global unmet need in safe pain management
  • NTRB boosting their profile and credibility with its recent membership to the Russel Indexes

The opioid crisis remains one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. While synthetic opioids like fentanyl play a crucial role in managing severe pain, their high abuse potential has led to a growing demand for smarter, safer delivery systems. As policymakers, healthcare providers, and regulators seek solutions that balance medical necessity with public safety, innovative technologies are emerging that could reshape how these powerful drugs are administered.

Nutriband and Kindeva Reach Key Manufacturing Milestone

One company aiming to bridge this gap is Nutriband (NASDAQ: NTRB). Recently, Nutriband announced it has completed commercial manufacturing process scale-up for its lead product, AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl, in partnership with global contract manufacturer Kindeva Drug Delivery. The achievement represents a critical step toward launching the world’s first abuse-deterrent transdermal fentanyl patch.

Aversa combines Nutriband’s proprietary abuse-deterrent technology with Kindeva’s FDA-approved fentanyl patch platform, and it is manufactured at Kindeva’s U.S.-based transdermal facility. With this milestone met, the company is now preparing to produce clinical supplies and submit an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application to the FDA.

Unlike many traditional drug development pipelines, Aversa Fentanyl is positioned to follow the streamlined 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, requiring only a single Phase 1 human abuse liability study prior to New Drug Application (“NDA”) submission. According to Noble Capital Markets, this study is low risk and designed to show that the Aversa patch is less attractive to potential abusers.

Analyst Coverage Reflects Confidence in Progress

Reflecting the growing confidence in Nutriband’s commercialization strategy, Noble Capital Markets has reiterated its Outperform rating on NTRB stock and raised its price target to $15.00, citing the company’s progress and efficient execution. The firm’s June 20, 2025, report notes that its prior projections accounted for a potential capital raise earlier in the year, which was ultimately not required, further improving earnings per share projections for FY2027.

The report highlights that AVERSA’s NDA is expected in late 2025 or early 2026, with full-year sales forecasted to begin in 2027. Notably, AVERSA Fentanyl is projected to reach peak U.S. annual sales of $80 to $200 million, depending on market penetration and adoption rates.

Intellectual Property and Global Potential

What makes Aversa especially noteworthy is its broad international patent portfolio, with protections granted in 46 countries, including the U.S., Europe, Japan, China, Canada, and Australia. The technology incorporates aversive agents into transdermal patches to deter abuse, misuse, and accidental exposure, common concerns in both hospital and home settings.

Although Nutriband is initially focused on U.S. approval and market entry, the company has clearly signaled its global ambitions, citing widespread unmet need for safer opioid delivery systems. The transdermal market offers a particularly compelling opportunity due to the ease of use and steady drug release profile of patch-based medications.

Kindeva Collaboration Offers Strategic Manufacturing Edge

Nutriband’s manufacturing partner, Kindeva, brings additional validation to the program. A leading CDMO with global reach, Kindeva offers advanced drug-device manufacturing capabilities, including aseptic fill-finish and sustainable inhalation propellants. By pairing Nutriband’s innovation with Kindeva’s manufacturing muscle, the partnership significantly reduces scale-up risk, a hurdle that has hampered many biopharma startups.

This strategic collaboration not only supports Aversa’s path to market but also sets the stage for future pipeline candidates utilizing the AVERSA platform across other transdermal opioids or CNS drugs.

A Timely Innovation for a Market in Need

As regulatory scrutiny on opioid safety continues to mount, Nutriband’s AVERSA(TM) Fentanyl is emerging as a potential game-changer in both pain management and public health. Its abuse-deterrent properties address core safety concerns without sacrificing therapeutic efficacy, a delicate balance that regulators and prescribers are actively seeking.

With clinical testing expected to begin soon and a regulatory path that’s both clear and efficient, Nutriband is well-positioned to transition from development-stage to commercial-stage in the next 18–24 months.

For Boosting their Investment Strategies

Nutriband was recently awarded with membership to the Russell Microcap, Russell Microcap Growth, Russell 3000E and Russell 3000E Growth Indexes, as part of the 2025 Russell indexes reconstitution. Investment managers and investors commonly use Russell indexes to construct index funds and as benchmarks for evaluating active investment strategies. Gareth Sheridan, CEO of Nutriband Inc. explained, “Being added to the four Russell indexes is a great honor for us as a company as we continue to strive towards building shareholder value and progressing the development of our AVERSA pipeline and in particular AVERSA Fentanyl which has the potential to reach peak annual US sales of $80 million to $200 million. We believe our addition now reflects a market focus on us as a company and the momentum we are building to revolutionize the safety profile of easily abused medications while making these medications available to those in need as a result,”

SolarBank Corp. (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) Continues to Target Data Center Boom with Renewable Energy Focus Amid Soaring AI Power Demands

Posted on July 3, 2025 by MissionIR
  • The company announced its expansion into the $395 billion global data center market as a developer, owner, and strategic partner.
  • The move underscores SolarBank’s commitment to integrating renewable energy in diverse, emerging sectors.
  • AI data centers are projected to need 30 times more power by 2035, creating a critical opportunity for clean energy solutions.
  • The company joins tech giants and specialized data center providers focused on sustainability and resilience in digital infrastructure.

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation

SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S., continues its focus on  the rapidly growing data center sector, highlighting its plan to serve as a developer, owner, and partner in one of the world’s fastest-expanding infrastructure markets. This focus comes as the global data center industry is forecast to reach $395 billion by 2030, fueled by explosive demand for cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies (https://ibn.fm/8SI6a).

SolarBank’s focus arrives at a pivotal time for the sector. According to Deloitte, the power consumption of AI data centers could jump from 4 gigawatts today to 123 gigawatts by 2035, a thirtyfold increase that will stretch existing power grids and infrastructure (https://ibn.fm/bFoCC). The scale of that growth underscores a crucial challenge: meeting enormous power demands while maintaining environmental responsibility.

Richard Lu, CEO of SolarBank, described the expansion as a natural progression of the company’s mission (https://ibn.fm/ohBpQ). “Our experience in renewable energy will enable us to deliver energy-efficient, carbon-reducing data centers to support today’s data needs and tomorrow’s technological advancements,” Lu said.

The stakes are high. Deloitte warns that while data centers can be built relatively quickly, delays in power infrastructure, including long lead times for new gas plants and seven-year waits for grid connections, risk bottlenecking AI growth. Simultaneously, the data center sector faces skilled labor shortages, supply chain challenges, and increasingly strict environmental regulations, complicating timelines for construction and permitting.

Amid these headwinds, SolarBank is positioning its renewable energy expertise as a potential solution. The company intends to build partnerships in energy-efficient, low-carbon data center infrastructure, addressing the industry’s carbon footprint and helping data centers meet their sustainability targets. SolarBank’s move parallels efforts by Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which have poured billions into ensuring their data centers align with climate goals.

In fact, large tech companies and specialized data center operators, from Meta Platforms to Equinix and Digital Realty, have collectively invested over $100 billion in new facilities over the past five years. Like SolarBank, these firms see sustainability as a critical differentiator as they navigate rising power demands and public pressure to decarbonize.

SolarBank is expanding into the data center industry, but does not currently have any data center projects under development nor any for which it has secured rights. SolarBank does not have any contracts with the parties mentioned in this report. It is in discussions with various other parties regarding potential data center opportunities and will provide details in a future news release if an agreement to acquire or develop a data center is concluded.

As SolarBank broadens its reach, it is exploring strategic partnerships with existing data center developers and infrastructure specialists. The company aims to create solutions that are scalable, resilient, and future-focused, offering not only power capacity but also lower carbon intensity in an industry often criticized for its heavy energy consumption.

As Lu noted, “Expanding into the data center business aligns with our vision of creating a resilient and sustainable energy grid.” That vision appears increasingly relevant as the global economy grows more dependent on digital infrastructure and the electricity to power it.

SolarBank’s foray into data centers underscores its commitment to integrating renewables across emerging and diverse markets, tapping into a powerful trend of decarbonization in mission-critical infrastructure. “As the world accelerates toward a future driven by AI, automation, and clean energy, SolarBank remains committed to delivering innovative, scalable solutions that not only power industries but also empower communities,” Lu concluded.
