In May, NRx submitted an application for EUA to the FDA for ZYESAMI (aviptadil) for patients suffering from Critical COVID-19 with respiratory failure.

Cardinal Health Specialty Pharmaceutical Distribution will serve as the exclusive distributor for ZYESAMI, providing access to hospitals for the medicine upon FDA authorization.

“This partnership creates an efficient and highly flexible logistics and distribution model for NRx. Cardinal Health’s expertise will enable ZYESAMI to quickly reach patients in the intensive care units, as limiting the time to treatment is crucial,” said Robert Besthof, Head of Operations and Chief Commercial Officer of NRx. “This also allows NRx to continue focusing on answering requests from the FDA in support of our application for Emergency Use Authorization for ZYESAMI.”
