- Overcoming a failed primary endpoint for NRX-101 approval.
- Executing the clinic roll-up to diversify revenue streams.
- Securing NRX-100 approval to generate near-term revenue.

Question #1
When confronted with ambiguous clinical data or a commercial setback, does Javitt prioritize a disciplined, objective assessment of the facts, or does he default to crafting a promotional narrative to manage external perception?
Question #2
Given his history of strategic pivots followed by execution failures, how does Javitt balance his focus between developing new, visionary strategies, like a clinic roll-up, and the operational discipline required to execute on the company’s core commitments?
Question #3
Facing a critical cash crunch, will Javitt prioritize the disciplined capital allocation required to achieve a modest, near-term commercial success, or will his track record of pursuing ambitious scientific goals at the expense of shareholder capital prevail?
