All 120 planned participants randomized across five clinical sites in the United States
Raanana, Israel, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Polyrizon Ltd. (Nasdaq: PLRZ) (the “Company” or “Polyrizon”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of innovative intranasal hydrogels, today announced the successful completion of patient enrollment and randomization in its U.S. multicenter clinical study evaluating NASARIX, the Company’s proprietary investigational nasal hydrogel product candidate designed to provide protection against airborne allergens.
The study has reached its planned enrollment target, with 120 participants randomized across five clinical research sites in the United States. A total of 144 individuals were screened to achieve the enrollment target.
The clinical study is designed to evaluate the performance of NASARIX in adults with allergic rhinitis. NASARIX utilizes Polyrizon’s proprietary Capture and Contain™ technology, which forms a protective mucoadhesive barrier within the nasal cavity, designed to limit allergen contact with the nasal mucosa.
“Completing enrollment and randomization of all 120 participants represents an important milestone in the clinical development of NASARIX,” said Tomer Izraeli, Chief Executive Officer of Polyrizon. “With enrollment now complete across five U.S. clinical sites, we are focused on completing the remaining study activities and advancing toward the clinical data readout. We believe that this achievement marks another important step in our efforts to bring our innovative nasal barrier technology closer to patients.”
The randomized, controlled clinical study compares NASARIX with a saline control and is designed to assess its performance in managing symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. Following completion of the treatment and follow-up periods, the Company expects to proceed with data review and analysis in accordance with the clinical study protocol.
About Polyrizon
Polyrizon is a development stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative medical device hydrogels delivered in the form of nasal sprays, which form a thin hydrogel-based shield containment barrier in the nasal cavity that can provide a barrier against viruses and allergens from contacting the nasal epithelial tissue. Polyrizon’s proprietary Capture and Contain TM, or C&C, hydrogel technology, comprised of a mixture of naturally occurring building blocks, is delivered in the form of nasal sprays, and potentially functions as a “biological mask” with a thin shield containment barrier in the nasal cavity. Polyrizon are further developing certain aspects of our C&C hydrogel technology such as the bioadhesion and prolonged retention at the nasal deposition site for intranasal delivery of drugs. Polyrizon refers to its additional technology, which is in an earlier stage of pre-clinical development, that is focused on nasal delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, as Trap and Target, or T&T.
