Insights

Polyrizon advances NASARIX toward planned Q3 2026 clinical trials with an FDA-style usability study.

Polyrizon is moving its intranasal allergy blocker NASARIX™ along the regulatory path by initiating a usability (human factors) study aligned with U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidance. This work tests real-world use, including labeling and instructions, to generate evidence that the device can be used safely and effectively as intended.

The company states that completing this program should support NASARIX readiness for clinical evaluation and is a key step toward planned clinical trials expected to begin in Q3 2026. While this is an important development milestone, it remains pre-clinical, and future progress will depend on study outcomes and subsequent regulatory interactions. Overall, this is a neutral but meaningful step in de-risking early-stage regulatory review for the product.

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.
