Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Polyrizon Ltd. (PLRZ) reports an operational milestone for its NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker (PL-14) program, having completed contracting with all five U.S. clinical sites for its first-in-human study. The report also incorporates portions of this update by reference into existing Form S-8 and Form F-3 registration statements.

The planned prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, two-arm trial will enroll up to 120 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, randomized 1:1 to NASARIX™ or isotonic saline nasal spray. Primary efficacy will be measured by mean daily reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score over the first 14 treatment days, with safety based on treatment-emergent adverse events and tolerability. Polyrizon is now moving into patient pre-screening and enrollment, timed to relevant allergy seasons.

seasonal allergic rhinitis medical
"designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NASARIX™ in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis"
Seasonal allergic rhinitis, commonly called hay fever, is an immune reaction that causes sneezing, runny or blocked nose, itchy eyes and throat when a person inhales seasonal airborne allergens like pollen. For investors it matters because it drives predictable demand for allergy medicines, over‑the‑counter products and clinical trials, affects workforce productivity and healthcare spending, and can influence sales seasonality the same way an annual weather pattern shapes retail demand.
Total Nasal Symptom Score medical
"primary efficacy endpoint will evaluate the difference between the treatment groups in mean daily reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score"
treatment-emergent adverse events medical
"Safety assessments will include the frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events"
Events or symptoms that either appear for the first time or get worse after a patient starts a treatment; think of new or intensified side effects that show up once medicine or a medical device is used. Investors watch these closely because they affect whether a therapy can gain regulatory approval, be prescribed widely, or face legal and commercial setbacks—similar to how early customer complaints can sink a new product’s prospects.
prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, two-arm clinical trial medical
"The planned first-in-human study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, two-arm clinical trial"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Capture and Contain TM technical

Polyrizon Completes Clinical Site Network for NASARIX™ Study and Advances Toward Patient Enrollment

 

Polyrizon completes contracting with all five U.S. clinical sites and advances its NASARIX™ study toward enrollment of 120 patients

 

Raanana, Israel, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polyrizon Ltd. (Nasdaq: PLRZ) (the “Company” or “Polyrizon”), a development-stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative intranasal hydrogels, today announced that it has completed contracting with the fourth and fifth clinical sites participating in its clinical study of NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker (PL-14).

 

With the execution of these final agreements, Polyrizon has now completed the contracting process with all five clinical sites selected to participate in the study, marking an important operational milestone in the advancement of the NASARIX™ clinical program.

 

The planned first-in-human study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blind, two-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NASARIX™ in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The study is designed to enroll up to 120 randomized patients, with subjects assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker or an isotonic saline nasal spray control.

 

The study’s primary efficacy endpoint will evaluate the difference between the treatment groups in mean daily reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) over the first 14 treatment days. Safety assessments will include the frequency and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events as well as assessments of local and overall tolerability.

 

Secondary efficacy measures are expected to include instantaneous Total Nasal Symptom Score (iTNSS), rhinoconjunctivitis-related quality of life, the number of symptom-free days, and use of permitted relief medication.

 

Following completion of the clinical site contracting process, Polyrizon is advancing the study into the next stage of execution, including patient pre-screening activities and preparations for enrollment. Because the study evaluates seasonal allergic rhinitis under real-world allergen exposure conditions, patient enrollment is planned to coincide with the relevant allergy seasons. Local pollen counts and weather conditions will be monitored to assess airborne allergen exposure and support the timing of recruitment.

 

“Completing agreements with all five clinical sites is an important step in moving NASARIX™ from clinical preparation toward study execution,” said Tomer Izraeli, Chief Executive Officer of Polyrizon. “With the full clinical site network now in place, our focus shifts to patient pre-screening and readiness for enrollment as seasonal allergen exposure increases. We believe this study has the potential to generate important clinical evidence regarding the efficacy, safety and tolerability of NASARIX™ and represents a significant milestone in our strategy to advance the product toward the U.S. market.”
