Insights

Polyrizon secures its first U.S. site for a planned PL-14 allergy trial, moving closer to human data.

Polyrizon has signed a Clinical Trial Agreement with a Texas-based allergy research site for its PL-14 NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker. The study will compare PL-14 against saline in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis, focusing on efficacy, safety, and tolerability.

The product is described as an investigational intranasal hydrogel that creates a non-pharmacological barrier to airborne allergens. The trial will follow international Good Clinical Practice guidelines, aligning with broader regulatory expectations and supporting a transition from purely development-stage work toward potential clinical validation.

This step does not include clinical results or timelines, but it does indicate operational progress toward initiating a first-in-human, multi-center trial. Subsequent disclosures on study start, enrollment progress, and top-line data will be important to understand PL-14’s clinical performance and regulatory trajectory.

seasonal allergic rhinitis medical
"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.

Intranasal hydrogels are soft, water-rich gel medicines applied inside the nose that cling to nasal tissue and release drugs slowly over time, like a small gel patch that delivers medication directly where it can be absorbed. They matter to investors because this delivery approach can make drugs more effective or convenient, enable treatments that otherwise fail when swallowed, reduce side effects or dosing frequency, and therefore influence clinical success, regulatory approval and commercial potential.

Polyrizon Advances Towards Human Clinical Trials: Secures First U.S. Clinical Site for NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker Clinical Trial

 

Raanana, Israel, May 13, 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 the signing of its first Clinical Trial Agreement (CTA) with a U.S.-based clinical research site specializing in allergy studies, marking a key milestone toward the initiation of its clinical program for the NASARIXTM (PL-14) Allergy Blocker.

 

The clinical site, located in Texas, will serve as the first participating center in Polyrizon’s planned multi-center study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the NASARIXTM Allergy Blocker in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

 

The clinical study, titled “Evaluation of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of PL-14 Allergy Blocker Compared to Saline Spray in Patients with Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis”, will assess the performance of Polyrizon’s investigational nasal spray designed to create a protective barrier against airborne allergens.

 

“This agreement represents an important step in transitioning NASARIXTM from development stage into potential clinical validation,” said Tomer Izraeli, CEO of Polyrizon. “We are pleased to collaborate with an experienced clinical team as we advance toward initiating our first-in-human clinical study.”

 

The study is planned as a multi-center trial, with additional clinical sites expected to be added in the coming months. The trial will be conducted in accordance with international Good Clinical Practice (GCP) standards and applicable regulatory requirements, supporting Polyrizon’s broader regulatory strategy.

 

NASARIXTM is an investigational intranasal formulation designed to provide a non-pharmacological barrier against allergens, with the goal of preventing allergic reactions at the point of entry.

 

 

 

 

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.

FAQ

What did Polyrizon (PLRZ) announce in its latest 6-K filing?

Polyrizon announced it signed its first U.S. Clinical Trial Agreement for its PL-14 NASARIX™ Allergy Blocker. The Texas clinical site will participate in a multi-center study evaluating efficacy, safety, and tolerability in seasonal allergic rhinitis under international Good Clinical Practice standards.

What is Polyrizon’s PL-14 NASARIX Allergy Blocker intended to do?

PL-14 NASARIX Allergy Blocker is an investigational intranasal formulation designed to create a barrier against airborne allergens. The goal is to prevent allergic reactions at the point of entry in the nasal cavity, offering a non-pharmacological approach for people with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Where is Polyrizon’s first U.S. clinical trial site located for PL-14?

The first U.S. clinical site for Polyrizon’s PL-14 NASARIX Allergy Blocker trial is in Texas at an allergy-focused clinical research center. This site will be the initial location in a planned multi-center human study in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis.

What will Polyrizon’s planned PL-14 clinical study evaluate?

The planned study, titled “Evaluation of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of PL-14 Allergy Blocker Compared to Saline Spray,” will compare PL-14 to saline. It will assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability in patients suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis in a multi-center setting.

How does Polyrizon’s hydrogel technology work in its nasal sprays?

Polyrizon’s proprietary hydrogel technology forms a thin containment barrier in the nasal cavity. Delivered via nasal spray, it is designed to act as a “biological mask,” capturing and containing viruses or allergens before they contact nasal epithelial tissue and potentially cause reactions.

What other technologies is Polyrizon (PLRZ) developing beyond PL-14?

Beyond PL-14, Polyrizon is advancing its Capture and Contain (C&C) hydrogel platform and an earlier-stage Trap and Target (T&T) technology. T&T focuses on intranasal delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients using enhanced bioadhesion and prolonged retention in the nasal cavity.
