Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Polyrizon Ltd., a pre-clinical-stage biotech company focused on intranasal technologies, reported results from a comparative study of its naloxone nasal formulation against a commercial reference product. Using a validated silicone nasal cast model at the University of Parma’s Biopharmanet-TEC research center, the study evaluated where in the nose each product was deposited.

Polyrizon’s formulation showed significantly higher deposition in the highly vascularized upper/anterior nasal region, which is important for rapid systemic drug absorption. The company views these data as supporting its Trap & Target™ platform’s ability to control regional nasal deposition and is continuing to advance its naloxone program within a broader intranasal platform strategy.

Polyrizon Announces Successful Study of its Naloxone Formulation Demonstrating Enhanced Nasal Deposition Profile Versus Commercial Reference Product

 

Raanana, Israel, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polyrizon Ltd. (Nasdaq: PLRZ) (“Polyrizon” or the “Company”), a pre-clinical-stage biotechnology company developing intranasal administrated solutions, today announced results from a comparative study evaluating the regional nasal deposition profile of its naloxone formulation versus a commercial reference product.

 

The study was conducted at the University of Parma’s Biopharmanet-TEC research center under the scientific supervision of Prof. Fabio Sonvico. The laboratory specializes in the research and development of intranasally administered technologies.

 

The evaluation was performed using a validated silicone nasal cast model (Koken® LM-005) combined with quantitative image analysis. Results demonstrated that Polyrizon’s formulation achieved significantly higher deposition in the nasal vestibule region compared to the commercial reference product.

 

Key Findings:

 

Polyrizon’s advanced nasal formulation achieved 94.6% (±4.0%) deposition in the nasal vestibule and upper turbinate, a highly vascularized region that may support rapid systemic absorption and potentially enhance the onset and bioavailability of intranasally administered drugs.

 

In comparison, the reference commercial product delivered only 79.6% (±3.0%) to the same nasal cavity area.

 

Polyrizon’s formulation also showed significantly lower deposition in the lower turbinate region (5.4% vs. 20.4% for the commercial product), potentially reducing posterior runoff and unintended drainage toward the nasopharynx, which may support improved dosing consistency and systemic delivery efficiency.

 

The upper/anterior nasal region (upper turbinate and vestibule) is highly vascularized and plays a critical role in rapid systemic drug absorption. Enhanced and reproducible targeting of this region suggests that Polyrizon’s Trap & Target™ technology enables controlled regional deposition within the nasal cavity.

 

“This evaluation demonstrates the ability of our platform technology to modulate and control nasal deposition patterns compared to an established commercial product,” said Tomer Izraeli, CEO of Polyrizon. “We believe that these results further validate our formulation-engineering approach and strengthen the differentiation of our intranasal platform.”

 

Polyrizon continues to advance its naloxone program as part of its broader intranasal platform strategy.

 

 

 

 

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 February 2026 Form 6-K?

Polyrizon announced results from a comparative study of its naloxone nasal formulation versus a commercial reference product. The study showed significantly higher deposition in a key nasal region, supporting its intranasal Trap & Target™ technology platform development efforts.

How did Polyrizon’s naloxone formulation perform versus the commercial reference product?

Polyrizon’s naloxone formulation achieved significantly higher deposition in the upper/anterior nasal region than the commercial reference product. This highly vascularized area is important for rapid systemic absorption, suggesting the company’s technology can better target this critical region intranasally.

Where was Polyrizon’s naloxone nasal deposition study conducted?

The naloxone study was conducted at the University of Parma’s Biopharmanet-TEC research center under Prof. Fabio Sonvico. Researchers used a validated Koken® LM-005 silicone nasal cast model combined with quantitative image analysis to assess regional nasal deposition patterns.

What is Polyrizon’s Trap & Target™ (T&T) intranasal technology?

Trap & Target™ is Polyrizon’s early-stage intranasal delivery platform focused on regional targeting of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The naloxone study suggests this technology can modulate and control nasal deposition patterns compared with an established commercial product, supporting further development.

How does this naloxone study fit into Polyrizon’s broader strategy?

Polyrizon is advancing its naloxone program as part of a broader intranasal platform strategy. Positive deposition data support the differentiation of its intranasal technologies and complement its Capture and Contain™ hydrogel platform, which aims to create protective nasal barriers.

What stage of development is Polyrizon (PLRZ) currently in?

Polyrizon describes itself as a pre-clinical or development-stage biotechnology company. It focuses on innovative intranasal medical device hydrogels and drug delivery technologies, including its Capture and Contain™ barrier platform and its Trap & Target™ intranasal drug delivery approach.
