Polyrizon Completes FDA Pre-Submission Meeting for PL-14 Allergy Blocker Nasal Spray
Ra'anana, Israel, Dec. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polyrizon Ltd. (NASDAQ:PLRZ) ("Polyrizon" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company focusing on the development of intranasal products, today announces that it has successfully completed a pre-submission meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding its PL-14 Allergy Blocker product, a novel nasal spray designed to provide protective intranasal barrier functionality.
During the meeting, Polyrizon presented the general development program plan for PL-14, including the proposed manufacturing process, analytical and quality controls, and the structure of the stability program that will support future regulatory submissions. The Company also reviewed its planned biocompatibility assessment package and additional preclinical studies aligned with the FDA's "Guidance for Nasal Spray and Inhalation Drug Products," ensuring that all critical safety and performance elements are addressed.
In addition, Polyrizon discussed the clinical development strategy for PL-14, towards the clinical trials that are expected to commence 2026, outlining the intended study designs and endpoints to support evaluation of safety and performance in accordance with FDA expectations.
According to Business Research Insights market report, the global allergen blocker market is projected to reach USD $210M by 2033. Thie market has been expanding as a result of the rising incidence of allergies, greater public understanding of allergens and how they affect health, and rising demand for allergy relief products. Globally, allergies such allergic rhinitis, asthma, and eczema have increased in frequency. The prevalence of allergies is increasing, which has increased demand for products that can help relieve allergy symptoms.
The Company believes that this pre-submission meeting represents a significant milestone, providing potential early regulatory alignment and clarity on key requirements. The constructive dialogue with the FDA will potentially enable Polyrizon to advance the PL-14 program efficiently and in full compliance with the high regulatory standards required for nasal spray products.
"We believe that this productive engagement with the FDA is an important step in our path toward bringing PL-14 to the market," said Tomer Izraeli, Chief Executive Officer of Polyrizon. "Receiving early guidance helps us strengthen our development strategy, validate our approach, and design our program to be aligned with the stringent expectations of the FDA. We look forward to continuing to progress this promising product toward future clinical and regulatory milestones."
Polyrizon remains committed to advancing PL-14 as a safe, effective, and innovative solution designed to help protect individuals from airborne allergens and environmental particulates.
