Polyrizon announces pre-clinical PL-14 results

Polyrizon (PLRZ) announced results from a recent pre-clinical study evaluating the allergen-blocking performance of its PL-14 Allergy Blocker formulation. The study was designed to simulate allergen exposure conditions and assess the ability of PL-14 to prevent allergen penetration through a hydrogel barrier. In the pre-clinical study, Der p 1 allergen, a major house dust mite allergen, was applied atop the PL-14 formulation. Samples were collected beneath the formulation at multiple time points to measure the quantity and pace of allergen penetration. The results demonstrated that PL-14 effectively limited allergen diffusion over time, forming an effective nasal barrier against the house dust mite allergen. Key results include: After one hour: Only 1.07% of the allergen passed through. After two hours: Penetration remained minimal at 1.14%. After four hours: Still highly effective, with just 13.6% diffusion. These findings emphasize the potentially strong barrier properties of PL-14, particularly during the critical early hours of exposure when allergen contact is most likely to trigger immune responses. Importantly, the allergen load used in this study was estimated to be tens of times higher than typical real-world exposure levels during allergy seasons, based on published clinical studies conducted in controlled allergen challenge chambers. This suggests that PL-14 may offer robust protection even under extreme allergen conditions.
