Raanana, Israel, Dec. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polyrizon Ltd. (the "Company" or "Polyrizon"), a development stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative intranasal hydrogels, previously announced that it entered into a manufacturing agreement with Eurofins CDMO Amatsiaquitaine S.A.S, a leading European-based Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) manufacturer.

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.
