PLRZ — EPO publishes European patent application for mucoadhesive 'Trap & Target' nasal delivery tech
AI Summary
Polyrizon (PLRZ) said the European Patent Office published its European application EP 4751737 covering Trap & Target, a mucoadhesive polymer platform designed to increase nasal residence time and improve drug absorption for intranasal drug delivery. The publication strengthens Polyrizon's IP portfolio and could support future European partnering or commercialization if granted, but the application is still under examination and issuance is not assured.
