Nasus Pharma Announces Initiation of Phase 2 Clinical Study of NS002 with First Participant Dosed
Nasus Pharma Ltd. recently announced the successful initiation of the Company’s Phase 2 clinical study with dosing of the first participant in Canada. The trial aims to evaluate NS002, the Company’s investigational intranasal epinephrine powder formulation, compared to EpiPen for the treatment of anaphylaxis. NS002 could potentially offer patients a needle-free alternative to traditional epinephrine autoinjectors.
The Phase 2 study is an open-label, fixed-sequence trial designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and hemodynamic responses of NS002 compared to EpiPen in 50 healthy adults with a history of allergic rhinitis. Interim results from this trial are expected in the first quarter of 2026.
“The dosing of the first participant in our Phase 2 study marks a significant milestone for our NS002 program and for patients with severe allergies who need more user-friendly treatment options to manage life-threatening anaphylaxis,” said Dan Teleman, Chief Executive Officer of Nasus Pharma. “We are moving forward at full speed, executing the NS002 development program as planned, and positioning the Company for its next stage of growth. For millions suffering from severe allergies, the fear of needles and the inconvenience of carrying cumbersome autoinjectors leads to poor compliance and potentially life-threatening outcomes in anaphylaxis management.”
Nasus Pharma is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a number of intranasal powder products addressing acute medical conditions in the community. NS002, Nasus’s intranasal powder Epinephrine product candidate is being developed as a needle-free alternative to Epinephrine autoinjectors for patients with anaphylaxis. Intranasal administration is most suitable for those situations in which rapid drug delivery is required and offers needle free, easy to use alternatives. Nasus proprietary powder-based intranasal (“PBI”) technology is designed for rapid and reliable drug delivery, leveraging the nasal cavity’s rich vascular network for quick absorption. The PBI formulation uses uniform spherical powder particles for broad dispersion and potentially faster, higher absorption compared to liquid-based nasal products.
