The Phase 2 study is designed to address regulatory approval considerations by comparing bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of NS002 against EpiPen

Previous clinical study demonstrated NS002 can achieve faster and higher absorption of epinephrine compared to an autoinjector

Dosing of the first participant in the Phase 2 study in Canada reflects the successful initiation of the Company’s needle-free epinephrine delivery program for anaphylaxis treatment

Interim results are expected in the first quarter of 2026

TEL AVIV, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nasus Pharma Ltd. (NYSE: NSRX) ("Nasus Pharma" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative intranasal products to treat emergency medical conditions, today 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.”
