The spray is called "Pathogen Capture and Neutralizing Spray" (PCANS) for now

This data suggest PCANS as a promising daily-use prophylactic against respiratory infections.

The study is paywalled, and the abstract doesn't list its ingredients beyond

The formulation consists of excipients identified from the FDA's Inactive Ingredient Database and Generally Recognized as Safe list to maximize efficacy for each step in the multi-modal approach.

Based on that description, its ingredients might not be very different from Covixyl, though it claims to be much more effective.

Edit: Apparently its already for sale, I included some details in a comment

Apparently the company calls it Profi and it's already for sale for

$25 per bottlebut with a 15-25% discount if you do a subscription instead of a 1-time purchase. The amount of discount depends on how frequent your subscription is, though maybe you can just choose the most often one and cancel immediately anyway

Its ingredient list: pectin, gellan, phenylethyl alcohol, polysorbate 80, benzalkonium chloride, purified water

They say that it can be used up to 3 times per day but that there should be at least a 4-hour gap between uses

Their site's Read the Science link takes you to the paywalled paper

The paper looks to be a pure theory paper that contains no information on human trials. It's frankly bizarre that they're already selling this, and I'd recommend not buying it until it has passed human trials.

"Read the science"

Who ever spoke this word first should be in the lowest layer of hell.
