Welcome to our dedicated page for BeyondSpring Ordinary Shares news (Ticker: BYSI), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on BeyondSpring Ordinary Shares stock.
BeyondSpring Inc. (NASDAQ: BYSI) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative cancer therapies. The company focuses primarily on its lead asset, Plinabulin, a novel cancer therapeutic. Plinabulin is currently in a global Phase 3 trial for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is also being tested in a pivotal global Phase 3 trial for the prevention of docetaxel-induced neutropenia. This compound operates as a tubulin depolymerizing agent and functions through multiple mechanisms of action, including immune system enhancement, tumor cell apoptosis, and vascular disruption.
BeyondSpring is also expanding clinical trials to address additional cancer indications. These include immuno-oncology applications with immune checkpoint inhibitors in NSCLC, central nervous system malignancies such as glioblastoma (GBM), and KRAS-positive mutant cancers.
Recent developments highlight the promising potential of Plinabulin:
- Brain Cancer Research: New preclinical data from the University of Toledo College of Medicine demonstrate Plinabulin's anti-proliferative properties in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) at therapeutic concentrations. The data confirm Plinabulin's ability to block GBM patient-derived sphere invasion and significantly decrease GBM cell survival and microtubule extension.
- Immunotherapy Advancements: BeyondSpring and MD Anderson presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer's (SITC) Annual Meeting, showcasing Plinabulin's immunomodulating activity. The Phase 1 clinical study revealed a high disease control rate in patients with various cancers who had progressed on PD-1, PD-L1, and/or CTLA-4 antibodies.
In addition to its focus on cancer therapies, BeyondSpring has a majority-owned subsidiary, SEED Therapeutics, which is advancing Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) molecular glue technology for innovative drug discovery. SEED has made significant progress, including a collaboration with Eli Lilly for developing oncology assets.
The company continues to advance its programs strategically, with a notable reduction in R&D and G&A expenses in 2023. As of December 31, 2023, BeyondSpring reported $17.9 million in cash and short-term investments, positioning itself well for upcoming milestones in 2024.
BeyondSpring remains committed to improving clinical outcomes for patients with high unmet medical needs through groundbreaking technology and strategic partnerships.
BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals has released new data at the ASH Annual Meeting demonstrating that plinabulin rapidly reverses chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and leukopenia within 24 hours. This effect is attributed to its mechanism of protecting granulocyte-monocyte-progenitor stem cells, with statistical significance marked at p<0.0001. The findings affirm the positive results from the Phase 3 PROTECTIVE-2 study, supporting plinabulin's role in enhancing CIN prevention strategies and potentially improving patient outcomes during chemotherapy.
BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: BYSI) presented analyses from its PROTECTIVE-2 trial at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium on December 10, 2021.
