BeyondSpring (NASDAQ: BYSI) announced the enrollment of the first patient in its Phase 2 trial for Plinabulin, combined with Merck's Keytruda and Docetaxel, targeting metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who have experienced disease progression after immunotherapy. This study aims to address the significant unmet medical need among these patients, as anti-PD-1 therapies often lead to resistance. The trial is underway at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, with promising data suggesting that Plinabulin may enhance efficacy against advanced cancer, evidenced by a previously noted 40% response rate in a related study.
BeyondSpring Inc. (BYSI) announced that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement after its shares closed above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. This compliance issue, previously disclosed, is now closed. However, the company was notified of a compliance issue regarding timely filing of its Form 6-K for the period ended June 30, 2022, with a deadline to submit a compliance plan by March 2023. Despite this, there is no immediate effect on the trading of its shares. BeyondSpring is focused on developing innovative cancer therapies, with positive Phase 3 data from its lead asset, plinabulin.
BeyondSpring (Nasdaq: BYSI) recently presented data from multiple conferences, showcasing the effectiveness of its lead drug, plinabulin, in preventing docetaxel-induced neutropenia (DIN) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and breast cancer patients. Analyses revealed that plinabulin significantly reduced the mean duration of severe neutropenia by more than one day compared to standard treatment. The drug demonstrated a favorable safety profile, maintaining quality of life with minimal side effects. This positions plinabulin as a promising alternative for managing DIN in chemotherapy.
BeyondSpring Inc. (Nasdaq: BYSI) received notification from Nasdaq on November 18, 2022, indicating non-compliance with the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, effective after 30 consecutive days below this threshold.

BeyondSpring announced significant data on plinabulin from the ESMO Congress 2022. This data demonstrates plinabulin's ability to rapidly (within 24 hours) mitigate chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression by protecting granulocyte-monocyte progenitor (GMP) stem cells. In the Phase 2/3 PROTECTIVE-1 and PROTECTIVE-2 trials, plinabulin showed a statistically significant increase in absolute neutrophil counts compared to control (p<0.0001). This positions plinabulin as a novel asset in preventing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, enhancing treatment safety for cancer patients.
BeyondSpring (NASDAQ: BYSI) announced new data from a study presented at the 19th International Myeloma Society Annual Meeting. The study evaluated the combination of plinabulin and pegfilgrastim in multiple myeloma patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Results showed that only 10% of patients experienced non-engagement-related febrile neutropenia, significantly lower than the historical rate of 60%. The study continues, aiming to evaluate neutropenia burden and overall patient outcomes.
BeyondSpring (NASDAQ: BYSI) announced three significant poster presentations at the ASCO Annual Meeting, highlighting crucial data on chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatments.
