Analysis

The stock moved +8.3% in the session following this news. A sharp gain following this BIO 2026 update would contrast with several prior clinically positive releases, where three of 5 recent events saw limited upside. Low short positioning tempers squeeze dynamics, so regulatory and legal overhangs could still cap enthusiasm.

Key Terms

benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms, new drug application, investigational new drug
4 terms
benign prostatic hyperplasia medical
"Targeting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms"
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can squeeze the urethra and cause urinary symptoms like weak stream, urgency, and incomplete emptying; think of it as a garden hose being pinched so water flow slows. It matters to investors because it creates steady demand for medications, medical devices and procedures, regulatory approvals, and insurance coverage decisions—factors that can drive revenue and growth in healthcare companies serving an aging population.
lower urinary tract symptoms medical
"Targeting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)"
Lower urinary tract symptoms are a group of problems affecting bladder and urethra function, such as frequent urination, urgent need to go, weak stream, dribbling, or trouble starting and stopping. For investors, these symptoms matter because they drive demand for medicines, medical devices and care services; treating them can be a steady source of revenue much like recurring maintenance for a household appliance that needs ongoing fixes or upgrades.
new drug application regulatory
"Jyong Biotech is accelerating its New Drug Application (NDA) preparations"
A new drug application is a formal request submitted to government regulators seeking approval to market a new medicine. It is like a detailed proposal that shows the drug has been tested for safety and effectiveness. For investors, receiving approval signals that the drug may soon become available for sale, potentially leading to revenue growth and impacting the company's value.
investigational new drug regulatory
"Botreso® and PCP remain investigational new drug candidates and have not been approved"
An investigational new drug is a medication that is still being tested in clinical trials to determine if it is safe and effective for treating a specific condition. For investors, it represents a potential breakthrough that could lead to a new treatment and significant financial gains if successful, but also carries risks since it has not yet been approved for widespread use.

New Taipei City, Taiwan, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jyong Biotech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MENS) (the “Company” or “Jyong Biotech”), a science-driven biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative plant-derived therapeutics, today announced its participation in the BIO International Convention (BIO 2026), held in San Diego, California, from June 22 to June 25, 2026. Having participated in the BIO International Convention for over a decade without missing a single year, Jyong Biotech once again exhibited at the Taiwan Pavilion. The Company conducted in-depth discussions with global pharmaceutical companies, investment institutions, and industry partners and had the opportunity to present the Company and its assets to them.

During the convention, Jyong Biotech presented its botanical new drug candidate, Botreso® (API-1), to international pharmaceutical companies as the Company continues advancing global licensing discussions. Targeting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), the Company has conducted four Phase III clinical trials for Botreso® across the United States and Taiwan. The Company believes the drug candidate offers a potentially attractive solution for long-term treatment needs, backed by its proven safety, tolerability, and clinical profile.

Driven by an aging global population and rising obesity rates, the BPH and LUTS market continues to expand, with the number of BPH patients projected to grow by 35% to 40% between 2021 and 2035 according to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2021) study and BMC Urology. To capitalize on this, Jyong Biotech is accelerating its New Drug Application (NDA) preparations and global licensing plans. Supported by initial licensing agreement and active discussions with several pharmaceutical partners, the Company aims to expedite commercialization in key markets—including the US, Europe, and Asia—through regional licensing and strategic alliances.

Reflecting on the event, Ms. Fu-Feng Kuo, Chairwoman of Jyong Biotech, stated, “Having the opportunity to meet with international pharmaceutical companies at BIO 2026 is an important step in entering the global market. Guided by a commitment to clinical trials and scientific evidence, we are dedicated to developing plant-derived therapeutics that offer both safety and efficacy. We hope to provide global patients with additional treatment options and contribute to advancements in the botanical drug sector.” Moving forward, Jyong Biotech will continue to pursue its global development strategy through technology out-licensing, co-development, and regional partnerships.

As of the date of this press release, Botreso® and PCP remain investigational new drug candidates and have not been approved for commercial use in any jurisdiction. Jyong Biotech will comply with applicable regulatory disclosure obligations and provide timely, accurate, and complete updates on material developments.
