BeyondSpring

BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative cancer therapies to improve clinical outcomes. The Company is developing treatments in two of the world's largest markets, China and the United States. BeyondSpring's first-in-class lead asset plinabulin, a selective immunomodulating microtubule-binding agent, is being developed as a "pipeline in a drug" with potential to be an anti-cancer agent and to prevent chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN). In the DUBLIN-3 Phase 3 study, the plinabulin and docetaxel combination met the primary endpoint of extending overall survival, compared to docetaxel alone in 2nd/3rd line non-small cell lung cancer (EGFR wild type). In addition, the plinabulin and G-CSF combination for the prevention of CIN has demonstrated positive Phase 3 data, for which it received Breakthrough status in the U.S. and China. Plinabulin is also currently being studied as part of other immuno-oncology (IO) combination regimens that include radiation and/or checkpoint inhibitors for the treatment of a number of cancers. Lastly, BeyondSpring also has three preclinical IO assets and majority ownership in its subsidiary, SEED Therapeutics, which is leveraging a proprietary targeted protein degradation drug discovery platform.
