Event Summary

BeyondSpring reported new preclinical data at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) demonstrating that its drug, Plinabulin, significantly enhances the efficacy and tolerability of Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). The data showed that Plinabulin, when combined with leading ADCs like T-DXd and Dato-DXd, produced stronger anticancer activity, better tolerability by reducing animal death and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, and immune system activation. This synergistic effect is attributed to Plinabulin's GEF-H1 agonist mechanism, which activates biological pathways not targeted by ADCs alone. BeyondSpring plans to advance its DUBLIN-4 confirmatory Phase 3 program, building on these results and exploring broader opportunities for Plinabulin in ADC-based regimens. Lan Huang, CEO of BeyondSpring, expressed strong conviction in Plinabulin's potential, while Min Qiu highlighted the strategic role of BeyondSpring's China operations and collaborations, such as with Shanghai Chest Hospital, in its global development.
