SEED Therapeutics (Reported as Discontinued Operations):
FLORHAM PARK, N.J., March 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BeyondSpring Inc. (NASDAQ: BYSI) (“BeyondSpring” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage company developing transformative therapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, today announced its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, and highlighted late-stage clinical progress for Plinabulin and strategic developments related to its equity interest in SEED Therapeutics (“SEED”).
2025: Clinical and Operational Progress“2025 was a year of important clinical and operational progress for BeyondSpring and SEED Therapeutics,” said Dr. Lan Huang, Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BeyondSpring. “We advanced our Phase 3 Plinabulin program, generated meaningful clinical data, and strengthened our strategic and financial position.”
“BeyondSpring made meaningful progress advancing Plinabulin in Phase 3 NSCLC, while SEED Therapeutics reached a critical milestone — initiating its first clinical trial following IND clearance in both the U.S. and China — and strengthened its leadership team and capital resources.”
Positioned for 2026 and Beyond“With a solid scientific and clinical foundation and clear regulatory pathways, we believe BeyondSpring and SEED are well positioned for the next stage of development,” Dr. Huang concluded. “As we enter 2026, we remain focused on advancing the DUBLIN-4 confirmatory trial for Plinabulin in non-squamous EGFR wild-type NSCLC post immune checkpoint inhibitors, supporting SEED’s Phase 1a clinical program for ST-01156 in solid tumors, and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
Recent Clinical and Business UpdatesPlinabulin Demonstrates Overall Survival Benefit in Phase 3 NSCLC Study; Confirmatory Trial PlannedThere is a significant unmet need in EGFR wild-type NSCLC following immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, where numerous Phase 3 studies have failed to improve overall survival over standard of care docetaxel.
BeyondSpring reported positive Phase 3 results from the DUBLIN-3 study evaluating plinabulin in combination with docetaxel in second- and third-line (2/3L) EGFR wild-type non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The study demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival (OS) benefit compared to docetaxel alone (ITT, n=559), with results published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
At IASLC North America and ESMO Asia in December 2025, BeyondSpring presented updated data from the mechanism-targeted non-squamous NSCLC population (n=332; 24-month after database lock), in which the combination achieved:
