The meta-analysis dataset included data from 36 published world literature in various cancers and chemotherapy and the plinabulin CIN program, including 105 and 106 CIN studies (n=496).
Correlations of exponential equations between the rate of febrile neutropenia, duration of severe neutropenia, and absolute neutrophil count nadir were statistically significant.
In the PROTECTIVE-2 Phase 3 trial, plinabulin/pegfilgrastim combo therapy had superior efficacy in preventing severe neutropenia versus pegfilgrastim alone (68% vs. 86%).
Patients receiving plinabulin and pegfilgrastim recovered to their pre-chemotherapy physical wellbeing levels more rapidly and experienced less deterioration.
Price Action: BYSI stock is down 1.65% at $22.59 during the market session on the last check Thursday.
