BeyondSpring’s Abstracts on Clinical Evidence for Bone Marrow Stem Cell Protection as Plinabulin’s Mechanism of Action for CIN Accepted at American Society of Hematology’s 2019 Annual Meeting

Retrieved on: 
Monday, December 9, 2019

Following our previously presented data at ASH 2018, demonstrating evidence of bone marrow CD34+ mobilization with Plinabulin, we now have additional evidence of a bone marrow progenitor stem cell protective effect of Plinabulin as an important MoA for the prevention of CIN.

Key Points: 
  • Following our previously presented data at ASH 2018, demonstrating evidence of bone marrow CD34+ mobilization with Plinabulin, we now have additional evidence of a bone marrow progenitor stem cell protective effect of Plinabulin as an important MoA for the prevention of CIN.
  • This data is particularly intriguing, as Plinabulin appears to protect bone marrow stem cells without causing bone pain, said Dr. Douglas Blayney, the Principal Investigator of the CIN program with Plinabulin.
  • Our collective clinical trial dataset has provided strong evidence of Plinabulins potent ability to prevent CIN through protection from chemo-induced bone marrow suppression, and the data from our abstracts further our understanding of Plinabulins MoA for CIN.
  • Plinabulins CIN data highlights the ability to boost the number of hematopoietic stem / progenitor cells (HSPCs), or lineage-/cKit+/Sca1+ (LSK) cells in mice.
