Analyst Note
| Jay Lee |On Dec. 1, the Chinese biotech company BeyondSpring Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: BYSI, not covered) received a complete response letter, or CRL, from the U.S Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regarding its application for approval of plinabulin for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia, or CIN. Although this is likely contributing to the negative sentiment weighing on the Chinese biotech sector, we believe the read-through to other companies should be limited. We are not updating our fair value estimates s at this time.
