TAIPEI, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jyong Biotech Ltd. (Nasdaq: MENS) (the "Company" or "Jyong Biotech"), a science-driven biotechnology company dedicated to the development and commercialization of innovative plant-derived therapeutics, today announced its participation in the BIO International Convention (BIO 2026), held in San Diego, California, from June 22 to June 25, 2026. Having participated in the BIO International Convention for over a decade without missing a single year, Jyong Biotech once again exhibited at the Taiwan Pavilion. The Company conducted in-depth discussions with global pharmaceutical companies, investment institutions, and industry partners and had the opportunity to present the Company and its assets to them.

During the convention, Jyong Biotech presented its botanical new drug candidate, Botreso® (API-1), to international pharmaceutical companies as the Company continues advancing global licensing discussions. Targeting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), the Company has conducted four Phase III clinical trials for Botreso® across the United States and Taiwan. The Company believes the drug candidate offers a potentially attractive solution for long-term treatment needs, backed by its proven safety, tolerability, and clinical profile.

Driven by an aging global population and rising obesity rates, the BPH and LUTS market continues to expand, with the number of BPH patients projected to grow by 35% to 40% between 2021 and 2035 according to the Global Burden of Disease (GBD 2021) study and BMC Urology. To capitalize on this, Jyong Biotech is accelerating its New Drug Application (NDA) preparations and global licensing plans. Supported by initial licensing agreement and active discussions with several pharmaceutical partners, the Company aims to expedite commercialization in key markets—including the US, Europe, and Asia—through regional licensing and strategic alliances.

Reflecting on the event, Ms. Fu-Feng Kuo, Chairwoman of Jyong Biotech, stated, "Having the opportunity to meet with international pharmaceutical companies at BIO 2026 is an important step in entering the global market. Guided by a commitment to clinical trials and scientific evidence, we are dedicated to developing plant-derived therapeutics that offer both safety and efficacy. We hope to provide global patients with additional treatment options and contribute to advancements in the botanical drug sector." Moving forward, Jyong Biotech will continue to pursue its global development strategy through technology out-licensing, co-development, and regional partnerships.

As of the date of this press release, Botreso® and PCP remain investigational new drug candidates and have not been approved for commercial use in any jurisdiction. Jyong Biotech will comply with applicable regulatory disclosure obligations and provide timely, accurate, and complete updates on material developments.
