Seegene USA has received Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA for its Allplex HSV-1&2/VZV/MPXV Assay, a multiplex real-time PCR test that simultaneously detects herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus, and monkeypox virus. It is the first multiplex PCR test designed to support differential diagnosis of viral causes of ulcerative skin lesions in the US market. These pathogens often present with similar clinical symptoms that are difficult to distinguish visually. Research presented at the 2024 Clinical Virology Symposium found that a multiplex PCR assay identified HSV, VZV, or MPXV in 54 out of 966 samples that had previously tested negative using single-pathogen methods. The assay was developed using Seegene's proprietary multiplex PCR technologies and automated product development platform.

It is currently in Phase 1b/2a proof-of-concept development for Type 2 inflammatory disorders including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). * BBT003 and BBT004 are preclinical programs focused on gastroenterology and autoantibody-driven autoimmune diseases, respectively.

Citizens has maintained its Market Outperform rating and $396 price target on BeOne Medicines AG following the company's presentation of tumour clinical data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in June 2026. The firm highlighted three drugs in BeOne's pipeline: BGB-43395 for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, BG-C9074 for ovarian cancer maintenance, and BGB-B2033 for liver cancer. Citizens noted these drugs target patient populations where current treatments are inadequate or non-existent, marking an inflection point for BeOne's oncology strategy. Citizens based its price target on discounted earnings and revenue analysis. The commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company holds $4.85 billion in cash, maintains more cash than debt, and generates 88% gross profit margins.
