ACTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2026 / Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX) ("Bluejay" or the "Company"), a medical diagnostics company developing rapid, near-patient testing solutions for critical care, today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided an update on its clinical, regulatory and manufacturing progress for the Symphony™ platform.

During the quarter and subsequent weeks, Bluejay achieved several important milestones, including completion of enrollment in its SYMON-II clinical validation study, establishment of an alternative manufacturing facility ahead of a contractual deadline, and continued advancement of its U.S. manufacturing and commercialization infrastructure.

"The third quarter marked significant progress for Bluejay as we advanced several critical elements toward regulatory submission and commercialization," said Neil Dey, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With SYMON-II enrollment completed, important manufacturing milestones achieved, and U.S. supply chain infrastructure enhanced, I believe that we have meaningfully reduced several key development and operational risks. Going forward, our focus remains on completing clinical and analytical validation and preparing for company's planned FDA submission in the first half of 2027."

Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

Clinical Development and Regulatory Progress

• Successfully completed SYMON-II clinical study enrollment, exceeding the original target of 750 patients.
• Preliminary baseline analysis of 777 evaluable patients identified 140 deaths within 28 days, representing approximately 18% mortality, providing a substantial clinical dataset for evaluating IL-6 prognostic performance.
• Initiated preliminary sample testing and patient data analysis, with final analytical testing to follow cartridge verification and validation.
• Continued advancing toward a planned FDA 510(k) submission for Symphony IL-6 during the first half of 2027, subject to successful validation.

Manufacturing and Commercial Readiness

• Established an alternative Symphony cartridge manufacturing site through Sanyoseiko ahead of the October 23, 2026 contractual deadline under the Company's agreement with Toray Industries.
• Advanced U.S. manufacturing capabilities through ALURIS Sciences (previously Argonaut Manufacturing), supporting cartridge production, quality activities, packaging and distribution.
• Continued developing commercial infrastructure, including a entering into a distribution agreement with Lovell Government Services to support potential access to U.S. government healthcare markets.
• Progressed an exploratory artificial intelligence initiative evaluating the potential integration of IL-6 measurements and clinical data for future sepsis risk stratification applications.

These initiatives are intended to strengthen manufacturing reliability, reduce supply chain concentration risk and support potential commercialization following regulatory authorization.

As of September 30, 2026, Bluejay had $7.38 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared with $5.16 million at December 31, 2025.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was approximately $5.09 million. Based on current operating plans, the Company estimates that existing cash resources will support operations through the second quarter of 2027. Additional financing will be required to support its longer-term development and commercialization plans.

Outlook

Bluejay remains focused on completing SYMON-II clinical analysis, advancing analytical validation and manufacturing qualification, and preparing its planned FDA 510(k) submission during the first half of 2027.

"Our achievements in clinical development and manufacturing have positioned us to focus on the next critical phase of execution towards commercial readiness," continued Mr. Dey. "We remain committed to disciplined capital allocation, regulatory progress and building a scalable diagnostic platform with the potential to address important unmet needs in critical care."

Potential Importance of Rapid IL-6 Information

Sepsis is a highly heterogeneous and rapidly evolving condition. Patients presenting with severe infection may follow substantially different clinical trajectories, creating a need for timely information that can help clinicians assess patient risk.

Bluejay is developing the Symphony™ Suite as a rapid quantitative biomarker assay platform. The Company's development strategy is intended to bring quantitative biomarker information closer to the patient and make results available rapidly enough to potentially complement clinical assessment and established measures of disease severity.

The Company is continuing its analysis of clinical samples and data as part of its SYMON-II pivotal study, including evaluation of IL-6 measurements and their relationship to 28-day mortality and other relevant clinical parameters. The baseline characteristics announced to date do not themselves establish the prognostic performance, clinical utility, sensitivity, specificity or regulatory acceptability of the Symphony™ IL-6 Test. Those conclusions will depend upon completion of the planned analyses.

The Symphony™ IL-6 Test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and is not currently available for commercial clinical use in the United States.

About the SYMON Clinical Study Program:

The SYMON Clinical Study Program includes SYMON-I (clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT06181604), SYMON-II (NCT06654895), and SYMON-III (NCT07425587). SYMON-I is a pilot study to determine IL-6 levels associated with various endpoints, including, but not limited to 28-day all-cause mortality and in-hospital mortality. The SYMON-II study is the pivotal study to validate the outcomes of the SYMON-I study, which the Company plans to use to support a 510(k) application to FDA. The SYMON-III study is a pilot study to determine IL-6 levels associated with patients presenting with increasing severity of infection in the emergency department and risk of developing sepsis.

About Bluejay Diagnostics:

Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. is a medical diagnostics company focused on improving patient outcomes using its Symphony™ System, a cost-effective, rapid, near-patient testing system for sepsis triage and monitoring of disease progression. Bluejay does not yet have regulatory clearance for the Symphony™ System, and we will need to receive regulatory authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before Symphony™ can be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States. Bluejay's first product candidate, an IL-6 Test for sepsis, is designed to provide accurate, reliable results in approximately 20 minutes from 'sample-to-result' to help medical professionals make earlier and better triage/treatment decisions.
