Bluejay Diagnostics Provides Second Quarter Business and Corporate Update

ACTON, Mass., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX) ("Bluejay" or the "Company"), a medical diagnostics company developing near-patient solutions for critical care, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and provided an update on its Symphony IL-6 test program and key operational milestones.

Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights

• SYMON-II Pivotal Clinical Study Underway: Bluejay has initiated patient enrollment in the SYMON-II pivotal clinical trial, designed to validate findings from the successful SYMON-I pilot study. Early indicators show continued clinical momentum. The trial aims to assess the predictive performance of IL-6 levels in ICU patients for 28-day all-cause mortality.
• Symphony IL-6 Development and Regulatory Pathway: Bluejay remains on track to complete SYMON-II sample testing by the end of 2026, with a target 510(k) submission to the FDA in 2027.
• Strategic Manufacturing Alignment with SanyoSeiko: Bluejay continues to work closely with SanyoSeiko Co., Ltd. as its contract manufacturing organization (CMO) for the Symphony analyzer. In parallel, the Company is advancing plans to secure cartridge redevelopment and validation manufacturing through a qualified FDA-registered CMO. These steps aim to ensure regulatory-grade supply chain readiness for clinical validation and commercialization.
• Amended License & Supply Agreement with Toray Industries: On July 23, 2025, Bluejay entered into an amendment with Toray Industries, extending the timeline to establish alternate cartridge manufacturing to October 2026. The amendment also confirms completion of Toray's know-how transfer and final supply obligations—strengthening Bluejay's independence in future manufacturing.
• Financing Progress and Outlook: In April 2025, Bluejay raised gross proceeds of $3.85 million through a warrant inducement financing. The Company anticipates requiring additional capital through 2027 to support manufacturing readiness, clinical trials, and regulatory activities. The Company is actively exploring strategic and institutional financing avenues to meet these milestones.
