Bluejay Diagnostics Announces Acceptance Of Abstract Related To Symphony IL-6 Test For Presentation At SAEM Annual Meeting

ACTON, Mass., April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX), today announced acceptance of an abstract related to the Symphony IL-6 Test, the company's lead product candidate, for presentation at the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine (SAEM) Annual Meeting, taking place in Philadelphia May 13-16, 2025. Results from SYMON-I, a pilot clinical study of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in sepsis patients intended or admitted for the intensive care unit (ICU), will be presented. SYMON-I evaluated IL-6 as a prognosticator for 28-day mortality and exploratory endpoints including 7-day mortality and microbiological positivity.

"Early use of IL-6 in sepsis and septic shock patients shows promise in prognosticating short-term and mid-term mortality, and in predicting the development of microbiological positive cultures," said Nathan Shapiro, M.D., Vice Chairman of Emergency Medicine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "The findings from SYMON-I raise the potential to use IL-6 measured in the emergency department for early prognosis and to guide management in sepsis."

"The 2025 SAEM Annual Meeting provides a timely opportunity to engage with emergency medicine professionals and share important information related to the role of IL-6 as an early biomarker for the inflammatory response and in the management of sepsis patients," said Mark Feinberg, M.D., Chief Medical Advisor at Bluejay Diagnostics and Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Enrollment in our SYMON-II validation clinical study is underway, which will help define IL-6 as a prognostic biomarker for mortality and other impactful critical care endpoints."
