# Business Overviews Part 1
The Global Influence of TTVR System Continues to Expand
Excellent clinical results were released, attracting high global attention
The one-year follow-up results of TRVEL II study, the multicenter clinical trial of LuX-Valve Plus, were released at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2024 (TCT 2024) conference in the U.S.. The one-year follow-up results demonstrated the outstanding clinical performance of LuX-Valve Plus in the mid-to long term, with low incidence of safety events and improved efficacy after entering into a longer clinical observation period, and bringing ongoing clinical benefits.
Later, the one-year clinical follow-up results for large anatomy patients (LAP) in the TRAVEL II study were published at the PCR London Valves 2024. The outcomes showed that LuX-Valve Plus maintains similar operating time and success rate in LAP, which not only effectively reduced tricuspid regurgitation and significantly improved patients' cardiac function one month after the procedure, but also maintains a very low new pacemaker onset rate at one year. The design and clinical performance of LuX-Valve Plus make it an ideal option for the treatment of LAP and provide remarkable efficacy and safety.
The global experiences and study outcomes of treating TR with LuX-Valve Plus were shared at EuroPCR 2024, New York Valves 2024, AVAM 2024, 11th Mainz Heart Valves Symposium, Hong Kong Valves 2024, and APCASH 2024, which have captured great attention and received favorable comments from professionals and potential business partners around the globe. We have also shared clinical experiences and live cases at China Valve (Hangzhou) 2024, Beijing Valves 2024, and PCRCCV 2024, demonstrating the outstanding post-procedural results and wide range of applicability of LuX-Valve Plus.
The registration clinical trials are being carried out as scheduled both domestically and internationally, while local experience continues to accumulate.
LuX-Valve Plus has completed the one-year follow-up of the registration clinical trial in China and actively submitted the data in accordance with the registration and approval requirements of the NMPA.
LuX-Valve Plus has entered the clinical trial stage and is actively advancing its clinical trial progress in the U.S..
LuX-Valve Plus has completed all the subject enrollments for the clinical trial carried out in Europe with the aim of obtaining the CE Certificate. Clinical institutions from multiple countries around the world have actively participated in the clinical trial and LuX-Valve Plus won unanimous acclaim from those participating clinical institutions.
Pre-commercial activities are undergoing in order to meet the huge and urgent clinical demands worldwide
LuX-Valve Plus has completed a large number of pre-commercial activities worldwide. In order to meet the substantial and urgent demand from tricuspid regurgitation patients around the world, we will continue to advance the application of the product globally, in order to further enhance the product’s academic position and influence, and lay a solid foundation for the Company’s globalization strategy.
With regard to the LuX-Valve series products, we have trained more than 50 independent physicians and teaching experts in China, and expanded our footprint to over 220 hospitals with influence in both academia and the industry, covering more than 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions in China. In countries and regions other than China, we have provided training to more than 40 independent physicians and teaching experts, and have successfully completed implantation procedures or treatment promotions in nearly 100 influential hospitals, which has further enhanced our global influence.
As the date of the year end of 2024, over 600 cases of implantation of the LuX-Valve series products have been completed worldwide, with a record of the longest follow-up of over 6 years.

TAVR System has Entered Commercialization Phase
The registration application of Ken-Valve has recently been approved by the NMPA. The Company is actively preparing for its commercialization. We will continue to expand our sales and marketing team and our distribution network to cover more hospitals and scale up our regional penetration. Ken-Valve is a relatively rare TAVR product for the treatment of aortic regurgitation in the market. The Company will take the advantage of this market opportunity to gain market shares in the possible soonest time.
Ken-Valve features a multi-size design with advantage on allowing for a larger anchoring area, which is expected to accommodate a broad range of patients with aortic regurgitation (or combined with stenosis). Its integrated positioning anchor design ensures stable anchoring, and the design of sealing skirt is expected to reduce the incidence of paravalvular leakage post-procedure. The design of delivery system is expected to shorten the learning curve for physicians and reduce procedural time, which will contribute to the commercialization of the product.
Innovative product design and easy device operation have supported the promotion of our products and surgical trainings. For Ken-Valve, we have trained more than 30 independent physicians and teaching experts. In addition, surgical training and promotion have covered more than 100 MDT experts and nearly 100 hospitals.

The Registration of TMVr System has been Accelerated
JensClip has completed full enrollment in confirmatory clinical trials and one-year follow-up with outstanding clinical results. It is expected to submit an application for registration to NMPA as soon as possible in 2025.
JensClip features an innovative self-locking design, which is expected to effectively improve mitral regurgitation and reduce leaflet tension. The valve clip allows for flexible shape adjustments, which is expected to enhance procedural safety and improve intraoperative maneuverability. Furthermore, its one-piece release mechanism is designed to minimize potential misoperation risks associated with staged attachment, effectively reducing device operation time.
