Arizona Tribune - enVVeno Medical Successfully Completes Final Wave of Implants in Pre-Clinical GLP Study for enVVe

enVVeno Medical Corporation (Nasdaq:NVNO) ("enVVeno" or the "Company"), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of venous disease, today announced the successful completion of the final wave of implants for shorter-term subjects in its six-month pre-clinical GLP study for enVVe, its transcatheter-delivered replacement venous valve.

The successful completion of all planned implants in the GLP study, including both long-term and short-term subjects, completes a critical phase of the study. The follow-up period, which began with the first wave of implants, is ongoing as scheduled. Pending successful completion of the GLP study, the Company anticipates submitting its IDE application to the FDA in mid-2025. The submission, if approved, would allow the Company to initiate the pivotal clinical trial for enVVe.

"With the successful completion of all planned implants in the enVVe GLP study, we have achieved the last of our milestones for 2024," said Robert Berman, enVVeno Medical's Chief Executive Officer. "Our enhanced enVVe crimping and delivery system has performed very well throughout the study and is ready for the pivotal trial. We will continue to monitor the performance of the enVVe valves throughout the remainder of the study and with successful data and pathology, should be in a position to file the IDE on schedule in mid 2025. We remain focused on our goal of becoming the established leader in both the surgical and non-surgical replacement venous valve markets for patients with severe deep venous CVI."

Severe, deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) is a debilitating disease that is most often caused by blood clots (deep vein thromboses or DVTs) in the deep veins of the leg. When valves inside of the veins of the leg fail, blood flows in the wrong direction and pools in the lower leg, causing pressure within the veins of the leg to increase (venous hypertension). Symptoms of severe CVI include leg swelling, pain, edema, and in the most severe cases, recurrent open sores known as venous ulcers. The disease can severely impact everyday functions such as sleeping, bathing, dressing, and walking, and is known to result in high rates of depression and anxiety. There are currently no effective treatments for severe CVI of the deep vein system caused by valvular incompetence. Estimates indicate that CVI costs the U.S. healthcare system in excess of $4 billion each year.

The Company's lead product is the VenoValve,® a potential first-in-class, surgical replacement venous valve for patients with severe deep venous CVI. In November, the Company submitted a PMA application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration seeking approval to market and sell the VenoValve in the U.S. The Company estimates that there are approximately 2.5 million potential new patients each year in the U.S. that could be candidates for the VenoValve. The Company is also developing enVVe®, a next-generation, transcatheter based replacement venous valve, that could appeal to an even larger market in terms of both patients and physicians.

Beginning early next year, the Company will begin to implement its strategy to transition from a development stage to a commercial entity for the VenoValve, while completing the necessary non-clinical and GLP testing for enVVe in preparation for its IDE application.

About enVVeno Medical Corporation

enVVeno Medical (NASDAQ:NVNO) is an Irvine, California-based, late clinical-stage medical device Company focused on the advancement of innovative bioprosthetic (tissue-based) solutions to improve the standard of care for the treatment of venous disease. The Company's lead product, the VenoValve®, is a first-in-class surgical replacement venous valve being developed for the treatment of deep venous Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). The Company is also developing a non-surgical, transcatheter based replacement venous valve for the treatment of deep venous CVI called enVVe®. CVI occurs when valves inside of the veins of the leg become damaged, resulting in the backwards flow of blood (reflux), blood pooling in the lower leg, increased pressure in the veins of the leg (venous hypertension) and in severe cases, venous ulcers that are difficult to heal and become chronic. Both the VenoValve and enVVe are designed to act as one-way valves, to help assist in propelling blood up the leg, and back to the heart and lungs. The VenoValve is currently being evaluated in the SAVVE U.S. pivotal study and the Company is currently performing the final testing necessary to seek approval for the pivotal trial for enVVe.
