Three-Year VenoValve(R) First-in-Human Trial Data Published in the Annals of Vascular Surgery
IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2025 / enVVeno Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:NVNO) ("enVVeno" or the "Company"), a company setting new standards of care for the treatment of deep venous disease, today announced that its manuscript titled, "Three-Year Outcomes of Surgical Implantation of a Novel Bioprosthetic Valve for the Treatment of Deep Venous Reflux1," has been published in the in the peer-reviewed journal, Annals of Vascular Surgery.
The VenoValve was surgically implanted in the femoral vein of eleven subjects with active or healed venous ulcers (CEAP classifications C5-C6). Eight subjects completed three years of follow-up, with key findings including:
The VenoValve remained safe and effective, achieving target patency and maintaining competence and clinical benefits
The VenoValve is a potential first-in-class, surgical replacement venous valve for patients with severe deep venous CVI. 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 has submitted a pre-market authorization (PMA) application for the VenoValve to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with a decision anticipated in the second half of 2025.
About 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.
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 deep 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.

Is Beaten-Down Summit Therapeutics Stock a Bad-News Buy?
Summit Therapeutics stock fell hard recently in response to disappointing clinical trial results. Ivonescimab failed to produced a statistically significant overall survival benefit in the phase 3 Harmoni trial. Ivonescimab has been approved by Chinese regulators, but Summit Therapeutics has a license to sell it outside of China. 10 stocks we like better than Summit Therapeutics › Shares of Summit Therapeutics (NASDAQ: SMMT) tanked more than 30% on Friday, May 30. Such dramatic price swings aren't unusual in the biotechnology industry; in this case, disappointing data from an important clinical trial drove the stock down. Stock markets have a tendency to sell first and ask questions later. After watching this stock plummet, some bargain-shoppers are wondering if it fell too far. Recent trial results missed the mark the company was hoping for, but the results weren't entirely discouraging. Let's weigh the bad news against the good to see if this stock could be a beaten-down bargain. Summit Therapeutics and its investors have been eagerly anticipating results from the phase 3 Harmoni trial of ivonescimab. It's a bispecific antibody that works like a compination of Keytruda (a PD-1 inhibitor) plus Avastin (a VEGF inhibitor). Summit's stock price rocketed higher in 2024 thanks to Harmoni-2 trial results that showed it outperformed Keytruda at limiting tumor growth in lung cancer patients. Although ivonescimab is already approved in China, it's not for sale in the U.S. and EU, where Summit Therapeutics has a license to sell it. The Harmoni trial enrolled second-line lung cancer patients and treated them with ivonescimab or a placebo plus standard chemo. The treatment reduced the risk of disease progression in terms of tumor growth by 48%, but failed to show a convincing overall survival benefit. Adding ivonescimab to standard chemo reduced patients' risk of death by 21%, but the results fell just outside a 95% confidence interval with a p-value of 0.057. It's highly unlikely the Food and Drug Administration will approve ivonescimab for sale in the U.S. based on the Harmoni trial results. According to Summit, the FDA has been clear about the need for a statistically significant overall survival benefit to support an application. The China-based company that owns ivonescimab, Akeso, recently earned a second approval to market the therapy to lung cancer patients in China. Keytruda sales rose to $29.5 billion last year, and a treatment that can outperform the leader could do even better. Ivonescimab is unlikely to earn approval in the U.S. for patients similar to those enrolled in the Harmoni trial. Given its ability to shrink tumors, though, it's probably just a matter of time before it produces statistically significant overall survival results for an underserved patient population. Tumor responses get attention, but oncologists are far more interested in giving patients a chance for long-term survival. Keytruda's a top seller now because it produced dramatic overall survival results, compared to the standard treatments of its time. The lack of convincing overall survival data so far for ivonescimab severely reduces the odds that it will go on to produce blockbuster sales in the places where Summit Therapeutics has a license to sell it. Despite the obvious challenges ahead, expectations are still sky-high. Drugmaker stocks tend to trade at mid-single-digit multiples of trailing annual sales. Summit has no sales, as ivonescimab is the only candidate in its pipeline. Despite the lack of options and an uncertain path forward, the stock finished May with a market cap above $13.5 billion. If ivonescimab goes on to produce sales anywhere near Keytruda's, investors who bought Summit Therapeutics at recent prices could reap enormous gains. Unfortunately, the Harmoni trial's failure to produce a convincing overall survival benefit suggests that future sales will be muted, even if the company can get it past the FDA. It's probably best to watch this story play out from a safe distance.

FTSE pharma giant joins London stock market exodus
A £1.1bn drug company is to quit the London Stock Exchange (LSE) as the troubled market battles an exodus of businesses. Indivior, which makes opioid addiction treatments, has announced plans to delist in London and focus solely on New York. The company said the move reflected the fact that most of its investors and business were in the US, adding that the depth of the market on Wall Street 'far outweighs' London. It is a fresh blow for the London Stock Exchange, which has been battling to stop an exodus of businesses either to the US or into private hands. The market has also struggled to attract new listings to replace those that have left, leaving it shrinking. In total, 88 companies left the London Stock Exchange last year in the biggest flight from the UK's main market since the financial crash. More broadly, the number of companies listed on the London Stock Exchange has fallen by 40pc since 2008. Indivior was spun out of Reckitt Benckiser, the British consumer goods giant known for Dettol and Durex, in 2014. A member of the FTSE 250, Indivior is best known for its drug Suboxone, which is used to treat addiction to opioids such as heroin. The company said 80pc of its sales now come from America, reflecting both the size of the market and the legacy of the opioid crisis that has ravaged the US. The drug company has been listed on the London stock market since its demerger but acquired a secondary listing on New York's Nasdaq exchange in 2023. New York became its primary listing a year ago. David Wheadon, Indivior's chairman, said: 'A single primary listing on Nasdaq best reflects the profile of Indivior's business.' Over 70pc of its shareholders are now based in the US and 75pc of trades in its shares are carried out on the Nasdaq exchange, the company said. It added: '[The delisting] recognises that liquidity on Nasdaq now far outweighs liquidity on the LSE.' The company said the exit would help it cut costs by ending the complexity of maintaining two listings. The shift follows an overhaul of Invidior's top management in February following pressure from activist investor Oaktree Capital Management. Oaktree accused the company's management of 'doubling down on a failing strategy, ignoring competitive threats and allowing costs to spiral'. Dozens of businesses have moved their listings from London to New York in recent years, including gambling giant Flutter and construction equipment business Ashtead. Travel giant Tui separately quit the London markets to pursue a sole listing in Germany.

Drug maker Indivior joins the flight from London share listings
Drug maker Indivior has become the latest major UK listed company to scrap its London share trading. The pharmaceuticals company, which has its UK headquarters in Slough, said it planned to cancel its secondary listing in London. Indivior only moved its primary listing to Nasdaq last June and now wants to sever all share trading links with the City. The move comes just a year after Invidior's board said it planned to keep the London listing "for as long as it is considered to be in the best interests of Indivior and its shareholders as a whole." Reasons given for scrapping the London listing following a review include the fact that 80% of the company's revenue is generated in America; trading on Nasdaq accounts for approximately 75% of total volumes across both exchanges; more than 70% of the share are now held by investors located in the U.S; and the elimination of 'the cost and complexity of maintaining a secondary listing.' Another major factor is that the company's biggest selling drug Sublocade, a treatment for helping opioid addicts reduce their dependence, has its biggest market in the US. Last year Sublocade accounted for $756 million of the company's total $1.2 billion sales. Indivior was spun out of its former parent company, the consumer products giant Reckitt Benckizer in 2014 as a free standing London listed company. The Virginia based company's chair David Wheadon, said:"We are pleased to announce this key milestone for Indivior following our evaluation period. A single primary listing on Nasdaq best reflects the profile of Indivior's business. 'We appreciate the support received from shareholders for this initiative and look forward to capitalizing on the expected benefits of this move, including reductions in cost and complexity." London has suffered a major outflow of listed companies over recent years in a blow to the prestige of the City. A total of 88 firms delisted or transferred their primary listing from the London Stock Exchange last year, the highest number since the financial crisis of 2008, according to auditor EY. Only 18 companies came on to the London market last year as the vital flow of small and growing businesses raising capital by listing their shares on the London stock market dried up.
