Clinical Program Highlights

VenoValve®: Surgical replacement venous valve

  • Approximately 2.5 million people in the U.S. have the type of CVI for which the VenoValve is being evaluated.
  • Ongoing SAVVE (Surgical Anti-reflux Venous Valve Endoprosthesis) U.S. pivotal trial.
  • SAVVE trial enrollment is expected to be completed at the end of the first quarter of 2023, with primary safety and efficacy data expected in the second half of 2023.

  • Estimated U.S. market for enVVe is approximately 3.5 million patients.
  • The Company plans to conduct a first-in-human trial, which will be known as the Transcatheter Anti-reflux, Venous Valve Endoprosthesis (TAVVE) FIH study.
  • The initial phase of the TAVVE FIH study will seek to enroll 3 to 5 patients across multiple sites in Colombia.

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 waiting for regulatory approval to begin the TAVVE first-in-human trial for enVVe.
