(1) The reasons and impact of the previous conditional listing failure of Neostat, and whether there is a risk of R&D failure

According to the "Directed Issuance Prospectus", relevant R&D progress announcements disclosed by the company, reports on the use of raised funds, and review of the company's clinical trial application and implementation content on the Food and Drug Administration's website, communication records between the company and the Food and Drug Administration, company explanations, and interviews with the company's senior managers, the reasons and impact of the company's previous conditional listing failure of Nucardi, and whether there is a risk of R&D failure are as follows:

  1. The situation of the previous conditional marketing trial of Neocatetin

In 2020, the State Food and Drug Administration, in its review opinions on the conditional marketing of Neocatetin, suggested that Zensun Technology could supplement the surrogate indicator clinical trial with a smaller sample (i.e., the subsequent 308/308B trial) to support the conditional marketing, and continue to conduct a mortality confirmatory Phase III trial (306 trial) after the conditional marketing to support the formal approval of the drug.

The results of the 308 trial completed by the company in June 2022 showed that the main efficacy indicator of the trial (the change in the left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) from the baseline 30 days after the trial subjects took the medication) was by

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

Due to the high dispersion of the data, the difference between the neocaten group and the placebo group did not reach statistical significance (P>0.05), that is, the trial did not reach the preset statistical goal. However, it shows that neocaten has a good efficacy trend in LVESVI indicators. At the same time, the test results suggest that the alternative indicators set in the test can be optimized to a certain extent. At the end of 2022, the company and the National Center for Drug Evaluation confirmed through a communication meeting that the test indicators can be revised and another test (308B test) can be conducted to support the conditional listing of the drug.

In November 2024, the 308B trial was completed. The results showed that based on the standard treatment, the drug group was still better than the control group for the primary endpoint of the trial (the response rate of simultaneous reduction of LVESVI and LVEDVI by more than or equal to 20 ml/m2 at 35 days). However, due to the small sample size, the difference between the two groups failed to reach statistical significance (P<0.05), that is, the test results failed to meet the agreed test success criteria. Therefore, although the 308B trial once again showed a positive drug effect trend consistent with the previous trials of cardiac function surrogate indicators, and reached statistical significance for the important secondary endpoint indicator that the regulatory authorities clearly required to observe in the trial design - quality of life score; post hoc analysis showed that combining the 308 and 308B trial data, the primary endpoint indicator set by the 308B trial could reach statistical significance. However, this is not consistent with the conditions for supporting the conditional listing of the drug (the trial must be successful, that is, the primary endpoint set by the trial must reach statistical significance) agreed by the company and regulatory authorities through communication meetings and protocol discussion meetings in advance. Therefore, the latest feedback from the Center for Drug Evaluation in April 2025 believes that the positive efficacy data of 308B can be used as auxiliary supporting evidence for the drug’s marketing, but the primary endpoint has not reached statistical significance and cannot be used as key evidence for conditional marketing. That is, the existing data does not support the conditional marketing of Neocardia products. Therefore, the company did not apply for conditional listing after receiving feedback from regulatory authorities.

In the future, the company will continue to promote the mortality confirmatory clinical phase III trial (ZS-01-306 trial) of its core product under development, Neocardin (indications for chronic systolic heart failure), to support the regular marketing approval of the drug.

  1. The impact of the previous conditional marketing trial of Neocaten not meeting expectations

After the completion of the 308B trial, the drug regulatory authorities issued feedback in April 2025, reconfirming that the primary endpoint of the key study that ultimately supports the marketing of this product should be indicators related to mortality/exacerbation of heart failure. Therefore, the company's subsequent research and development focus will focus on continuing to conduct the survival benefit clinical phase III confirmatory trial ZS-01-306, which was originally planned to support the routine approval of neocaten drugs.

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

  1. Is there a risk of R&D failure?

According to the scientific rules and numerous cases of innovative heart failure drug research and development, many innovative heart failure drugs, including Dapagliflozin, Empagliflozin, and vericiguat, have experienced surrogate indicator trials (similar to Zensun Technology’s 308/308B trial) during their development process that were not statistically significant. However, as long as the mortality reduction results are obtained in the subsequent clinical phase III trials that determine the final success, they can also be approved for marketing. According to common cases of innovative drug research and development for heart failure and the company's communication with regulatory agencies, whether the clinical research data for the approval of the marketing application of Neocardin (indications for chronic systolic heart failure) will mainly depend on the results of the ZS-01-306 trial. Even though previous clinical trials have shown that Neocardine has the potential to improve cardiac function and reduce mortality in the treatment of heart failure, due to the inherent scientific risks of new drug development that are difficult to predict, it is difficult to ensure that ZS-01-306 will achieve the expected clinical results. There are uncertainties in the clinical phase III trial progress, trial results, and approval for marketing of core products.

At the same time, the drug registration certificate requires a comprehensive review of the safety, effectiveness and quality controllability of the drug by the Drug Evaluation Center of the State Drug Administration, so the review process takes a long time. During the drug marketing review process, if: (1) the national drug regulatory department does not recognize the safety, effectiveness, or standardization of the clinical trial data of the drug; (2) the registration verification of drug development compliance, packaging material and container quality, drug production quality, etc. fails; (3) ) Failure to pass drug registration inspection; (4) Changes in approval policy requirements; (5) Drug approval speed is slower than expected, etc. These situations may cause the company's Neocardin® and other research and development drugs to be unable to be approved for marketing or be unable to be approved for marketing as expected, causing the company's business to be adversely affected.

To sum up, the results of the previous conditional listing did not reach the preset statistical target, but showed that there is a positive drug effect trend of neocaten. The company's subsequent research and development focus will focus on continuing to carry out the survival benefit clinical phase III confirmatory trial ZS-01-306, which was originally planned to support the routine approval of neocaten. The inherent scientific risks in new drug research and development are difficult to predict, and there are uncertainties in the progress, trial results, and approval for marketing of core products in clinical phase III trials.

(2) Arrangements for follow-up clinical trials and launch plans, estimated time for commercialization and revenue generation

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

According to the "Directed Issuance Prospectus", the relevant R&D progress announcements disclosed by the company, and the content of the company's clinical trial application and implementation on the Food and Drug Administration website, the company's communication records with the Food and Drug Administration, the company's explanation, and interviews with the company's senior managers, the company's follow-up clinical trial and listing plan arrangements, estimated commercialization and revenue generation time are as follows:

  1. Arrangements for subsequent clinical trials

The company will continue to promote the mortality confirmatory clinical phase III trial (ZS-01-306 trial) of its core product under development, Neocardin (indications for chronic systolic heart failure), to support the regular marketing approval of the drug. The number of subjects in the 306 trial is planned to be 1,600. Based on the clinical protocol and progress, an interim analysis is expected to be conducted at approximately 800 patients. So far, 243 cases have been enrolled in the 306 trial, and 557 cases are still needed. It is expected to complete enrollment in mid-2027, followed by observation for one year, and an interim analysis will be conducted in mid-2028. If the analysis meets statistical requirements, the project can be completed in advance. At the same time, while making every effort to ensure the smooth conduct of the 306 trial, the company will consider appropriately advancing other more important new drug pipeline projects under development, including maintaining and appropriately advancing the Neocardin diastolic heart failure indication project and the Neocardin acute myocardial infarction indication project.

  1. Subsequent listing plan arrangements, estimated commercialization and revenue generation time

The company plans to communicate with the regulatory authorities and submit a drug marketing application after completing the ZS-01-306 survival benefit confirmatory clinical phase III trial or reaching the superiority target in the interim analysis of the trial, combining the pharmaceutical, pharmacological and toxicological and other research data required for routine drug marketing applications and relevant materials for marketing review applications. At the same time, the company will improve its sales capabilities through equity cooperation or building its own sales team. After the State Food and Drug Administration approves the marketing of Neocaten, the company will receive drug sales income or related equity income.

The company expects to submit a new drug marketing application to the State Food and Drug Administration after the interim analysis of the clinical trial reaches the superiority index or the phase III clinical trial obtains significantly positive test results. The time from submission of application to drug approval for marketing will be approximately 12 months. If the 306 trial interim analysis reaches the superiority index in mid-2028, it is expected that the drug will be launched on the market and generate revenue in mid-2029. If the interim analysis results of the 306 trial in mid-2028 indicate that the trial cannot be completed ahead of schedule and all trials need to be completed as originally planned, or the trial needs to be completed after adjusting the sample size, the new drug will be estimated to continue to complete the entire trial based on the specific results of the interim analysis.

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

The time required for each 306 clinical trial, and the corresponding time required to realize the sales revenue of the drug.

At the same time, based on the conventional models and general rules of innovative drug R&D and commercialization, before innovative drugs are registered and approved for marketing, products can also obtain main business income through patent licensing, cooperative development, regional sales equity cooperation and other modes to obtain main business income through patent licensing, cooperative development, regional sales equity cooperation and other methods, milestone payments and sales sharing, etc., to achieve commercialization. For the international and domestic markets, the company may conduct commercial development and obtain commercialization benefits through establishing cooperative development relationships with large pharmaceutical companies, licensing patented technologies, and regional sales rights cooperation.

In summary, the company plans to communicate with regulatory authorities and submit a drug marketing application after completing the ZS-01-306 survival benefit confirmatory clinical phase III trial or the interim analysis of the trial reaches the superiority target. After the marketing application is approved, the company's core products are expected to achieve sales revenue or other equity income, thereby achieving commercialization.

(3) Newcard’s technological advancement and competitive advantages

According to the "Directed Issuance Prospectus" and the company's description as well as interviews with the company's senior managers, the technological advancement and competitive advantages of Newcard are as follows:

  1. The technological advancement of Neocatetin

Internationally, new drugs can be divided into two categories: first-in-class drugs (First-in-Class) and follow-on drugs (Follow-on or Me-too). First-in-Class refers to drugs based on a completely new mechanism (usually marked by a new target) for a certain disease. Follow-on or Me-too refers to the development of new compounds on discovered targets, usually by modifying and improving the structure of the original compounds. The research and development of first-in-class innovative drugs is obviously characterized by high risks, high investment, long cycle, and high technical barriers. However, it has great medical, economic and social value. Once it is successfully launched, it will have the top "Matthew Effect" and bring huge returns in the market. It is essentially different from follow-up drugs, so it always occupies an important position in the international pharmaceutical industry.

The discovery and production of innovative drugs comes from an in-depth understanding of the mechanisms of life and disease occurrence and development. This is the most essential feature of Zensun Technology's new drug research and development work, and directly determines the advancement of the company's scientific research technology. The anti-heart failure drug Neocardin® developed by the company is the world's first drug under development that directly acts on myocardial cells and treats heart failure by improving the structure and function of myocardial cells. This is Zensheng Technology’s long-term research on myocardial development, physiology and

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

The results of the pathological study reflect Zensun Technology’s profound understanding of the impact of myocardial cell signaling molecules on disease.

  1. Newcastle’s competitive advantages

Pharmacoeconomics research generally believes that direct competition between drugs exists between drugs with the same or similar mechanism of action (in-class). In clinical applications, if drugs have different mechanisms of action, they can be used in combination in order to achieve better therapeutic effects for patients. There is no substitution relationship between the drugs, and therefore they do not constitute direct competition. For example, the heart failure drug enalapril has a substitutable medical value with drugs that have the same mechanism of action (the same ACEi class such as captopril and ramipril) or similar (such as valsartan, losartan and other ARB classes; valsartan-sacubitril (Roxinto) and other ARNi classes), and therefore have a direct competitive relationship; while drugs such as β-receptor antagonists, diuretics, and cardiac glycosides, which are also heart failure drugs but have different mechanisms of action, have ACEi Drugs of this type do not have medical value, so they do not compete directly and can be used in combination.

The company's core product, Neocardine, has a new target and mechanism of action, has global patent protection, has no direct competitive relationship with drugs of different mechanisms, and has differentiated competitive advantages.

Neocardine has a different therapeutic mechanism from the heart failure treatment drugs currently approved for marketing, and there is no direct competition. However, because the five-year mortality rate of patients under current standard treatment conditions is still as high as 50%, which is far from meeting clinical medical needs, the market is in urgent need of drugs with innovative mechanisms.

Neocardin is competitive with drugs currently under development in the field of heart failure at home and abroad. The specific comparison is as follows: (1) Neocardin is one of the projects with rapid progress among new drugs under development in the field of heart failure in China.

The company's core product under development is Neocardine, which is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials in China for heart failure indications with preserved ejection fraction and is preparing for Phase III clinical trials in the United States. It is one of the few innovative drug projects currently in the late clinical stage (Phase III and application for marketing) of new drugs under development in the field of heart failure at home and abroad.

(2) Neocardine is the fastest-growing drug under development among similar drugs targeting ErbB4.

According to the company's Insight database query results, there are currently only two drugs in the world that have the same mechanism of action as Neucadine, namely Cimaglermin from Assolda Biopharmaceutical Company and JK-07 from Xinlitai, which are in clinical phase I and phase II respectively.

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

Cimaglermin uses the full-length protein of NRG1-β3. The results of a phase I trial conducted in 2010 showed that Cimaglermin may have a risk of liver toxicity. Studies related to Cimaglermin are currently on hold.

JK-07 is an NRG-1 fusion antibody drug that received clinical approval in the United States in February 2020 and CDE clinical approval in April 2022. Phase II clinical trials will begin in China and the United States in the first half of 2024.

(3) Retrospective analysis of existing clinical data of Neocardine shows good effectiveness

In the ZS-01-305 clinical trial, the neocadine group had a relative reduction of 17.4% in the risk of all-cause death compared with the placebo group, which was similar to the reduction in the risk of all-cause death in the confirmatory phase III trials of Nosinto and dapagliflozin. However, the sample size of the issuer's Phase III mortality trial was much smaller than that of the large international mortality trial of the above-mentioned drugs, and the trial results failed to reach statistical significance. Post hoc subgroup analysis of the 305 trial showed that neocardiin was effective in targeted subgroups (NYHAII/III, men with NT-proBNP ≤1700 pg/ml, women with NT-rpoBNP≤4000 pg/ml) significantly reduced the risk of death by 63.9% (p=0.038), which was consistent with the first two mortality trials ZS-01-209 and ZS-01-301. Three clinical trials (209/301/305) combined analysis of this group of heart failure patients, and the risk of death was reduced by 73.7%, reaching a statistically significant level (p=0.0006).

A comparison of the issuer’s clinical trials and international heart failure drug phase III mortality trials in recent years is shown in the table below:

To sum up, the company's core product Neocardine is an investigational drug that directly acts on myocardial cells and treats heart failure by improving the structure and function of myocardial cells. It has technological advancement and competitive advantages.

(4) Market space after listing

According to the "Directed Issuance Prospectus", the company's description and interviews with the company's senior managers, the market space of the company's product after its launch is as follows:

Chronic systolic heart failure accounts for about half of all heart failure patients. It is conservatively estimated that patients with NYHA II-III systolic heart failure account for about 60% of all systolic heart failure patients. From the baseline NT-proBNP results of patients with chronic systolic heart failure summarized in public databases, it is conservatively estimated that the target patients of Newcardia (NYHA II-III, with NT-proBNP ≤ 1700pg/ml for male subjects and NT-proBNP ≤ 4000pg/ml for female subjects) account for approximately 60% of patients with NYHA II-III chronic systolic heart failure and 36% of the overall systolic heart failure patients. According to the continued growth trend of heart failure patients, the number of potential patients in the Chinese market of Neocardin (indications for chronic systolic heart failure) is expected to grow to 2.9 million by 2030; the number of potential patients in the global market is expected to

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

to grow to 6.97 million by 2030.

The estimated number of target patients in China from 2026 to 2030 is as follows:

Year 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030

heart failure in china

Number of patients (10,000 1410.1 1463.3 1516.4 1568.9 1621.3

people)

Number of target patients = Chinese heart failure patients × 50% (proportion of systolic heart failure) × 60% (proportion of total grade II and III target patients) × 60% (male subjects NT-proBNP ≤ 1700pg/ml, female subjects measured NT-proBNP ≤ 4000pg/ml, accounting for the proportion of NYHA II-III chronic systolic heart failure patients

Example)

Target number of patients

253.8 263.4 273.0 282.4 291.8

(ten thousand people)

Currently, all types of drugs recommended by guidelines in the field of heart failure are included in the medical insurance catalog. As a major life-threatening disease, the probability of heart failure treatment drugs being included in the medical insurance is relatively high. After entering the medical insurance, drug pricing is usually at a certain discount compared to before entering the medical insurance. However, first-in-class innovative drugs have higher bargaining power than generic drugs, and can formulate price strategies to maximize profits to cope with price negotiations after entering medical insurance.

In summary, there are a large number of patients with heart failure and the market space is vast.

(5) Whether the company has the ability to continue operating

According to the "Directed Issuance Prospectus", the company's description and interviews with the company's senior managers, there are no major uncertainties in the company's ability to continue operating, as follows:

  1. Technological advancement

For details, please refer to "1. Technological advancement and competitive advantages of Neocaten" in "(3) Neocaten's technological advancement" in this question.

  1. Competitive advantage

For details, please refer to "2. The Competitive Advantages of Neocaten" in "(3) Technological Advancement and Competitive Advantages of Neocaten" in this question.

  1. Recognition of major national science and technology projects and regulatory agencies

Supplementary Legal Opinion (1)

The company's core product, Neocatetin, has not yet been approved for marketing and has not yet entered the market. The products under development have been recognized by major national science and technology projects and regulatory agencies. The company has successively undertaken 6 major national new drug creation projects and 2 major 863 projects, all of which are used to support clinical research related to Neocardin. Neocardin has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA and approved for multi-center Phase III clinical studies in the United States. The company received professional feedback from the Drug Evaluation Center of the State Food and Drug Administration in April 2025. Since the primary endpoint of 308B did not reach statistical significance, the combined analysis of 308B and 308A can provide supporting evidence, but cannot be used as confirmatory evidence. Therefore, the existing data does not support the conditional listing of this product. The company will continue to promote the survival rate benefit confirmatory clinical phase III trial (ZS-01-306 trial) to support the routine and complete approval of the drug. This trial is currently ongoing. Currently, 243 subjects have been enrolled in the trial, and an interim analysis has been designed. If the statistical target of superiority is achieved, the trial will be completed ahead of schedule.

  1. Core patent situation

After years of continuous research and development, the company has formed a solid technological accumulation and implemented strict global intellectual property protection and patent layout for its innovative achievements. As of June 30, 2025, the company has 107 authorized patents, including 93 internationally authorized invention patents, and the company is applying for 60 invention patents. Patents cover new drug indications, administration methods, dosages, preparation formulas, etc., providing sufficient and long-life patent protection for the company's products.
