In the frame of its First-In-Human Clinical study PILATUS (ClinicalTrials ID: NCT06119607), the company has successfully implanted in December 2023 its groundbreaking TRIFLO Heart Valve in a human patient for the first time, marking a momentous achievement in the field of valve replacement. This FIH was performed in the context of a prospective, single-arm, exploratory clinical investigation to assess preliminary safety and collect performance and effectiveness data of the TRIFLO Heart Valve. The surgery was performed by Prof. K. Ručinskas and its team at the Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos, Lithuania.

Novostia is in the process of increasing its Share Capital to CHF 203,000 with a new injection of funds of one million. This new investment is linked to the reaching of a strategic milestone: the confirmation of the safety and performance of the TRIFLO valve on animals.

The private and public (EC/H2020) funds raised since the foundation of the company in April 2017 now amount to about 7.5 million. Subsidies from the SPEI and the Biopôle are not included in these funds. Although modest, they have nevertheless enabled the recruitment of key employees, the launch of valve experiments and the participation in international conferences that have all contributed in a positive way to the progress of the TRIFLO project.

Two new fundraisings are open: the first one of 2 million for the one-year follow-up of the first 10 patients who will be implanted with our valve in less than 12 months; the second one of 10 million to launch the pilot study as soon as possible (50 patients, 3 valve sizes and 3/4 centres).

Dr Iman Borazjani's group (Texas A&M) presented the results of the fluid dynamic simulations at the 75th Annual Meeting of the Division of Fluid Dynamics, Indianapolis. The abstract entitled "Computational assessment of the hemodynamics and platelet activation potential of a Trileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve and their comparison with a Bioprosthetic and a Bileaflet Mechanical Heart Valve" brings proofs of the superiority of the TRIFLO valve over commercially available bi-leaflet mechanical valves.
