Actively promote the progress of the core research pipeline: As of 2023Q3, the company has obtained the results of a head-to-head phase III clinical study on anomitib tablets (converted treatment of HIV-1 infected people with viral suppression) and the imported original drug integrase inhibitor Iconpropib. Clinical research data show that for HIV-1 infected people who have obtained viral suppression through treatment, anomitite tablets can maintain viral suppression for a long time and are quite effective. They are comparable in terms of liver and kidney safety, and have advantages in cardiovascular metabolic safety indicators such as blood lipids, body weight, and uric acid. The company is preparing to submit a marketing license application for the new indication to the Drug Evaluation Center of the State Drug Administration. The company will continue to promote coverage and dosage of enovirin-containing programs (enovirin tablets, enomitib tablets) on the basis of continuously accumulating high-level evidence-based medical evidence in China.

The company's new management team has been adjusted; at the same time, through the launch of a new stock incentive plan, the company fully incentivizes outstanding core employees, including marketing, to complete various key tasks and grow with the company. In the next phase, the primary goal is to achieve sustainable profit and performance growth, continuously improve the governance structure, standardize operations, and fulfill social responsibilities.
