Comparing to having only\u00a0one phase III clinical trial at the time of our Listing, to date, we&#13;<br \/>\nhave further initiated five\u00a0phase III clinical trails for our relevant drug candidates, and have six&#13;<br \/>\nongoing phase III clinical\u00a0trials in aggregate.

It is one of the first batch\u00a0of pharmaceuticals that have been included drugs in RWS pilot programs.
