| We were able to maintain strong growth for this product, achieving 43% growth versus last year |
| But obviously, we are most proud of fruquintinib approval in the U.S., our first approval outside China, a big step towards our vision of bringing our innovative medicines to global patients |

| We managed a great robust growth in China commercial |

| So the POC result is highly favorable compared with other IL plus VEGF therapy in RCC |
| And we also achieved a positive Phase II |
| the approval came ahead of our original expectation because it was granted priority review and approved only even less than 6 months, but Takeda really prepared well and we work together very well as well |
| We are particularly encouraged by our Phase I/II trial, demonstrated a robust overall response rate of 80% overall response and the durable response rate of 40% in relapsed/refractory ITP patients |
| So it represents a very rare disease with an even stronger unmet medical need |
| So we work together extremely well and we also prepared the launch extremely well as well |

| Increased mortality rate in RCC in China also outpaced the other developed nation and the second-line treatment options remain very limited |
