RenovoRx Announces Acceptance for Publication in the International Peer-Reviewed Journal, The Oncologist®
RenovoRx announces the acceptance of their manuscript, titled “Treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) Using Localized Trans-Arterial Micro Perfusion (TAMP™) of Gemcitabine: Combined Analysis of RR1 and RR2,” for publication in The Oncologist, a prestigious peer-reviewed journal. The manuscript, authored by Dr. Hassan Hatoum, will be in the Summer 2024 issue and presents clinical data on the survival of LAPC patients treated with RenovoRx's TAMP therapy platform. This data stems from early Phase I/II dose escalation safety study (RR1) and a post-marketing observational registry study (RR2). TAMP is also under evaluation in the ongoing pivotal Phase III TIGeR-PaC study, comparing its efficacy to the standard intravenous chemotherapy in LAPC treatment.
- RenovoRx’s manuscript on TAMP therapy for LAPC has been accepted for publication in The Oncologist, a prestigious peer-reviewed journal.
- Publication of the manuscript is expected in the Summer 2024 issue, increasing visibility and credibility for RenovoRx’s TAMP therapy.
- The manuscript presents clinical data indicating survival rates, enhancing the perceived efficacy of RenovoRx’s TAMP therapy platform.
- Ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC study compares TAMP with standard intravenous chemotherapy, potentially validating the novel therapy’s effectiveness.
- The manuscript’s publication does not include financial metrics or immediate business impacts.
- Data presented is from early-phase studies (RR1 and RR2), requiring further validation from ongoing trials.
Publication of data relating to RenovoRx’s targeted therapy platform to treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) is expected to be in the Summer 2024 issue of a prestigious journal
LOS ALTOS, Calif., July 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenovoRx, Inc. (“RenovoRx” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RNXT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel precision oncology therapies based on a local drug-delivery platform, today announced acceptance for publication in an international peer-reviewed journal, The Oncologist. The manuscript is titled, “Treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) Using Localized Trans-Arterial Micro Perfusion (TAMP™) of Gemcitabine: Combined Analysis of RR1 and RR2” and expected in the Summer 2024 issue of The Oncologist
The manuscript’s lead author is Hassan Hatoum, MD, an oncologist and hematologist at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC). The manuscript is a publication of clinical data, primarily survival, in LAPC patients undergoing TAMP treatment from the foundational studies conducted by the Company. RenovoRx investigated the drug-delivery of gemcitabine utilizing TAMP therapy platform in an early Phase I/II dose escalation safety study (RR1) and acquired data from a post-marketing post-treatment observational registry study (RR2) to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the drug-device combination in LAPC.
Ramtin Agah, Chief Medical Officer and Founder of RenovoRx states, “These important studies investigate clinical outcomes along with procedural variables that may impact those clinical outcomes.”
TAMP is being further evaluated in the ongoing pivotal Phase III randomized multi-center study, called TIGeR-PaC, evaluating its targeted (intra-arterial) approach to drug-delivery in LAPC. The study is comparing treatment with TAMP to the current standard of care of systemic intravenous chemotherapy.

About the Phase III TIGeR-PaC Clinical Trial
TIGeR-PaC is an ongoing Phase III randomized multi-center study evaluating the proprietary TAMP™ (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) therapy platform for the treatment of Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC.) RenovoRx’s first product candidate, RenovoGem™, is a novel oncology drug-delivery combination utilizing TAMP administration technology combined with the FDA-approved chemotherapy, gemcitabine. The study is comparing treatment with TAMP to the current standard of care of systemic intravenous chemotherapy.
The first interim analysis in the Phase III clinical trial was completed in March 2023, with the Data Monitoring Committee recommending a continuation of the study. The TIGeR-PaC study is investigating TAMP in LAPC. The study's primary endpoint is a 6-month Overall Survival benefit with secondary endpoints including reduced side effects versus standard of care. The second interim analysis for this study will be triggered by the 52nd event, which is estimated to occur in late 2024.
