RenovoRx Files New International Patent for Novel Targeted Combination Drug-Delivery Oncology Therapy Platform

RenovoRx Holds a Strong Intellectual Property (IP) Portfolio with 9 Issued Patents for its Proprietary Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (TAMP™) Therapy Platform and Delivery System

New Patent Would Expand IP Coverage for TAMP to Deliver Additional Therapeutic Classes Across DNA/RNA Altering Modalities, Cell Therapy, and Antibody-Based Therapies

RenovoRx, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNXT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel precision oncology therapies based on a local drug-delivery platform, announced today that the Company has filed an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for its novel Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (TAMP) therapy platform. The Company already holds a strong intellectual property portfolio with 9 issued patents and 9 pending patents for its proprietary TAMP platform and delivery system in the US, EU, and Asia. The patent portfolio covers two main areas, mechanical and biological.

The new international patent application is filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty on methods and apparatuses that may be used to deliver one or more therapeutic agents through the vaso vasorum (small blood vessels that supply the walls of larger arteries or veins) to a target tissue. RenovoRx believes that these methods and apparatuses via the TAMP therapy platform may provide a novel and important pathway for the targeted delivery of therapeutic classes across DNA/RNA-altering modalities, cell therapy, oncolytic viruses, bi-specific antibodies, and monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of a variety of clinical indications. The Company anticipates that the patent application will be published in May of 2024.

"This patent application further expands the value of TAMP into the delivery of larger therapeutic assets, as a unique platform in oncology, beyond our current Phase III clinical asset," said Shaun Bagai, CEO, RenovoRx. "Once approved, it will further extend our IP coverage, opening up new market potential, expanding the upside value proposition of TAMP commercially. We look forward to providing further highlights and updates related to this patent, as well as our progress in our Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical program."

TAMP is being investigated in the Company’s Phase III TIGeR-PaC clinical trial, an ongoing randomized multi-center study. The study is evaluating trans-arterial delivery of an FDA-approved chemotherapy, gemcitabine, to treat Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer (LAPC) following stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The study is comparing treatment of gemcitabine with TAMP versus systemic IV administration of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel.

The first of two interim analyses was completed in March 2023, and the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended a continuation of the study. The study is prespecified to provide a primary endpoint of a 6-month Overall Survival benefit and secondary endpoints including reduced side effects versus standard of care.

About RenovoRx, Inc.

RenovoRx is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing proprietary targeted combination therapies for high unmet medical need with a goal to improve therapeutic outcomes for cancer patients undergoing treatment. The Company’s proprietary Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (TAMP™) therapy platform is designed to ensure precise therapeutic delivery to directly target the tumor while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic (intravenous (IV) therapy). RenovoRx’s unique approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. Our Phase III lead product candidate, RenovoGem™, a novel oncology drug-device combination product, is being investigated under a US IND that is regulated by FDA 21 CFR 312 pathway. RenovoGem is currently being evaluated for the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (the drug division of FDA.)

RenovoRx is committed to transforming the lives of patients by delivering innovative solutions to change the current paradigm of cancer care. RenovoGem is currently under investigation for TAMP therapeutic delivery of gemcitabine and has not been approved for commercial sale.
