RenovoRx Announces First Commercial Clinical Use of RenovoCath® in Sarcoma Patient Treatment, Marking Expansion of Targeted Drug-Delivery Device to Other Solid Tumors

  • RenovoRx, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNXT) announced the first commercial clinical use of its RenovoCath device for treating a sarcoma patient at the CARTI Cancer Center Little Rock.
  • Treatment began in late June 2026 and remains ongoing, utilizing the device to deliver chemotherapy locally near the tumor rather than via systemic intravenous administration.
  • CARTI is concurrently using RenovoCath for localized drug delivery in pancreatic cancer cases, demonstrating the technology's expanding application across different tumor types.
  • Dr. Edgar St. Amour of CARTI noted that sarcoma is often challenging to treat with systemic chemotherapy due to diverse locations, while local delivery via RenovoCath may reduce toxicity.
  • Ramtin Agah, MD, Chief Medical Officer of RenovoRx, stated this milestone highlights RenovoCath's potential as a stand-alone device for solid tumors beyond its core focus on pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • RenovoCath is FDA-cleared for isolating blood flow, delivering fluids, & temporary vessel occlusion for applications such as arteriography, preoperative occlusion, & chemotherapeutic infusion.
  • In 2025, RenovoRx generated approximately $1.1 million in RenovoCath sales, with a record $563,000 in sales recorded during the first quarter of 2026.
  • The company is evaluating its drug-device combination candidate, intra-arterial gemcitabine delivered via RenovoCath (IAG), in the Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial.
  • RenovoRx anticipates full enrollment in the TIGeR-PaC trial in the near term, with a final data readout expected in mid to late 2027.
  • IAG has received Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer & bile duct cancer, granting seven years of market exclusivity upon FDA approval.
  • RenovoRx is actively working to expand orders from medical institutions, including National Cancer Institute-designated centers.
