MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RenovoRx, Inc. (“RenovoRx” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: RNXT), a life-sciences company developing innovative targeted oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath®, a patented, FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, today announced that new clinical data will be presented at the 2026 Society of Interventional Oncology (SIO) Annual Scientific Meeting on February 6, 2026.
The clinical data abstract entitled, “Real-Time Intravascular Pressure Measurements During Double Balloon Catheter-Mediated Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion to Optimize Drug Delivery in Solid Tumors,” was led by Christopher Laing, MD of Sutter Health in California. The study explores a simplified method for measuring intra-arterial pressure during procedures that use the TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) therapy platform enabled by the RenovoCath catheter, an adjustable, double-balloon drug-delivery device, and how these measurements along with other variables can play a role in optimizing targeted delivery of chemotherapy in difficult-to-treat tumors.
“The ability to measure intra-arterial pressure in real-time provides valuable insight into the mechanics of the approach during TAMP procedures,” said Dr. Laing, MD. “As these techniques are further validated, pressure monitoring has the potential to help clinicians better understand and refine the variables that influence effective drug-delivery.”

The findings in this study demonstrate that a simplified, external pressure transducer provides reliable and reproducible intra-arterial pressure measurements during TAMP procedures, with strong correlation to intravascular pressure wire measurements in a porcine model. The data further indicates that peak intra-arterial measurements are influenced by controllable procedural variables, including catheter balloon spacing and target vessel diameter, highlighting opportunities for procedural optimization.

Title: Real-Time Intravascular Pressure Measurements During Double Balloon Catheter-Mediated Trans-Arterial Micro Perfusion to Optimize Drug Delivery in Solid Tumors
Location: ePoster Corridor
Abstract Number: 303
Authors: Christopher Laing, Robert Strasser, and Ramtin Agah
Ramtin Agah, RenovoRx’s Chairman and Chief Medical Officer and co-author of the study added, “These findings support the potential for routine intra-arterial monitoring to enhance standardization, optimize delivery conditions, and potentially improve clinical outcomes using our TAMP therapy platform.”
The study is co-authored by a team representing leading academic institutions and cancer centers, including Sutter Health and Atrium Health at the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
About RenovoCath
Based on its FDA clearance, RenovoCath® is intended for the isolation of blood flow and delivery of fluids, including diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, to select sites in the peripheral vascular system. RenovoCath is also indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion. For further information regarding our RenovoCath Instructions for Use (“IFU”), please see: IFU-10004-Rev.-G-Universal-IFU.pdf.
About RenovoRx, Inc.
RenovoRx, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNXT) is a life sciences company developing innovative targeted oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath®, a novel, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared local drug-delivery device, targeting high unmet medical needs. RenovoRx’s patented Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (TAMP™) therapy platform is designed for targeted therapeutic delivery across the arterial wall near the tumor site to bathe the target tumor, while potentially minimizing a therapy’s toxicities versus systemic intravenous therapy. RenovoRx’s novel approach to targeted treatment offers the potential for increased safety, tolerance, and improved efficacy. The Company’s mission is to transform the lives of cancer patients by providing innovative solutions to enable targeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents.
RenovoRx is in the early stages of actively commercializing the TAMP therapy platform and FDA-cleared RenovoCath as a stand-alone device. In December 2024, RenovoRx announced the receipt of its first commercial purchase orders for RenovoCath devices, and for the first nine months of 2025, approximately $900,000 of revenues were generated from RenovoCath sales. Several customers have already initiated repeat orders in parallel to RenovoRx expanding the number of medical institutions initiating new RenovoCath orders, including several esteemed, high-volume National Cancer Institute-designated centers. To meet and satisfy the anticipated demand, RenovoRx will continue to actively explore further revenue-generating activity, either on its own or in tandem with a medical device commercial partner.
RenovoRx is also evaluating a novel drug-device combination oncology product candidate (intra-arterial gemcitabine delivered via RenovoCath, known as IAG) in the ongoing Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial. IAG is being evaluated by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (the drug division of the FDA) under a U.S. investigational new drug application that is regulated by the FDA’s 21 CFR 312 pathway. IAG utilizes RenovoCath, the Company’s patented, FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, indicated for temporary vessel occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion.
The combination product candidate (IAG), which is enabled by the RenovoCath device, is currently under investigation and has not been approved for commercial sale. RenovoCath with gemcitabine received Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer and bile duct cancer, which provides seven years of market exclusivity upon new drug application approval by the FDA.
