Ongoing Research is Investigating RenovoGem™ to deal with Regionally Superior Pancreatic Most cancers
LOS ALTOS, Calif., June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — RenovoRx, Inc. (RenovoRx or the Firm) (Nasdaq: RNXT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical firm growing novel precision oncology therapies based mostly on an area drug-delivery platform, introduced at present that the College of Nebraska Medical Heart (UNMC) is now enrolling sufferers with Regionally Superior Pancreatic Most cancers (LAPC) within the Firm’s ongoing pivotal Section III TIGeR-PaC medical trial.
The TIGeR-PaC examine is utilizing RenovoRx’s patented TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) remedy platform to guage its RenovoGem investigational drug-device mixture product. RenovoGem makes use of pressure-mediated supply of chemotherapy throughout the arterial wall to wash tumor tissue. The examine is evaluating therapy with TAMP to the present standard-of-care (systemic intravenous chemotherapy).
This yr alone, greater than 66,000 Individuals are anticipated to be recognized with pancreatic most cancers, mentioned Affiliate Professor at UNMC, Kelsey Klute, MD, Division of Oncology & Hematology Gastrointestinal Most cancers, Pancreatic Most cancers. Chemotherapy given intravenously is the present customary therapy for many sufferers with pancreatic most cancers. One of many greatest challenges in treating pancreatic most cancers is that the tumor cells construct a thick layer of scar tissue across the tumor, and this scar tissue makes it very tough for medication to penetrate the tumor itself. I believe this is likely one of the causes that many investigational medication examined in pancreatic most cancers fail “ they merely aren’t reaching the tumor at excessive sufficient focus to have an impact. The continuing TIGeR-PaC examine is evaluating RenovoRx’s revolutionary focused (intra-arterial) strategy to chemotherapy supply, which goals to ship drugs theoretically by way of the layer of scar tissue on to the tumor within the pancreas. We’re hopeful that this strategy will result in higher outcomes for our sufferers: each improved survival in addition to decreased negative effects.
We’re proud to associate with Dr. Klute and her crew in our Section III TIGeR-PaC trial, mentioned Leesa Gentry, Chief Scientific Officer of RenovoRx.
