RenovoRx increases its commercial footprint to thirteen leading National Cancer Institute-designated and community centers approved to purchase RenovoCath Four active cancer center customers are currently purchasing and have made repeat orders of RenovoCath for interventional radiology procedures RenovoRx hires Senior Director of Sales and Market Development to coordinate, execute, and expand commercialization strategy MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 06, 2025 (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 strong progress in its commercialization efforts, including its growing customer base and the hiring of experienced medical device sales leader Philip Stocton as Senior Director of Sales and Market Development to lead the execution of RenovoRx’s commercialization efforts. Since launching its commercial efforts in December 2024, RenovoRx has established commercial momentum for RenovoCath, with thirteen cancer center customers approved to purchase the device, including several high-volume, National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated academic and community centers, an increase from five centers in the first quarter of 2025. Four of these thirteen cancer centers have used the device in patients, and all have made repeat purchase orders subsequently. This momentum highlights the growing clinical demand across the United States for novel, localized solid tumor drug-delivery options beyond methods like systemic intravenous delivery of chemotherapy. RenovoRx believes that many of the 18 cancer centers that have used RenovoCath as part of its ongoing, pivotal Phase III TIGeR-PaC trial could also be potential customers for RenovoCath after the completion of TIGeR-PaC enrollment, which is expected later this year or early next year. Additionally, to coordinate, execute, and expand its commercial efforts for RenovoCath, RenovoRx has hired Philip Stocton as Senior Director of Sales and Market Development. Mr. Stocton brings over 25 years of experience in MedTech sales, marketing, and leadership from various commercial positions at Terumo, Johnson & Johnson, Varian (acquired by Siemens), and, most recently, Sirtex Medical. Over the past 10 years, he has specialized in interventional oncology in both domestic and international roles. Prior to his hiring, Mr. Stocton had been consulting for RenovoRx in connection with its RenovoCath commercial launch planning efforts. Dr. Gregory Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, Chief of Hepatobiliary Surgery at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center and Assistant Professor, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine stated, “At Hackensack Meridian Health, we are committed to bringing medical innovations to our patients, ensuring they receive the most advanced treatment options available. Our priority is to personalize care and improve outcomes for cancer patients. We are proud to be the first medical institution in New Jersey to offer RenovoRx’s Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (or TAMP) therapy platform using the RenovoCath device, enabling targeted locoregional delivery of chemotherapy. This approach to targeted delivery offers the potential to reduce systemic toxicity and associated side effects and to enhance the quality of life for patients undergoing treatment. Importantly, TAMP also gives our patients who have run out of treatment options, hope and a chance to continue to fight.” “We are encouraged by the growing clinical adoption with our expanding RenovoCath customer base among leading cancer centers, which highlights the urgent need for effective localized drug-delivery that offer the potential to improve safety, efficacy, and quality-of-life for oncology patients,” said Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx. Mr. Bagai continued, “We are also excited to announce that Phil Stocton has joined our team as our Senior Director of Sales and Market Development. Phil brings extensive expertise in interventional oncology, and his experience will be invaluable as we scale our efforts and continue advancing our mission to improve outcomes for patients facing difficult-to-treat cancers. While we remain committed to building sales momentum without large capital outlays by our company, securing Phil full-time was an easy call and an investment in our future growth. We look forward to working with him as he leads the growth of our commercialization efforts with our in-house RenovoRx Team and without large expense outlays.” About RenovoCathBased on its FDA clearance, RenovoCath® is intended for the isolation of blood flow and delivery of fluids, including diagnostic and/or therapeutic agents, to selected 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, and its mission is to transform the lives of cancer patients by providing innovative solutions to enable targeted delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic agents. In addition to the RenovoCath device, RenovoRx is also evaluating its novel drug-device combination oncology product candidate (intra-arterial gemcitabine 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, 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. RenovoRx is also actively commercializing its TAMP technology 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. Additionally, several of these 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.
