LOS ALTOS, Calif., July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- RenovoRx, a biopharmaceutical company and innovator in targeted cancer therapy, today announced the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued U.S. Patent No. 11,052,224. This new patent extends the Company's extensive coverage of its novel RenovoRx therapeutic Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (RenovoTAMP^™) therapy platform. The newly issued patent provides additional coverage of the RenovoTAMP method of more efficiently delivering a chemotherapeutic agent to treat a tumor in conjunction with pre-treatment with radiation to modify the tissue microenvironment. This is RenovoRx's seventh U.S. patent.

"We are pleased with this seventh U.S. patent issuance as it marks an important achievement in our patent portfolio with its additional coverage for the RenovoRx therapy platform. Our primary goal with RenovoTAMP is to offer cancer patients an innovative targeted therapy that offers a potential option to achieve an extended and better quality of life," said Shaun Bagai, Chief Executive Officer at RenovoRx. "This addition to our patent portfolio has the potential to continually increase value for our investors further demonstrating our commitment to expand opportunities for patients through our therapy platform."

RenovoTAMP is the Company's novel therapy platform designed to deliver well-established and de-risked chemotherapeutic agents for targeted treatment of solid cancer tumors and is under investigation to increase survival and improve quality of life. This platform technology will enable physicians to isolate the anatomy and micro-perfuse targeted tissue with small molecule chemotherapy. RenovoRx has already secured Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for Intra-Arterial gemcitabine for the treatment of pancreatic and bile duct cancers.

The TIGeR-PaC clinical trial is a randomized study utilizing the RenovoTAMP platform to evaluate RenovoRx's first product candidate, RenovoGem^™ (intra-arterial gemcitabine [chemotherapy] in combination with the proprietary RenovoCath^® delivery system). TIGeR-PaC is currently enrolling locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer patients. In clinical studies conducted to date, gemcitabine delivered directly via the pancreatic arteries using the RenovoTAMP platform with its treatment regime was associated with more than half the patients living over two years.

The randomized TIGeR-PaC trial is enrolling unresectable locally-advanced pancreatic cancer patients. To learn more, visit https://renovorx.com/clinical-trial/.
