MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenovoRx, Inc. ("RenovoRx" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: RNXT), a life sciences company developing innovative targeted oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath$(R)$ , a patented, FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, today announced the formation of a dedicated RenovoCath Medical Advisory Board ("MAB") to support its clinical and strategic initiatives.
The MAB brings together leading US interventional radiology experts to provide strategic clinical insights that further advance the TAMP (Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion) therapy platform in clinical indications of high unmet medical need. The MAB compliments the Company's esteemed and long-standing Scientific Advisory Board that provides specialized guidance on RenovoRx's scientific research and clinical program strategy.
The MAB will support RenovoRx's ongoing clinical and market strategy and provide important insights into potential investigator-initiated trials supported by the Company. These capital-efficient studies are designed to provide meaningful data that may further broaden the application for the TAMP platform. Enabled by the RenovoCath device, TAMP 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. Current RenovoRx-supported investigator-initiated trials include borderline resectable and metastatic pancreatic cancer and could eventually lead to expansion of targeted indications.
The MAB will also provide feedback to RenovoRx's sales and marketing team as they work to bring RenovoCath to market as a standalone device within its FDA-cleared indications for use.
"The formation of the MAB marks an exciting milestone for RenovoRx, and we're honored to have such respected interventional radiology experts supporting advancement of the RenovoCath device," said Ramtin Agah, MD, RenovoRx's Chairman and Chief Medical Officer. "Their collective expertise will help guide real-world evidence generation as we advance our novel approach to localized, targeted drug delivery, aiming to improve outcomes for patients diagnosed with difficult-to-treat cancers."

About RenovoCath
Based on its FDA clearance, RenovoCath(R) 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.

About RenovoRx, Inc.
RenovoRx, Inc. (Nasdaq: RNXT) is a life sciences company developing innovative targeted oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath(R), 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(TM)) 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.
RenovoRx is in the initial stages of 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, 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 its 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 IAG 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.
