Financing led by new fundamental healthcare
institutional investors
RenovoRx, Inc. (“RenovoRx” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:
RNXT), a life sciences company developing novel targeted
oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath®, an innovative,
FDA-cleared delivery platform, today announced the closing of its
previously announced $12.1 million firm commitment underwritten
public offering of common stock led by multiple fundamental
healthcare institutional investors.
“We are very excited to close this common stock-only financing
led by multiple high-quality fundamental healthcare institutional
investors who are new to our company, which we view as a major
achievement,” said Shaun Bagai, CEO of RenovoRx. “This financing
strengthens our balance sheet as we progress towards the potential
realization of important valuation inflection points planned for
2025, including the recording of our first RenovoCath sales
revenue, completion of enrollment for our pivotal Phase III
TIGeR-PaC clinical trial, and a second interim data readout from
that trial. The support from our new institutional investors
highlights their strong confidence in our patented Trans-Arterial
Micro-Perfusion (TAMP™) therapy platform and our clinical and
commercial plans for our FDA-cleared RenovoCath delivery system. We
strongly believe our technology has the potential to revolutionize
cancer treatment by enabling precise delivery of therapeutic
agents. We look forward to utilizing the proceeds of this offering
to help make this potential a reality and drive value for our
stockholders.”
In the offering, which closed on February 10, 2025, RenovoRx
sold 11,523,810 shares of its common stock at an offering price of
$1.05 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering were
approximately $12.1 million, with net proceeds of approximately
$10.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and
commissions and offering expenses payable by RenovoRx. RenovoRx
intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for working
capital and general corporate purposes, including continued
progress on its Phase III TIGeR-PaC study and the continued
development and execution of commercial sales and marketing
activities for RenovoCath as a standalone device.

acted as the sole bookrunner for the offering. Ellenoff Grossman
& Schole LLP acted as legal counsel to RenovoRx, and Mintz,

About RenovoRx, Inc.
RenovoRx is a life sciences company developing novel targeted
oncology therapies and commercializing RenovoCath®, an innovative,
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared local drug-delivery
platform, targeting high unmet medical needs. RenovoRx’s patented
Trans-Arterial Micro-Perfusion (TAMP™) therapy platform is designed
to ensure precise 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’s Phase III lead product candidate is a novel oncology
drug-device combination product. It is being investigated under a
U.S. investigational new drug application that is regulated by the
FDA’s 21 CFR 312 pathway. The investigational drug-device
combination candidate utilizes RenovoCath, the Company’s
FDA-cleared drug-delivery device, indicated for temporary vessel
occlusion in applications including arteriography, preoperative
occlusion, and chemotherapeutic drug infusion. The intra-arterial
infusion of chemotherapy, gemcitabine, utilizing the RenovoCath
catheter is currently being evaluated for the treatment of locally
advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) by the Center for Drug Evaluation
and Research (the drug division of FDA).
The intra-arterial infusion of gemcitabine by the RenovoCath
catheter 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 7 years of market exclusivity upon NDA approval by the
FDA.
RenovoRx is also engaged in implementing commercialization
strategies utilizing its TAMP technology and FDA-cleared RenovoCath
delivery system as a stand-alone device. In December 2024, RenovoRx
announced the receipt of its first commercial purchase orders for
RenovoCath devices. Additionally, over ten medical institutions
have initiated the process for RenovoCath purchase orders. 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.
