IceCure Announces FDA Advisory Panel Meeting Date for Marketing Authorization of ProSense® in Early-Stage Low Risk Breast Cancer Scheduled for November 7, 2024

 

●

Public forum to evaluate ProSense® cryoablation as a minimally invasive alternative to lumpectomy for an estimated 70,000 women diagnosed in U.S. annually with early-stage low risk breast cancer

 

●

FDA decision regarding marketing authorization of ProSense® expected by early 2025

 

CAESAREA, Israel, September 12, 2024 – IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (“IceCure”, “IceCure Medical” or the “Company”), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (“FDA”) Medical Device Advisory Committee Panel (the “Advisory Panel”) is scheduled to take place on Thursday, November 7, 2024. The purpose of the Advisory Panel is for the FDA to obtain independent expert advice on scientific, technical and policy matters related to the De Novo Classification Request for marketing authorization of ProSense® for the indication of treating patients with early-stage low risk invasive breast cancer with cryoablation and adjuvant endocrine therapy.

 

“This public forum transparency ensures key stakeholders, including women with early-stage low risk breast cancer, their doctors and payors, can exchange views and data regarding the potential benefits of minimally invasive cryoablation with ProSense® as an alternative to surgery,” stated IceCure’s CEO, Eyal Shamir. “Following the Advisory Panel, we anticipate that the FDA will make a decision regarding marketing clearance of ProSense® by early 2025.”

 

The Advisory Panel will include breast surgeons, interventional radiologists and industry representatives from the regulatory community. The vast body of data available on ProSense® as a treatment for early-stage low risk breast cancer will be reviewed by the Advisory Panel, including results from the Company’s ICE3 study, the largest controlled multicenter clinical trial ever performed for liquid nitrogen-based cryoablation of early-stage malignant breast tumors. Per the analysis, at the 5-year follow-up evaluation, 96.3% of the subgroup of patients treated with ProSense® cryoablation, followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy, were estimated to be free from local recurrence. 100% patient and physician satisfaction was reported. The Advisory Panel is expected to make its recommendations at the conclusion of the meeting, at which time the FDA will commence its review process.

 

The FDA generally makes Advisory Panel meeting materials and the live webcast link available to the public no later than two business days before the meeting, at which time IceCure intends to share the link with shareholders via a press release.
