Icecure Medical Ltd. Stock Price, News & Analysis

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) has received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for a continuation patent on its novel cryogenic pump technology. This patent, effective until 2041, reinforces IceCure's global IP leadership in cryoablation technologies. The innovative pump, submersible in liquid nitrogen, works in a closed circuit and improves cooling rates during procedures. It's designed for multiple or longer duration procedures without liquid nitrogen refills and enables a wider range of cryoprobes and catheters.

The patent broadens the applications of IceCure's cryoablation platform across various technology fields. CEO Eyal Shamir stated that this patent supports the potential for increasing indications, procedures, and applications with their next-generation cryoablation systems. The timing aligns with existing FDA approvals and the anticipated FDA decision on clearance for early-stage breast cancer in Q1 2025.

IceCure Medical (ICCM) reported a 20% growth in ProSense® system and probe sales for the first half of 2024, reflecting continued adoption in the U.S. and other global markets. Key highlights include:

1. FDA Medical Device Advisory Committee expected in Q4 2024 for early-stage, low risk breast cancer treatment.
2. Interim results from ICESECRET kidney cancer trial expected by December 2024.
3. Terumo to file for regulatory approval in Japan in Q1 2025.
4. Total revenue grew to $1,754,000 from $1,647,000 in H1 2023.
5. Net loss narrowed to $6,690,000 ($0.14 per share) from $7,657,000 ($0.17 per share) in H1 2023.
6. Cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million as of June 30, 2024.

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) announced results from an independent study on its ProSense® cryoablation technology for breast cancer treatment. The study, published in the British Journal of Radiology, showed:

- 100% complete ablation rate for Luminal A and B breast cancer tumors ≤ 25mm after 16 months median follow-up
- 95.6% of patients offered cryoablation accepted it
- Median patient age was 87 (range 60-96)
- No major complications were observed

The study concluded that cryoablation is a safe, effective alternative to surgery for early-stage breast cancer in non-surgical patients, well-tolerated as an outpatient procedure. IceCure CEO Eyal Shamir highlighted the potential increasing demand for ProSense® due to the aging population and higher breast cancer risk with age.

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM), a developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology for tumor destruction, has announced its plans to release financial and operational results for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The company will issue a press release before the Nasdaq Stock Market opens on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Additionally, IceCure will host a conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. EDT on the same day to discuss the results and other corporate developments.

Investors and interested parties can access the conference call using the following details:

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) announced positive data from a large multi-institutional study on cryoablation of primary breast cancer in patients ineligible for clinical trials. The study, published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, included 112 high-risk patients with a median age of 71. Recurrence-free rates were 94.7%, 87.8%, and 81.8% at 1, 2, and 3 years, respectively. The study used various cryoablation systems, including IceCure's ProSense®, across 7 U.S. institutions. Treatment showed a low frequency of adverse events (6.3% minor, no moderate or major) and high technical success (98.2%). Researchers concluded that cryoablation remains a safe alternative to surgery with good outcomes, especially for poor surgical candidates due to comorbidities.

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM) reported key findings from three clinical studies of its ProSense® cryoablation system for breast cancer treatment at the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society. Highlights include:

1. An independent study by Prof. Fukuma showed a 99.74% recurrence-free rate in 389 patients treated over 10 years.

2. Another study by Prof. Kawamoto found 0% local recurrence in a five-year follow-up.

3. Terumo , IceCure's distribution partner, plans to submit an application for regulatory clearance in Japan by Q1 2025.

The demand for minimally invasive breast cancer treatments was a major theme at the conference, with ProSense® gaining traction due to its efficacy, favorable cosmetic results, and potential immune system benefits.

IceCure Medical (Nasdaq: ICCM), a developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology for tumor destruction, has received a notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. The company has been granted a 180-day grace period until January 14, 2025, to regain compliance. During this period, ICCM's shares will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

To regain compliance, ICCM's closing bid price must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If unsuccessful, the company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, provided it meets other listing requirements. IceCure Medical states that maintaining its Nasdaq listing is a priority and will consider available options to cure the deficiency if necessary.

An independent study published in 'Cancers' supports the efficacy and safety of IceCure's ProSense® cryoablation system for treating metastatic and recurrent breast cancer. Conducted by Prof. Thomas J. Vogl at the University Hospital Frankfurt, the study involved 45 patients, including those with metastatic disease and recurrent tumors up to 4 cm in diameter. Key findings include a 100% complete ablation rate, 8.9% recurrence rate, and no observed complications. This research, featuring a higher-risk patient group than IceCure's U.S. ICE3 study, underscores ProSense®'s viability across a broader spectrum of breast cancer diagnoses. CEO Eyal Shamir emphasized the significance of these results for ProSense® users in Europe, where the system is approved for general breast cancer treatment.

IceCure Medical announced that the FDA has granted regulatory clearance for its next-generation XSense™ Cryoablation System with CryoProbes. The system, which uses extreme cold to destroy tissues, is cleared for the same indications as its predecessor, ProSense®. These include applications in general surgery, dermatology, neurology, thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology, and urology. The technology addresses conditions such as fibroadenomas, kidney tissue, liver metastases, tumors, skin lesions, and warts. CEO Eyal Shamir stated that this clearance validates the safety and efficacy of the platform, potentially enabling the system to address unmet medical needs in the U.S.
