IceCure Reports Positive 5-Year Top-Line Results from ICESECRET Kidney Cancer Cryoablation Study: 89.4% and 83.9% Recurrence-Free Rates

 

At a median follow-up of four years, 89.4% recurrence-free rate in patients with tumors ≤3 cm and no prior kidney cancer; 83.9% recurrence-free rate for general study population

 

Full analysis of results to be presented at European Conference of Interventional Oncology 2026 in Basel, Switzerland

 

Data supports broader commercial adoption of ProSense® as a minimally invasive treatment for small renal masses in markets where it is approved for kidney cancer, including the U.S. and Europe

 

CAESAREA, Israel, March 25, 2026 – IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (“IceCure”, “IceCure Medical” or the “Company”), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an option to surgical tumor removal, today announced positive top-line results from its ICESECRET clinical trial of ProSense® for the treatment of small renal masses (“SRMs”) in kidney cancer patients.

 

A total of 114 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 112 were evaluated at a median follow-up of four years (IQR 1.4–5.3). The study demonstrated that 83.9% of patients were recurrence-free at this median follow-up period. Among these patients, 12 underwent a second cryoablation procedure at a mean of 1.73±1.2 years. In a subgroup of patients with tumors ≤3 cm, no prior kidney cancer, and successful initial procedures, the recurrence-free rate reached 89.4%.

 

More detailed data from the study will be presented by Principal Investigator Prof. Halahmi Sarel at the European Conference on Interventional Oncology (“ECIO), which will take place form April 26 to 30, 2026, in Basel, Switzerland.

 

ProSense® is currently approved in the U.S., Europe and other key markets for the treatment of malignant and benign kidney tumors.

 

“We believe the positive top-line results from this study further reinforce cryoablation with ProSense® as an effective and durable treatment option for patients with small renal masses,” said Eyal Shamir, Chief Executive Officer of IceCure. “We believe these findings may help drive broader commercial adoption of ProSense® in countries where it is already approved to treat kidney tumors, as physicians and healthcare systems continue to seek minimally invasive alternatives with strong long-term outcomes.”

 

ICESECRET, a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial, was performed at Bnai Zion Medical Center in Haifa, Israel and Shamir Medical Center in Be’er Ya’akov, Israel and is led by Principal Investigator Prof. Halahmi Sarel. The trial included 114 patients (138 lesions) with localized SRMs of ≤5 cm ablated with ProSense® cryoablation under CT guidance. Follow-up visits were performed at six weeks, six months, one year and then annually up to five years after the procedure using ProSense®. During follow-up visits, data related to local recurrence, based on CT imaging, was collected. Safety was determined by monitoring procedure-related adverse events throughout the study.

 

 

 

 

SRMs are increasingly detected due to increased imaging and represent a growing clinical challenge, particularly among elderly patients and those with comorbidities who are not suitable candidates for surgery. Minimally invasive, nephron-sparing treatment options that preserve kidney function, while effectively controlling tumors, are critically needed. The incidence of kidney cancer is growing worldwide, with an estimated 400,000 new of kidney cancer cases globally, according to a 2024 study published in Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation. As of 2025, over 80,000 new cases of kidney cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. alone, according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, highlighting a growing, unmet need.
