Data on IceCure's ProSense® Cryoablation for Low-Risk Breast Cancer Presented at Radiological Society of North America's 2024 Annual Meeting

• ICE3 trial results presented by ICE3 Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Kenneth Tomkovich
• FDA Advisory Panel voted in favor of IceCure's ProSense® cryoablation benefit-risk profile in early-stage low risk breast cancer in Nov. 2025
• FDA's marketing authorization decision expected in Q1, 2025 

CAESAREA, Israel, Dec. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 that data from its ICE3 trial of ProSense's® in early-stage breast cancer were presented at the Radiological Society of North America's 2024 Annual Meeting on December 5, 2024 in Chicago, IL. The abstract titled "Cryoablation as a primary treatment for low-risk breast cancer less than 1.5 cm without surgical excision final results of the ICE3 Trial" was presented by Dr. Kenneth Tomkovich, co-principal investigator of the ICE3 trial.

Dr. Tomkovich commented, "The significance of the ICE3 results in the field of radiology, especially among breast radiologists, cannot be overstated. As the largest study of its kind, ICE3 provides crucial data that can support the shift towards the de-escalation of breast cancer care with cryoablation as a less invasive procedure, enabling the cohort of patients included in ICE3 to have a safe and effective option to surgical lumpectomy."

"ProSense®'s ICE3 results are gaining increasing prominence across a range of medical specialty conferences globally, as well as through prominent peer reviewed journals. This is critical support for market adoption leading up to the expected decision of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regarding marketing authorization of ProSense® for early-stage breast cancer in the U.S.," stated IceCure CEO Eyal Shamir.

The presentation's findings included the following:

• The overall five-year recurrence rate of 3.7% in combination with adjuvant endocrine therapy and 4.3% in the eligible ICE3 trial population is similar to reported recurrence rates for the current standard of care, surgical lumpectomy.
• Substantial benefits, as compared to surgery, include performance in an outpatient setting using local anesthesia, the only reported adverse events being minor in severity, and 100% patient satisfaction with cosmetic outcomes.
• Results of the ICE3 trial suggest that cryoablation for small low-risk breast cancers is a safe and effective primary treatment option alternative to surgical lumpectomy.
• Sentinel lymph node biopsy is likely not required in this cohort of patients
