AngioDynamics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGO), a leading and transformative
medical technology company focused on restoring healthy blood flow
in the body’s vascular system, expanding cancer treatment options
and improving patient quality of life, today announced it received
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance for the
NanoKnife System for prostate tissue ablation.
The Company received clearance for the NanoKnife System for
prostate tissue ablation following the completion of the pivotal
PRESERVE clinical study and submission of results to the FDA in
September. The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the
system for ablating prostate tissue in patients with
intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa). Conducted in collaboration
with the Society of Urologic Oncology Clinical Trials Consortium
(SUO-CTC), PRESERVE enrolled 121 patients across 17 clinical
sites.
“We are incredibly proud to receive FDA clearance for the
NanoKnife System’s use in prostate tissue,” said Jim Clemmer,
President and Chief Executive Officer of AngioDynamics. “This
milestone is the first step in recognizing our vision to become the
standard, function-preserving treatment for men with prostate
tumors. The NanoKnife System minimizes the life-altering
complications often associated with traditional treatments by
selectively targeting prostate tissue while preserving critical
functions. As we expand our global footprint and increase access to
our technology, we are launching comprehensive education and
awareness campaigns to empower physicians with hands-on training
and clinical support while engaging patients through innovative
outreach initiatives.”
Mr. Clemmer added, “These efforts are designed to accelerate the
adoption of the NanoKnife System, redefine the standard of care for
prostate health, and deliver treatment outcomes that patients and
physicians need. AngioDynamics is committed to driving meaningful
impact through this revolutionary technology, providing new hope to
patients and improved quality of life.”
The PRESERVE clinical study met its primary effectiveness
endpoint demonstrating the performance of the NanoKnife System for
the ablation of prostate tissue in patients with intermediate-risk
PCa. At 12-months post-procedure, 84.0% of men were free from
in-field, clinically significant disease. In addition, the study
demonstrated strong quality of life outcomes with short-term
urinary continence being preserved (96.6% at baseline, 95.4% at
12-months) and the ability to maintain erections sufficient for
intercourse only decreasing 9% compared to baseline (80.7% to
71.7%).1
The study’s results validated the robust safety and clinical
efficacy profile of the NanoKnife System, reinforcing findings from
more than 32 clinical studies performed around the world involving
over 2,600 patients.1
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men
worldwide, with approximately 1.5 million new cases diagnosed
annually.2 Many of these patients seek alternatives to radical
procedures that can lead to significant, long-term urological side
effects.3 The NanoKnife System is the first and only non-thermal,
radiation-free, ablation technology designed to treat prostate
tissue by using IRE technology, offering patients a minimally
invasive option for prostate treatment.
The NanoKnife System delivers an innovative alternative to
conventional radical surgery or radiotherapy, which often results
in significant dysfunction in urinary continence and erectile
potency.4 With its non-thermal approach, the system is engineered
to preserve vital structures inside and outside the prostate,
offering patients improved outcomes, reduced recovery times, and
enhanced quality of life.5

About the NanoKnife System
The NanoKnife System utilizes Irreversible Electroporation (IRE)
technology to effectively destroy targeted cells without the use of
thermal energy by delivering high-voltage pulses, creating
permanent nanopores within the cell membrane. This stimulus induces
an apoptotic-like cellular death in the targeted tissue, resulting
in a complete ablation of the targeted tissue.6 Visit nanoknife.com
for full product information.
United States: The NanoKnife System with six outputs is
indicated for surgical ablation of soft tissue, including prostate
tissue.
Canada: The NanoKnife System is a medical device for cell
membrane electroporation. Electroporation is a phenomenon that
occurs in cell membranes as cells are exposed to an electrical
field of sufficiently high intensity. The electric field acts as a
physical stimulus, bringing about alterations in cell membranes
that result in increased permeability.
European Union: The NanoKnife System is indicated for the
ablation of prostate tissue in patients with intermediate risk
prostate cancer.
