"We couldn't be more pleased with the high level of interest in ProSense® at the ASBrS 2025 Annual Meeting and the reaction of breast surgeons to the recent positive U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") development regarding our cryoablation system's pathway to marketing authorization," stated Eyal Shamir, IceCure's Chief Executive Officer. "A large number of doctors approached our booth, asking how they could participate in our planned post-market study and how they could offer ProSense® to their patients following marketing authorization. We were fortunate that cryoablation for breast cancer was included in prominent presentations by thought leaders, including in the Presidential Address and the Best Papers of 2024 review, putting a spotlight on our technology which we believe can offer greater choice to women with early-stage breast cancer."
The Company's participation included:
Exhibiting its ProSense® cryoablation system at its booth and providing hands-on demonstrations;
Sponsoring and participating in the pre-conference ultrasound course where hands-on ProSense® training was provided; and
Hosting an Expert Booth meeting titled "The Future of Cryoablation in Breast Cancer: A Focus on the Patient Journey" with featured speaker Dr. Nathalie Johnson, former ASBrS President, and guest speaker Dr. Richard Fine, ICE3 Investigator
During the ASBrS Presidential Address, cryoablation was positively mentioned and the importance of breast surgeons needing to have the skills to provide all therapeutic procedures for their patients was underscored—including minimally invasive and percutaneous procedures, such as cryoablation. The address specifically mentioned the ICE3 study and stated that the ASBrS awaits a final decision from the FDA for breast cancer cryoablation.
Additionally, the ICE3 study was included in the Best Papers of 2024 review where a summary of the data was presented, and it was noted that cryoablation is a technique that should be "in the hands of" breast surgeons.
On April 30, 2025, IceCure announced it concluded a meeting with the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health regarding the Company's De Novo marketing authorization request for ProSense® in the treatment of early-stage low risk breast cancer when combined with adjuvant endocrine therapy for women aged 70 and over. During the meeting, the FDA requested that IceCure conduct a study after marketing authorization has been granted, with the aim of producing additional data in this indication. IceCure will present its post-market study plan, which is expected to include a minimum of 400 patients at 25 sites, to the FDA, and upon the approval of such plan, the FDA's final marketing authorization decision is expected.
