Thank you, Walter, and good afternoon, everyone. I appreciate everyone joining us today. At Renovo Rx, we're pioneering a new aeron-cancer care through our trans-arterial microprofusion or TAMP therapy platform. By localizing and targeting delivery of therapeutic agents like chemotherapy near the tumor sites via the peripheral system, TAMP is designed to optimize drug concentration precisely where it's needed while potentially minimizing systemic exposure and related toxicities. This targeted approach addresses the long-standing challenge in cancer care where there is poor tumor blood supply. I believe TAMP represents a significant advancement in the way cancer treatment can be approached. Our mission is to transform patients' outcome by providing a safer, more effective way to deliver therapy directly to -to-treat tumors. Our ongoing Phase III target-packed clinical trial evaluating the targeted delivery of chemotherapy, gemceptabine, with TAMP via our patented FDA-cleared and over-CAHP device to patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer is advancing with encouraging results. Our initial interim data showed that the patients experienced median overall survival with standard systemic chemotherapy delivery of 10 months versus 16 months with our targeted approach. This is from the time of randomization. It is important to note that both median overall survival ARMS calculation for the study in term analysis data do not include approximately five and a half months of life from diagnosis to randomization during the induction chemotherapy and radiation phase of the trial. Moreover, we observed a 65% reduction in adverse events such as nausea and fatigue, significantly improving patient quality of life. These results strengthen our conviction that TAMP can redefine outcomes for patients facing some of the most -to-treat cancer. As we continue to increase exposure to TAMP and Renovacat through our target-packed trial and more recently, through our commercial efforts for Renovacat as a standalone device, the reception from physician community has been overwhelmingly positive. Clinical investigators have expressed strong support and enthusiasm to our approach in drug delivery, recognizing the potential clinical benefit and improved tolerability profile that the use of Renovacat offers. Their feedback reinforces our belief that Renovarx is well positioned to establish a new standard for self-care, for LAPC, and potentially other indications. As we advance our clinical and commercialization efforts, I'm energized by the transformative potential of our platform and deeply appreciate your continued support as we work to change the future of cancer treatment. Thank you for attending and for your support of Renovarx. With that, I turn over to our CEO, Sean Begay.

Thank you, Romton. Q1 of 2025 represented our first quarter of generating revenue from commercial sales. This is the result of the important strategic decision we made in 2024 to focus on implementing a commercial strategy for Renovacat in tandem with our ongoing Phase III trial. We plan to launch our commercial efforts for Renovacat during Q1 of this year in response to anticipated strong demand for our technology. However, we received purchase orders ahead of schedule, generating $43,000 of revenue in December. I am proud of our team for quickly implementing a global market strategy to meet the demand from the oncology community and therefore made the decision to increase our U.S.-based Renovacat production last year. Last month, I stated that we expected Q1 revenue to be in the low six-figure range, followed by sequential -over-quarter increases for the remainder of the year. I am pleased to report that revenue from Renovacat exceeded our internal expectations to approximately $200,000 in the first quarter, and we anticipate this trend to continue going forward with sequential quarterly growth for the foreseeable future. We are encouraged by the strong organic demand for Renovacat, with more than 10 medical institutions that are not current TigerPak sites having initiated a process for Renovacat purchase orders. These include several esteemed high-volume academic and community and National Cancer Institute designated centers. Further, we believe the approximately 20 centers that have used Renovacat as part of our TigerPak trial could also be potential customers for Renovacat after completion of TigerPak enrollment anticipated for later this year. Additionally, early utilization of Renovacat devices by initial customers has led to repeat purchase orders. Based on our internal analysis of clinical interest and FDA-cleared applications of the We believe that our initial total addressable market for Renovacat represents an estimated $400 million peak U.S. annual sales opportunity. We are assuming an average of eight annual procedures per patient and 7,000 initial target patients that peak market penetration in patient populations where we already have clinical usage. While we haven't publicly disclosed our catheter pricing, technologies utilizing the same reimbursement coding are charging between $6,500 and $8,500 per device. Looking ahead, we see expansion opportunities across other cancer medications that could create the potential for a several billion dollar U.S. TAM for Renovacat over time. The prospect of generating even a small portion of this market combined with the potential to help so many patients is driving our excitement about this opportunity. We believe we can manage meaningful market penetration with a small yet focused commercial targeting the top 200 high volume treatment centers. Importantly, we believe this strategy can be executed without a material increase in our expenses, whether through direct commercialization or by partnering with a larger organization with an established sales force, which is a strategy we are actively exploring. We expect that the growing revenues from Renovacat will reduce our burn rate and that our cash on hand of $14.6 million at the end of the first quarter will fully fund both our Renovacat scale up and the continued progress of our Phase III TIGERPAC clinical trial. On the topic of our TIGERPAC clinical trial, during the first quarter of 2025, we announced that Johns Hopkins Medicine has now initiated enrollment in our ongoing Phase III TIGERPAC trial. This is a valuable addition to the distinguished network of clinical cancer sites across the U.S. participating in this important trial as we work towards full enrollment. We are continuing to target additional sites and expect that TIGERPAC will achieve full enrollment during 2025. As a reminder, the current protocol and statistical analysis plan for the TIGERPAC trial requires 114 randomized patients, with 86 events or deaths necessary to complete the final analysis. As of May 2, 2025, 91 patients have been randomized and 56 events have occurred, triggering a second interim analysis. We expect the study's data monitoring committee to review the data in Q3 and eagerly await the recommendations and feedback. Last week, we announced the issuance of a new U.S. patent for our TANF therapy platform, further enhancing our IP production. Renovacat's strong and growing intellectual property portfolio provides key support to the company's continuing commercialization of Renovacat. The issuance of this new patent highlights the innovation behind our TANF therapy platform and strengthens our competitive position. Before closing, I want to highlight one final point. During the first quarter, we announced that in our most recent open trading window, members of the management team and board purchased an aggregate of approximately 143,000 shares of Renovacat Rx stock and multiple open market purchases. This signals our confidence in our company and its future and underscores our enthusiasm for our company's long-term value proposition. In conclusion, I want to reaffirm our belief that the approximately 20 cancer centers that have used Renovacat as part of our TIGER PAC trial could also be potential customers after the planned completion of enrollment later this year. Building upon our recent success, we expect revenue from Renovacat to increase from the low six-figure range with sequential -over-quarter increases for the remainder of the year as we move along the path to becoming cash flow positive in the future. With that, I'll turn it over to Ron who will take us through some of the numbers.

Thank you, Sean. For the first quarter of 2025, Renovacat reported revenue of approximately 200,000 from commercial sales of its FDA-cleared Renovacat device, exceeding our initial expectations in our first quarter of revenue. Research and development expenses were $1.7 million for the quarter, up from $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2024. This $0.4 million increase was primarily driven by the following. Higher employee compensation due to cost of living adjustments, increased manufacturing and non-recurring engineering costs to support commercial scale-up, greater participation in conferences and trade shows, and other ongoing R&D activities. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were approximately $1.6 million for the quarter, an increase from $1.2 million in the prior year period. This $0.4 million rise was attributed to increase in personnel-related costs, professional and consulting fees to support commercializations, and other selling, general, and administrative activities. As of March 31, 2025, the company had $14.6 million in cash and cash equivalent. As of May 9, 2025, shares of our common stock outstanding totaled ,572,232. And now, I'll turn the call back to

the operator for Q&A.

I would like to turn the floor back over to Shambhagai for closing comments.

Thank you all again for participating in today's presentation.

We were very excited about the key strategic steps we've taken over the last year to build long-term value in our company. And we are beginning to see the tangible results from these efforts. We look forward to the rest of the year unfolding and

providing you with important updates on our progress. Have a great evening.

And ladies and gentlemen, with that, we'll conclude today's conference call and presentation. We do thank you for joining. Actually, one moment. We do have a few – we do have someone that has joined the question queue late. Let me join in Rafay Khalid from Ascendant Capital Markets. Please go ahead with your question.

Hi. Thank you. This is Rafay for Edward Wu, Ascendant Capital Markets. Can you talk about your plans for the Renovo Cath for international markets? Thanks,

Rafay, for the question. At this point, we don't have a current CE mark. We're looking into that for the future. We haven't disclosed publicly on timing of international markets, but obviously there's high demand for this type of technology given the unmet need in these types of tumors in both the European countries as well as a very large market in China, Korea, and Japan as well. So there's interest there. We've talked to positions, but we plan on really driving hard on the U.S. commercial market given the reimbursement landscape and then approaching outside the U.S. markets later, exploring that later this year, potentially

next year. Great. One more question. Do you have plans to increase – you talked about partnering with the potentially top 200 cancer centers. Would you use their sales force or would you use distributors to target

those

partners? So I have

– yeah, thank you for the question. I have stated publicly that we are talking to a handful of strategic partners. These are large companies that have sales forces that cater to the interventional oncologists who do the procedures, or the interventional radiologists. So we're looking at the – from a business perspective, if it makes more sense to hire a small sales force with a handful of reps to get to drive meaningful revenue for the company and or partner with a strategic partner that has an existing distribution channel. So we're exploring both currently and both are actually well on their way in terms of proving out which plan makes the most financial sense for the

company. Great. Thank you very much.

And once again, if you would like to ask a question, please press star and then one using a touch-turn telephone. To withdraw your questions, you may press star and two. Once again, that is star and then one.

Enjoy the question queue. And ladies and gentlemen,

at this time, I will – I would turn it back to Mr. Begay for any additional closing comments.

Thank you again for your time and participating and have a great evening. Thank you, everyone.

And that will conclude today's Cuffett's Calling presentation. Thank you for joining. You may now disconnect your lines.
