BSD Medical Reports Initiation of Clinical Study by University of Utah School of Medicine, Huntsman Cancer Center, Using MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System to Treat Liver Tumors

BSD Medical Corporation (NASDAQ:BSDM) (Company or BSD) (www.BSDMedical.com), a leading provider of medical systems that utilize heat therapy to treat cancer, announced initiation of a clinical study by the University of Utah School of Medicine using BSD’s MicroThermX® Microwave Ablation System (MicroThermX) to treat liver tumors. The study is a prospective, non-randomized, single arm trial that involves 20 patients. The study objective is to clinically evaluate the size of the ablation zones produced in liver tissue by BSD’s patented Synchronous Wave Alignment™ technology developed for MicroThermX. Both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic liver tissue will be evaluated in this clinical study. The study is open for patient enrollment at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The principal investigator for the study is Ryan O’Hara, M.D., Assistant Professor of Radiology, Chief, Department of Interventional Radiology, Director of Interventional Oncology, University of Utah School of Medicine, Huntsman Cancer Hospital.

“This trial will allow us to study the effects of the Synchronous Wave Alignment technology in both cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic liver tissue, and to determine if there is a difference in how the energy is absorbed in the two types of tissue,” stated Dr. O’Hara.

The MicroThermX utilizes patented, innovative, Synchronous Wave Alignment technology developed by BSD to provide larger and more uniform zones of ablation across all tissue types during a single procedure. The University of Utah study will evaluate the ability of MicroThermX to create larger heating zones, using multiple antennas, than achieved by other available microwave ablation systems. Simultaneously utilizing multiple antennas gives physicians the ability to create a large, contiguous zone of necrosis with large margins. Larger, hotter heating zones may also decrease the occurrence of inadequate treatment of larger tumors.

About the MicroThermX Microwave Ablation System

The MicroThermX is a compact, mobile, state-of-the-art proprietary system that includes a microwave generator, single-patient-use disposable antennas and a thermistor-based temperature monitoring system. The innovative design of the MicroThermX is the first of its kind that allows delivery of higher power levels using a single generator.

The MicroThermX utilizes patented, innovative Synchronous Wave Alignment technology developed by BSD to provide a wide range of uniform ablation zones. The MicroThermX includes innovative, high-end disposables (SynchroWave antennas) that are used in each ablation treatment and will provide a significant ongoing revenue stream.

The soft tissue (tumor) ablation world market potential is estimated to exceed $2.3 billion. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the Company a 510(k) clearance to market the MicroThermX for ablation of soft tissue. BSD has also received CE Marking for the MicroThermX System, which allows BSD to market MicroThermX in Europe. CE Marking is also recognized in many countries outside the EU, providing BSD the ability to market MicroThermX to a number of international markets.
