*** MEDIA ADVISORY ***

BOSTON, June 6, 2022 – TriSalus Life Sciences®, an interventional immunotherapy company on a mission to extend and improve the lives of patients with liver and pancreatic tumors, will present a series of events at the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 2022 Annual Scientific Meeting, held June 11-16, 2022, at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.

The TriSalus™ clinical leadership team will be on-site to discuss the company’s FDA-cleared TriNav® Infusion System as well as ongoing research with the interventional radiology (IR) community, including two presentations on new pre-clinical data that inform the company’s immunotherapeutic platform approach.

The company is pioneering an integrated platform approach that aims to overcome immunosuppression and delivery barriers by combining an investigational toll-like receptor 9 agonist, SD-101, with innovative drug delivery technology. The TriNav® Infusion System utilizes the Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery™ (PEDD™) method of administration with SmartValve™ to overcome intratumoral pressure and improve delivery of therapeutic agents during outpatient interventional radiology procedures.

Additional activities, including a Monday evening reception, are highlighted below.

About TriSalus Life Sciences
TriSalus Life Sciences is an immunotherapy company on a mission to extend and improve the lives of patients living with liver and pancreatic tumors. By integrating an immunotherapeutic with innovative drug delivery technologies, TriSalus’ platform seeks to address two of the most significant barriers that limit the effectiveness of current treatments for liver and pancreatic tumors: immunosuppression and high intratumoral pressure.

The company is studying the ability of SD-101, a potentially first-in-class, investigative TLR9 agonist, to reactivate the immune system within the liver and pancreas to enable more durable responses to other immunotherapeutics (e.g., checkpoint inhibitors) and improve patient outcomes. The platform, which leverages TriSalus’ proprietary Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery™ (PEDD™) method of administration, modulates pressure and flow within blood vessels to improve the amount of therapy delivered to the tumor. While meaningful progress in these difficult-to-treat diseases will not be easy, TriSalus is focused on advancing science and technological innovation to transform outcomes for patients.
