• Phase 3 trial results earn Rapid Communication status, underscoring the importance of the ROADS findings in clinical practice, with the trial authors endorsing GammaTile as a new standard-of-care option for newly diagnosed operable brain metastases1
• GammaTile demonstrated 98.7% local tumor control by 12 months, compared to 84.6% for standard-of-care, reducing the risk of surgical bed recurrence at 12 months by more than 90% (HR: 0.07, 95% CI: 0.01–0.56; p=0.012)1*
• GammaTile is estimated to reduce the combined risk of tumor recurrence or death by more than 50% compared to standard-of-care (HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.76, p=0.002)1
• The median overall survival for patients who received GammaTile was longer than that of patients who received standard-of-care: median overall survival was 42.5 months compared to 17.6 months with standard-of-care (HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.37-0.96, p=0.032)1
