Business Wire
UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated
to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat
urothelial and specialty cancers, today announced that new data on
UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, JELMYTO (mitomycin)
for pyelocalyceal solution, and UGN-301(zalifrelimab intravesical
solution) will be presented at the Society of Urologic Oncology
(SUO) 2024 annual meeting being held in Dallas, Texas from December
4 – 6.
"We are excited that the SUO has accepted data highlighting the
potential of our investigational treatment, UGN-102, in development
for patients with low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive
bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC), as well as the ongoing clinical value
of JELMYTO for treating low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma
(LG-UTUC)," said Mark Schoenberg, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of
UroGen. "These presentations underscore our ongoing commitment to
addressing the critical unmet needs of patients with urothelial
cancers, as well as our mission to provide innovative treatment
options that seek to improve both outcomes and quality of life for
those battling these challenging conditions."

About UGN-102
UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution is an innovative
drug formulation of mitomycin, currently in Phase 3 development for
the treatment of LG-IR-NMIBC. Utilizing UroGen’s proprietary RTGel®
technology, a sustained release, hydrogel-based formulation,
UGN-102 is designed to enable longer exposure of bladder tissue to
mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical
means. UGN-102 is delivered to patients using a standard urinary
catheter in an outpatient setting by a trained healthcare
professional. UroGen completed the NDA submission in August, ahead
of schedule. The FDA accepted the NDA for UGN-102 and assigned a
PDUFA goal date of June 13, 2025.
About JELMYTO
JELMYTO® (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution is a
mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel containing 4 mg mitomycin
per mL gel indicated for the treatment of adult patients with
LG-UTUC. It is recommended for primary treatment of biopsy-proven
LG-UTUC in patients deemed appropriate candidates for renal-sparing
therapy. JELMYTO is a viscous liquid when cooled and becomes a
semi-solid gel at body temperature. The drug slowly dissolves over
four to six hours after instillation and is removed from the
urinary tract by normal urine flow and voiding. It is approved for
administration in a retrograde manner via ureteral catheter or
antegrade through nephrostomy tube. The delivery system allows the
initial liquid to coat and conform to the upper urinary tract
anatomy. The eventual semisolid gel allows for chemoablative
therapy to remain in the collecting system for four to six hours
without immediately being diluted or washed away by urine flow.
UGN-301
UGN-301 is our investigational, in-licensed, anti-CTLA-4
monoclonal antibody (zalifrelimab), prepared with reverse-thermal
hydrogel for intravesical administration into the bladder.
Intravesical administration of UGN-301 is designed to increase drug
concentrations in the bladder without significant systemic
exposure, potentially diminishing the systemic toxicity associated
with CTLA-4 blockade. UroGen is evaluating UGN-301 as combination
therapy for the intravesical treatment of high-grade NMIBC.
About UroGen Pharma Ltd.
UroGen is a biotech company dedicated to developing and
commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and
specialty cancers because patients deserve better options. UroGen
has developed RTGel® reverse-thermal hydrogel, a proprietary
sustained-release, hydrogel-based platform technology that has the
potential to improve the therapeutic profiles of existing drugs.
UroGen’s sustained release technology is designed to enable longer
exposure of the urinary tract tissue to medications, making local
therapy a potentially more effective treatment option. Our first
product to treat LG-UTUC and investigational treatment UGN-102
(mitomycin) for intravesical solution for patients with low-grade
non-muscle invasive bladder cancer are designed to ablate tumors by
non-surgical means. UroGen is headquartered in Princeton, NJ with
operations in Israel. Visit www.urogen.com to learn more or follow
