UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing innovative non-surgical treatments for urological conditions, particularly uro-oncology. The company is headquartered in Ra’anana, Israel, with its U.S. headquarters in New York.

UroGen’s core technology, RTGel™, is a proprietary sustained-release, hydrogel-based platform designed to improve drug delivery and efficacy. By prolonging the exposure of the urinary tract tissue to medications, RTGel™ aims to make local therapies more effective. This innovative approach addresses significant unmet needs in the field of urology.

The company’s lead product candidates include Mitogel™ (mitomycin urothelial gel) and Vesigel™ (mitomycin intravesical gel). Both products target non-surgical tumor ablation in non-muscle invasive urothelial cancers. Mitogel™ is specifically designed to treat low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma, while Vesigel™ aims to treat bladder cancer.

Additionally, UroGen's commercial product, Jelmyto (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution, has shown promise in treating patients. Their investigational candidate, UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, is in development for bladder cancer treatment.

UroGen is also advancing its immuno-uro-oncology pipeline with UGN-301 (zalifrelimab), an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, which is being explored for both monotherapy and combination therapy.

Through strategic partnerships, cutting-edge research, and a commitment to addressing complex medical challenges, UroGen Pharma continues to push the boundaries in the treatment of urothelial diseases.

Rhea-AI Summary

UroGen Pharma (Nasdaq: URGN) has released significant findings from the largest post-commercialization study of JELMYTO (mitomycin), showing a 68% recurrence-free survival rate at three years in patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC).

The study, involving 56 patients from 15 high-volume centers, demonstrated that recurrence-free survival was not affected by factors such as tumor size, location, number of tumors, or administration route. The median follow-up period was 23.5 months.

Notably, patients receiving maintenance treatment showed better recurrence-free survival, although this finding requires further research as only 15 patients received maintenance therapy. The study's limitations include its retrospective design, lack of a control group, and absence of centralized pathology review.

Dr. Solomon L. Woldu from UT Southwestern Medical Center highlighted the treatment's broad applicability, while Dr. Mark Schoenberg, UroGen's Chief Medical Officer, emphasized the promising long-term potential of JELMYTO in managing this challenging disease.
