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.
