UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN) has announced promising initial results from a study on UGN-102, an investigational treatment for low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). In a feasibility study, 75% of patients (6 of 8) achieved a complete response three months post-treatment. The study indicates the potential for at-home administration of UGN-102, which may alleviate patient burdens associated with frequent clinical visits. The favorable outcomes support UroGen’s ongoing Phase 3 ENVISION trial for UGN-102, with plans to submit a New Drug Application in 2024, potentially transforming treatment options for bladder cancer patients.

UroGen Pharma (NASDAQ: URGN) highlights findings from a significant study involving JELMYTO^® (mitomycin), focusing on its real-world application for treating low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC). Analyzed data from 132 patients across 15 centers showcase usage trends differing from the pivotal Olympus study, with a noted 70% complete response rate for tumors <1cm. The study suggests reduced ureteric stenosis rates (23% vs. 44% in Olympus) through antegrade administration. A uTRACT Registry is underway to further examine JELMYTO's potential outcomes.

UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN) has fully enrolled the Phase 3 ENVISION study for UGN-102, an investigational treatment for low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). The study aims to validate the efficacy of UGN-102 as a non-surgical primary therapeutic option, targeting 220 patients across 90 sites. If findings are positive, UroGen plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-102 in 2024. This innovative therapy could significantly reduce the need for repeated surgeries and anesthesia, improving the treatment approach for bladder cancer patients.

UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN) presented data from the OPTIMA II study at the 23rd Annual Society of Urological Oncology Meeting in San Diego, indicating a median duration of response (DOR) of 24.4 months for its investigational drug UGN-102 in treating low-grade, intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). This study involved 15 patients, with 7 maintaining complete response (CR). The innovative UGN-102 is seen as a non-surgical treatment alternative, addressing the high recurrence rates typical with current options.

UroGen Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: URGN) announced at the Society of Urologic Oncology Meeting that its JELMYTO (mitomycin) treatment for low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma (LG-UTUC) demonstrated a median durability of response of 28.9 months in a rollover study. Of 16 patients who maintained a complete response, 13 remained disease-free, while two experienced recurrence, and one underwent nephroureterectomy. JELMYTO is positioned as a primary kidney-sparing treatment for LG-UTUC, with expectations for long-term recurrence-free survival.

UroGen Pharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: URGN) reported outcomes from a multi-center study of 32 patients undergoing antegrade administration of JELMYTO for upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The study, published in The British Journal of Urology International, revealed a 9% incidence of ureteral stenosis and a 10% discontinuation rate. Remarkably, all stenosis cases were managed without recurrence. A significant 59% of patients showed no evidence of disease at the primary disease evaluation after a median follow-up of 15 months. Overall, the study suggests a favorable safety profile for JELMYTO, emphasizing its outpatient advantages.
