NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq:URGN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing treatments to address unmet needs in uro-oncology, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 and provided an overview of the Company’s recent developments.

“Our team has continued to make significant progress on key initiatives during the second quarter, including the submission of the CMC modules to our rolling New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-101. We have locked the database on our Phase 3 OLYMPUS study and are on track to complete the submission in Q4 as we prepare for a potential approval and launch in the first half of 2020,” said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. “We are confident that our account-based commercial strategy will allow for seamless adoption and integration into urology practices following anticipated approval. We look forward to sharing further details about UGN-101 commercial preparations, ongoing clinical programs, and new developments at our Investor Day on September 24, 2019.”

Recent Highlights and Upcoming Milestones

• UGN-101 Clinical Development:
  • UroGen recently submitted the CMC modules to the rolling NDA for investigational agent UGN-101 for the treatment of patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG UTUC). Completion and acceptance of the Company’s rolling NDA submission remains on track for 2H 2019. If approved, the Company expects to launch UGN-101 in the United States in 1H 2020. It would be the first medicine approved for this unique, orphan indication.
  • At the 114^th American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting in Chicago, a presentation in the plenary session highlighted findings from a secondary analysis from the pivotal Phase 3 OLYMPUS trial which demonstrated the unmet need and potential for UGN-101 to transform the treatment paradigm for patients with LG UTUC.
  • The Company expects to announce updated Phase 3 data from the OLYMPUS trial at its upcoming Investor Day on September 24, 2019.
• Pipeline Advancement:
  • UGN-102:
    • The Company continues to enroll patients in its Phase 2b OPTIMA II clinical trial of investigational agent UGN-102 (mitomycin gel) for intravesical instillation as a first line-chemoablation agent in the treatment of patients with intermediate risk low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG NMIBC), a form of disease associated with a high risk of recurrence. UGN-102 has the potential to address an unmet need for the approximately 80,000 patients with intermediate risk LG NMIBC.
    • The OPTIMA II trial is enrolling ahead of schedule, and the company plans to present early complete response data on a portion of patients at its upcoming Investor Day on September 24, 2019.
    • If approved, UGN-102 would represent a novel advance in the treatment of recurrent non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, as there are currently no drugs approved by the FDA as first-line treatment for LG NMIBC.
  • UGN-201:
    • The Company is developing investigational agent UGN-201, a TLR7/8 immunomodulatory agent for the treatment of high-grade bladder disease. UroGen is exploring the utility of UGN-201 in the context of novel combinatorial immunotherapy for NMIBC.
• Commercial Preparations:
  • UroGen has made considerable progress to accelerate educational initiatives to drive awareness of the significant unmet need for patients with LG UTUC where current SOC is kidney removal. Little education and support have previously been available for patients and stakeholders and UroGen is in a unique position to lead in this space. These pre-commercial activities and infrastructure build out will help to reinforce rapid adoption and seamless integration of UGN-101 into urology practices following anticipated regulatory approval.
  • In conjunction with the Company’s educational efforts, UroGen is also engaging in a proactive market access strategy to define the cost burden to the system for LG UTUC via an HEOR study.
• Corporate:
  • Robert G. Uzzo, M.D., FACS, Chair of the Department of Surgical Oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, PA, has joined UroGen as a special advisor working closely with UroGen’s Medical Affairs team. Dr. Uzzo is well-known as a key opinion leader in the field of urological oncology and has made important clinical and scientific contributions to the field.
  • In the second quarter, UroGen entered into an agreement with Janssen Research & Development, LLC (Janssen) to conduct an early-stage feasibility evaluation in a therapeutic area of mutual interest. UroGen and Janssen will each conduct certain activities under the terms of the agreement.
  • The Company will host a live webcast in conjunction with its Investor Day taking place on Tuesday, September 24^th at 10:00AM Eastern Time in New York, NY.
