UroGen Pharma Reports Highest Revenue Quarter and Significant Full Year 2022 Growth and Recent Corporate Developments
-
Reported JELMYTO® full year 2022 net product revenues of
$64.4 million , an increase of 34% from full year 2021 - Completed enrollment of the ENVISION Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial for UGN-102 for LG-IR-NMIBC
- Topline data readout from ATLAS clinical study and Complete Response from ENVISION pivotal study expected to be reported mid-year 2023
“I’m proud of our progress in 2022 and encouraged by our pipeline advancement and expanded access to JELMYTO as we work to fundamentally change the treatment paradigm of urologic cancers,” said
Business Highlights:
UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution:
- Announced full enrollment in Phase 3 ENVISION pivotal study of UGN-102 for the treatment of LG-IR-NMIBC, which targeted enrollment of ~220 patients across 90 sites. Assuming positive findings, UroGen anticipates submitting an NDA for UGN-102 in 2024. Topline results from the primary endpoint evaluating the complete response rate at 3-months after first instillation are expected mid-year 2023.
- Topline data from the ATLAS trial, the predecessor to ENVISION, is expected mid-year 2023 and will evaluate complete response, duration of response and safety from ~280 patients that completed the trial.
-
Shared new long-term follow up data from the Phase 2b OPTIMA II study at the Annual
Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) Meeting demonstrating a median DOR of 24.4 months (10.1 to 30.7 months) with UGN-102 in 15 of 25 evaluable patients. - Announced preliminary results of a study to assess the feasibility of home instillation of UGN-102. In this study, UGN-102 was suitable to administer at home by a visiting nurse under the supervision of a treating physician and resulted in 75% (n=8) of patients achieving a complete response, defined as no detectable disease 3 months after starting treatment.
JELMYTO® (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution in low-grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (LG-UTUC):
-
JELMYTO® generated net product revenues of
$18.1 million and$64.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectfully, compared to$16.2 million and$48.0 million for the same periods in 2021. -
Activated sites on
March 1, 2023 were 983, compared to 930 onNovember 1, 2022 , while repeat accounts onMarch 1, 2023 were 214, compared to 177 onNovember 1, 2022 . - Highlighted results from the first and largest post-commercial utilization review of JELMYTO published in Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations. The study evaluated 132 patients from 15 high-volume academic and community centers and describes several uses of JELMYTO that differ from the pivotal OLYMPUS trial, including for the treatment of large tumors (>3cm in 15% of cases), high grade tumors (9% of cases), ureteral tumors (35% of cases), and as a valuable multimodal adjunct following complete endoscopic ablation. JELMYTO is not approved for the treatment of high-grade upper tract urothelial cancer.
-
Shared new long-term follow up data from the OLYMPUS registration trial at the Annual
Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO) Meeting demonstrating a median durability of response (DOR) of 28.9 months (14.6 to 47.6 months) with JELMYTO in 16 of 23 evaluable patients. -
Retrospective, multi-center study of 32 patients evaluating the safety of antegrade administration of JELMYTO was published in
The British Journal of Urology International showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile for JELMYTO when administered via nephrostomy tube. At a median follow-up of 15 months following initiation of induction therapy, ureteral stenosis occurred in only three (9%) patients, with none having recurrent stenosis at a median 16-month follow-up.

Utilizing the RTGel™ technology platform, UroGen’s proprietary sustained release, hydrogel-based formulation, Jelmyto is designed to enable longer exposure of urinary tract tissue to mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means. Jelmyto is delivered to patients using standard ureteral catheters or nephrostomy tube. The
APPROVED USE FOR JELMYTO
JELMYTO® is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with a type of cancer of the lining of the upper urinary tract including the kidney called low- grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (LG-UTUC).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
You should not receive JELMYTO if you have a hole or tear (perforation) of your bladder or upper urinary tract.
Before receiving JELMYTO, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. JELMYTO can harm your unborn baby. You should not become pregnant during treatment with JELMYTO. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant during treatment with JELMYTO. Females who are able to become pregnant: You should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with JELMYTO and for 6 months after the last dose. Males being treated with JELMYTO: If you have a female partner who is able to become pregnant, you should use effective birth control (contraception) during treatment with JELMYTO and for 3 months after the last dose.
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known if JELMYTO passes into your breast milk. Do not breastfeed during treatment with JELMYTO and for 1 week after the last dose.
- Tell your healthcare provider if you take water pills (diuretic).
How will I receive JELMYTO?
- Your healthcare provider will tell you to take a medicine called sodium bicarbonate before each JELMYTO treatment.
- You will receive your JELMYTO dose from your healthcare provider 1 time a week for 6 weeks. It is important that you receive all 6 doses of JELMYTO according to your healthcare provider’s instructions. If you miss any appointments, call your healthcare provider as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. Your healthcare provider may recommend up to an additional 11 monthly doses.
- JELMYTO is given to your kidney through a tube called a catheter.

- Clothing that comes in contact with urine should be washed right away and washed separately from other clothing.
JELMYTO may cause serious side effects, including:
- Swelling and narrowing of the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder (ureteric obstruction). If you develop swelling and narrowing, and to protect your kidney from damage, your healthcare provider may recommend the placement of a small plastic tube (stent) in the ureter to help the kidney drain. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop side pain or fever during treatment with JELMYTO.
- Bone marrow problems. JELMYTO can affect your bone marrow and can cause a decrease in your white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet counts. Your healthcare provider will do blood tests prior to each treatment to check your blood cell counts during treatment with JELMYTO. Your healthcare provider may need to temporarily or permanently stop JELMYTO if you develop bone marrow problems during treatment with JELMYTO.
- The most common side effects of JELMYTO include: urinary tract infection, blood in your urine, side pain, nausea, trouble with urination, kidney problems, vomiting, tiredness, stomach (abdomen) pain.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1‑800‑FDA‑1088. You may also report side effects to

About UGN-102
UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution is an investigational drug formulation of mitomycin in Phase 3 development for the treatment of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC. Utilizing the RTGelTM Technology Platform, UroGen’s proprietary 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.

About the Phase 3 ENVISION Trial
The Phase 3 ENVISION trial is a single-arm, multinational, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-102 (mitomycin) as primary chemoablative therapy in patients with low-grade, intermediate-risk NMIBC. The Phase 3 ENVISION trial completed target enrollment of 220 patients across 90 sites. Study participants will receive six once-weekly intravesical instillations of UGN-102. The planned primary endpoint will evaluate the complete response rate at three months after the first installation, and the key secondary endpoint will evaluate durability over time in patients who achieve complete response at the three-month assessment. Based on discussions with the FDA, and assuming positive findings, UroGen anticipates submitting an NDA for UGN-102 in 2024. Learn more about the Phase 3 ENVISION trial at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05243550)
