Current report
UGN-102, if approved, may be an alternative to the current standard of care for low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC, trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (“TURBT”). We estimate that approximately 68% of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC patients have two or more recurrences, with approximately 23% having five or more recurrences. Repeated TURBT procedures to treat these recurrences can impact patients’ physical health and quality of life. We estimate that around 35% of patients will experience an adverse event within 90 days of undergoing a TURBT, and patients who have had two to four procedures have an estimated 14% greater risk of death than patients who have only had one procedure.
Current report
On June 13, 2024, we announced positive secondary endpoint DOR data from the Phase 3 ENVISION trial investigating UGN-102 for intravesical solution in patients with low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC.
Current report
In the ENVISION trial, the 12-month DOR data by Kaplan-Meier estimate for patients who achieved a CR at three months after the first instillation of UGN-102 was 82.3% (95% CI, 75.9%, 87.1%). The ENVISION trial met its primary endpoint with patients having a 79.6% (73.9%, 84.5%) CR rate at three months after the first instillation of UGN-102. Among the patients in the ENVISION trial who achieved a CR at three months, 76.4% (69.8%, 82.3%) maintained a CR at 12 months. Among all 240 patients enrolled in the ENVISION trial, 60.8% (54.3%, 67.0%) were in CR at 12 months. In the ENVISION trial, DOR Kaplan-Meier estimates at 15 (n=43) and 18 (n=9) months were both 80.9% (95% CI, 73.9%, 86.2%). The ENVISION trial demonstrated a similar safety profile to that observed in the OPTIMA II and ATLAS trials, with treatment-emergent adverse events typically mild-to-moderate in severity.
Current report
Research and development expenses were $15.4 million and $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of $3.8 million is primarily attributable to higher costs related to manufacturing of UGN-102 which are recognized within research and development expenses prior to our product candidates receiving FDA approval as well as research and development expenses in connection with our initiation of a Phase 3 study for UGN-103, partially offset by lower UGN-102 clinical trial costs and costs related to the research into ingredient scale-up and production efficiency forJelmyto.
Current report
General andadministrative expenses were $11.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.6 million is primarily attributable tohigher compensation expenses, legal and compliance activities, pre-commercialization marketing communication expenses related to UGN-102, third-party advisory services, and ongoing managed services.

Underwritten Public Offering
Current report
On June 17, 2024, we entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriters, relating to the issuance and sale in a public offering of 5,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company for $17.50 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 1,142,857 ordinary shares of the Company for $17.499 per pre-funded warrant. The offering closed on June 20, 2024. The gross proceeds from this closing of the offering were $107.5 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $7.3 million. Each pre-funded warrant has an exercise price of $0.001 per ordinary share, subject to customary adjustments, is exercisable at any time and will not expire until exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants may not be exercised if the aggregate number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by the holder thereof immediately following such exercise would exceed a specified beneficial ownership limitation. In addition, the Underwriters were granted an option exercisable for 30 days, to purchase up to 921,428 additional shares at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 18, 2024, we completed the closing of the sale of 921,428 additional shares in the offering following the exercise in full of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, which resulted in additional gross proceeds of $16.1 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $1.0 million.
Current report
On June 26, 2024, we entered into a Separation Agreement with Jeff Bova, the Company’s former Chief Commercial Officer, which sets forth the terms of Mr. Bova's termination of employment, effective as of September 30, 2024. The arrangement includes cash severance, a pro rata portion of the target annual bonus for calendar year 2024, and partial acceleration of share-based compensation. We recognized $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 in relation to this arrangement.

Previous wording
We estimate that the annual treatable patient population of low-grade UTUC in the United States is approximately 6,000 to 7,000 and the annual treatable population of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is approximately 80,000.
Current wording
If approved, UGN-102 may become the first FDA-approved medicine for low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC.** **We estimate that the annual treatable patient population of low-grade UTUC in the United States is approximately 6,000 to 7,000 and the annual treatable population of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is approximately 82,000, of which approximately 23,000 are estimated to be newly diagnosed and 59,000 are estimated to be recurrent patients. We estimate that the total addressable market opportunity for UGN-102 in low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is potentially over $5.0 billion, assuming an expected pricing range of $16,000 to $19,000 per dose.

These characteristics ofRTGel enable sustained release of mitomycin in the urinary tract for bothJelmyto and UGN-102. Further,RTGel may be particularly effective in the bladder and upper urinary tract where tumor visibility and access are challenging, and where there exists a significant amount of urine flow and voiding. We believe that these characteristics ofRTGel may prove useful for the local delivery of active drugs to other bodily cavities in addition to the bladder and upper urinary tract.

On April 15, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved our NDA forJelmyto (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution, formerly known as UGN-101, for the treatment of adult patients with low-grade UTUC.Jelmyto consists of mitomycin, an established chemotherapy, and sterile hydrogel, using our proprietary sustained releaseRTGel technology. It has been designed to prolong exposure of urinary tract tissue to mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means. New product exclusivity forJelmyto expired on April 15, 2023, however, Orphan Drug exclusivity extends until April 15, 2027. Additionally, the main patents that protectJelmyto in the United States are set to expire in January 2031. These patents were listed in the FDA's Orange Book (Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations).

Previous wording
Low-grade UTUC is a rare cancer that develops in the lining of the upper urinary tract, ureters and kidneys. In the United States, there are approximately 6,000 - 7,000 new or recurrent low-grade UTUC patients annually. It is a challenging condition to treat due to the complex anatomy of the urinary tract system. Prior toJelmyto, the standard of care included endoscopic resection(s) and radical nephroureterectomy, the latter involving the removal of the renal pelvis, kidney, ureter and bladder cuff. Treatment is further complicated by the fact that low-grade UTUC is most commonly diagnosed in patients over 70 years of age, who may already have compromised kidney function and may suffer further complications as a result of a major surgery. We are focused on changing the way urothelial cancers are treated, an area in which there has been no significant advancements in recent years.Jelmyto* *is the first drug therapy of its kind, providing an alternative to endoscopic resection(s) and/or radical nephroureterectomy.

In December 2022, we presented new data from a follow up study to the OLYMPUS trial designed to obtain long‐term data onJelmyto. Based on data available for 16 of the 23 patients who had remained in CR at the end of the OLYMPUS study, the median duration of response in that subset of patients was 28.9 months. Thirteen patients remained in CR, two patients had recurrence of low grade‐UTUC on the same side as treated in OLYMPUS, and one patient underwent RNU due to ureteral stricture without evidence of UTUC at the time of surgery. No patient had progressed to high‐grade disease.

In 2024, we released data from a post-hoc analysis of the OLYMPUS trial assessing the long-term effects in treating low grade-UTUC withJelmyto. Of the 71 patients who enrolled in OLYMPUS, 41 achieved a CR and their health outcomes were tracked for up to 12 months. 20 of these patients remaining in CR enrolled in a 5-year rollover study. All 41 patients with an initial CR indicated a promising median duration of response of 47.8 months, based on a median follow-up of 28.1 months. In the 5-year rollover trial, 75% (N=15) showed no disease recurrence, indicating potential for extended disease-free periods.

In October 2020, a Medicare C-Code was issued forJelmyto. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") established a permanent and product-specific J-code forJelmyto that took effect on January 1, 2021 and replaced the C-Code. CMS has grantedJelmyto a New Technology APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification), effective from October 1, 2023. We have also launched a registry to capture data and evaluate real world outcomes in patients with low-grade UTUC that have been or will be treated withJelmyto. The purpose of the registry is to study the use ofJelmyto in clinical practice in the United States and address specific clinical questions.

In the first three fiscal years beginning after the initiation of our commercial launch ofJelmytoin June 2020, we have experienced a moderate decline in revenue during the third quarter from the preceding quarter. We believe this result is primarily attributable to the nature of low-grade disease, which does not require immediate treatment and therefore we believe there is an impact in the summer months. However, it is too early to say with confidence whether this seasonality trend will continue in future periods. Moreover, our futureJelmytorevenue will be impacted by various factors and we expect ourJelmyto revenue to fluctuate quarter-to-quarter for the foreseeable future.

UGN-102 is administered locally using the standard practice of intravesical instillation directly into the bladder via a catheter. The instillation into the bladder is expected to take place in a physician’s office as a non-operative outpatient treatment, in comparison with trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor ("TURBT") or similar surgical procedures, which are operations often conducted under general anesthesia and may require an overnight stay. Complete surgical tumor removal often has limited success due to the inability to properly identify, reach and resect all tumors. We believe that an effective chemoablation agent can potentially provide better eradication of tumors irrespective of the detectability and location of the tumors. In addition, by reducing the need for surgery, patients may avoid potential complications associated with surgery and anesthesia.

In October 2021, we reported final data from the Phase 2b OPTIMA II trial. The single-arm, open label trial completed enrollment of 63 patients at clinical sites across the United States and Israel in September 2019. Patients were treated with six weekly instillations of UGN-102 and underwent assessment of CR (the primary endpoint) four to six weeks following the last instillation; 65%, or 41 out of 63 patients, treated with UGN-102 achieved a CR three months after the start of therapy. In this subset of patients, 39 (95%), 30 (73%), and 25 (61%) remained disease-free at six, nine, and 12 months after treatment initiation, respectively. The probability of durable response nine months after CR (12 months after treatment initiation) was estimated to be 72.5% by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Thirteen patients had documented recurrences. Fifty-seven of 63 (90%) patients completed all six instillations of UGN-102 according to the study protocol. Median duration of response was not reached. The most common adverse events, greater than 10%, were most often reported as mild to moderate in severity and include dysuria, hematuria, urinary frequency, fatigue, urgency and urinary tract infection. The final data was published online in The Journal of Urology in October 2021 and was included in the January 2022 print edition.

We initiated our Phase 3 ATLAS trial in December 2020 and until November 2021, were enrolling patients in this trial comparing UGN-102 with or without TURBT to standard of care, TURBT. In parallel, we continued to engage in discussions with the FDA and based on this dialogue, we designed a trial in order to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of UGN-102. This Phase 3 ENVISION trial is a single-arm, multinational, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-102 as primary chemoablative therapy in patients with low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC. The design of the Phase 3 ENVISION trial is similar to our Phase 2 OPTIMA II trial in that the patient population has similar clinical characteristics, receives the same investigational treatment regimen and undergoes similar efficacy and safety assessments and qualitative follow-up. Study participants receive six once-weekly intravesical instillations of UGN-102. The primary endpoint is CR rate at three months after the first instillation, and the key secondary endpoint is durability of response in patients who achieve CR at the three-month assessment.

On July 27, 2023, we announced topline data from our Phase 3 trials, ATLAS and ENVISION. In the ATLAS trial, UGN-102 met its primary endpoint of disease-free survival, reducing risk of recurrence, progression, or death by 55%. Results of the ATLAS trial also showed a 64.8% CR rate at three months for patients who only received UGN-102, compared to a 63.6% CR rate at three months for patients who only received a TURBT. The ENVISION trial met its primary endpoint by demonstrating that patients treated with UGN-102 had a 79.2% rate of CR at three-months following the initial treatment. Additional data evaluating the secondary endpoint of duration of response from ENVISION is anticipated in the second quarter of 2024. In both trials, the safety profile of UGN-102 was acceptable, with a safety profile comparable to that observed in previous clinical trials of UGN-102.

We also initiated a Phase 3b study with the objective of demonstrating whether UGN-102 can be administered at home by a qualified home health professional, avoiding the need for repeated visits to a healthcare setting for instillation. As per the study design, patients in this study received six once-weekly intravesical instillations of UGN-102 with the initial treatment visit occurring at the investigative site and instillation performed by a qualified physician. Treatment visits two to six took place at the patient's home and instillations were performed by a properly trained and qualified home health professional. The primary endpoints of the study include safety and tolerability, discontinuations from at home study treatment and feedback from patients, home health professionals and investigators via standardized questionnaires. The study completed enrollment with a total of eight patients across four centers and all study visits for these enrolled patients have been completed. Preliminary results were reported through a press release in February 2023, finding that UGN-102 was suitable to administer at home by a visiting nurse under the supervision of a treating physician and resulted in 75% of patients achieving a CR, defined as no detectable disease three months after starting treatment. Patients, nurses and investigators also completed home instillation feasibility questionnaires. These standardized feasibility questionnaires highlighted that all eight patients preferred at-home to in-office treatment, and five of six patients recommended UGN-102 home instillation instead of TURBT. Home instillation was reported as feasible for visiting nurses, and three of four investigators considered at-home treatment “not different” than in-office treatment.

In October 2023 we announced our agreement with the FDA on plans for submission of an NDA for UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution. The FDA indicated that the current clinical development plan for UGN-102, which includes evaluation of duration of CR at 12 months from the pivotal ENVISION trial, will support submission of an NDA for the treatment of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC. The FDA indicated that it may seek the advice of the Oncology Drug Advisory Committee as part of the NDA review process. The FDA also agreed that the UGN-102 NDA can utilize a rolling review, allowing for early submission of the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls ("CMC") sections of the NDA, which we submitted in January 2024. Based on our agreement with the FDA, we expect to complete the submission of the rolling NDA for UGN-102 in the third quarter of 2024.
Current wording
In October 2023 we announced our agreement with the FDA on plans for submission of an NDA for UGN-102 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution. The FDA indicated that the current clinical development plan for UGN-102, which includes evaluation of duration of response 12 months after 3-month CR from the pivotal ENVISION trial, will support submission of an NDA for the treatment of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC. The FDA indicated that it may seek the advice of the Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee as part of the NDA review process. The FDA also agreed that the UGN-102 NDA can utilize a rolling review, allowing for early submission of the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls ("CMC") sections of the NDA, which we submitted in January 2024. Based on our agreement with the FDA, we expect to complete the submission of the rolling NDA for UGN-102 in the third quarter of 2024, with a potential FDA acceptance in the fourth quarter of 2024 and potential FDA approval in the first quarter of 2025 (assuming priority review) or the second quarter of 2025 (assuming standard review).

In January 2024 we entered into a licensing and supply agreement with medac Gesellschaft für klinische Spezialpräparate m.b.H. (“medac”) to develop UGN-103 and UGN-104 which are intended to be a next-generation formulation of UGN-102 andJelmyto, respectively, that combine medac’s proprietary 80 mg mitomycin formulation with ourRTGel technology, which we believe will provide advantages related to production, cost, supply and product convenience. We are preparing to initiate clinical endpoint studies to support NDAs for UGN-103 and UGN-104 in low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC and low grade-UTUC, respectively. In April, we announced that the FDA has accepted our Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") for UGN-103. We anticipate dosing patients in the planned Phase 3 trial of UGN-103 by the end of this year and initiating a Phase 3 trial of UGN-104 shortly thereafter.

The first patients are expected to be dosed in the third quarter of 2024, with full enrollment anticipated by the first half of 2025. An NDA filing is projected for the first half of 2026, followed by a standard review period and potential approval and, if approved, the commercial launch in the first half of 2027. We also plan to initiate a Phase 3 trial of UGN-104 in low-grade UTUC early next year.
Previous wording
The first combination we are investigating clinically involves the sequential use of UGN-201 (imiquimod), a toll like receptor 7 ("TLR 7") agonist, and UGN-301 in high-grade NMIBC. UGN-201 is a liquid formulation of imiquimod for intravesical administration that has been optimized for delivery in the urinary tract. The second combination we are investigating clinically involves the sequential administration of gemcitabine and UGN-301 to the bladder in high-grade NMIBC. Gemcitabine is a chemotherapy that is used intravesically to treat high grade NMIBC where it is administered as a liquid formulation. We believe these two combinations could elicit both an innate and adaptive immune response, which may translate into a long-lasting acquired immune response, and potentially represent a valid post-TURBT adjuvant treatment of high-grade NMIBC. UGN-301 is delivered using our proprietaryRTGel technology, which has been designed to significantly improve the effectiveness of certain intravesical therapy. We believe that these combinations make local therapy a potentially more effective treatment option while minimizing systemic exposure and potential side effects.

In March 2022, we announced FDA clearance of our IND to begin a novel Phase 1 clinical study of UGN-301 in patients with recurrent NMIBC. The novel study design utilizes a Master Protocol that we believe is a more efficient and streamlined approach to development. It will provide more flexibility to add study arms as the trial progresses and is expected to increase efficiency and potentially reduce costs. We expect the Master Protocol will allow us to more quickly evaluate safety, tolerability and dosing of UGN-301 in combination with additional immunomodulators and chemotherapies, with the goal of developing optimized treatment regimens for patients. The multi-arm Phase 1 study, which is expected to support the development of UGN-301 in high-grade NMIBC, was initiated in April 2022 and is actively enrolling. We expect safety and tolerability data from this Phase 1 study in mid-2024.
