Current report
Our IND application for a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care (“SOC”) for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (“mCRC”) was cleared by the FDA in December 2024. The Phase 2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HEPZATO in combination with trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab compared to trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab alone in patients with liver-dominant mCRC receiving third-line treatment. Approximately 90 patients will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial. The study will take place at more than 20 sites across the United States and Europe, with patient enrollment expected to begin in the second half of 2025. The trial’s primary endpoint, hepatic progression-free survival (“hPFS”), is anticipated to read out by the end of 2027, while overall survival (“OS”), a secondary endpoint, is expected in 2028. We estimate that the total addressable market (“TAM”) for liver-dominant mCRC receiving third-line treatment is between 6,000 and 10,000 patients annually in the United States. This market includes patients who present with significant liver disease burden, with liver-dominant status determined through radiological and clinical criteria. By targeting this patient population, we aim to provide a novel treatment option for those with limited therapeutic alternatives.
Current report
On April 28, 2025, we announced our IND application clearance by the FDA for the Phase 2 clinical trial of HEPZATO in liver-dominant metastatic breast cancer (“mBC”). The Phase 2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HEPZATO in combination with SOC versus SOC alone in patients with liver-dominant HER2-negative mBC following the failure of previous treatments. The SOC options will be the physician’s choice of eribulin, vinorelbine or capecitabine. We expect approximately 90 patients will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial. The study will take place at more than 20 sites across the United States and Europe, with patient enrollment expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025. The trial’s primary endpoint, hPFS, is anticipated to read out by the end of 2028, while results for OS, a secondary endpoint, is expected in 2029.
Current report
We estimate that approximately 7,000 patients annually in the United States are affected by HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer with liver metastases and are candidates for third line treatment. This population includes patients with a significant burden of liver metastases, which are likely to be the primary cause of mortality. By focusing on this demographic, we intend to offer a novel therapeutic option to those patients with limited treatment alternatives.
Current report
We expense research and development costs as they are incurred. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future relating to the costs required to complete these Phase 2 clinical trials.
Current report
Our expected research and development expenses will consist primarily of:
Current report
•salaries and related overhead expenses for personnel in research and development functions, including stock-based compensation;
Current report
•fees paid to trial sites, consultants, and the contract research organization (CRO) for the clinical trials, along with other related clinical trial fees, including, but not limited to, clinical trial database management, clinical trial material management and statistical compilation and analysis; and
Current report
•costs related to compliance with regulatory requirements.
Current report
At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the exact nature, timing and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary. Non-refundable advance payments that are made for future research and development activities are recorded as prepaid expenses. The prepaid amounts are expensed as the services are performed, or when it is no longer expected that the services will be rendered.

Previous report
Our future results are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. We have operated at a loss for our entire history and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or maintain profitability. We have historically funded our operations primarily with proceeds from sales of common stock, warrants and pre-funded warrants for the purchase of common stock, sales of preferred stock, proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt and borrowings under loan and security agreements.

Funding Requirements
Previous report
If there is a substantial delay in the activation of additional sites to administer HEPZATO and/or the revenue generated from HEPZATO and CHEMOSAT is less than anticipated, we expect to need to raise additional capital under structures available to us, including debt and/or equity offerings, which may not be on terms favorable to us. In a substantially delayed site activation scenario, we will not have sufficient funds to meet our obligations within twelve months from the issuance date of these condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, there is uncertainty regarding our ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate our business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Previous report
Debt financing and equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, or other similar arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs for product candidates and/or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us, any of which may reduce the value of our common stock. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our product candidates to third parties even if we would otherwise prefer to develop and market such product candidates ourselves.

At-the-Market Offering
Previous report
We previously entered into a Controlled Equity Offering SM Sales Agreement (“ATM Sales Agreement”), with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell, at our sole discretion through the Sales Agent, shares of our common stock from time to time. Pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the “ATM Prospectus Supplement”), filed with the SEC on February 27, 2023, we could sell shares of common stock under the ATM Sales Agreement up to an aggregate of $17.0 million. To date, we have sold approximately $4.0 million of our common stock, prior to issuance costs, under the ATM Sales Agreement. No sales were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Previous report
The registration statement the ATM Prospectus Supplement was a part of, expired on July 1, 2024 and we can no longer make sales under the ATM Prospectus Supplement.

Avenue Loan Agreement
Previous report
On August 6, 2021, we entered into the Avenue Loan Agreement with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P. (the “Lender,” or “Avenue”), as amended on March 31, 2023, for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20 million (the “Avenue Loan”). The Avenue Loan bore interest at an annual rate equal to the greater of (a) the sum of 7.7% plus the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and (b) 10.95%. The interest rate at September 30, 2024 was 16.20%. The Avenue Loan was secured by all of our assets globally, including intellectual property. On March 15, 2023, we returned to Avenue $4.0 million held in the restricted cash to pay down a portion of the outstanding loan balance, principal payments of $2.1 million and an incremental 4.25% of the final payment of $0.2 million. On March 31, 2023, we reached an agreement to amend the existing loan agreement with Avenue to defer the interest only period to September 30, 2023, with an additional extension option upon the FDA approval for the HEPZATO KIT and subsequent receipt of at least $10 million from the sale and issuance of equity securities. In exchange for this extension, we agreed to provide Avenue with 34,072 warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant share, all of which were exercised in April 2024. On August 14, 2023, we received the FDA approval for the HEPZATO KIT and subsequently received over $10 million from the exercise of warrants. At our option, we elected to extend the interest only period to December 31, 2023. Principal payments of approximately $1.0 million began in January 2024.
Previous report
Avenue did not exercise its option to convert the remaining principal amount of the Avenue Loan into shares of our common stock and on August 1, 2024, upon maturity of the Avenue loan, we made the final payment due there under. Avenue has released us from all obligations and returned all security interests back to us.

March 2023 Private Placement
Previous report
On March 27, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Preferred Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Series F Preferred Offering”), (i) 24,900 shares of our Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-1 Preferred Stock”), (ii) tranche A warrants (the “Preferred Tranche A Warrant”) to acquire 34,859 shares of Series F-3 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-3 Preferred Stock”) and (iii) tranche B warrants (the “Preferred Tranche B Warrant,” together with the Preferred Tranche A Warrant, the “Preferred Warrants”) to acquire 24,900 shares of Series F-4 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series F-4 Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate offering price of $24.9 million before deducting the fees paid to the placement agent and the financial advisors and other financing expenses payable by us.
Previous report
Also on March 27, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the our Chief Executive Officer, Gerard Michel, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement (the “Common Offering”, and together with the Series F Preferred Offering, the “Private Placements”), (i) 19,646 shares of common stock, (ii) tranche A warrants to acquire 31,110 shares of common stock (the “Common Tranche A Warrants”, and together with the Preferred Tranche A Warrants, the “Tranche A Warrants”) and (iii) tranche B warrants to acquire 16,666 shares of common stock (the “Common Tranche B Warrants”, and together with the Preferred Tranche B Warrants, the “Tranche B Warrants”) for an approximate aggregate offering price of $0.1 million.
Previous report
On June 12, 2023, the stockholders approved the Private Placements at the annual general meeting of stockholders and therefore, the Preferred Warrants and Common Warrants issued in the Private Placements became exercisable. The exercise of all such Preferred Warrants and Common Warrants would generate approximately $60.0 million in proceeds to us. As of September 30, 2024, all of the Preferred Tranche A Warrants were exercised for an aggregate exercise price of $34.9 million into 34,859 shares of Series F-3 Preferred Stock, which were subsequently converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and Rights relating to the Series F Preferred Offering, 250 shares Preferred Tranche B Warrants were exercised for an aggregate exercise price of $0.3 million into 250 shares of Series F-3 Preferred Stock, which were subsequently converted into shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and Rights relating to the Series F Preferred Offering, and all of the Common Tranche A Warrants were exercised for an aggregate exercise price of $0.1 million into 31,110 shares of common stock.

We are an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary cancers metastatic to the liver. Our lead product, the HEPZATO KIT (melphalan for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System), a drug/device combination product, was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on August 14, 2023, indicated as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with uveal melanoma with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection, or radiation. The first commercial use of the HEPZATO KIT for the treatment of metastatic hepatic dominant uveal melanoma (“mUM”) took place in January 2024.
Current wording
We are an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of cancers primary or metastatic to the liver. Our lead product, the HEPZATO KIT (melphalan for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System), a drug/device combination product (“HEPZATO” or “HEPZATO KIT”), was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) on August 14, 2023, indicated as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with uveal melanoma with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection, or radiation. The first commercial use of the HEPZATO KIT for the treatment of metastatic hepatic dominant uveal melanoma (“mUM”) took place in January 2024.
Previous wording
In addition to HEPZATO’s use to treat mUM, the Company believes that HEPZATO has the potential to treat other cancers in the liver, such as metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, metastatic breast cancer and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and plans to begin one or more studies of the HEPZATO KIT to treat such conditions in late 2024 or early 2025. We believe that those and similar disease states are areas of unmet medical needs that represent significant market opportunities.
Current wording
In addition to HEPZATO’s use to treat mUM, the Company believes that HEPZATO has the potential to treat other cancers in the liver, such as metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic breast cancer, metastatic neuroendocrine tumors and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Previous wording
The increase in total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 was due to the commercial launch of the HEPZATO KIT in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2024 and the commercial expansion since such time along with an increase in demand for CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Current wording
The increase in total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024 was due to the continued commercial expansion and demand of HEPZATO in the United States and CHEMOSAT in Europe. In the first quarter of 2024 there were 4 facilities that had treated at least one patient. As of March 31, 2025, 17 facilities were treating patients.
Previous wording
The change in cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 is directly related to changes in demand for product revenue.
Current wording

Previous wording
Research and development expenses are incurred for the development of HEPZATO and consist primarily of payroll and payments to contract research and development companies. In 2023, these costs primarily related to generating pre-clinical data submission of the NDA and the cost of manufacturing HEPZATO for expanded access program sites utilizing the HEPZATO KIT prior to FDA approval. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 is due to lower costs associated with NDA submission and expanded access program costs offset by an increase in medical affairs and regulatory costs associated with an approved product.
Current wording
Research and development expenses are incurred for the development of HEPZATO and consist primarily of payroll and payments to contract research and development companies. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to costs associated with expanding the clinical team and initiation of the Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care for mCRC. In 2024, these costs primarily related to medical affairs and regulatory costs associated with the approved products.
Previous wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, rent and professional services such as accounting, legal, marketing and commercial preparation services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to commercial launch activities including marketing-related expenses and additional personnel in the commercial team.

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll, rent and professional services such as accounting, legal, marketing and commercial preparation services. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same periods in 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to continued commercial expansion activities including marketing-related expenses and additional personnel in the commercial team.
Previous wording
Interest and other income (expense) in 2024 is primarily related to the change in fair value of the Tranche B Warrants liability, interest income associated with marketable securities which is then offset by interest expense related to our debt instruments. There was a decrease in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 related to the principal loan payments made during 2023 and 2024. A decrease in warrant valuation occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the decrease in expected term of the outstanding Tranche B Warrants.
Current wording
Interest and other income in 2025 is primarily related to the interest income associated with marketable securities and cash on hand. In 2024, this amount was offset by interest expense related to our debt instruments and the change in fair value of warrant liability. There was no interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to all debt being paid off in 2024. There was no change in warrant valuation during the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the exercise of all Tranche B Warrants in 2024.

At March 31, 2024, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $11.8 million.
Previous wording
We also expect to use cash and cash equivalents to fund activities relating to commercial support for HEPZATO, CHEMOSAT and any future clinical research trials and operating activities. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize HEPZATO and CHEMOSAT; the cost of and our ability to obtain additional regulatory approvals for HEPZATO and CHEMOSAT in additional jurisdictions and for additional indications; our ability to build a commercial infrastructure for HEPZATO for the treatment of mUM in the United States; obtaining regulatory approvals and complying with applicable laws and regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements; our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our research and development and establish a commercial infrastructure; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; the resolution of any disputes with third parties; and the effect of competing technological and market developments.
Current wording
We believe that our current cash on hand, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to support our current operations through at least 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Our actual future liquidity and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including the initiation and progress of clinical trials and research and product development programs; obtaining regulatory approvals and complying with applicable laws and regulations; the timing and effectiveness of product commercialization activities, including marketing arrangements; the timing and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights; the resolution of any disputes with third parties; and the effect of competing technological and market developments.
