Current report
We have sufficient raw material and component constituent parts of the HEPZATO KIT to meet anticipated demand and we intend to manage supply chain risk through stockpiled inventory and contracting with multiple suppliers for critical components.
Current report
The FOCUS Trial
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 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.
Current report
The CHOPIN Trial
Current report
On October 18, 2025, independent investigators presented results from the Phase 2 CHOPIN clinical trial. The randomized Phase 2 trial was designed to compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CHEMOSAT with melphalan for PHP when used alone versus when combined with the systemic ICIs ipilimumab and nivolumab. Ipilimumab and nivolumab are approved by the FDA and European Union for the treatment of unresectable metastatic melanoma. The CHOPIN trial included 76 patients randomized 1:1 to receive two PHP treatments alone at weeks one and seven (PHP group) or four cycles of ICI every three weeks over approximately nine weeks with two PHP treatments at weeks one and seven (combination group). The primary study endpoint of one-year progression-free survival rate was met with 54.7% in the combination group versus 15.8% in the PHP group. The secondary endpoints included Safety, OS, PFS and ORR. The combination group saw an increase in median OS of 23.1 months versus 19.6 months (HR = 0.39; p = 0.006), median PFS 12.8 months versus 8.3 months (HR = 0.34; p<0.001) and ORR of 76.3% in the combination group versus 39.5% (p<0.001). Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were more frequent in the combination group (81.6% versus 40.5%, P<0.001), but most were manageable with standard care. The combination treatment adverse events were consistent with the types, rates, and frequencies of adverse events in PHP and checkpoint inhibitors. No new safety signals were identified.

We recorded approximately $37.2 million in product revenue during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the same period in 2023, we recorded $2.1 million in revenue. Our revenue increased$32.3 million due to the commercial launch of the HEPZATO KIT in the United States during the first quarter of 2024. There was also an increase in demand for CHEMOSAT in Europe with revenue increasing from $2.1 million in 2023 to $4.9 million in 2024.
Previous report
Warrant Liability
Previous report
The valuation of the warrant liability was determined using option pricing models. These models use inputs such as the underlying price of the shares issued at the measurement date, volatility, risk free interest rate and expected life of the instrument. In addition, we used probabilities of recording at least $10 million in quarterly United States revenue from the commercialization of HEPZATO as inputs in the model to determine the fair value of warrants liability. We adjusted the fair value of the warrant liability at the end of each reporting period and calculated a final valuation at exercise for each warrant.

Previous wording
On May 6, 2024, we announced the publication of results from our Phase 3 FOCUS Clinical Trial for Patients with metastatic hepatic dominant Uveal Melanoma (the “FOCUS Trial”), including an Overall Response Rate (“ORR”) of 36.35, which included 7.7% of patients with Complete Response, as determined by an Independent Review Committee. An ORR of 36.3% in the FOCUS study was statistically significantly better than the pooled ORR estimate (a weighted mean of the observed ORR) of 5.5% in the historical control group. We expect that the publication will support increased clinical adoption of and reimbursement for CHEMOSAT in Europe, and support reimbursement in various jurisdictions, including the United States.
Current wording
Our clinical development program for HEPZATO was comprised of the FOCUS Trial, a global registration clinical trial that investigated objective response rate in patients with mUM. The current focus of our clinical development program is to generate clinical data for CHEMOSAT and HEPZATO in patients with mUM, either as monotherapy or in combination with immunotherapy. On May 6, 2024, we announced the publication of results from our Phase 3 FOCUS Trial, including an ORR of 36.3%, which included 7.7% of patients with Complete Response, as determined by an Independent Review Committee. An ORR of 36.3% in the FOCUS study was statistically significantly better than the pooled ORR estimate (a weighted mean of the observed ORR) of 5.5% in the historical control group. We expect that the publication will support increased clinical adoption of and reimbursement for CHEMOSAT in Europe, and support reimbursement in various jurisdictions, including the United States.
Previous wording
In addition to HEPZATO’s FDA approved use to treat mUM, we believe 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. The focus of our current and planned clinical development program is to generate clinical data for CHEMOSAT and HEPZATO in a broader set of liver dominant cancer indications either as monotherapy or in combination or sequenced with current standard of care therapeutics such as immunotherapy. The ongoing and planned trials may support eventual regulatory submissions for label expansion in the United States as well as support increased clinical adoption and reimbursement in various jurisdictions including the United States and Europe.
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
Our IND application for a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care (SOC) for 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.

Previous wording
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $6.2 million in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased $5.6 million over the same period in 2023. This increase is directly related to the increase in revenue from the commercial launch of the HEPZATO KIT in the United States and the increase in demand for CHEMOSAT in Europe.
Current wording
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded $11.8 million in cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased $5.6 million over the same period in 2024. This increase is directly related to the increase in demand for product revenue which requires an increase in personnel and those associated costs.
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. For the year ended December 31, 2024, research and development expenses decreased to $13.9 million from $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $3.6 million or 21%. The decrease is primarily due to lower costs associated with the 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 year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 is due to costs associated with expanding the clinical team including share-based compensation expense related to an increase in headcount and initiation of the Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO in combination with standard of care for mCRC and mBC. 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 year ended December 31, 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $29.6 million from $22.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $7.4 million or 34%. The increase is primarily due to commercial launch activities including marketing-related expenses and additional personnel in the commercial team.
Current wording
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and professional services such as accounting, legal, marketing and commercial preparation services. For the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to continued commercial expansion activities including marketing-related travel expenses and additional personnel on the commercial team. In addition, the increase in personnel along with higher grant date exercise prices has increased the share-based compensation expense.
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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023 related to the principal loan payments made during 2023 and 2024. An increase in warrant valuation occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 due to the final valuation of the Tranche B warrants at exercise.
Current wording
Interest and other income in 2025 are 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 year ended December 31, 2025 due to all debt being paid off in 2024. There was no change in warrant valuation during the year ended December 31, 2025 due to the exercise of all Tranche B Warrants in 2024.

Contingent liabilities are re-measured to fair value each reporting period using projected financial targets, discount rates, probabilities of payment, and projected payment dates. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow model. Projected financial targets are based on our most recent internal operational budgets and may take into consideration alternate scenarios that could result in more or less profitability for the respective service line. Increases or decreases in projected financial targets and probabilities of payment may result in significant changes in the fair value measurements. Increases in discount rates and the time to payment may result in lower fair value measurements. Increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Increases or decreases in discount rates and the time to payment may result in lower or higher fair value measurements. Increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
Previous wording
Valuation of stock options generally requires certain assumptions, including the fair market value of our common stock (generally an observable market price, as our common stock is publicly traded), the expected term of the financial instrument (judgment is required), the expected volatility of our common stock over the expected term (generally estimated by reference to the historical volatility of our common stock), our expected dividend rate over the expected term (currently estimated as zero, given that we are not projecting profits over the intermediate term) and the expected risk-free rate over the expected term (generally estimated by reference to United States treasury instruments with similar remaining terms).

Previous wording
We utilize contract research organizations in order to perform research and development and conduct clinical trials. In some cases, these organizations do not bill on a timely basis. Management monitors certain key drivers of these costs and estimates accruals in an attempt to properly match expenses incurred with the appropriate reporting period. However, there is judgment involved and the actual billings could be more or less than the estimated accrual.

On April 28, 2025, we announced our IND application clearance by the FDA for the Phase 2 clinical trial of HEPZATO in 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 15 sites across the United States and Europe, with patient enrollment expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. 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.
