[{"type":"text","content":" NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nDelcath Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCTH) (the “Company” or “Delcath”), an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of the liver, announced today that it will present data from its FOCUS Phase 3 study at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting, which convenes from September 13-17, 2024, in Barcelona, Spain.\n\n\nPoster Presentation Details\n\n\nTitle: Subgroup Analysis of FOCUS Phase 3 Trial Efficacy Results\nDate: September 14, 2024\nTime: 9:00 am\nLocation: Hall 6\nPoster number: 1127P\n\n\nThe presentation will highlight the efficacy of the Melphalan/Hepatic Delivery System (Melphalan/HDS) in patients across six subgroups with unresectable metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM).\n\n\nAbout Delcath Systems, Inc., HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSAT\nDelcath Systems, Inc. is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The company's proprietary products, HEPZATO KIT™ (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) and CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), are designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects during a PHP procedure.\n\n\nIn the United States, HEPZATO KIT is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated and approved for sale as a drug by the FDA. HEPZATO KIT is comprised of the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan and Delcath's proprietary Hepatic Delivery System (HDS). The HDS is used to isolate the hepatic venous blood from the systemic circulation while simultaneously filtrating hepatic venous blood during melphalan infusion and washout. The use of the HDS results in loco-regional delivery of a relatively high melphalan dose, which can potentially induce a clinically meaningful tumor response with minimal hepatotoxicity and reduce systemic exposure. HEPZATO KIT is approved in the United States as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) 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.
