(Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to creating novel solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, today highlights new data on real-world experience utilizing the antegrade approach via nephrostomy tube for administration of JELMYTO® (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution. This data adds to a growing body of evidence on the safety and efficacy profile of the antegrade method of administration for JELMYTO. These data were presented during a podium presentation at the 2022 American Urological Association (AUA) annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.\n\n“JELMYTO is efficacious as a chemoablative agent in adult patients with low grade upper tract urothelial cancer, and while it’s FDA approved for both antegrade and retrograde administration, prior reports are limited to the retrograde experience,” said Kyle Rose, MD, Urologic Oncology Fellow at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., and study investigator. “These data provide additional evidence that instillation via a nephrostomy tube is an effective instillation method with a safety profile that offers an encouraging option to appropriate patients.”\n\nDr. Rose presented the abstract Antegrade Administration of Reverse Thermal Mytomycin Gel for Primary Chemoablation of Upper Tract Carcinoma via Percutaneous Nephrostomy Tube: A Multi-Institutional Real-World Experience (Abstract PD58-06) during a podium presentation at the AUA annual meeting on Monday, May 16.\n\n“All 71 patients in the Phase 3 OLYMPUS trial utilized the retrograde approach to administer JELMYTO, therefore we are pleased to see real-world evidence that supports the utilization of the antegrade approach giving physicians and patients more options to administer JELMYTO based on their preference and experience,” said Mark Schoenberg, MD, Chief Medical Officer, UroGen.\n\nAbout This Study\n\nThe real-world data from this retrospective analysis was pooled from Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL; University of Missouri School of Medicine, Columbia, MO; The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX; and Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.\n\nTwenty-six patients received nephrostomy tube administration of JELMYTO,...
