[{"type":"text","content":"\nNew, Single-arm Phase 3 Study Expected to Initiate in Early 2022\n\n PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nUroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building and commercializing novel solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, is announcing at its virtual Spotlight Event being held today that, following recent discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), it plans to conduct a new, single-arm Phase 3 pivotal study of UGN-102 for the treatment of low-grade, intermediate-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (“NMIBC”). This new study, which is expected to initiate in early 2022, is expected to enroll approximately 220 patients across 90 sites.\n\n“We have worked diligently with the FDA over the past several years to define the unmet need in low-grade NMIBC, with a particular focus on the intermediate risk population that typically experiences multiple recurrences,” said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. “We are preparing to initiate a single-arm pivotal study of UGN-102 to form the basis for a New Drug Application for UGN-102 in the treatment of low-grade, intermediate-risk NMIBC. We believe this new study increases the probability of regulatory success for UGN-102 given its streamlined design in addition to the encouraging results observed from our Phase 2 OPTIMA II study.”\n\nUroGen is grateful to the investigators and patients who are participating in the ATLAS study and believes the data generated will represent an important component of the planned UGN-102 NDA submission, which remains on track for 2024. In light of the new planned Phase 3 trial, UroGen will stop enrollment in the ATLAS trial. Patients already enrolled in ATLAS will have the option to remain in the study until completion.\n\nIn addition to the updated clinical plan for UGN-102, the Spotlight Event features presentations on UroGen’s earlier-stage, locally administered immunotherapy candidates, UGN-301 and UGN-201, as well as two expert panel discussions on future directions in treating NMIBC, other types of bladder cancer and the potential benefits of UroGen’s immunotherapy pipeline products in non-urologic cancers.\n\nDistinguished panelists discussing the current treatment landscape and potential future innovations in NMIBC include:\n\n\nDr. Sandip Prasad, a urolog...
