[{"type":"text","content":" PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nUroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a leading biotech company specializing in novel therapies for urothelial and specialty cancers, today announced the successful completion of its New Drug Application (NDA) submission for investigational drug UGN-102, (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, a significant step forward in potentially addressing the urgent need for innovative treatments for low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). UroGen anticipates potential FDA approval in early 2025, if the NDA is accepted for filing by the FDA and priority review is granted.\n\n\n“The completion of the NDA submission for UGN-102 marks a crucial milestone for UroGen and underscores our dedication to advancing this groundbreaking treatment for patients with LG-IR-NMIBC,” said Liz Barrett, President and CEO of UroGen. “By providing a viable alternative to repeated surgeries, if approved UGN-102 may offer patients quality of life benefits and clinically meaningful recurrence-free intervals. The high recurrence rates associated with LG-IR-NMIBC make the need for innovative therapies like UGN-102 urgent. UGN-102 could become a valuable new option for managing this challenging disease.”\n\n\nThe NDA is supported by the clinical program for UGN-102, including the long-term durability results from the Phase 3 ENVISION study. The ENVISION trial met its primary endpoint by demonstrating that patients treated with UGN-102 had a 79.6% complete response (CR) rate at three months following the first instillation. UGN-102 demonstrated an 82.3% 12-month duration of response (DOR) by Kaplan-Meier estimate (n=108) in patients who achieved a CR at three months. The DOR estimates at 15 (n=43) and 18 (n=9) months after 3-month CR were both 80.9%.\n\n\nThe most common treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) in the ENVISION trial were dysuria, hematuria, urinary tract infection, pollakiuria, fatigue, and urinary retention. TEAEs were typically mild-to-moderate in severity and resolved or resolving. The ENVISION trial demonstrated a similar safety profile to that observed in other studies of UGN-102.\n\n\nFor more information and perspective on the ENVISION study results and the unmet need for patients with LG-IR-NMIBC click here to view the webcast: UGN-102 12-Month Durability of Response Data ...
