Excerpt from the Press Release:
PRINCETON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing novel solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, today highlights results from a long-term follow-up study with JELMYTO (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution, which is FDA approved for the treatment of low-grade, upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC) in adult patients. Among patients from the OLYMPUS trial who achieved a complete response after primary chemoablation with JELMYTO (n=41, 20 of whom entered the long-term follow-up study), the median duration of response was 47.8 months (median follow-up 28.1 months [95% CI 13.1, 57.5]). The study results are published online in the Journal of Urology.
“The median DOR of 47.8 months in patients who achieved complete response with JELMYTO provides evidence of robust durability in maintaining control of low-grade UTUC over an extended period,” said Phillip Pierorazio, M.D., Chief, Section of Urology, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Professor of Surgery, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, P.A., study author and member of the American Urological Association (AUA)/ Annual Society of Urological Oncology (SUO) UTUC Guideline Committee. “The AUA/SUO recommend that urologists use kidney-sparing techniques as the preferred management strategy for patients with low-grade UTUC when possible. JELMYTO, with this evidence for extended durability of complete response, offers the opportunity for durable recurrence-free intervals.”
Of the 71 patients enrolled in OLYMPUS, 41 achieved a complete response after treatment with JELMYTO and had a median duration of response of 47.8 months (95% CI 13.0, not estimable), with median follow-up of 28.1 months (95% CI 13.1, 57.5).
