About Delcath Systems
Delcath Systems, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical
device company focused on oncology with an emphasis on the
treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. Our proprietary
Melphalan Hydrochloride for Injection for use with the Delcath
Hepatic Delivery System (Melphalan/HDS) is designed to administer
high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic
exposure. In April 2012 we obtained
authorization to affix a CE Mark to our second-generation system,
which is currently marketed in Europe as a device under the trade name
Delcath Hepatic CHEMOSAT® Delivery System for Melphalan (CHEMOSAT).
In the U.S. the Melphalan/HDS system is considered a combination
drug and device product, and is regulated as a drug by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Melphalan/HDS system
has not been approved for sale in the U.S. We have commenced a
global Phase 2 clinical trial in Europe and the U.S. to investigate the
Melphalan/HDS system for the treatment of primary liver cancer
(HCC), and expect to initiate a global Phase 3 trial in ocular
melanoma (OM) that has metastasized to the liver and plan to
evaluate intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in a Phase 2
clinical study.
