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.
