About Delcath Systems
Delcath Systems, Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical
device company focused on oncology with a principal focus 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. Melphalan/HDS is considered a combination drug and
device product, and is regulated as a drug by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA). Melphalan/HDS 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 Melphalan/HDS for the treatment of primary liver cancer
(hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC), and have expanded the study to
include a cohort of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
(ICC). We are also advancing plans to conduct a global Phase
3 trial in ocular melanoma that has metastasized to the liver.
