PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an overview of recent developments.

“The second quarter marked another important step in establishing ZUSDURI as a foundational therapy for adult patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,” said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. “The continued increase in utilization, expanding adoption across community practices, and growing repeat use reinforce our confidence we are building a durable commercial franchise with blockbuster potential. During the quarter, we strengthened the long-term sustainability of the franchise through a new U.S. patent allowance that, once the patent is issued, is expected to provide intellectual property coverage for both ZUSDURI and UGN-103 into July 2044. We believe this meaningfully enhances the long-term commercial opportunity for both products and further reinforces the sustainability of the franchise. Combined with the life-cycle expansion of UGN-103 and initiation of clinical development for UGN-501, we believe we are exceptionally well positioned to build a durable growth company and create long-term shareholder value.”

Q2 2026 and Recent Business Highlights:

ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution:

  • ZUSDURI achieved net product revenue of $50.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, representing 73% growth over the first quarter of 2026. As of June 30, 2026, UroGen reported:
    • 1,444 activated sites of care
    • 452 unique ZUSDURI prescribers
    • 204 repeat ZUSDURI prescribers, representing approximately 45% of total prescribers, up from 40% in the first quarter of 2026
  • Updated results from the Phase 3 ENVISION trial of ZUSDURI showed a 36-month duration of response (DOR) of 64.5% (95% CI: 54.6, 72.8) by Kaplan-Meier estimate among patients who achieved a complete response (CR) at three months (79.6%). At a median follow-up of 35.5 months, the median DOR had not been reached. ZUSDURI’s durability was achieved without maintenance therapy, supporting a treatment approach that can provide lasting disease control while reducing treatment burden for patients.
  • UroGen received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a new U.S. patent covering methods of treating patients with recurrent, low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC) without transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Once issued, the patent is expected to provide protection into July 2044, further strengthening the intellectual property supporting ZUSDURI and UGN-103 and reinforcing the long-term commercial opportunity for both products.

American Urological Association (AUA) Key Opinion Leader Webinar:

  • On May 17, 2026, UroGen hosted a Key Opinion Leader webinar at the AUA Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C., focused on real-world experience with ZUSDURI. The discussion highlighted patient selection, workflow integration, treatment patterns, and physician experience across both hospital and community practices, reinforcing growing confidence in the use of ZUSDURI in routine clinical practice. A replay of the event is accessible through the Investors section of the Company’s website.

JELMYTO (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution in LG-UTUC:

  • Generated net product revenue of $22.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with $24.2 million reported for the second quarter of 2025. The Company continues to add new users and remains on track to deliver within its JELMYTO full-year 2026 guidance range of $97 million to $101 million.
  • UroGen entered into a settlement and license agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Teva Pharmaceuticals, USA, Inc. (collectively, “Teva”) that resolves the patent litigation UroGen initiated in response to Teva’s submission of an Abbreviated New Drug Application to the U.S. FDA for a generic version of JELMYTO prior to the expiration of the relevant UroGen patents. Under the terms of the agreement, UroGen granted Teva a non-exclusive license to sell its generic version of JELMYTO beginning on September 15, 2030, if approved by the FDA, unless certain limited circumstances customarily included in these types of agreements occur.

Next-generation novel mitomycin-based formulations for urothelial cancer:

  • UGN-103 achieved a 94.5% (95% CI: 86.1, 97.9) DOR at six months by Kaplan-Meier estimate, in the ongoing Phase 3 UTOPIA trial in patients with LG-IR-NMIBC. The six-month results from UTOPIA are generally consistent with the 91.9% (95% CI: 86.9, 95.0) six-month DOR by Kaplan-Meier estimate observed with ZUSDURI in the pivotal ENVISION trial.
  • UroGen remains on track to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-103 in the third quarter of 2026, with potential FDA approval in 2027 and full launch anticipated following receipt of a unique J-Code. UGN-103 is designed to build on the clinical and commercial foundation of ZUSDURI. The benefits of UGN-103 include a more streamlined manufacturing process and simplified reconstitution, while preserving the innovative and proven RTGel® technology that enables sustained drug exposure at tumor sites in the bladder.
  • The Company expects to initiate a randomized controlled Phase 3 trial evaluating UGN-103 in high-risk NMIBC in the second half of 2026, and a trial evaluating UGN-103 as adjuvant therapy in newly diagnosed intermediate-risk NMIBC patients in 2027.
  • The Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating UGN-104 in low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC) remains on track to complete enrollment by the end of 2026.

UGN-501 (investigational next-generation oncolytic virus) for use in high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer:

  • UroGen’s Investigational New Drug application for UGN-501 has been accepted by the FDA, and the Company plans to initiate its Phase 1 clinical trial in NMIBC in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue: Total revenue was $72.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by the continued commercial launch of ZUSDURI.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.9 million. This compares to $18.9 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, in the same period in 2025. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to ZUSDURI manufacturing costs, which were recognized as an R&D expense in the second quarter of 2025 prior to receiving FDA approval.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses were $48.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $4.4 million. This compares to $43.2 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.3 million, in the same period in 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to ZUSDURI commercial activities, including the sales force expansion following ZUSDURI approval and higher brand marketing expenses, and an increase in overall commercial operation costs.

Financing on Prepaid Forward Obligation: UroGen reported non-cash financing expense related to the prepaid forward obligation to RTW Investments of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $4.6 million in the same period in 2025.

Interest Expense on Long-term Debt: Interest expense related to long-term debt was $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared with $4.1 million in the same period in 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the additional borrowings of $75.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 in connection with the Pharmakon refinancing of long-term debt, offset by the lower interest rate.

Net Loss: UroGen reported a net loss of $14.4 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with a net loss of $49.9 million, or ($1.05) per basic and diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: As of June 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $108.0 million.

2026 JELMYTO Revenue and Updated Company Operating Expense Guidance: The Company continues to expect 2026 net product revenue for JELMYTO to be in the range of $97 million to $101 million. This implies a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 3% to 7% over the $94 million of JELMYTO revenue reported in 2025. The Company is not providing full-year 2026 revenue guidance for ZUSDURI at this time, as the product remains in the early stages of its commercial launch. The Company is increasing its full-year 2026 operating expenses guidance to be in the range of $260 million to $270 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $20 million to $24 million. The increase reflects the decision to accelerate investment behind the business in response to the continued strength of the ZUSDURI launch. Specifically, the Company plans to increase investment in ZUSDURI peer-to-peer promotional education and patient awareness initiatives to support long-term commercial adoption, and also accelerate start-up activities for the UGN-103 high-grade NMIBC trial and development activities of UGN-501 with RTGel®.

Conference Call & Webcast Information: Members of UroGen’s management team will host a live conference call and webcast today at 10:00 AM Eastern Time to review UroGen’s financial results and provide a general business update.

About JELMYTO

JELMYTO® (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution is a mitomycin-containing reverse thermal gel containing 4 mg mitomycin per mL gel approved for the treatment of adult patients with LG-UTUC. JELMYTO is a viscous liquid when cooled and becomes a semi-solid gel at body temperature. The drug slowly dissolves over four to six hours after instillation and is removed from the urinary tract by normal urine flow and voiding. It is approved for administration in a retrograde manner via ureteral catheter or antegrade through a nephrostomy tube. The delivery system allows the initial liquid to coat and conform to the upper urinary tract anatomy. The eventual semisolid gel allows for chemo-ablative therapy to remain in the collecting system for four to six hours without immediately being diluted or washed away by urine flow.

APPROVED USE FOR JELMYTO

JELMYTO® is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with a type of cancer of the lining of the upper urinary tract including the kidney called low-grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer (LG-UTUC).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You should not receive JELMYTO if you have a hole or tear (perforation) of your bladder or upper urinary tract.

Before receiving JELMYTO, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:

  • are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. JELMYTO can harm your unborn baby. You should not become pregnant during treatment with JELMYTO.
