Overview
We are a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers. We have developed RTGel reverse-thermal hydrogel, a proprietary sustained release, hydrogel-based technology that has the potential to improve therapeutic profiles of existing drugs. Our technology is designed to enable longer exposure of urinary tract tissue to medications, making local therapy a potentially more effective treatment option. Our approved products Jelmyto (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution and Zusduri (mitomycin) for intravesical solution are designed to ablate tumors by non-surgical means and to treat several forms of non-muscle invasive urothelial cancer, including low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (“low-grade UTUC”) and recurrent low-grade intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (“low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC”), respectively. In addition, our immuno-uro-oncology pipeline includes UGN-501 (formerly known as ICVB-1042), a next-generation investigational oncolytic virus.
On June 12, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved our new drug application (“NDA") for Zusduri (formerly known as UGN-102) for the treatment of adults with recurrent low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC. We estimate that the annual treatable population of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC in the United States is approximately 82,000, of which approximately 23,000 are estimated to be newly diagnosed and 59,000 are estimated to be recurrent patients. We estimate that the total addressable market opportunity for Zusduri in recurrent low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is potentially over $5.0 billion.
We believe Zusduri has the potential to become the new standard of care for adults with recurrent low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC as the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment. The existing standard of care for low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is a surgical procedure typically performed under general anesthesia called transurethral resection of bladder tumor (“TURBT”). Due to high recurrence rates of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC following TURBT, repeat TURBTs may be necessary. We estimate that approximately 68% of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC patients have two or more recurrences, with approximately 23% of recurrent patients having five or more recurrences. Repeated TURBT procedures to treat these recurrences can impact patients’ physical health and quality of life. Patients who have had two to four procedures have an estimated 14% greater risk of death than patients who have only had one procedure.
RTGel is a novel proprietary polymeric biocompatible, reverse thermal gelation hydrogel technology, which, unlike the general characteristics of most forms of matter, is liquid at lower temperatures and converts into gel form when warmed to body temperature. We believe that these characteristics promote ease of delivery into and retention of drugs in body cavities, including the bladder and the upper urinary tract, forming a transient reservoir of drug that dissolves over time while preventing rapid excretion, providing for increased dwell time. RTGel leverages the physiologic flow of urine to provide a natural exit from the body.
We believe that RTGel, when formulated with an active drug, may allow for the improved efficacy of treatment of various types of urothelial and specialty cancers and urologic diseases without compromising the safety of the patient or interfering with the natural flow of fluids in the urinary tract. RTGel achieves this by:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | increasing the exposure of active drugs in the bladder and upper urinary tract by significantly extending the dwell time of the active drug while conforming to the anatomy of the bladder and the upper urinary tract, which allows for enhanced drug tissue coverage. For example, the average dwell time of the standard aqueous mitomycin formulation, currently used as adjuvant treatment, in the upper urinary tract is approximately five minutes, compared to approximately four to six hours when mitomycin is formulated with RTGel; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | administering higher doses of an active drug than would otherwise be possible using standard water-based formulations. For instance, it is only possible to dissolve 0.5 mg of mitomycin in 1 mL of water while it is possible to formulate up to 8 mg of mitomycin with 1 mL of RTGel; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | maintaining the active drug’s molecular structure and mode of action. |

These characteristics of RTGel enable sustained release of mitomycin in the urinary tract for Jelmyto, Zusduri, UGN-103 and UGN-104. Further, RTGel may be particularly effective in the bladder and upper urinary tract where tumor visibility and access are challenging, and where there exists a significant amount of urine flow and voiding. We believe that these characteristics of RTGel may prove useful for the local delivery of active drugs to other bodily cavities in addition to the bladder and upper urinary tract.
Jelmyto
On April 15, 2020, the FDA approved our NDA for Jelmyto (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution, formerly known as UGN-101, for the treatment of adult patients with low-grade UTUC. Jelmyto consists of mitomycin, an established chemotherapy, and sterile hydrogel, using our proprietary sustained release RTGel technology. It has been designed to enable longer exposure of urinary tract tissue to mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means. New product exclusivity for Jelmyto expired on April 15, 2023, however, orphan drug exclusivity extends until April 15, 2027. Additionally, the main patents that protect Jelmyto in the United States are set to expire in January 2031. These patents are listed in the FDA's Orange Book (Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations).
Low-grade UTUC is a rare cancer that develops in the lining of the upper urinary tract, which consists of the kidneys and ureters. In the United States, there are approximately 6,000 to 7,000 new or recurrent low-grade UTUC patients annually. It is a challenging condition to treat due to the complex anatomy of the urinary tract system. Prior to Jelmyto, the standard of care included endoscopic resection(s) and radical nephroureterectomy (“RNU”), the latter which involves the removal of the renal pelvis, kidney, ureter and bladder cuff. Treatment is further complicated by the fact that low-grade UTUC is most commonly diagnosed in patients over 70 years of age, who may already have compromised kidney function and may suffer further complications as a result of a major surgery. We are focused on changing the way urothelial cancers are treated, an area in which there has been no significant advancements in recent years. Jelmyto is the first drug therapy of its kind, providing an alternative to endoscopic resection(s) and/or RNU.
The FDA approval was based on results from our Phase 3 trial showing Jelmyto achieved clinically significant disease eradication in adults with low-grade UTUC. Findings from the final study results include:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Complete response (“CR”) rate (primary endpoint) of 58% (41/71) in the intent-to-treat population and in the sub-population of patients who were deemed not capable of surgical removal at diagnosis. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | At the 12-month assessment of durability, 23 of 41 total patients remained in CR, eight patients experienced recurrence of disease and ten patients were unable to be evaluated. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Durability of response ("DOR") was estimated to be 81.8% at 12 months by Kaplan-Meier analysis. The median duration of response was not reached. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | The most commonly reported adverse events (≥ 20%) were ureteric obstruction, flank pain, urinary tract infection, hematuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, renal dysfunction, nausea, dysuria and vomiting. Most adverse events were mild to moderate and manageable. No treatment-related deaths occurred. |
In February 2025, we presented additional new data from the long-term follow-up study to UroGen’s Phase 3 Olympus trial. Among patients from the trial who achieved a CR 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 were published in the March 2025 issue of The Journal of Urology.
In June 2020, we initiated our commercial launch of Jelmyto in the United States. We have staffed, trained and prepared a customer-facing team that includes territory business managers with deep experience in both u

The existing standard of care for low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC is a surgical procedure typically performed under general anesthesia called transurethral resection of bladder tumor (“TURBT”). Due to high recurrence rates of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC, repeat TURBTs may be necessary. We estimate that approximately 68% of low-grade intermediate risk NMIBC patients have two or more recurrences, with approximately 23% of recurrent patients having five or more recurrences. Repeated TURBT procedures to treat these recurrences can impact patients’ physical health and quality of life. Patients who have had two to four procedures have an estimated 14% greater risk of death than patients who have only had one procedure.
RTGel is a novel proprietary polymeric biocompatible, reverse thermal gelation hydrogel technology, which, unlike the general characteristics of most forms of matter, is liquid at lower temperatures and converts into gel form when warmed to body temperature. We believe that these characteristics promote ease of delivery into and retention of drugs in body cavities, including the bladder and the upper urinary tract, forming a transient reservoir of drug that dissolves over time while preventing rapid excretion, providing for increased dwell time. RTGel leverages the physiologic flow of urine to provide a natural exit from the body.
We believe that RTGel, when formulated with an active drug, may allow for the improved efficacy of treatment of various types of urothelial and specialty cancers and urologic diseases without compromising the safety of the patient or interfering with the natural flow of fluids in the urinary tract. RTGel achieves this by:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | increasing the exposure of active drugs in the bladder and upper urinary tract by significantly extending the dwell time of the active drug while conforming to the anatomy of the bladder and the upper urinary tract, which allows for enhanced drug tissue coverage. For example, the average dwell time of the standard aqueous mitomycin formulation, currently used as adjuvant treatment, in the upper urinary tract is approximately five minutes, compared to approximately six hours when mitomycin is formulated with RTGel; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | administering higher doses of an active drug than would otherwise be possible using standard water-based formulations. For instance, it is only possible to dissolve 0.5 mg of mitomycin in 1 mL of water while it is possible to formulate up to 8 mg of mitomycin with 1 mL of RTGel; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | maintaining the active drug’s molecular structure and mode of action. |
These characteristics of RTGel enable sustained release of mitomycin in the urinary tract for both Jelmyto, Zusduri, UGN-103 and UGN-104. Further, RTGel may be particularly effective in the bladder and upper urinary tract where tumor visibility and access are challenging, and where there exists a significant amount of urine flow and voiding. We believe that these characteristics of RTGel may prove useful for the local delivery of active drugs to other bodily cavities in addition to the bladder and upper urinary tract.
Jelmyto
On April 15, 2020, the FDA approved our new drug application (“NDA”) for Jelmyto (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution, formerly known as UGN-101, for the treatment of adult patients with low-grade UTUC. Jelmyto consists of mitomycin, an established chemotherapy, and sterile hydrogel, using our proprietary sustained release RTGel technology. It has been designed to prolong exposure of urinary tract tissue to mitomycin, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means. New product exclusivity for Jelmyto expired on April 15, 2023, however, Orphan Drug exclusivity extends until April 15, 2027. Additionally, the main patents that protect Jelmyto in the United States are set to expire in January 2031. These patents are listed in the FDA's Orange Book (Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations).
Low-grade UTUC is a rare cancer that develops in the lining of the upper urinary tract, ureters and kidneys. In the United States, there are approximately 6,000 to 7,000 new or recurrent low-grade UTUC patients annually. It is a challenging condition to treat due to the complex anatomy of the urinary tract system. Prior to Jelmyto, the current standard of care included endoscopic resection(s) and radical nephroureterectomy (“RNU”), the latter which involves the removal of the renal pelvis, kidney, ureter and bladder cuff. Treatment is further complicated by the fact that low-grade UTUC is most commonly diagnosed in patients over 70 years of age, who may already have compromised kidney function and may suffer further complications as a result of a major surgery. We are focused on changing the way urothelial cancers are treated, an area in which there has been no significant advancements in recent years. Jelmyto is the first drug therapy of its kind, providing an alternative to endoscopic resection(s) and/or RNU.
The FDA approval was based on results from UroGen's Phase 3 Olympus trial showing Jelmyto achieved clinically significant disease eradication in adults with low-grade UTUC. Findings from the final study results include:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Complete response (“CR”) rate (primary endpoint) of 58% (41/71) in the intent-to-treat population and in the sub-population of patients who were deemed not capable of surgical removal at diagnosis. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | At the 12-month time point for assessment of durability, 23 patients remained in CR of a total of 41 patients, eight had experienced recurrence of disease and ten patients were unable to be evaluated. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | Durability of response was estimated to be 81.8% at 12 months by Kaplan-Meier analysis. The median duration of response was not reached. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| • | The most commonly reported adverse events (≥ 20%) were ureteric obstruction, flank pain, urinary tract infection, hematuria, abdominal pain, fatigue, renal dysfunction, nausea, dysuria and vomiting. Most adverse events were mild to moderate and manageable. No treatment-related deaths occurred. |

In February 2025, we presented additional new data from the long-term follow-up study to UroGen’s Phase 3 Olympus trial. Among patients from the trial who achieved a CR after primary chemoablation with Jelmyto (n=41, 20 of whom entered the long-term follow-up study), the median DOR was 47.8 months (median follow-up 28.1 months [95% CI 13.1, 57.5]). The study results were published in the March 2025 issue of The Journal of Urology.
In June 2020, we initiated our commercial launch of Jelmyto in the United States. We have staffed, trained and prepared a customer-facing team that includes territory business managers with deep experience in both urology and oncology. These territory business manager positions are led by regional business director positions, who are in turn supported by regional operations manager positions. Each region is additionally supported by clinical nurse educators to provide education and training around instillation, as well as field reimbursement managers to help ensure access and reimbursement for appropriate patients and key account directors who engage with C-suite individuals to introduce a Jelmyto service line. In addition, our organization includes medical science liaisons who appropriately engage with physicians interested in learning more about UroGen, Jelmyto and our technology, both in person and virtually. In total, our customer-facing team comprises approximately 150 colleagues.
We are committed to helping patients access Jelmyto. Our market access teams have laid the foundation for coverage and reimbursement. Medicare patients with supplemental coverage are covered and the vast majority of commercial plans have policies in place to cover Jelmyto. In addition to reimbursement and access, we have also been focused on ensuring seamless integration into physician practices. We have implemented processes to help make Jelmyto preparation and administration seamless for practitioners and patients, including entering into agreements with various national, regional and local mixing pharmacies under which the pharmacy, following receipt of a patient prescription, prepares and dispenses the Jelmyto admixture. In September 2022, the FDA authorized an extension of the in-use period for the Jelmyto admixture from eight hours to 96 hours (four days) following reconstitution of the product, adding convenience and flexibility in managing patient care.
In October 2020, a Medicare C-Code was issued for Jelmyto. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services ("CMS") established a permanent and product-specific J-code for Jelmyto that took effect on January 1, 2021 and replaced the C-Code. CMS has granted Jelmyto a New Technology Ambulatory Payment Classification ("APC"), effective from October 1, 2023. We have also launched a registry to capture
