interventional oncologymedical
Interventional oncology is a branch of medicine that uses image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to treat cancer by targeting tumors directly—through techniques such as precise heat, cold, chemical delivery, or blocking a tumor's blood supply. Investors care because it drives demand for specialized devices, hospital services and repeatable outpatient procedures, and can change treatment costs and patient outcomes much like a targeted tool that removes a weed without digging up the whole garden.
metastaticmedical
Metastatic describes cancer that has spread from its original spot to other organs or tissues, like weeds moving from one garden bed into several others. For investors, metastatic disease matters because it often requires more complex, long-term treatments, larger clinical trials, and can drive demand for specialized drugs and diagnostics—factors that affect a drug’s development costs, regulatory risk, market size, and potential revenue.
QUEENSBURY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Delcath Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCTH), an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of the liver, today announced that management will be attending the BTIG 13th Annual MedTech, Digital Health, Life Science & Diagnostic Tools Conference at the Cliff Lodge in Snowbird, Utah.
About Delcath Systems, Inc., HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSAT
Delcath Systems, Inc. is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The company's proprietary products, HEPZATO KIT™ (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) and CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), are designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects during a PHP procedure.
In the United States, HEPZATO KIT is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated and approved for sale as a drug by the FDA. HEPZATO KIT is comprised of the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan and Delcath's proprietary Hepatic Delivery System (HDS). The HDS is used to isolate the hepatic venous blood from the systemic circulation while simultaneously filtrating hepatic venous blood during melphalan infusion and washout. The use of the HDS results in loco-regional delivery of a relatively high melphalan dose, which can potentially induce a clinically meaningful tumor response with minimal hepatotoxicity and reduce systemic exposure. HEPZATO KIT is approved in the United States as a liver-directed treatment for adult patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting less than 50% of the liver and no extrahepatic disease, or extrahepatic disease limited to the bone, lymph nodes, subcutaneous tissues, or lung that is amenable to resection or radiation. Please see the full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING for the HEPZATO KIT.
In Europe, the device-only configuration of the HDS is regulated as a Class III medical device and is approved for sale under the trade name CHEMOSAT Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan, or CHEMOSAT, where it has been used in the conduct of percutaneous hepatic perfusion procedures at major medical centers to treat a wide range of cancers of the liver.
