UroGen Pharma (Nasdaq: URGN) announced FDA acceptance of its New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-102, an investigational drug for low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). The FDA set a PDUFA goal date of June 13, 2025. If approved, UGN-102 would be the first FDA-approved medicine for LG-IR-NMIBC.
The NDA is supported by data from three clinical trials, including the ENVISION trial, which met its primary endpoint with a 79.6% complete response rate at three months. The trial also showed an 82.3% 12-month duration of response by Kaplan-Meier estimate in patients who achieved a complete response at 3 months. Common adverse events included dysuria, hematuria, and urinary tract infection.
UroGen's CEO, Liz Barrett, emphasized the potential of UGN-102 to expand treatment options for LG-IR-NMIBC patients, addressing unmet needs in this space.

UroGen Pharma (Nasdaq: URGN) has announced the dosing of the first patient in the Phase 3 clinical trial of UGN-103, a next-generation mitomycin-based formulation for treating low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). The UTOPIA study aims to enroll 87 patients, evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-103.
