    OLYMPUS Long-Term Follow-Up Study Reports Nearly Four-Year Duration of Response in Subset of Patients with Low-Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer Who Achieved a Complete Response to Initial JELMYTO Treatment - Seite 2

    “We are encouraged by the long-term outcomes evidence observed in both new-onset and recurrent LG-UTUC patients,” said Mark Schoenberg, MD, Chief Medical Officer, UroGen. “The sub-analysis provides further compelling evidence that JELMYTO offers durable disease control and clinically meaningful responses, which could significantly reduce the need for repeated interventions. We look forward to expanding our understanding of JELMYTO through the ongoing uTRACT Registry and further evaluating its potential in real-world settings.”

    To further explore the potential of JELMYTO in treating patients with LG-UTUC, investigators are currently enrolling participants in the JELMYTO uTRACT Registry (NCT05874921) to gather longitudinal real-world usage data. As of April 2025, 22 sites have been activated with 251 patients enrolled.

    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 chemoablative therapy to remain in the collecting system for four to six hours without immediately being diluted or washed away by urine flow.

    About Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer

    Urothelial cancer is the ninth most common cancer globally and the eighth most lethal neoplasm in men in the U.S. Between five percent and ten percent of primary urothelial cancers originate in the ureter or renal pelvis and are collectively referred to as UTUC. In the U.S., there are approximately 6,000 - 7,000 new or recurrent LG-UTUC patients annually. Most cases are diagnosed in patients over 70 years old, and these older patients often have multiple comorbidities. There are limited treatment options for UTUC, with the most common being endoscopic surgery or nephroureterectomy (removal of the entire kidney and ureter). Treatment with endoscopic surgery can be associated with a high rate of recurrence and relapse.
