ANNUAL REPORT
2023
Dear Shareholders,
As we re ect on this past year, I continue to be amazed by the persistence and resilience of our UroGen team. Following many
years of developing medicines to treat patients with urothelial cancers, we are on the precipice of what has the potential to be
the most exciting time for our company.
A major milestone was reached in our UGN-102 clinical development program when we announced the 12-month durability
data from the Phase 3 ENVISION study in June. The results showed an unprecedented 12-month duration of response of 82.3%
by Kaplan-Meier estimate in patients who had achieved a complete response with UGN-102 at three months after the rst
instillation. UGN-102 has demonstrated a strong clinical pro le across multiple trials, with these latest results reinforcing its
potential to be the rst U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medicine for the treatment of low-grade intermediate
risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, a disease impacting nearly 82,000 patients in the U.S. each year.
We initiated the submission of a rolling New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for UGN-102 in January and we plan to complete
the ling of our NDA in the third quarter of 2024. We believe we have a compelling package for a high unmet need and may
qualify for priority review, which if granted, could allow for a commercial launch in the rst quarter of 2025, if approved.
The compelling data demonstrating signi cant complete response rates, with the vast majority of patients maintaining their
complete response at 12 months, gives us con dence in UGN-102 s rapid adoption if approved. We plan on leveraging our existing
commercial organization with an incremental increase in resources to execute on the potential launch of UGN-102. We recently
made an important addition to our management team with the appointment of David Lin as Chief Commercial Of cer. David
has a proven track record of success within the pharmaceutical industry including multiple launches, and we are con dent in
his ability to support our commercial efforts.
We continue to grow the body of real-world evidence supporting usage of Jelmyto , highlighted by three abstracts presented at
the American Urological Association meeting in May. These included independent long-term real-world analyses that explored
the use of the product in broad patient and tumor types and with different methods of administration. The results showed that
Jelmyto treatment demonstrated favorable recurrence-free survival rates for patients who responded to initial induction. There
was no discernible difference in disease recurrence based on tumor characteristics or timing of administration, including primary
chemoablation or post-endoscopic ablation. These ndings provide additional evidence reinforcing Jelmyto's position as a
valuable non-surgical therapeutic option for patients with low-grade upper tract urothelial carcinoma.
We are also working on next generation formulations of UGN-102 and Jelmyto. In April we announced FDA acceptance of the
Investigational New Drug application for UGN-103, a key step in our life cycle management strategy. UGN-103, a next-generation
formulation of UGN-102, combines our proprietary RTGel technology with medac GmbH s proprietary formulation of mitomycin.
Importantly, this program may extend our urothelial cancer franchise patents with protection to 2035 and the potential for
additional protection up to 2041. We are preparing to initiate clinical endpoint studies to support NDAs for UGN-103 and UGN-104,
the latter being our next-generation formulation of Jelmyto. We anticipate dosing patients in the planned Phase 3 trial of UGN-103
by the end of this year and UGN-104 shortly thereafter.
Our balance sheet remains strong, reinforced by recent additional capital secured this year. This funding will support
the potential launch of UGN-102, as well as provide additional resources to invest in business development and life cycle
management initiatives.
At UroGen, we have pioneered an innovative approach to treating urothelial cancers, offering a breakthrough non-surgical
treatment option with the potential to reduce recurrence risk and prolong disease-free intervals. We believe UGN-102 addresses
a signi cant recognized unmet need amongst both urologists and patients. Importantly, our research indicates a strong patient
preference for non-surgical options that can reduce their overall treatment burden. Looking ahead, we remain focused on driving
for results that will have a meaningful impact on the people that use and receive our therapies. We believe this is a pivotal period
in UroGen s evolution as we strive to establish leadership in uro-oncology and build a long-term sustainable growth enterprise.
To our shareholders, we appreciate your con dence in our medicines and in our team to generate value for you as we deliver
paradigm-shifting treatments for patients that deserve better. We sincerely appreciate the steadfast support of our shareholders
and the invaluable contributions of our dedicated employees, patients, and the urology community.
Warm regards,
