Delcath Systems Publishes Two Investigator-Initiated Trials-In-Progress Abstracts At 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting Delcath Systems, Inc. announced the publication of two investigator-initiated trials-in-progress abstracts on May 21, 2026. These abstracts will be presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago. The abstracts highlight ongoing clinical investigations evaluating the use of Delcath’s percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) with melphalan using the HEPZATO KIT Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) in metastatic melanoma involving the liver. One abstract, titled 'Phase 2 sequential treatment of percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan/hepatic delivery system followed by tebentafusp in the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma,' describes an investigator-initiated Phase 2 trial evaluating sequential treatment with HEPZATO followed by tebentafusp in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) who are HLA-A*02:01 positive and have isolated or liver-dominant metastases. The study is designed to assess progression-free survival and additional measures including safety, objective response, overall survival, and biomarker analyses. The study opened for enrollment in November 2025. A second abstract, titled 'Phase 1b/2 trial of melphalan-percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) therapy and nivolumab/relatlimab in patients with metastatic melanoma and liver metastasis,' outlines a single-center Phase 1b/2 study evaluating HEPZATO in combination with nivolumab/relatlimab as a first-line treatment approach for patients with metastatic non-uveal melanoma involving the liver. The trial is intended to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy, with secondary objectives including disease control rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, duration of response, and tumor reduction. The study opened for enrollment in January 2026. The abstract on sequential PHP followed by tebentafusp in mUM (Abstract TPS9605) and the abstract on PHP plus nivolumab/relatlimab in metastatic melanoma with liver metastasis (Abstract TPS9600) will be presented as posters at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting. 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. 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.

Delcath Systems, Inc. Announces Presentation Of New Data On Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion With Melphalan In Liver-Dominant Metastatic Breast Cancer Delcath Systems, Inc. announced that new data from a retrospective analysis by independent investigators on percutaneous hepatic perfusion with melphalan (M-PHP) using the CHEMOSAT Hepatic Delivery System was presented at the ESMO Breast Cancer Congress 2026. Independent investigators at three European centers retrospectively identified 15 patients with liver-dominant metastatic breast cancer treated with M-PHP (CHEMOSAT) at three European centers. The analysis evaluated feasibility, safety, and tumor response per RECIST v1.1. Fifteen patients were treated between September 2015 and May 2024 after a median of 4 prior systemic therapy lines (range 1–6). Patients received a median of 1 M-PHP cycle (range 1–7), typically followed by ICU admission of 1–2 days. 67% of patients required blood transfusions (primarily packed red blood cells). Intra-/peri-procedural adverse events occurred in 60% of patients (primarily hematologic or hemodynamic). Grade 3–4 post-procedure adverse events occurred in 80% of patients, predominantly bone marrow suppression with neutropenic-related infections; events typically onset early (median 1 day) and resolved in a median of 7 days. Hepatic partial response was observed in 9 of 15 treated patients (60%); 3 patients were not evaluable for response. Median overall survival from first M-PHP was 6.0 months (95% CI, 2.9–NR; range 0.1–76.5); 33% (5/15) of patients were alive at last follow-up. Median follow-up was 55.6 months (95% CI, 53.7–NR). HEPZATO KIT is currently being evaluated in a randomized Phase 2 trial in metastatic breast cancer patients with liver dominant disease (PHP-MBC-202; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT06875128). 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.

Delcath Systems, Inc. Announces Inclusion of Chemosat Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan as A Recommended Liver-Directed Regional Therapy Option in the Esmo–Euracan Clinical Practice Guidelines for Uveal Melanoma Delcath Systems, Inc. announced that its proprietary CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (M-PHP) has been included as a recommended liver-directed regional therapy option in the newly published Uveal Melanoma: ESMO–EURACAN Clinical Practice Guideline for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up (April 2026). M-PHP is also recognized in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Metastatic Uveal Melanoma. HEPZATO KIT™ (also referred to as melphalan/HDS), is included as a Category 2A recommended treatment option for appropriate patients with hepatic-dominant metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). M-PHP has been listed as a liver-directed therapy option in NCCN guidelines for several years, predating the 2023 FDA approval of HEPZATO KIT. The ESMO-EURACAN guideline recognizes M-PHP under regional treatments for patients with liver-dominant mUM. Two Phase 3 trials of M-PHP (NCT02678572 and NCT00324727) are cited as key supporting data, demonstrating improved hepatic and overall progression-free survival, and overall response rates compared with best alternative care. The guideline also assigns an ESMO-Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale score of 3 to M-PHP in the supplementary materials, for patients with unresectable hepatic metastases affecting. 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.

Delcath Systems Announces Publication of Chopin Clinical Trial Results in the Lancet Oncology Delcath Systems, Inc. announced the publication of the full results from the investigator-initiated CHOPIN randomized Phase 2 clinical trial, led by Principal Investigator Professor Ellen Kapiteijn, MD, from Leiden University Medical Center’s Department of Medical Oncology. The publication, titled “Percutaneous hepatic perfusion combined with ipilimumab and nivolumab for metastatic uveal melanoma (CHOPIN): a single-centre, open-label, randomised, phase 2 trial” is published in The Lancet Oncology and presents detailed analyses from the trial, building on the positive topline results previously presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in October 2025. The CHOPIN trial randomized 76 patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM; n=38 per arm) to percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) with melphalan using Delcath’s CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) alone or in combination with ipilimumab plus nivolumab. In both arms patients received two PHP treatments (weeks 1 and 7). In the combination arm patients also received ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) plus nivolumab (3 mg/kg) in weeks 0, 3, 6, and 9, with no maintenance therapy. Key results (intention-to-treat population): · Primary endpoint – 1-year progression-free survival (PFS): 54.7% vs 15.8% (adjusted HR 0.34 [95% CI 0.19–0.60]; p=0.0002), Median PFS: 12.8 months vs 8.3 months · Overall Survival (OS): Median 23.1 months vs 19.6 months (HR 0.39 [95% CI 0.20–0.77]; p=0.0065) 2-year OS: 49.6% vs 22.1% · Objective Response Rate (ORR): 76.3% vs 39.5% Complete response (CR) rate: 13% vs 3% Safety Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events occurred significantly more frequently in the combination arm (82%) than in the PHP-alone arm (41%); p=0.0006. The rate in the combination arm was similar to that reported in the FOCUS trial (81%). The most common grade 3/4 events were thrombocytopenia (34% vs 14%), leukopenia (26% vs 14%), ?-glutamyl transferase increase (18% vs 8%), and anemia (13% vs 3%). Most events were self-limiting or manageable with standard supportive care; no new safety signals were identified. One treatment-related death (immune-related triple M syndrome) occurred in the combination arm. Overall, the authors conclude that the combination of PHP with ipilimumab and nivolumab offers a promising new approach for patients with metastatic uveal melanoma.

Announces Publication of Subgroup Analyses of the Phase 3 FOCUS Study of Melphalan/Hepatic Delivery System in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Uveal Melanoma Delcath Systems, Inc. announced the publication of results from subgroup analyses of the phase 3 FOCUS study. The publication, titled "Subgroup Analyses of the Phase 3 FOCUS Study of Melphalan/Hepatic Delivery System in Patients with Unresectable Metastatic Uveal Melanoma" was published in the Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology. The analysis assessed efficacy and safety in subgroups of patients treated with Delcath's HEPZATO KIT, a drug/device combination for liver-directed treatment of mUM patients. The HEPZATO K IT is currently the only liver-directed treatment to be approved by the FDA for patients with unresectable mUM. The article provides clinically relevant subgroup analyses of key efficacy endpoints, including overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and safety categories. Prespecified subgroups included age (ORR: significantly higher ORR for patients with tumor burden below the median (51.1% vs. 22.2%, p=0.008). No significant differences for other subgroups. PFS: significantly longer median PFS for patients with tumor burden below The median (11.3 vs. 5.8 months, p=0.007). OS: significantly longer median OS for patients with smaller extent of tumor liver involvement (22.4 vs 16.8 months, p= 0.032), tumor burden below the median (26.7 vs 15.4 months, p=0.008) and low/normal LDH (23.4 vs 15.3 months, p=0.019). Of the 33 patients achieving an objective response (CR or PR), 57.6% (19 patients) responded within the first or second treatment cycle, while one-third (33.3%; 11 patients) of responses were observed in Cycles 4-6, highlighting the importance of continued treatment up to the maximum of 6 cycles to optimize tumor response. The overall safety profile was similar across subgroups, with no evidence of cumulative toxicity with successive treatment cycles. The incidence of serious adverse events and Grade 3/4 adverse events was consistent with the overall study population, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. The FOCUS study utilized HEPZATO Kit (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System), and results from the FOCUS study lead to the approval of HEPZATO by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 45% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (45% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risk Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-US$26m). Duyuru • Jan 13

Delcath Systems Announces FDA Clearance of IND Application for Phase 2 Clinical Trial of HEPZATO in Liver-Dominant Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Delcath Systems, Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its 30-day review of the Company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating HEPZATO™ in combination with standard of care (SOC) for liver-dominant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). With the FDA's review complete, Delcath is now authorized to initiate patient enrollment. The Phase 2 trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HEPZATO in combination with trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab compared to trifluridine-tipiracil and bevacizumab alone in patients with liver-dominant mCRC receiving third-line treatment. Approximately 90 patients will be enrolled in this randomized, controlled trial. The study will take place at more than 20 sites across the United States and Europe, with patient enrollment expected to begin in the second half of 2025. The trial’s primary endpoint, hepatic progression-free survival (hPFS), is anticipated to read out by the end of 2027, while overall survival (OS), a secondary endpoint, is expected in 2028. The company estimates that the total addressable market (TAM) for liver-dominant mCRC receiving third-line treatment is between 6,000 and 10,000 patients annually in the United States. This market includes patients who present with significant liver disease burden, with liver-dominant status determined through radiological and clinical criteria. By targeting this patient population, Delcath aims to provide a novel treatment option for those with limited therapeutic alternatives. Major Estimate Revision • Nov 15

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved HEPZATO KIT on August 14, 2023 based on the results from the pivotal FOCUS study. A total of 91 patients with unresectable mUM were treated with HEPZATO KIT at 23 treatment centers in the US and Europe. Preliminary results from the FOCUS study were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in 2022. The FOCUS study was designed to provide a robust evaluation of efficacy and safety of HEPZATO KIT treatment, and enrolled a heterogeneous mUM patient population, including treatment-naïve and pretreated patients, patients with and without extrahepatic disease and patients with a range of baseline tumor burden. The primary efficacy endpoint of the FOCUS study was Overall Response Rate (ORR), which was 36.3%, including 7.7% of patients with Complete Response (CR), as determined by an Independent Review Committee. 37.4% of patients had Stable Disease (SD). ORR achieved in the FOCUS study was compared to a Meta-analysis of historic data, encompassing 16 published clinical studies with a total of 476 mUM patients treated with contemporary immunotherapy drugs. ORR of 36.3% in the FOCUS study was statistically significantly better than the pooled ORR estimate (a weighted mean of the observed ORR) of 5.5% in the historical control group. Secondary efficacy endpoints included Duration of Response (DOR), median Progression-free Survival (mPFS) and median Overall Survival (mOS), which were 14, 9 and 20.5 months, respectively. Safety and tolerability of HEPZATO KIT treatment reported in the FOCUS study was comparable with published clinical experience with Chemosat in Europe. Median number of administered HEPZATO KIT treatment cycles in the FOCUS study was 4. The most common serious treatment-emergent adverse events (SAE) were thrombocytopenia (15.8%) and neutropenia (10.5%), managed with standard supportive care and resolved with no ongoing complications. No treatment-related deaths were observed. Duyuru • Apr 13
