"In his presentation, Dr. Burgmans stated his belief that PHP Therapy should be considered as first line therapy in ocular melanoma liver metastases, an opinion informed by both our commercial experience in Europe and our prior research into this tumor type," said Jennifer K. Simpson, Ph.D., MSN, CRNP, President and CEO of Delcath Systems. "LUMC is one of the our most experienced treatment centers, and with CHEMOSAT recently added to the Dutch National Treatment Guidelines for use in ocular melanoma, we believe Dr. Burgmans comments reflect growing confidence in this therapy’s role in treating this disease. We continue to work tirelessly to advance our current clinical trial in this disease in order to further validate this role for our therapy and to deliver on its full potential to patients in need."
The ECIO was held in Vienna, Austria, April 22-25, 2018.
