The retrospective study was conducted by teams from Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. The study explores patient treatment outcomes with Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP Therapy) with Melphalan/HDS in patients with primary metastatic ocular melanoma (OM) with liver metastasis treated between 2008 and 2016. The study was led by Dr. Alexandra Gangi of the Moffitt Cancer Center.

"We are very pleased that Dr. Gangi and her team’s research has been accepted for oral presentation at this prestigious event and believe that their research results will further inform on the use of Melphalan/HDS as a potentially viable additional option for treatment of hepatic metastases in patients with metastatic ocular melanoma," said Jennifer K. Simpson, Ph.D., MSN, CRNP, President and Chief Executive Officer of Delcath. "We look forward to announcing the details of these new data after they are presented."
