"We’ve made strong progress this quarter as we continue to build momentum across our next-generation ADC portfolio," said Jane Chung, Sutro’s Chief Executive Officer. "STRO-004, our Tissue Factor ADC, has received IND clearance ahead of our projections and remains on track to enter the clinic this year, backed by compelling preclinical data that highlight its strong safety profile and potential best-in-class differentiation. In parallel, we’re strengthening our leadership in dual-payload ADCs by showcasing positive new preclinical data from our wholly owned programs and advancing our collaboration with Astellas. This collaboration focuses on developing dual-payload ADCs that combine a cytotoxic payload with a novel immunostimulatory payload, designed to enhance the therapeutic index and overcome tumor resistance. We look forward to sharing updates on each of our next-generation ADC programs at our virtual R&D Day on November 12."

Ms. Chung continued: "Following our recent organizational restructuring, we are well positioned to focus resources on the programs and partnerships that offer the greatest potential for near-term value creation. The resulting operational efficiencies, combined with expected near-term milestone payments, extend our cash runway into at least mid-2027—allowing us to advance key programs through meaningful clinical milestones. With a sharpened strategic focus and a robust scientific foundation, we believe Sutro is poised to deliver differentiated best-in-class ADCs that have the potential to redefine standards of care in oncology."

Wholly Owned Pipeline

STRO-004: The Company received U.S. FDA clearance of its IND application for STRO-004, its potential best-in-class Tissue Factor ADC. Sutro remains on track to dose the first patient in the first-in-human basket trial with STRO-004 before year-end. STRO-004 has a favorable preclinical safety profile in non-human primate studies up to 50 mg/kg, the highest dose tested.

STRO-006: A highly selective integrin β6 (ITGB6) ADC, STRO-006 is expected to enter clinical development in 2026 for the treatment of multiple solid tumors.

Dual-Payload Program: Sutro’s wholly owned dual-payload ADC program remains on track, with an IND submission targeted for 2027.

Next-Generation ADC Collaborations

In September, Sutro announced an organizational restructuring to prioritize the advancement of its ADC programs and research and development collaborations. Along with certain near-term milestone payments, the restructuring is expected to extend the Company’s runway into at least mid-2027, following the planned release of initial clinical data from STRO-004, its next-generation Tissue Factor–targeting exatecan ADC, and initiation of clinical studies for at least one other ADC program.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

As of September 30, 2025, Sutro had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $167.6 million, as compared to $388.3 million as of September 30, 2024. Cost reductions subsequently realized from the restructuring, combined with refocused clinical development priorities and certain expected near-term milestone payments give the Company an expected cash runway into at least mid-2027.

Revenue

Revenue was $9.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, with the 2025 amount related principally to the Astellas collaboration. Future collaboration and license revenue under existing agreements, and from any additional collaboration and license partners, will fluctuate as a result of the amount and timing of revenue recognition of upfront, milestones, and other agreement payments.

Research & Development (R&D) and General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses

Total R&D and G&A expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $48.6 million, as compared to $76.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The 2025 quarter includes non-cash expenses for stock-based compensation of $1.9 million and depreciation and amortization of $1.9 million, as compared to $6.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in the comparable 2024 period.

Restructuring Costs

The total cash payments and costs related to the further operational restructuring announced on September 29, 2025 are estimated to be approximately $4.1 million to $4.3 million, with a significant majority of these amounts expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2025. These estimates are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the corporate restructuring.

"With our Phase 3 ANCHOR study now over 50 percent enrolled, we expect to achieve target enrollment of 6,000 participants by December 2025 and thereby advance CD388 as a potential universal preventative for people at increased risk of complications from influenza as well as those seeking alternatives to flu vaccines," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cidara. "Based on constructive feedback from the FDA, the ANCHOR study population has been expanded to include generally healthy adults over the age of 65 in addition to individuals with certain comorbidities or compromised immune status. This change more than doubles the target population potentially eligible to receive CD388. Our successful financing this summer has provided us with a strong balance sheet that we expect to be sufficient to fully fund our Phase 3 development program through completion."

Recent and Expected Corporate Highlights

Expanded and accelerated Phase 3 plan for CD388 in influenza. Cidara is proceeding with an expanded and accelerated development plan to seek biologics license application (BLA) approval based on a single Phase 3 study, following an End-of-Phase 2 (EOP2) meeting with the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Phase 3 study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of CD388 in populations at high-risk for complications from influenza (ANCHOR study). Based on FDA feedback, the ANCHOR study population was expanded to include adults over 65 years of age with no specific comorbidities in addition to subjects over 12 years of age with high-risk comorbidities or immune-compromised status. This increases the initial number of patients that would be potentially eligible to receive CD388 from approximately 50 million to well over 100 million people in the U.S.
Enrolled and dosed the first patients in the Phase 3 ANCHOR study. The ANCHOR study has a target enrollment of 6,000 participants. Cidara dosed the first patients in the U.S. at the end of September 2025 and enrollment is ongoing in 150 sites in the Northern Hemisphere across the U.S. and the United Kingdom (UK). The ANCHOR study will include an interim analysis in the first quarter of 2026 to assess the trial size and powering assumptions and determine the potential need for additional enrollment during the subsequent Southern Hemisphere flu season.
BARDA award for CD388. The award from Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is valued at up to $339.2 million in total. The base period funding of $58.1 million over the initial 24 months will support the onshoring of CD388 manufacturing to the U.S. as an addition to the initial commercial supply chain. This project is being supported in whole or in part with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response; BARDA, under contract number 75A50125C0017.
Breakthrough Therapy designation of CD388. The Breakthrough Therapy designation is based on positive results from the Phase 2b study (NAVIGATE study) which showed that CD388 was well-tolerated and that all primary and secondary endpoints were met in connection with preventing seasonal influenza in healthy unvaccinated adults aged 18-64. This designation comes in addition to the previously awarded Fast Track designation and is intended to expedite the review of medicines that treat a serious or life-threatening condition and have shown preliminary clinical evidence indicating the potential for substantial improvement over available therapies.
Highlighted CD388 in presentations at various medical conferences. During September 2025 and October 2025, Cidara gave presentations at various medical conferences including the International Society for Respiratory Viruses 8th Antiviral Group Meeting and 3rd International Meeting on Respiratory Pathogens in Singapore, ID Week 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia, and the European Scientific Working Group on Influenza’s 10th Influenza Conference in Valencia, Spain. These oral presentations included late-breaking Phase 2b clinical data from Cidara’s successful NAVIGATE study that showed CD388 to be well-tolerated with all primary and secondary endpoints met in connection with preventing influenza illness in healthy adults.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale investments totaled $476.5 million as of September 30, 2025, compared with $196.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Collaboration revenue was zero for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to zero and $1.3 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. Collaboration revenue related to research and development (R&D) and clinical supply services provided to J&J Innovative Medicine, previously Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (Janssen), under our license and collaboration agreement with Janssen (the Janssen Collaboration Agreement), which was terminated upon the effectiveness of our license and technology transfer agreement with Janssen (the Janssen License Agreement) on April 24, 2024.
Acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) expenses were $45.0 million for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to zero and $84.9 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. Acquired IPR&D in 2025 related to a $45.0 million milestone incurred under the Janssen License Agreement, upon dosing the first five subjects in our ANCHOR study, which will be paid to Janssen in the fourth quarter of 2025. Acquired IPR&D in 2024 related to an upfront payment of $85.0 million paid to Janssen under the Janssen License Agreement on April 24, 2024, in connection with the re-acquisition of CD388, plus $0.4 million in direct transaction costs, offset by a gain of $0.5 million to settle the preexisting Janssen Collaboration Agreement relationship.
R&D expenses were $35.5 million and $84.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $12.4 million and $25.0 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The increase in R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to higher expenses associated with CD388 manufacturing related costs and the preparation and initiation of our ANCHOR study. The increase in R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily due to higher expenses associated with our NAVIGATE study, CD388 manufacturing related costs, and the preparation and initiation of our ANCHOR study, offset by lower nonclinical expenses associated with our Cloudbreak platform.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $8.1 million and $20.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $5.0 million and $13.3 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. The increase in G&A expenses is primarily due to higher personnel costs, driven by higher stock-based compensation, offset by lower audit fees.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company determined that accrued indirect taxes relating to shipments of our former rezafungin assets totaling $9.4 million were not due and payable upon voluntary disclosure and full compliance in certain jurisdictions and the associated liabilities and operating expenses were reversed as part of continuing operations. No indirect tax reversals were recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2025, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Other income, net was $5.4 million and $8.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $1.9 million and $4.0 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. Other income, net related primarily to interest income generated from cash held in interest-bearing accounts and available-for-sale investments.
Income/loss from discontinued operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was zero, compared to a loss of $0.5 million and income of $0.4 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively. On April 24, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Napp Pharmaceutical Group Limited (Napp), an affiliate of Mundipharma Medical Company, pursuant to which all rezafungin assets and related contracts were sold to Napp. All conditions of the sale were completed on April 24, 2024, and the financial results of rezafungin have been reported separately as discontinued operations.
Net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $83.2 million and $132.4 million, respectively, compared to a net loss of $16.0 million and $117.5 million for the same periods in 2024, respectively.

"Zai Lab is entering the next phase of our growth, powered by the rapid advancement of our global pipeline and supported by a commercially profitable and scalable business in China," said Dr. Samantha Du, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of Zai Lab. "With zoci moving into pivotal development less than two years after IND and multiple differentiated global programs progressing in parallel, we are demonstrating the speed, scientific rigor, and global ambition of our R&D engine. At the same time, our commercial platform in China remains strong, with new products and indications – including KarXT, povetacicept and VYVGART – broadening our long-term growth profile. Together, we are building a company that will make a lasting difference for patients and create long-term value for our shareholders."

"This quarter, we continued to deepen the foundations of the VYVGART launch," said Josh Smiley, President and COO of Zai Lab. "In gMG, we are seeing steady new patient starts and increasing treatment duration, supported by updated treatment guidelines and real-world experience. While adoption is building gradually, physician confidence continues to grow and reinforces the long-term potential of VYVGART as a new standard of care in the treatment of this chronic disease. Looking ahead, we are preparing for our next expected launch for KarXT in schizophrenia. We remain focused on disciplined execution as we position for the significant opportunities ahead, supported by a growing regional business and a rapidly progressing, global pipeline."

Recent Pipeline Highlights

Below are key product updates since our last earnings release:

Oncology Pipeline

•Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (zoci, DLL3 ADC) (formerly ZL-1310):

–In October 2025, Zai Lab initiated a global registrational study of zocilurtatug pelitecan monotherapy in second-line+ extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC).

–In October 2025, Zai Lab presented updated Phase 1 results at the AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper)-NCI-EORTC International Conference, demonstrating a best overall response rate of 68% at the 1.6 mg/kg dose in second-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer. The estimated median duration of response (DoR) of 6.1 months across all doses and all lines of therapy is highly encouraging for a monotherapy in this heavily pre-treated and difficult-to-treat patient population. Meaningful activity in patients with brain metastases was also observed, including an 80% response rate in patients with untreated brain metastases. The data also demonstrated a well-tolerated safety profile at 1.6 mg/kg, with Grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events of 13%, no Grade ≥2 interstitial lung disease, and no drug discontinuations. Together, these results reinforce zoci’s best-in-class potential and support the initiation of the global registrational study.

•Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields): In August 2025, Zai Lab announced that the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has granted Innovative Medical Device Designation for TTFields for patients with pancreatic cancer based on the positive results from the Phase 3 PANOVA-3 trial. We plan to submit for regulatory approval in China in the fourth quarter of 2025.

•Bemarituzumab (FGFR2b): In November 2025, Zai Lab partner Amgen announced FORTITUDE-102, a Phase 1b/3 study of bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy and nivolumab in patients with first-line gastric cancer, was stopped.

Immunology Pipeline

•ZL-1503 (IL-13/IL-31R): In November 2025, Zai Lab initiated a global Phase 1/1b study to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ZL-1503 in healthy volunteers and participants with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

•Efgartigimod (FcRn):

–Sjogren’s disease: In September 2025, Zai Lab joined the registrational UNITY study of efgartigimod subcutaneous given by prefilled syringe in Sjogren’s disease in Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, collectively).

–Seronegative gMG: In August 2025, Zai Lab partner argenx announced topline data from the pivotal ADAPT SERON study of VYVGART in patients with AChR-Ab seronegative gMG. The study met its primary endpoint (p-value=0.0068) and it is the first global phase 3 study to demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements in disease activity across all three subtypes – MuSK+, LRP4+, triple seronegative. Zai Lab participated in the global Phase 3 study in Greater China, enabling a potential China regulatory submission.

•Xanomeline-Trospium (or KarXT) (M1/M4-agonist): In September 2025, the "China Schizophrenia Prevention and Treatment Guidelines (2025 Edition)" were officially released, and KarXT was included for the first time, marking the first national-level guideline globally to include KarXT. The guidelines emphasize KarXT’s broad efficacy across all three symptom domains (positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms) and its unique safety profile, supporting long-term adherence and functional recovery. China’s NMPA accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for the treatment of schizophrenia in January 2025.

•Povetacicept: In September 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to povetacicept for the treatment of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Subsequently, the FDA also granted a rolling review of the Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for povetacicept for this indication. Vertex has completed full enrollment of the Phase 3 study, including the interim analysis cohort for potential accelerated approval in the U.S. Zai Lab participated in the global Phase 3 RAINIER study in patients with IgAN in Greater China.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

•Product revenue, net was $115.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $101.8 million for the same period in 2024, representing 13% y-o-y growth, 14% y-o-y growth at constant exchange rate (CER). This increase was primarily driven by increased sales for NUZYRA and XACDURO, partially offset by softer sales for ZEJULA:

–VYVGART and VYVGART Hytrulo were $27.7 million in the third quarter of 2025 which includes a $2.4 million reduction following a voluntary price adjustment on Hytrulo ahead of National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) negotiation, compared to $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Sales grew 4.6% quarter over quarter driven by an extension of duration of therapy and increased market penetration.

–ZEJULA was $42.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $48.2 million for the same period in 2024. Sales were softer due to evolving competitive dynamics within the PARPi class.

–XACDURO, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2024, was $6.4 million in the third quarter of 2025.

–NUZYRA was $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $10.0 million for the same period in 2024. This growth was supported by increased market coverage and penetration.

•Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $47.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $66.0 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decrease in licensing fees in connection with upfront and milestone payments.

•Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $70.1 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $67.2 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher general selling expenses to support the growth of NUZYRA and VYVGART, partially offset by decreases in selling expenses related to ZEJULA.

•Loss from operations was $48.8 million in the third quarter of 2025, $28.0 million when adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses including depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation. A reconciliation of loss from operations (GAAP) to adjusted loss from operations (non-GAAP) is included at the end of this release.

•Net loss was $36.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, or a loss per ordinary share attributable to stockholders of $0.03 (or loss per American Depositary Share (ADS) of $0.33), compared to a net loss of $41.7 million for the same period in 2024, or a loss per ordinary share of $0.04 (or loss per ADS of $0.42). These decreases in net loss were primarily due to increased product revenue and decreased operating expenses.

•Cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and current restricted cash totaled $817.2 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $832.3 million as of June 30, 2025.

On November 6, 2025 UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, reported robust preliminary results from its ongoing Phase 3 UTOPIA trial, demonstrating a 77.8% three-month complete response (CR) rate (95% CI, 68.3%, 85.5%) with UGN-103 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution in patients with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC). This result is consistent with the 79.6% three-month CR rate (95% CI, 73.9%, 84.5%) observed following treatment with ZUSDURI in the pivotal ENVISION trial. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed that CR and durability results from the UTOPIA trial can support the submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) for UGN-103 for recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC.

"The robust 77.8% three-month CR rate observed in the UTOPIA trial is highly encouraging and reinforces the potential of UGN-103 to deliver meaningful benefits to patients," said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. "In addition, the FDA’s agreement that the UTOPIA trial can support the submission of an NDA for UGN-103 represents a significant regulatory milestone and a strong validation of our clinical strategy. Together, these achievements give us significant momentum and a clear path toward potential approval, positioning UGN-103 as a key growth driver and marking an important advancement in expanding our leadership in uro-oncology. We look forward to working closely with the FDA as we complete the UTOPIA trial and prepare for an NDA submission in 2026."

UGN-103 is designed to offer key improvements over ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for adults with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. These include a shorter manufacturing process and a simplified reconstitution procedure, while maintaining UroGen’s established approach that enables prolonged drug exposure within the bladder. UroGen has two U.S. patents with claims relating to the combination of the Company’s RTGel technology combined with medac’s licensed proprietary lyophilized mitomycin formulation. These patents cover UGN-103 as well as the use of UGN-103 for the treatment of LG-IR-NMIBC and expire in December 2041.

About UTOPIA

The UTOPIA trial is a single-arm, multicenter study evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-103 in 99 patients across global sites. Enrolled patients received 75 mg of UGN-103 via intravesical instillation once weekly for six weeks. The primary endpoint is complete response rate at three months, with responders entering a follow-up phase of up to 12 months to assess durability of response.

About UGN-103
In January 2024, UroGen entered into a licensing and supply agreement with medac to develop UGN-103 for LG-IR-NMIBC. UGN-103 is an innovative mitomycin formulation that aims to streamline manufacturing and reconstitution processes while providing intellectual property coverage until December 2041. It utilizes UroGen’s RTGel technology for prolonged mitomycin exposure.

About ZUSDURI

ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution is an innovative drug formulation of mitomycin approved for the treatment of adults with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. Utilizing UroGen’s proprietary RTGel technology (a sustained release, hydrogel-based formulation), ZUSDURI is delivered directly into the bladder by a trained healthcare professional using a urinary catheter in an outpatient setting, thereby enabling the treatment of tumors by non-surgical means.

About Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer (NMIBC)
LG-IR-NMIBC affects around 82,000 people in the U.S. every year and of those, an estimated 59,000 are recurrent. Bladder cancer primarily affects older populations with increased risk of comorbidities, with the median age of diagnosis being 73 years. Guideline recommendations for the management of NMIBC include transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) as the standard of care. Up to 70 percent of NMIBC patients experience at least one recurrence, and LG-IR-NMIBC patients are even more likely to recur and face repeated TURBT procedures.

"Our launch of ZUSDURI, the first and only FDA-approved medicine for adults with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, continues to gain momentum," said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. "Despite slower than anticipated new patient starts, we are encouraged by the patient demand reflected in our patient enrollment forms. Strong enthusiasm and engagement from urologists, growing physician awareness, and broad reimbursement coverage are expanding patient access. Early launch indicators reflect robust interest and confidence in ZUSDURI’s clinical value, reinforcing our belief in the significant commercial opportunity ahead and our ability to fully capitalize on it. The strong complete-response rate for UGN-103 and the FDA’s agreement with our NDA submission plan supports our strategy for the next-generation medicines that are expected to enhance supply, improve manufacturing and preparation efficiencies and provide opportunity for lifecycle extensions. With a strong financial position, we are committed to driving a successful launch of ZUSDURI and advancing our pipeline in ways that deliver lasting impact for patients and long-term value for shareholders."

Q3 2025 and Recent Business Highlights:

ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution:

Following U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on June 12, 2025, UroGen launched ZUSDURI (formerly UGN-102), the first and only FDA-approved medicine for adults with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC), marking a major milestone in bladder cancer care.
ZUSDURI was assigned a unique, permanent Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System J-code (J9282) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The J-code is expected to be effective January 1, 2026.
ZUSDURI is now broadly accessible to patients through Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid insurance programs, with open access for more than 95% of covered lives and approximately 296 million eligible patients.
ZUSDURI achieved net product revenue of $1.8 million in Q3 2025; October 2025 preliminary demand revenue estimate of $4.5 million demonstrates accelerating commercial uptake and growing physician adoption.
From launch on July 1, 2025 through October 31, 2025, UroGen reports:
592 activated sites of care
54 unique ZUSDURI prescribers
16 repeat ZUSDURI prescribers
The article "Review of UGN-102: A Reverse Thermal Gel Containing Mitomycin for the Treatment of Recurrent, Low-Grade, Intermediate-Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer" was published in Reviews in Urology and highlights durable efficacy and manageable safety profile of ZUSDURI in patients with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC.

JELMYTO (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution in low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC)

Generated net product revenue of $25.7 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.2 million (which included CREATES Act sales of $2.6 million) reported for same quarter in 2024. Underlying demand revenue grew by approximately 13% year-over-year.

Next-generation novel mitomycin-based formulation for urothelial cancers

Enrollment is complete in the ongoing Phase 3 UTOPIA clinical trial of investigational drug UGN-103 (mitomycin) for intravesical solution in patients with LG-IR-NMIBC. UroGen reported a three-month complete response rate (CRR) of 77.8% (95% CI, 68.3% to 85.5%), consistent with results from the ENVISION clinical trial.
The FDA agreed with the regulatory plan to submit an NDA based on the data from the single-arm Phase 3 UTOPIA trial to support potential approval of UGN-103. UroGen anticipates submitting an NDA for UGN-103 in the second half of 2026 with potential approval anticipated in 2027.
UGN-103 is a next generation product designed to offer certain improvements over ZUSDURI (mitomycin) for intravesical solution, including a shorter manufacturing process and simplified reconstitution procedure. UGN-103 combines UroGen’s RTGel technology with a novel mitomycin formulation licensed from medac GmbH. For more information on the UTOPIA trial, refer to clinicaltrials.gov/NCT06331299.
The Phase 3 clinical trial to explore the safety and efficacy of UGN-104 is ongoing. UGN-104 is an investigational next-generation mitomycin product for LG-UTUC. Like UGN-103, UGN-104 combines UroGen’s RTGel technology with a novel mitomycin formulation licensed from medac GmbH.

UGN-301 (zalifrelimab), an anti-CTLA4 antibody for use in high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

UroGen has made the strategic decision to discontinue development of UGN-301 (zalifrelimab) following completion of its Phase 1 dose escalation study. While the study confirmed proof of concept for RTGel as a viable platform for local delivery of complex immunotherapies, UGN-301’s overall clinical profile did not meet UroGen’s internal benchmarks for advancement to Phase 2. The program achieved key proof of concept objectives, including sustained bladder exposure with minimal systemic absorption and was generally well tolerated, demonstrating the ability to mitigate CTLA-4–related toxicities, and encouraging efficacy signals. These findings further reinforce the versatility and potential of RTGel technology to enable localized delivery of immunotherapy candidates.
UroGen provided notice to Agenus Inc. of termination for convenience of the License Agreement between the parties. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, termination will become effective upon the later of (i) expiration of the 180-day notice period, or (ii) completion of all required wind-down activities, including the delivery of any Agenus Improvements as defined in the License Agreement.

UGN-501 (investigational next-gen oncolytic virus) for use in high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (

UGN-501 is a potent and fast-replicating investigational next generation oncolytic virus therapy being developed as a locally administered treatment for bladder cancer and other specialty cancers. Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling studies are currently ongoing, with the goal of submitting an IND and initiating a Phase 1 trial in 2026.

Third quarter 2025 Financial Results

Revenue: Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $27.5 million. JELMYTO generated net product revenue of $25.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.2 million (which included $2.6 million of CREATES Act sales) in the same period of 2024, reflecting approximately 13% underlying year-over-year demand driven revenue growth. ZUSDURI achieved net product revenue of $1.8 million in its first quarter on the market, with October 2025 preliminary demand revenue estimate of $4.5 million demonstrating growing early commercial momentum.

R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $14.0 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million as compared to $11.4 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million, for the same period in 2024. The increase in R&D expenses of $2.6 million was primarily driven by costs associated with the Phase 3 UTOPIA trial for UGN-103, partially offset by lower clinical trial costs, manufacturing costs, and regulatory expenses in connection with ZUSDURI.

SG&A Expenses: Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the third quarter of 2025 were $37.6 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.3 million. This compares to $28.9 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.9 million, for the same period in 2024. The increase in SG&A expenses of $8.7 million was primarily driven by ZUSDURI commercial launch activities as well as an increase in overall commercial operation costs.

Financing on Prepaid Forward Obligation: UroGen reported non-cash financing expense related to the prepaid forward obligation to RTW Investments of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $5.9 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by changes in underlying assumptions for remeasuring the effective rate.

Interest Expense on Long-Term Debt: Interest expense related to the $125 million term loan facility with funds managed by Pharmakon Advisors was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.7 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the interest expense on the third tranche of the loan that was funded in September 2024.

Net Loss: UroGen reported a net loss of $33.3 million or ($0.69) per basic and diluted share in the third quarter of 2025 compared with a net loss of $23.7 million or ($0.51) per basic and diluted share in the same period in 2024.

Cash and Equivalents: As of September 30, 2025, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $127.4 million.
