UroGen Reports $68.0 Million of ZUSDURI Revenue and Provides Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Highlights

  • ZUSDURI® generated $68.0 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, representing 35% quarter-over-quarter growth
  • The FDA accepted UroGen’s NDA for UGN-103 (next-generation novel mitomycin-based formulation) for review; PDUFA goal date set for June 14, 2027
  • Announced first patient dosed in the UGN-501 Phase 1 trial
  • Conference call and webcast to be held today at 10:00 AM ET

PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UroGen Pharma Ltd. (Nasdaq: URGN), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided an overview of recent developments.

“We delivered another strong quarter of execution, with ZUSDURI continuing to scale as growing repeat utilization, expanding community adoption, and broader physician engagement reinforce our confidence in the long-term commercial opportunity,” said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. “At the same time, we are strengthening the durability of our business through the advancement of UGN-103, which aims to build on the success of ZUSDURI and create opportunities to expand into additional patient populations. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) acceptance of the UGN-103 New Drug Application (NDA) in low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (LG-IR-NMIBC), together with our newly issued patent providing coverage into July 2044, further reinforce the long-term revenue potential of our bladder cancer portfolio. Looking ahead, our planned expansion into high-grade NMIBC with UGN-103, advancement of UGN-501 into the clinic, and strategic collaboration with IntraGel provide multiple opportunities for future growth. Together, we believe these achievements position UroGen to build a sustainable growth company and create meaningful long-term shareholder value.”

Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Business Highlights:

ZUSDURI® (mitomycin) for intravesical solution:

  • ZUSDURI achieved net product revenue of $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, representing 35% growth over the second quarter of 2026. As of September 30, 2026, UroGen reported:
    • 1,538 activated sites of care, compared with 1,444 as of June 30, 2026
    • 662 unique ZUSDURI prescribers, compared with 452 as of June 30, 2026
    • 331 repeat ZUSDURI prescribers, compared with 204 as of June 20, 2026, representing approximately 50% of total prescribers, up from 45% as of June 30, 2026
    • These trends reflect continued growth in both the breadth and depth of ZUSDURI adoption, with increasing repeat utilization reinforcing physician confidence and integration into routine clinical practice.
  • UroGen’s new U.S. method-of-treatment patent covering the non-surgical treatment of recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC has been issued and listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for ZUSDURI. The patent is expected to provide coverage into July 2044 for ZUSDURI and, if approved, UGN-103, reinforcing the long-term commercial opportunity for the franchise.

JELMYTO (mitomycin) for pyelocalyceal solution in LG-UTUC:

  • Generated net product revenue of $21.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $25.7 million reported for the third quarter of 2025. Third-quarter 2026 results included a one-time unfavorable gross-to-net adjustment of approximately $1.5 million related to a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) invoice for the discarded drug program that included a prior year true-up resulting in corresponding adjustments to the Company’s reserves. Results also reflected ongoing competitive clinical trial enrollment activity affecting JELMTYO patient starts in low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer (LG-UTUC).

Next-generation novel mitomycin-based formulations for urothelial cancer:

  • In October 2026, the FDA accepted for review UroGen’s NDA for UGN-103 and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of June 14, 2027. The NDA is based on clinical data from the ongoing Phase 3 UTOPIA trial, a single-arm, multicenter trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of UGN-103 in adult patients with recurrent LG-IR-NMIBC. The three-month complete response (CR) rate, the six-month duration of response (DOR), and the safety results observed in UTOPIA were consistent with those observed in the pivotal ENVISION trial of ZUSDURI. UroGen plans to submit 12-month DOR data from the UTOPIA trial to the FDA during the NDA review.
  • UroGen plans to initiate the Phase 3 LONGVIEW-HR randomized, multicenter trial in the fourth quarter of 2026 evaluating adjuvant UGN-103 versus intravesical gemcitabine in patients with recurrent, papillary-only high-risk NMIBC who previously received Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy. Enrollment is planned for approximately 300 patients, and the primary endpoint will evaluate disease-free survival (DFS).
  • The Company also plans to initiate a non-registrational trial in 2027 evaluating the use of UGN-103 as adjuvant therapy in the newly diagnosed intermediate-risk NMIBC population.
  • The ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating UGN-104 in LG-UTUC is expected to complete enrollment by the end of 2026 or in early 2027.

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

  • The FDA cleared UroGen’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for UGN-501 in July 2026. In November 2026, the Company announced that the first patient began treatment with UGN-501 in the Phase 1 trial intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of intravesical administration of UGN-501. The trial will initially evaluate UGN-501 in aqueous solution, with future development expected to explore delivery using UroGen’s RTGel® technology.

Strategic Collaboration with IntraGel Therapeutics:

  • In August 2026, UroGen entered into a strategic collaboration, licensing option and equity investment agreement with IntraGel Therapeutics. The agreement provides UroGen an exclusive option to evaluate and develop up to three future oncology products using IntraGel’s proprietary SRGel platform, a biodegradable, sustained-release depot technology, as well as an exclusive option to acquire worldwide rights to IntraGel’s Phase 2-ready investigational cisplatin therapy for locally advanced, inoperable head and neck cancer. UroGen also agreed to invest up to $7 million in IntraGel’s equity securities, of which $4 million was invested in the third quarter of 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Revenue: Total revenue was $89.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $27.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by the continued commercial launch of ZUSDURI.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $26.0 million in the third quarter of 2026, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.9 million. This compares to $14.0 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, in the same period in 2025. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in UGN-103 and UGN-104 clinical development costs, the PDUFA fee related to the UGN-103 NDA submission, and increased development costs related to UGN-501.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses were $47.2 million in the third quarter of 2026, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $5.3 million. This compares to $37.6 million, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $2.3 million, in the same period in 2025. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to ZUSDURI commercial activities and an increase in overall commercial operations costs.

Financing on Prepaid Forward Obligation: UroGen reported non-cash financing expense related to the prepaid forward obligation to RTW Investments of $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $4.6 million in the same period in 2025.

Interest Expense on Long-term Debt: Interest expense related to long-term debt was $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $3.4 million in the same period in 2025. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to the additional borrowings of $75.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 in connection with refinancing long-term debt with Pharmakon Advisors, LP, offset by the lower interest rate.

Net Loss: UroGen reported a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with a net loss of $33.3 million, or $0.69 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: As of September 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $90.5 million.

2026 JELMYTO Revenue and Company Operating Expense Guidance

UroGen is updating its full-year 2026 net product revenue guidance for JELMYTO to approximately $90 million, compared with its prior guidance range of $97 million to $101 million. The revised outlook reflects a one-time unfavorable gross-to-net adjustment of approximately $1.5 million related to a CMS discard drug provision true-up, as well as ongoing competitive clinical trial enrollment activity in the United States that has affected JELMYTO patient starts in low-grade upper tract urothelial cancer. The Company continues to expect full-year 2026 operating expenses to be in the range of $260 million to $270 million, with expenses anticipated toward the upper end of the range, including non-cash share-based compensation expense of $20 million to $24 million.
