Delcath Systems Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Delcath Systems, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Revenue and outlook improved: Second-quarter revenue rose 20% year over year to $29.1 million, driven by a 30% increase in HEPZATO KIT volume. Delcath raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $104 million–$108 million and expects positive adjusted EBITDA. Commercial expansion continued: Delcath ended the quarter with 31 active treatment centers and remains on track to reach approximately 37 by year-end. New patient starts and backup REMS-certified teams are intended to support capacity and treatment volume. Pipeline development is advancing but faces enrollment challenges: Phase II trials in metastatic colorectal and HER2-negative breast cancer are underway, while the company evaluates additional indications. Delcath said enrollment has been slower than expected because of coordination and training requirements at treatment centers. Delcath Systems (NASDAQ:DCTH) reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $29.1 million, up from $24.2 million a year earlier, as growth in HEPZATO KIT sales supported continued commercial expansion and investment in clinical programs beyond metastatic uveal melanoma. HEPZATO KIT revenue totaled $27.1 million, which Chief Executive Officer Gerard Michel said was 21% higher than the comparable 2025 period despite the introduction of 340B pricing in July 2025. Chief Financial Officer Sandra Pennell said HEPZATO volume increased 17% sequentially from the first quarter and 30% year over year. → 3 Drone Stocks That Should Soar After the Summer Slump The company reported net income of $2.7 million, unchanged from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $7.6 million, compared with $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Delcath ended the quarter with $95.9 million in cash and investments and generated $5.7 million in operating cash flow. Delcath increased its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to a range of $104 million to $108 million. Pennell said the updated outlook reflects first-half performance, particularly the pace of new patient starts, as well as a more modest assumed seasonal decline in the second half. → Meta’s Earnings Drop Shows Wall Street Wants More Than Ad Growth The forecast implies at least 28% growth in HEPZATO KIT volume from 2025, according to the company. Delcath also expects full-year gross margin of 86% to 89% and positive adjusted EBITDA. Sec…Read full documentShow less

Delcath also expects full-year gross margin of 86% to 89% and positive adjusted EBITDA. Second-quarter gross margin was 90%, compared with 86% a year earlier. Pennell attributed the improvement to better overhead absorption, favorable manufacturing performance and higher HEPZATO volume. She said the company remains conservative on the full-year margin outlook because of potential additional manufacturing costs. → Jersey Mike's Serves Fresh Gains After IPO Stumble Pennell said the difference between HEPZATO’s 30% volume growth and 21% revenue growth was entirely attributable to 340B pricing. She said the program reduced the company’s effective average selling price from roughly $185,000 per kit to approximately $170,000 to $173,000 per kit. Delcath activated two new treatment centers during the quarter, bringing its active network to 31 centers. The company remains on track to add approximately six additional centers by year-end, targeting 37 active centers. Michel said the company is prioritizing institutions with academic influence and referral reach, particularly National Comprehensive Cancer Network member institutions and National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer centers. About 80% of Delcath’s active treatment centers have NCI comprehensive designation, while the company is represented at 41% of the 58 NCI comprehensive cancer centers and about half of the 34 NCCN member institutions, he said. Centers added this year include MD Anderson, UT Southwestern, Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, Oregon Health & Science University’s Knight Cancer Institute and Columbia University’s Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center, according to Michel. New patient starts averaged approximately 0.5 per site per month during the second quarter. Michel said patients may receive a series of HEPZATO treatments over as many as three quarters, meaning second-quarter starts can contribute treatment volume through the second half of the year. In response to seasonal capacity constraints, Delcath has worked with treatment centers to train backup REMS-certified teams. Pennell said staff absences at centers with only one certified team had reduced capacity in the prior year. Michel said a meaningful percentage of company volume is now covered by centers with backup teams, including some higher-volume sites. Michel also described the company’s referral strategy as a combination of established networks within current institutions and “just-in-time” outreach to physicians who may encounter only one eligible patient. Delcath uses claims data to identify recently diagnosed patients and is evaluating other data sources that could be refreshed more frequently, he said. Delcath continues to pursue applications for its liver-directed platform in other liver-dominant cancers. Michel highlighted a retrospective analysis presented at ESMO Breast Cancer in May involving 15 heavily pretreated patients with liver-dominant metastatic breast cancer treated with percutaneous hepatic perfusion. Nine of the 15 patients experienced a hepatic partial response, he said. The company’s sponsored Phase II metastatic colorectal cancer trial now has 13 centers actively screening patients. Delcath estimates that roughly 6,000 to 10,000 U.S. patients annually have liver-dominant disease in the third-line colorectal setting. Michel said the company expects an interim colorectal readout sometime late in 2027. In HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, Delcath recently dosed its first patient at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan. Six sites are activated and screening, with additional sites moving through activation. The company estimates an addressable population of similar size to the colorectal opportunity. Michel acknowledged that enrollment in both trials has been below the company’s initial expectations. He said the company underestimated the training and coordination required between interventional radiology teams and oncology clinical-trial teams, particularly at centers less familiar with the procedure. Delcath has added sites, provided specialized training and streamlined onboarding to address those issues. Separately, Michel said data from the randomized Phase II CHOPIN study, published earlier this year in The Lancet Oncology, has contributed to broader use of combination approaches at leading centers. At ASCO, investigators from Moffitt Cancer Center presented a trials-in-progress abstract for a Phase II study of HEPZATO followed by tebentafusp in HLA-A2-positive metastatic uveal melanoma patients. Delcath is also preparing for pre-IND meetings with the Food and Drug Administration later this year to discuss potential additional indications, Michel said. Delcath Systems, Inc is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Hepatic CHEMOSAT® Delivery System, designed to deliver high-dose chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver while minimizing systemic exposure. The company's core technology performs isolated hepatic perfusion, enabling oncologists to administer concentrated melphalan to patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors, including those arising from ocular melanoma.

Zacks
Delcath Systems, Inc. (DCTH) Tops Q2 Earnings and Revenue Estimates
Delcath Systems, Inc. (DCTH) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.07 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $0.16 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.07 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +143.75%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post a loss of $0.01 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.03, delivering a surprise of -200%. Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times. Delcath Systems, which belongs to the Zacks Medical - Instruments industry, posted revenues of $29.13 million for the quarter ended June 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.88%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $24.16 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Delcath Systems shares have added about 25.1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 12.8%. While Delcath Systems has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Delcath Systems was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

Non-GAAP MeasuresDelcath’s reported earnings are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, and represent earnings as reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Delcath has provided in this release certain financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Delcath’s management believes that the non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA described in this release, which includes adjustments for specific items that are generally not indicative of our core operations, provides additional information that is useful to investors in understanding Delcath’s underlying performance, business and performance trends, and helps facilitate period-to-period comparisons and comparisons of its financial measures with other companies in Delcath’s industry.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not required to be uniformly applied, are not audited and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. About Delcath Systems, Inc., HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSATDelcath Systems, Inc. is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The company's proprietary products, HEPZATO KIT™ (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) and CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), are designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects during a PHP procedure. In the United States, HEPZATO KIT is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated and approved for sale as a drug by the FDA. HEPZATO KIT is comprised of the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan and Delcath’s proprietary 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. Please see the full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING for the HEPZATO KIT. 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.

Press release with our second quarter 2026 results is available on our website under the Investors section and includes additional details.
Our website also has our latest SEC filings, which we encourage you to review. A recording of today's call will be available on our website. Now, I would like to turn the call over to Gerard Michel. Gerard, please proceed.
Thank you for joining us today. Now well into our third year of commercial launch, we continue to deliver revenue growth and operate as a profitable business, supported by a platform with the potential to address larger patient populations well beyond metastatic uveal melanoma. We delivered a strong second quarter, driven by $27.2 million in HEPZATO KIT revenue, up 21% over the second quarter of 2025. A significant achievement given the introduction of 340B pricing in July of 2025. We activated two new treatment centers, bringing our total to 31, and sustained a healthy flow of new patients into our existing sites. Our commercial execution in metastatic uveal melanoma is now self-funding the investment needed to extend our liver-directed platform into other cancers where the liver is a dominant site of disease.
We remain on track to activate approximately six additional centers by year-end, which would bring us to 37 active centers. We are not simply opening more centers; we are opening the right centers. Most of our targets are part of one of two overlapping groups of institutions. The first is National Comprehensive Cancer Network member institutions, or NCCN, an alliance of 34 leading cancer centers that help define oncology standards of care. The second is the National Cancer Institute's Comprehensive Care Centers, 58 institutions federally designated for excellence in cancer research, clinical trials, and multidisciplinary patient care. Today, approximately 80% of our active treatment centers hold NCI comprehensive designation. Nationally, we are now represented at 41% of the 58 NCI comprehensive care centers and approximately half of the 34 NCCN member institutions. Our 2026 activations continued that pattern.
This year, we added MD Anderson, UT Southwestern, Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, the OHSU Knight Cancer Institute, and the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia, all NCI comprehensive cancer centers. With MD Anderson, UT Southwestern, and Mayo Clinic also NCCN member institutions. These are among the nation's leading referral destinations for complex oncology care and liver-directed therapy. By adding institutions with this level of academic influence and referral reach, we are building a network that supports both near-term growth and long-term leadership in metastatic uveal melanoma and in the additional indications we intend to pursue. Beyond activating new centers, we are focused on increasing physician awareness and consideration of PHP for appropriate patients through targeted medical education, peer-to-peer engagement, and continued evidence generation. New patient starts remained solid in the second quarter, averaging approximately 0.5 new patients per site per month.
Because patients typically receive a series of HEPZATO treatments over up to three quarters, second quarter starts generate volume that flows into the back half of the year and support our full year revenue outlook. The data from the CHOPIN trial, a randomized phase II study published in "The Lancet Oncology" earlier this year, continues to accelerate broader adoption of combination approaches at leading centers. At ASCO this year, investigators from Moffitt Cancer Center presented a trials in progress abstract describing an ongoing phase II study of HEPZATO followed by tebentafusp in HLA-A2 positive patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. We believe this and future planned combination therapy trials will be critical to moving HEPZATO more consistently to a co-first-line setting.
Turning to clinical development beyond metastatic uveal melanoma, we remain confident in HEPZATO KIT's potential in other liver-dominant cancers, we continue to work with investigators to generate supporting data. At ESMO Breast Cancer in May 2026, independent investigators presented a retrospective analysis of 15 heavily pretreated patients with liver-dominant metastatic breast cancer treated with percutaneous hepatic perfusion. Nine of the 15 patients showed a hepatic partial response, supporting further evaluation of this approach in that setting. Turning to our sponsored trials. In our sponsored phase II trial in metastatic colorectal cancer, we now have 13 centers actively screening. Consistent with the acceleration we anticipated on our last call, recruitment has improved as we have added sites and applied specialized training and streamlined onboarding. We estimate that approximately 6,000 to 10,000 U.S. patients annually have liver-dominant disease in the third-line setting.
In HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, we recently dosed the first patient at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan. Six sites are activated in screening with additional sites in the activation process. We estimate a similar-sized addressable population in this indication. Beyond these two programs, we continue to evaluate additional liver-dominant indications through our scientific advisory board and physician feedback. We are preparing for pre-IND meetings with the FDA later this year to discuss new potential indications. Based on our first half results and trends early in the third quarter, we are raising our full-year revenue guidance. Sandra will take you through the numbers and our updated outlook. Sandra?
Thank you, Gerard. Total revenue in the second quarter of 2026 was $29.1 million, compared with $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. This includes $27.1 million of HEPZATO KIT revenue and $2 million of CHEMOSAT revenue. This represents 17% sequential HEPZATO volume growth over the first quarter and 30% volume growth versus the same period in 2025. Turning to 2026 guidance, we are increasing our full-year revenue guidance to range from $104 million-$108 million, which reflects at least a 28% growth in HEPZATO KIT volume over 2025. Our decision to raise guidance is driven primarily by first half performance, particularly the pace of new patient starts. We've also modestly reduced the seasonal step-down we had assumed for the third and fourth quarters.
A part of last year's seasonality came from centers operating with a single REMS certified treatment team, where staff absences translated directly into lost treatment capacity. We have since worked with centers to train backup teams, including some of our highest volume sites, which should ease that constraint. Enrollment in ongoing clinical trials during 2025 reduced the number of patients available for our treatment. Gross margin for the quarter was 90%, compared to 86% in the second quarter of 2025. We are guiding to full-year 2026 gross margin between 86%-89%, we also expect to report positive adjusted EBITDA for the full year. Research and development expense in the second quarter was $10.4 million, compared to $6.9 million in the prior year quarter, driven primarily by continued investment in our clinical organization and ongoing phase II trials.
Selling, general, and administrative expense in the second quarter was $13.4 million, compared to $11.4 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting our investment into continued commercial expansion and increasing marketing activities. Net income for the second quarter in both 2026 and 2025 was $2.7 million. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $7.6 million compared to $9.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. We ended the quarter with cash and investments of $95.9 million. Cash provided by operations was $5.7 million in the quarter, and we purchased a small amount of common shares in the second quarter under the company's approved $25 million share buyback program. To date, we have purchased approximately $9 million worth of common shares. I want to thank you all for participating today, and I'll ask the operator to open the lines for Q&A. Thank you.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we now begin the question-and-answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star followed by number one on your telephone keypad. If your question has been answered and you would like to withdraw from the queue, please press star followed by the number two. If you're using a speakerphone, please lift your hand before pressing any keys. One moment, please, while we compile the roster. Your first question comes from Marie Thibault with Bancorp BTIG. Please go ahead.
Hi. Thank you for taking the questions. I wanted to ask a question here just sort of on the referral pathway and some of the efforts I know that you've been making on the commercial side. Wanted to understand how the referral network efforts have been progressing. I know you've been working on it for a few quarters. Are there ways to sort of describe the outreach that you've been making to the medical oncologists that is translating into incremental new patient starts? Second, I'll just ask my follow-up here. I wanted to follow up, I think there was an effort to try to mitigate summer seasonality, get second treatment teams trained at various centers. Just an update on how that has been progressing as well. Thanks for taking the questions.
Sure, Marie. Good to hear from you. In terms of the referral network, I would say about a third of the referral network is a static network, and that is within the institutions we are currently part of, any oncology networks that are part of that. There, we know who the oncologists are. They have a meaningful number of patients. Meaningful could be two, three, four, but on a relatively consistent basis. The other part of the referral network, and probably should be kind of called a just-in-time referral, are the many, many doctors who just get one patient. Now, many of those patients eventually make their way to one of our treating sites or one of our targeted sites that will open in the next one month to two years as we continue to expand. Many of those are not.
What we have to do is find them in real time if we want to get them first line, if we don't want to lose patients who progress too quickly. Our efforts there right now are multifaceted. Can you hear me? Can everyone hear me?
We lost you for a while, Gerard. We lost you for a minute.
Okay. All right. Where did you lose me? The perils of cell phones.
We were just past kind of talking about those folks that only see one patient. We got a little bit past that.
What we need to do is get a just-in-time network is the kind of the term I'm using internally with the team. Right now we're using claims data. That lags, but we generally know patients who've been recently diagnosed. Recently could be anywhere from one month to six months, given claims lags. We try to get in front of those doctors a number of different ways. We'd like to do better than that. We're investigating the use of other forms of data that are refreshed more frequently. That's not in place yet, but we will get it in place. We recognize that we have a higher hill to climb in terms of execution than something like an Immunocore, in that community oncologists can't use our product. We have definitive plan. We are definitely working that right now.
We are actively finding patients who've had a recent biopsy and stuff, and we're working to improve that over time. It is and will be a core part of our strategy. Your second question was about training additional docs at centers.
Yes.
We've had several centers that I think our efforts led to backup teams. At least one or more of those are very high-volume centers that it was critical to do that in. I wouldn't say that we have backup teams everywhere we would like to. A meaningful percentage of our volume now is covered by centers with backup teams.
Thank you so much.
Thank you. Your next question comes from John Newman with Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. Really nice execution on the quarter. I have a couple of questions here. I'm curious as to how much of the increased guidance for the year could be related to better uptake excuse me, due to the CHOPIN data. Also wondering if you can discuss your enrollment expectations for both colorectal and the breast cancer studies. And I'm wondering with those two studies, if you are able to utilize overlap between existing centers that are already using HEPZATO for liver mets due to uveal melanoma. Thank you.
All right. First part of your question, in terms of how much of the increase is from CHOPIN, it's all anecdotal. The data, the claims data's rather thin. For some reason, our claims data comes in very slow relative to other treatments. Our anecdotal experience is that more and more of these patients are getting combination therapy, and that's undoubtedly a result of the CHOPIN data. In terms of site recruitment, which I think was your third question, we're not going to give guidance on that. I think the only guidance we're going to give is that we expect an interim readout for colorectal sometime late next year, and we're not providing guidance on breast. We are encouraged by both an uptick in both trials in terms of site activation enrollment. There was a second question there, embarrassed to say I lost it.
Could you remind me, John, what it was?
Sure. Just curious if you're able to utilize existing centers that are using HEPZATO in terms of also signing them up for enrollment with breast and colorectal cancer.
Yeah, I would say the majority of centers in the U.S. Already REMS activated for MUM. In Europe, it's a lower percentage. We're actually activating some new centers. Can you guys hear me? I got another message that audio dropped.
We can hear you.
Okay. All right. We also have a number of, in Europe, it's a smaller number of percentage of centers that were MUM centers. I'd say, maybe 60/40 existing centers and new centers in the trial.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Thank you. Your next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead.
Good morning. Congrats on a really nice quarter, and thanks for taking the questions. Just wanted to dig in a little bit more on the implied second half in your guidance. If we look at that, it assumes a pretty meaningful slowdown still. With that in mind, can you just maybe talk through exactly when you started seeing that softness in new patient starts last year? What you've seen so far through July, early August. Have you seen any green shoots from some of the programs that you put in place to try to train additional treatment teams, et cetera?
Without going into specific numbers, I will say, Chase, that the bulk of our increase in guidance is due to an impressive first half of the year. We have tempered the downturn we expect in the second half, partly due to, frankly, less demand from clinical trials. The second part is really just a two-week lead. We only have a two to three-week vision idea of what's going to happen going forward. It looks reasonably strong, so we've tempered the overall seasonality as well. I would say the bulk of our increase in guidance is based on our performance in the first half of the year. As you well know, new patient starts drive business over two to three more quarters.
Fair to say that we haven't seen, to date, the same kind of softness in new patient starts, at least yet. Just second follow-up would just be the visibility that you have the center adds in the back half of the year here, and how you're thinking about that year-end target.
Yeah. I'll ask Kevin in a moment to comment on how we feel about the additional six centers. In terms of it's fair to say we haven't seen the softness yet, this is about when we saw it last year. We kind of two-week look forward at this point, it dropped dramatically. No, we haven't seen that yet. Again, I think I want to caution listeners that we don't have a very long forward-looking visibility into these things. It's about two to three weeks. This time last year, we saw some softness in that two-to-three week period. We're not seeing that quite yet. That's only two to three weeks. Kevin?
Yes, thanks, Gerard, and thanks for the question, Chase. We are looking kind of strong for the number of new sites that we're bringing on. We kind of get them in bits and starts when training is completed. We have a number of sites that are in the queue to get our preceptorship and proctorship, and it's just a matter of time until they open for the remainder of the year. I feel very strong that we can attain toward the goal of 37.
Yeah, our goal of 37, my friend. I also would say, I think we have at least one patient scheduled, maybe two right now, and then one more looking for patients. Patients can get scheduled, that one I mentioned. These are on the cusp, and what we've found is the on-the-cusp ones can go in weeks, they can go in months. There's a healthy on-deck circle here. The 37 is well within our reach. Fingers crossed a bit, as we know it's episodic, but it's not a soft pipeline.
Helpful color, guys. Thank you.
Thank you. Your next question comes from Sam Pankula, RM account with H.C. Wainwright. Please go ahead.
Thank you. This is RK from H.C. Wainwright. Good morning, Gerard and Chandler.
Morning.
A couple of quick questions here. I'm trying to bridge the gap between the 30% HEPZATO volume growth and the 20-some% revenue growth. How much of that gap is from 340B or Medicaid or just the site mix? The second question is on the gross margin. You exited last quarter with 90%.
Your guidance asks for a little bit lower than that for the full year. Is that basically coming from the top line, or is there something else that's going on?
Sandra?
Yes, I can answer both questions with regard to the Q2 volume as well as the revenue from prior years. Reminder that 340B pricing, which reduced our effective ASP from about $185 down to about $170,000, $173,000 per kit this year versus what we recognized last year. Even though revenue is only up 21%, it's actually representative of 30% volume. 100% of that difference between those two figures is due to 340B. With regards to gross margin, yes, we had a great quarter in Q2, recognizing 90%, which is up from 86% a year ago and is above our original guidance of 85%-87% for the full year. The Q2 improvement reflects better overhead absorption, favorable manufacturing performance, and obviously increased HEPZATO volume. As we go into the remainder of the year, we do have to be a bit conservative around additional manufacturing costs.
The full year is 86%-89%. We may see a quarter that dips a little bit below that 90% and one that hits 90% again. That's our current guide.
Thank you. Thank you, Sandra, for taking the questions.
Thank you.
Thank you. Your next question comes from Yael Jin with Leo & Company. Please go ahead.
Good morning. Thanks for taking questions, and congrats on a good quarter performance. We have two here. The first one is that I noticed your recent deck in terms of the type of cancer that metastasized to liver, you have 8 of them. Just curious initially why you choose the breast cancer and the CRC, given they are not necessarily the highest volume or other factors. Any thoughts of that when you made that decision? I have a follow-up.
That's a great question. We started the conversations as to those two trials probably a good two years ago. For CRC, there's a large amount of liver-dominant cancer. It's probably the largest outside of primary. The setting we chose, third line, is not the largest. It's actually quite a bit cut down from the overall population of patients with liver-dominant cancer, the CRC patients. The reason we chose that, frankly, was when oncologists and, to a lesser extent, IRs who are fairly unfamiliar with our therapy, when we were having conversations about where to start, that's where we got traction. Now, I don't want people to think, "Well, that's a big negative." This is a very novel procedure.
Oncologists generally prefer systemics, I think the data as we generate it will bear out, the oncologists will change their perception, first in terms of trials they want to participate in, then eventually, obviously, actual commercial clinical usage. In terms of breast cancer, that one is a bit less, admittedly, there was real interest in oncologists in terms of participating in that trial. It's been slow to enroll and get started, there were a couple of key KOLs who thought there was a real need here. Various types of breast cancer tumors generally react well to chemotherapy, so that was one reason a number of docs were excited. These were the starting sets where we could get traction with oncologists being interested. Who knows? If we started now with the level of understanding we have out there, would it be a different set?
We had to start somewhere. I think these are meaningful markets for us, there's a real unmet need in these settings. We'll add more, some orphan type indications and some much larger indications going forward.
Okay, great. That's very helpful. Maybe just to tack on that from the similar themes, which is the, with the current patient enrollment of those two trials, are they within your expectation or you have different sorts of hope in terms of the pace and other factors? Thanks.
Definitely lower than our expectations. There are a number of reasons for that. I think one not so obvious reason is that just as we had to get sites REMS certified and up and running, we had that issue with new centers. We also had to educate the clinical trial teams, we found that getting the IR teams, which are less set up for clinical trials, to work with the oncology teams, which are very familiar with trials, they're not familiar with this type of therapy, getting those teams to work together with the new patient flow, the type of data we need to gather in the IR suite, it was very new to them. Quite frankly, a number of centers that we thought would quickly activate, enroll, we got the disparate teams together, it became an issue.
With the dimension of change in training, we did not anticipate would be a problem in the clinical trial setting. Just as in the commercial setting, there was a hill to climb that we kind of understood we'd have to do when we started. It was bigger hill than we thought. Finally found the same thing in the clinical trial. Getting the clinical trial teams to work together in this type of trial was a problem. We lost some centers because of it, undoubtedly. The bigger issue was just centers taking a while to get up and running. Again, interesting product, different type of product. We're working through the issues just as we have commercially. We're going to work through the issues on the clinical side as well.
Okay, great. This is very helpful, and certainly congrats on all the progress, and best of luck to you guys.
Thank you. There are no further questions on the phone line. I will turn the call back to Mr. Michel for some closing remarks.
Okay. Just want to thank everyone for their support, both the investors as well as the internal team here at Delcath. We're getting a lot done, and it wouldn't be if it wasn't for the employees of the company who are very dedicated to move things forward for patients and to earn the trust of the investors. Thank you very much for your time, and have a great day.
Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes your conference call for today. We thank you for participating and ask that you please disconnect your lines. Have a great day

Gerard, please proceed. Gerard Michel: Thank you, David, and welcome, everyone. We've had a very successful first quarter marked by 4-centre activations and record new patient starts in the first quarter, both of which are core growth drivers for the business. In addition, we continue to advance numerous commercial and medical initiatives to ensure the long-term growth of HEPZATO with a strong focus on a third critical growth driver, building referral networks to quickly connect eligible patients with treating centers. To support center activations, increased utilization at existing centers and expanded referral patterns, we have nearly completed our U.S. commercial expansion into 9 regions. In addition, the expanded MSL team is fully trained and in the field, educating physicians about metastatic uveal melanoma with a focus on the CHOPIN results. As of today, we have 29 REMS-certified sites, and we are in active discussions with over 50 potential new centers. And 38 of these centers have had one or more members of a potential treatment team take the time to travel and be preceptive. While not all of these centers will be activated and the practice can take over a year in some cases, there is clearly broad-based interest in this therapy, which bodes well for the long-term growth of the business. As we note on every call, it is very difficult to predict pacing. And given where we are at this point in the year, we are modifying our year-end activated center build to 37 active centers with 40 active center treatment centers sometime in the first quarter of 2027. In patient center activation, we are focused on changing prescribing patterns by expanding the set of appropriate patients that treating teams consider for PHP through education, fostering peer-to-peer conversations and evidence generation. First quarter 2026 new patient starts per site have tracked at or slightly higher than the first quarter of 2025 at approximately 0.7 new patients per site per month. New patient starts contribute to revenue over subsequent quarters as patients receive a series of treatments. We expect the strong first quarter new patient starts to offset the reduced site activation pace. Based on conversations with some treating physicians, we know that the publication of the CHOPIN results in Lancet Oncology is already changing treatment patterns at certain centers. One piece of publicly available anecdotal evidence is the recent webinar hosted by the patient advocacy group at Kurinsight, during which Dr. Sid Padia, an interventional radiologist from UCLA, shared his experience treating metastatic uveal melanoma patients with HEPZATO. Some of the patients Dr. Padia is treating with PHP are also being treated with immunotherapy. And he noted on the webinar that his results with these patients are consistent with or perhaps superior in the positive results reported from the CHOPIN trial. As a reminder, CHOPIN response rates improved from approximately 40% with HEPZATO alone to about 76% when HEPZATO was combined with immunotherapy, including some cases of complete response. The combination arm demonstrated a survival benefit with a clear separation between survival curves of both 1 and 2 years. Dr. Padia characterized these study results as extremely encouraging and consistent with his clinical experience. Many metastatic uveal melanoma patients are managed outside REMS-certified centers. So earlier identification and streamlined referral processes are essential. One important approach to enhancing referral patterns is to use multiple data sources to identify physicians treating newly diagnosed metastatic patients and promptly connect these patients with a suitable HEPZATO treatment center. As these networks mature, we expect referrals to be an important driver of new patient starts across our footprint. I now would like to turn to our clinical development programs. In our ongoing metastatic colorectal cancer trial, we continue to activate new trial sites and now have a total of 13 centers who can actively screen CRC patients. We have implemented specialized training modules and streamlined onboarding processes to continue to accelerate site readiness and ensure protocol adherence. We are on track to activate nearly all of the currently targeted 26 trial sites by the end of this year and anticipate presenting interim results in late 2027. To date, we have enrolled 7 patients. While this pace has been slower than initially anticipated, we believe the program is picking up momentum. Our second program in metastatic breast cancer now has 4 clinical trial sites that are prepared to screen patients with additional sites opening soon. Since breast cancer physicians typically have less experience with liver-directed therapies compared to those treating metastatic colorectal cancer, we are conducting targeted education and outreach initiatives to increase awareness of HEPZATO's potential benefit to patients with metastatic breast cancer. We are targeting 15 trial sites and expect to activate them by late 2026. We will provide guidance related to the readouts from this trial later this year as operational progress supports more precise forecasting. We are seeing growing interest in HEPZATO beyond colorectal and breast cancer and are exploring clinical trial designs into additional indications, guided by physician input and advisory board feedback. Based on the results of the CHOPIN trial, there is strong enthusiasm from the medical community to investigate a CHOPIN-like combination regimen to treat liver involvement in patients with a variety of solid tumor types. I look forward to sharing updates on these plans later in the year. I will now ask Sandra to review our financial results. Sandra Pennell: Thank you, Gerard. Total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $25 million compared with $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. This included $23.3 million of HEPZATO KIT revenue and $1.7 million of CHEMOSAT revenue. Gross margin for the quarter was 85% compared to 86% in the first quarter of 2025. Research and development expenses in the first quarter was $9.8 million compared to $5 million in the prior quarter, driven primarily by continued investment in our clinical organization and the ongoing Phase II trial. Selling, general and administrative expense in the first quarter was $13.1 million compared to $11.3 million in the prior year quarter. This reflects our investment into the continued commercial expansion and increased marketing activities. Net loss for the first quarter was $1.1 million compared to net income of $1.1 million in the prior year first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $3.4 million compared to $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. We ended the quarter with $89.3 million in cash and investments and no debt. Cash provided by operations was $0.9 million in the quarter. We also purchased approximately 300,000 common shares for about $3 million in the first quarter under the company's approved $25 million share buyback program. To date, we have purchased $9 million worth of common shares. Turning to 2026 guidance. We are confident we will achieve total revenue of at least $100 million, which reflects 20% growth in HEPZATO kit volume over 2025. Our guidance takes into account expected seasonal trends in the third and fourth quarters, much like in 2025 when new patient starts rates declined partially due to scheduling challenges. Forecast for 2026 gross margins remain between 85% to 87%, and we now expect to report positive adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the year. I want to thank you all for participating today. This does conclude our prepared remarks, and I'd ask the operator to open the phone lines for Q&A. Operator: [Operator Instructions] Your first question comes from Marie Thibault with BTIG. Marie Thibault: I wanted to ask my first here on the volume you're seeing per site. Certainly encouraging to hear that's more than offsetting kind of the slightly slower pace of activations. So I just want to understand what was driving that. It sounds like perhaps CHOPIN is having a bit of an effect. I know in the past, competing or other trials might have been a distraction. So if you can just tell us a little bit more about some of the dynamics behind driving that higher volume. Gerard Michel: Yes. I think it's primarily CHOPIN as well as new sites come on board. Not all of them, but as some of the new sites come on board, when they see the results, they start increasing their volume. So I think it's both things, what they see in practice and the CHOPIN results as well. Clinical trial headwinds are probably reduced a bit from probably similar time last year. But I think the majority of the effect, as best as I can sort out, is CHOPIN and then doctors just seeing the scans and seeing the tumor shrinkage. Marie Thibault: Great to hear. Simple enough. And then I'll ask a follow-up, I think, for Sandra. When we think about the spending trajectory this year, I recall that it is expected to be higher in 2026 than it was in 2025. Can you just give us any more detail, if you have it at this point, on visibility for cadence of that spending, how you see some of the investments in R&D and commercial expansion unfolding throughout this year? Sandra Pennell: Absolutely. So I know in the previous call, we did mention R&D for full year 2026 would be about a 90% increase over 2025. But based on a little bit of acceleration in the enrollment in both trials, we're likely going to see a full year increase closer to the 70% to 75% over 2025. R&D, we will likely see a decent increase in Q2, about 20% over Q1, and start to level off, but about 10% over the remainder of the year and into the fourth quarter. SG&A, probably about a 60% increase in 2026 over 2025 due to the sales force expansion and just increases in selling costs as we grow. Q2 for SG&A, probably a 10% to 15% increase over Q1 due to those marketing initiatives and then increase just modestly each quarter thereafter. Operator: The next question comes from John Newman with Canaccord. John Newman: Congrats on the continued progress. I just wondered if you could talk a little bit about the factors involved regarding the change to the site addition guidance. Obviously, it looks like that's going to be offset by increased patient volume, which is great. But just curious if you could discuss a little bit the different factors that went into that change there. Gerard Michel: Really, the visibility we have in terms of -- there's always about half a dozen or more sites roughly that look like they could go any week. And so the pipeline is full. I want to make sure that's clear. If I don't have patients that I know are scheduled for treatment or multiple patients going through screening, then I'm a little reluctant to say, hey, I'm going to get a couple of sites in the next month or two. The average pace has been a little over — since we've launched has been, I think, about 1.1, 1.2 per month. But if I don't see sites ready to treat a patient or having one scheduled, then I say, all right, I'm going to have another dry month or two, and I pull that out. So, under that framework, I'm saying, yes, it's more likely we'll be 37. Could it be 38 or 39? Yes. But I think 37 is probably a more likely number. And it's as simple as that. We just don't see anything in the next month or so, so I kind of reduce it. John Newman: And then one quick follow-up. On the CHOPIN data, which I think are really fantastic and should be really beneficial, I'm curious if you're seeing most of the new sites that you're in discussion with kind of citing that as a factor for their enthusiasm, or if it's sort of balanced between new and old sites. I'm just curious if perhaps you're seeing kind of the new sites pick up on this in terms of wanting to get on board with the product? Or is it kind of balanced across older existing sites and the new sites? Gerard Michel: All right. So if you're asking the level of enthusiasm from CHOPIN, I think it's both new and existing. There are some existing sites that have been doing a CHOPIN -like protocol from day one when they became active. And there are others that have moved over to that given the data. I would argue that probably most new sites are planning to do a CHOPIN -like protocol, a combination of immunotherapy and PHP. But Kevin, why don't you chime in? You're a little closer to it than I am in terms of would you say almost all the new sites are going with the CHOPIN? Or is it more 50-50? Kevin Muir: I would say that the majority of them will be going with the CHOPIN -like protocol. We hear a lot about just combination treatments in general, but CHOPIN specifically. Now it is kind of important to note the new sites we have been engaged with for months. As you just pointed out, the site opening process takes a considerable amount of time. So when we talk with these sites as they are bringing us on, there are many conversations between peer-to-peer groups as well as our medical and clinical team as well. So everyone is well versed in the CHOPIN -type protocol. And so I would anticipate the majority of them that are coming on in the future will embrace that. Operator: The next question comes from Sudan Loganathan with Stephens. Sudan Loganathan: My first question is regarding the ESMO breast cancer data that you also provided. I noticed that the adverse event profile showed some Grade 3/4 adverse events in about 8% of patients. Additionally, the median overall survival is around 6 months for untreated liver metastatic breast cancer patients, or maybe around the 4- to 5-month range. So just kind of curious on how you're viewing this first set of data for this indication and how this kind of dictates how you go forward? Gerard Michel: Yes. These were all very heavily pretreated patients. And I think probably one of the most important parts of the data is -- although the adverse event profile you mentioned may seem high to oncologists, these events are easily managed and all are resolvable. I think there's not much that can be done for these types of patients that were treated. So I think we're quite happy with the data and glad it's there to help improve recruitment, site activation and recruitment in the clinical trial. I'll ask Vojislav, is there any other commentary you want to add regarding those results? Vojislav Vukovic: Yes, sure. So thanks for the question. In addition to the comments that Gerard made, I'd like to point out that the patients who were treated with HEPZATO in this data review received a median of four prior systemic treatments. That means they have been receiving multiple chemotherapies and many, if not most, of the patients have residual toxicities. So these are not the patients that we have treated before in the FOCUS or Phase III trial, which are typically very little pretreatment or no pretreatment at all. So the safety profile depends also on the line of treatment in which you administer PHP. And regarding your comment about the survival, these are patients with breast cancer and they develop liver metastases. Typically, that's the final stage of the disease where patients have just a few months of life left. So seeing 6 months is actually, in that context, not so bad. And doctors expressed a great deal of satisfaction when we talk to them about being able to manage this very difficult stage of the disease. Sudan Loganathan: I appreciate the details. And then additionally, I just wanted to ask, even as we go into the second half of this year, could we still anticipate a few other data readouts or just other updates on either breast cancer or colorectal cancer indications going forward? Gerard Michel: Yes. There's not going to be any data readouts. I mean we'll keep you apprised of how the trials are proceeding in terms of open sites and patients. But there won't be any data readouts from us. As you know, the product has been on the market as a stand-alone device in Europe for over a decade. And often data comes out that we don't know investigators or clinicians have submitted for a poster presentation or publication. So could something else come out? Yes, but not from the company. Operator: The next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Jacob Soucheray: This is Jake on for Chase. Just first, regarding the goal of 40 sites by the first quarter of 2027, for the incremental 11 sites, how much are you relying on the three new sales territories? And what are you seeing from the funnel there? Gerard Michel: Yes. The territories are not new geographies, okay? So we are just slicing the existing territories from 4 to 6 to 9 into smaller territories, so there's more concentrated effort. So there's no particular territory. I think the reason to increase -- there's no particular region where we're going to get more business. As sites are opened, it takes effort to manage open sites. So, to maintain the same level of effort in terms of activating the sites and the same pace of activating the sites, we have to put more bodies in the field. Now these are very experienced reps, bodies. But we have to put more experienced people out there to manage the existing accounts and to maintain the same level of site activation effort. Jacob Soucheray: Okay. And then on guidance, just on a run rate basis, you're already at the $100 million floor just with this quarter. What are your assumptions for the remaining 3 quarters for revenue? Gerard Michel: Yes. Well the assumptions, as I mentioned before, are that we will see the same seasonal impact we saw in the third and fourth quarter of last year. Now we could be wrong there. In hindsight, it could very well be that we're being overly conservative. But we have a very small end in terms of understanding to what extent seasonality will impact things. There are certain aspects of the seasonality that we think we can address and are trying to address. The specific one that we are trying to handle is if at an important center, there is only one full treatment team, let's say there's only one IR or there's only one anesthesiologist who's trained. If they go on vacation, by definition, the capacity has dropped at that center. So, we have implemented a special incentive to the sales force. If you get a second treatment team trained up and going, there will be something in it for the rep. That is yielding some additional backup treatment teams. And I'm hopeful that, that will offset some of the seasonality we saw. There's also seasonality, I think, by patients deciding in certain times of the year, they would rather not be treated. They'll postpone treatment or postpone getting started. That is difficult for us to impact. But for those aspects we can impact, specifically maintaining capacity in terms of training teams, we're doing what we can. But again, getting back to the core of your question, what assumptions are we utilizing given we're already at a run rate to hit guidance, we're assuming we see the same level of seasonality as last year. And again, that might be overly conservative. But I think it's best to guide that way and also to be clear about our assumptions underlying the guidance. Operator: The next question comes from John Newman. John Newman: I had a question about the recent data that you were just discussing earlier on the breast cancer work that was done in Europe. It was interesting, I noticed that the median number of cycles was 1. And I'm wondering if you think that's representative of what we'll see going forward when you test this treatment in perhaps a different set of breast cancer patients and also whether that median cycle may have just been limited by either patient survival or just physicians that maybe hadn't had a lot of experience with the treatment. Gerard Michel: Yes. I will note that the clinical protocol calls for 2 treatments. So I would think that would be the median when the trial reads out. In terms of why they only received one, I have some theories, but let me ask Vojislav to comment. Vojislav Vukovic: Yes. As Gerard mentioned, this was not a prospective trial. This is basically reflecting data from real-world clinical practice. And the practicing physicians were probably making decisions which they thought in the absence of any guiding data are the best for the patients. So just to remind you, these are heavily pretreated patients with a median of 4 prior treatments, quite exhausted with lots of residual toxicities. And I think physicians were probably being cautious and trying to manage the disease, perhaps not to achieve the best possible efficacy, but rather to control the disease and prolong patients' lives, which will be typical the treatment goal after first or second line. So I think that the median number of cycles simply reflects the different treatment objective compared to if you treat patients at an earlier stage in the patient journey. Operator: The next question comes from Yale Jen with Needham & Company. Yale Jen: You refer in the press release that you have 36% volume growth year-over-year of the same quarter. I just wonder whether if you compare to the fourth quarter of last year, what that readout might be? And then I have a follow-up. Gerard Michel: Sandra, do you have the quarter-on-quarter growth off the top of your head? Sandra, you might be on mute. Sandra Pennell: You're correct. I was on mute. I want to say we're mid-20% volume growth from Q1 2026 over Q4 2025. Yale Jen: Okay. Great. That's very helpful. Maybe just a follow-up here that we know that the referral, obviously, is the long-term sort of expansion sources. And so we know that you guys already started the process. And just curious what will be the measurement or other sort of follow-up to track how the referral track is being done and improvements if needed, so on and so forth. So any color on that front? Gerard Michel: Yes. It's interesting that you asked that question because it's something I've grappled with Kevin. Just what we want to do is incentivize our oncology managers to get the referrals going. It is somewhat difficult to know when the patient shows up at the center because obviously, we have the compliance. You can't exactly quiz the doctor on where did this patient come from that sort of thing. So, it's difficult to know, hey, did our referral process lead to this specific patient. We definitely know of cases, many, many cases where the work of the oncology manager resulted in a patient ending up at one of our treating centers. So, it is working. In terms of measuring it on a specific metric, we're grappling with that an accurate metric. We're grappling with that ourselves. How do we follow that. We have some ideas. But right now, I can't point to a specific way we're going to measure that. And it's unlikely that we're going to be able to tell you ever get to the point where we can say, hey, X percent of our patients or the rate of referral is Y per site. I don't think we'll ever get there. Because again, it's HIPAA compliant, you can't quiz the docs, but we're focused very, very much on it. Operator: The next question comes from Charles Wallace with H.C. Wainwright. Charles Wallace: This is Charles on for RK from H.C. Wainwright. So, the first question I have is, I was curious for the CHOPIN publication in the ESMO clinical practice guidelines, are you seeing these 2 publications translate into increased physician adoption in Europe? I know it's a little early, but should we expect kind of that to grow in 2026 from these? Gerard Michel: Yes. I think the European growth is significantly hampered by reimbursement issues. I think many centers in Europe are doing a combination type regime. But to be frank, a lot of European oncologists are less aggressive than they are in the U.S. But I can't really comment as to whether or not I think is it going to grow to increase revenue in Europe over the long-term, certainly. For this particular year, I think we just have to assume that we're going to see probably modest single-digit growth in Europe. What will change that is getting reimbursement in the U.K., which we've been working on for quite a while as well as establishing commercial businesses in Spain, France and Italy, and we're working hard on that as well. In terms of the overall impact on the business, given the price point in Europe, I wouldn't just call it a rounding error, certainly, but it's a plus or minus 10% thing on EBITDA for the business. It's not a huge driver. But we're focused on Europe, as I've mentioned before, primarily at least for the short to medium-term as areas where we can generate data. The drug is approved, the device is approved to deliver melittin to the liver. It is not tied to a specific tumor type. Now most of the usage is in uveal melanoma because that's where most of the data is. But it's a great place to generate run IITs and generate data in other tumor types. So right now, Europe's importance is generation of data. We manage it on a breakeven basis. At some point, we may relaunch the product as a combination drug device as a HEPZATO and try to reset the price point, but that's many, many years down the road. Charles Wallace: I guess one more follow-up for me. So, on the pipeline for mCRC, I think you mentioned that there's 13 sites, but it's been slower-than-expected enrollment with -- I think you said 7 patients. So, I was just curious when you expect enrollment to pick up and ultimately complete for this study? Gerard Michel: Sure. Vojislav, you mind taking that? Vojislav Vukovic: Sure. You're correct. We have opened 13 sites, and we have enrolled thus far 7 patients. Based on the momentum that we've observed over the last several months, we feel confident that the momentum, both in terms of site openings and patient screening and enrollment is picking up. So, we believe that enrollment will proceed in this year and next year and that we'll be able to share interim results publicly by the end of next year, '27. Operator: Thank you. We have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. And this concludes today's conference, and you may now disconnect your lines. Thank you all for your participation.

Delcath Systems Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Delcath Systems, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Delcath said Q1 was driven by commercial momentum—four U.S. center activations, record new patient starts and 29 REMS‑certified sites—with management attributing higher utilization to CHOPIN data and trimming its year‑end target to 37 active centers (40 by Q1 2027). Financially, Q1 revenue rose to $25.0 million (from $19.8M a year earlier) with an 85% gross margin, a $1.1M net loss, $89.3M in cash, and management reiterated 2026 revenue guidance of at least $100 million while expecting positive adjusted EBITDA for the rest of the year. On the clinical front, the mCRC trial has 13 active screening centers (targeting 26) with seven patients enrolled and interim readout expected in late 2027, the breast cancer program is targeting 15 sites by late 2026, and published CHOPIN results showed response rates rising from ~40% with HEPZATO alone to ~76% when combined with immunotherapy. Delcath Systems (NASDAQ:DCTH) reported first-quarter 2026 revenue growth and reiterated its full-year outlook, while updating expectations for U.S. treatment-center activations and outlining progress across ongoing clinical programs. Executives pointed to record new patient starts and the impact of recently published CHOPIN data as key drivers of momentum for HEPZATO adoption. Chief Executive Officer Gerard Michel said the first quarter was “marked by four center activations and record new patient starts,” calling those metrics core growth drivers. He added that the company is advancing commercial and medical initiatives intended to support long-term growth of HEPZATO, including “building referral networks to quickly connect eligible patients to treating centers.” → Berkshire Hathaway’s Record Cash Hoard: Why and What's Next? Michel said the company has “nearly completed” its U.S. commercial expansion into nine regions, and that an expanded medical science liaison (MSL) team is now “fully trained and in the field educating physicians about metastatic uveal melanoma with a focus on the CHOPIN results.” As of the call, Delcath had 29 REMS-certified sites and was in active discussions with “over 50 potential new centers,” according to Michel. He also noted that 38 prospective centers have had at least one potential team member travel for preceptorship training, while cautioning that not all will activate and that “t…Read full documentShow less

He also noted that 38 prospective centers have had at least one potential team member travel for preceptorship training, while cautioning that not all will activate and that “the process can take over one year in some cases.” → A Prada Payday: Is AMC Back in Style? Given pacing uncertainty, Michel said Delcath is modifying its year-end goal to “37 active centers with 40 active treatment centers sometime in the first quarter of 2027,” downshifting from prior expectations as the company looked for clearer visibility into when sites would be ready to treat patients. In response to analyst questions, Michel said the company’s pipeline remains “full,” but he is reluctant to forecast near-term activations without confirmation that patients are scheduled or in screening. “If I don’t see anything in the next month or so I kinda reduce it,” he said. → Insider Sales: Top AST SpaceMobile Insider Cuts Postion Over 30% Beyond site count, management emphasized utilization trends. Michel said first-quarter new patient starts per site were “at or slightly higher than the first quarter of 2025 at approximately 0.7 new patients per site per month,” adding that patients typically receive a series of treatments that contribute to revenue over subsequent quarters. Michel and commercial chief Kevin Muir attributed much of the higher utilization to CHOPIN data and growing real-world confidence among physicians. Michel said, “I think it’s primarily CHOPIN,” also noting that doctors are seeing “the scans and seeing the tumor shrinkage.” Muir added that the “majority” of new sites are expected to use “a CHOPIN-like protocol,” referring to combination treatment approaches. Michel said Delcath is working to improve referral patterns by identifying physicians treating newly diagnosed metastatic patients and connecting them with a suitable HEPZATO center. However, he acknowledged challenges in measuring referral performance due to HIPAA constraints, saying the company is “grappling” with how to track it with a specific metric. Michel said publication of CHOPIN results in The Lancet Oncology is already changing treatment patterns at certain centers. He cited a webinar hosted by patient advocacy group A Cure in Sight in which UCLA interventional radiologist Dr. Siddharth Padia discussed treating metastatic uveal melanoma patients with HEPZATO, including patients also receiving immunotherapy. As a reminder of the study’s findings discussed on the call, Michel said CHOPIN response rates improved from “approximately 40% with HEPZATO alone to about 76% when HEPZATO was combined with immunotherapy,” including some complete responses. He also said the combination arm demonstrated a survival benefit with “a clear separation between survival curves at both 1 and 2 years,” and that Dr. Padia described the results as “extremely encouraging” and consistent with his clinical experience. Michel provided updates on two ongoing trials outside metastatic uveal melanoma. Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC): Delcath has activated additional trial sites and now has “a total of 13 centers who can actively screen CRC patients.” Michel said the company is targeting 26 trial sites and is “on track to activate nearly all” by year-end 2026, anticipating interim results in late 2027. To date, seven patients have been enrolled, which Michel said is slower than anticipated but “picking up momentum.” Chief Medical Officer Vojislav Vukovic said the company expects enrollment to proceed through this year and next year, with interim results shared publicly “by the end of next year, 2027.” Metastatic breast cancer: Michel said four clinical trial sites are prepared to screen patients, with additional sites opening soon. The company is targeting 15 trial sites and expects to activate them by late 2026. Michel said Delcath will provide guidance on timing of readouts later in the year as operational progress supports more precise forecasting. On breast cancer data referenced by analysts, Michel said the results reflected heavily pretreated patients and that adverse events, while potentially appearing high “to the untutored,” were “easily managed and all are resolvable.” Vukovic added that patients in the data review had received a median of four prior systemic treatments and likely carried residual toxicities, noting that safety depends on the line of therapy in which the procedure is used. Addressing questions about the median overall survival cited by an analyst, Vukovic said that for breast cancer patients who develop liver metastases, it is often “the final stage of the disease where patients have just a few months of life left,” adding, “Seeing six months is actually…not so bad,” and that physicians expressed satisfaction with being able to manage that disease stage. Regarding the number of treatment cycles in European real-world breast cancer experience, Michel noted that the clinical protocol calls for two treatments and said he would expect that to be the median when the prospective trial reads out. Vukovic characterized the European data as “real world clinical practice,” where physicians may have been cautious and focused on controlling disease and prolonging life in heavily pretreated patients. Michel also said Delcath is seeing interest beyond colorectal and breast cancer and is exploring additional trial designs based on physician input and advisory board feedback, including “a CHOPIN-like combination regimen” across other solid tumors with liver involvement. Chief Financial Officer Sandra Pennell said first-quarter 2026 total revenue was $25.0 million, up from $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenue included $23.3 million of HEPZATO KIT revenue and $1.7 million of CHEMOSAT revenue. Gross margin was 85%, compared to 86% a year earlier. Operating expenses rose as Delcath increased investment in both clinical and commercial initiatives. Research and development expense was $9.8 million versus $5.0 million in the prior quarter, driven by “continued investment in our clinical organization and the ongoing phase II trial,” Pennell said. Selling, general and administrative expense was $13.1 million, up from $11.3 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting “continued commercial expansion and increased marketing activities.” Delcath posted a net loss of $1.1 million, compared with net income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million versus $7.6 million a year earlier. The company ended the quarter with $89.3 million in cash and investments and no debt. Cash provided by operations was $0.9 million. Pennell also said Delcath repurchased about 300,000 common shares for approximately $3.0 million during the quarter under its $25 million buyback program, bringing total repurchases to $9.0 million to date. For 2026, Pennell reiterated guidance for total revenue of at least $100 million, which she said reflects 20% growth in HEPZATO KIT volume over 2025. Guidance assumes seasonal trends in the second half similar to 2025, when new patient start rates declined “partially due to scheduling challenges.” Gross margin guidance remains 85% to 87%, and Pennell said the company now expects to report positive adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the year. Asked about the impact of CHOPIN’s inclusion in clinical practice guidelines and potential European adoption, Michel said growth in Europe is “significantly hampered” by reimbursement issues. He said Delcath is assuming “modest single-digit growth in Europe” for 2026, and pointed to the importance of securing reimbursement in the U.K. and establishing commercial businesses in Spain, France, and Italy. Michel added that Europe’s near- to medium-term importance is largely in data generation, noting that the device is approved to deliver melphalan to the liver and is “not tied to a specific tumor type.” He said the company manages Europe “on a break-even basis,” and suggested a potential longer-term relaunch as a combination drug-device product could reset pricing, though he described that as “many, many years down the road.” Delcath Systems, Inc is a specialty pharmaceutical and medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of its proprietary Hepatic CHEMOSAT® Delivery System, designed to deliver high-dose chemotherapeutic agents directly to the liver while minimizing systemic exposure. The company's core technology performs isolated hepatic perfusion, enabling oncologists to administer concentrated melphalan to patients with primary and metastatic liver tumors, including those arising from ocular melanoma.

About Delcath Systems, Inc., HEPZATO KIT and CHEMOSAT Delcath Systems, Inc. is an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers. The company's proprietary products, HEPZATO KIT™ (HEPZATO (melphalan) for Injection/Hepatic Delivery System) and CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System (HDS) for Melphalan percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP), are designed to administer high-dose chemotherapy to the liver while controlling systemic exposure and associated side effects during a PHP procedure. In the United States, HEPZATO KIT is considered a combination drug and device product and is regulated and approved for sale as a drug by the FDA. HEPZATO KIT is comprised of the chemotherapeutic drug melphalan and Delcath’s proprietary 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. Please see the full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING for the HEPZATO KIT. 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.

Gerard, please proceed.
Thank you, David, and welcome everyone. We've had a very successful first quarter marked by four center activations and record new patient starts in the first quarter, both of which are core growth drivers for the business. We continue to advance numerous commercial and medical initiatives to ensure the long-term growth of HEPZATO with a strong focus on a third critical growth driver, building referral networks to quickly connect eligible patients to treating centers. To support center activations, increased utilization at existing centers, and expanded referral patterns, we have nearly completed our U.S. commercial expansion into nine regions. The expanded MSL team is fully trained and in the field educating physicians about metastatic uveal melanoma with a focus on the CHOPIN results. As of today, we have 29 REMS certified sites, and we are in active discussions with over 50 potential new centers.
38 of these centers have had one or more members of a potential treatment team take the time to travel and be precepted. While not all of these centers will become activated, and the process can take over one year in some cases, there is clearly broad-based interest in this therapy, which bodes well for the long-term growth of the business. As we note on every call, it is very difficult to predict pacing, and given where we are at this point in the year, we are modifying our year-end activated center goal to 37 active centers with 40 active treatment centers sometime in the first quarter of 2027. In addition to center activation, we are focused on changing prescribing patterns by expanding the set of appropriate patients that treating teams consider for PHP through education, fostering peer-to-peer conversations, and evidence generation.
First quarter 2026 new patient starts per site have tracked at or slightly higher than the first quarter of 2025 at approximately 0.7 new patients per site per month. New patient starts contribute to revenue over subsequent quarters as patients receive a series of treatments. We expect the strong first quarter new patient starts to offset the reduced site activation pace. Based on conversations with some treating physicians, we know that the publication of the CHOPIN results in The Lancet Oncology is already changing treatment patterns at certain centers. One piece of publicly available anecdotal evidence is the recent webinar hosted by the patient advocacy group A Cure in Sight, during which Dr. Siddharth Padia, an interventional radiologist from UCLA, shared his experience treating metastatic uveal melanoma patients with HEPZATO.
Some of the patients Dr. Padia is treating with PHP are also being treated with immunotherapy. He noted on the webinar that his results with these patients are consistent with or perhaps superior than the positive results reported from the CHOPIN trial. As a reminder, CHOPIN response rates improved from approximately 40% with HEPZATO alone to about 76% when HEPZATO was combined with immunotherapy, including some cases of complete response. The combination arm demonstrated a survival benefit with a clear separation between survival curves at both 1 and 2 years. Dr. Padia characterized these study results as extremely encouraging and consistent with his clinical experience. Many Metastatic Uveal Melanoma patients are managed outside REMS certified centers, earlier identification and streamlined referral processes are essential.
One important approach to enhancing referral patterns is to use multiple data sources to identify physicians treating newly diagnosed metastatic patients and promptly connect these patients with a suitable HEPZATO treatment center. As these networks mature, we expect referrals to be an important driver of new patient starts across our footprint. I now would like to turn to our clinical development programs. In our ongoing metastatic colorectal cancer trial, we continue to activate new trial sites and now have a total of 13 centers who can actively screen CRC patients. We have implemented specialized training modules and streamlined onboarding processes to continue to accelerate site re-readiness and ensure protocol adherence. We are on track to activate nearly all of the currently targeted 26 trial sites by the end of this year and anticipate presenting interim results in late 2027. To date, we have enrolled seven patients.
While this pace has been slower than initially anticipated, we believe the program is picking up momentum. Our second program in metastatic breast cancer now has four clinical trial sites that are prepared to screen patients, with additional sites opening soon. Since breast cancer physicians typically have less experience with liver-directed therapies compared to those treating metastatic colorectal cancer, we are conducting targeted education and outreach initiatives to increase awareness of HEPZATO's potential benefits in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We are targeting 15 trial sites and expect to activate them by late 2026. We will provide guidance related to the readouts from this trial later this year as operational progress supports more precise forecasting. We are seeing growing interest in HEPZATO beyond colorectal and breast cancer and are exploring clinical trial designs into additional indications, guided by physician input and advisory board feedback.
Based on the results of the CHOPIN trial, there is strong enthusiasm from the medical community to investigate a CHOPIN-like combination regimen to treat liver involvement in patients with a variety of solid tumor types. I look forward to sharing updates on these plans later in the year. I will now ask Sandra to review our financial results.
Thank you, Gerard. Total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $25 million, compared with $19.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. This included $23.3 million of HEPZATO KIT revenue and $1.7 million of CHEMOSAT revenue. Gross margin for the quarter was 85%, compared to 86% in the first quarter of 2025. Research and development expenses in the first quarter was $9.8 million, compared to $5 million in the prior quarter, driven primarily by continued investment in our clinical organization and the ongoing phase II trial. Selling, general, and administrative expense in the first quarter was $13.1 million, compared to $11.3 million in the prior year quarter. This reflects our investment into the continued commercial expansion and increased marketing activities.
Net loss for the first quarter was $1.1 million, compared to net income of $1.1 million in the prior year first quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $3.4 million, compared to $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2025. We ended the quarter with $89.3 million in cash and investments and no debt. Cash provided by operations was $0.9 million in the quarter. We also purchased approximately 300,000 common shares for about $3 million in the first quarter under the company's approved $25 million share buyback program. To date, we have purchased $9 million worth of common shares.
Turning to 2026 guidance, we are confident we will achieve total revenue of at least $100 million, which reflects 20% growth in HEPZATO KIT volume over 2025. Our guidance takes into account expected seasonal trends in the third and fourth quarters, much like in 2025 when new patient starts rates declined partially due to scheduling challenges. Forecasts for 2026 gross margins remain between 85%-87%, and we now expect to report positive adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of the year. I want to thank you all for participating today. This does conclude our prepared remarks, and I'd ask the operator to open the phone lines for Q&A.
Thank you. In a moment, we will open the call to questions. The company requests that all callers limit each turn to two questions from each analyst, one question and one follow-up. Your first question comes from Marie Thibault with BTIG. Please go ahead.
Good morning, Gerard and Sandra. Thank you for taking the questions. I wanted to ask my first here on the volume you're seeing per site. Certainly encouraging to hear that that's more than offsetting kind of the slightly slower pace of activations. I just wanted to understand what was driving that. It sounds like perhaps CHOPIN's having a bit of an effect. I know in the past.
Competing or other trials might have been a distraction. If you can just tell us a little bit more about some of the dynamics behind, you know, driving that higher volume.
Yeah. I think it's primarily CHOPIN, as well as new sites come on board. Not all of them, as some of the new sites come on board, you know, when they see the results, they start increasing their volume. I think it's both things, what they see in practice and the CHOPIN results as well. Clinical trial headwinds are probably reduced a bit from probably a similar time last year. I think the majority of the effort is as best as I can sort it out. The majority of the effect, as best as I can sort it out, is CHOPIN and then docs just seeing the scans and seeing the tumor shrinkage.
Okay. Great to hear. Simple enough. I'll ask a follow-up, I think, for Sandra. When we think about the spending trajectory this year, I recall that it is expected to be higher in 2026 than it was in 2025. Can you just give us any more detail, if you have it at this point, on visibility for cadence of that spending, how you see some of the investments in R&D and commercial expansion unfolding throughout this year? Thanks both for taking the questions.
Absolutely. I know in a previous call we did mention R&D for full year 2026 would be about a 90% increase over 2025. Based on a little bit of a slow up in the enrollment in both trials, we're likely going to see a full year increase closer to the 70% or 75% over 2025. You know, R&D, we will likely see a decent increase in Q2, about 20% over Q1, and start to level off at about 10% over the remainder of the year and into the fourth quarter. SG&A, probably about a 60% increase in 2026 over 2025 due to the sales force expansion and just increasing in selling costs as we grow.
Q2 for SG&A, probably a 10%-15% increase over Q1, due to those marketing initiatives, and then increases modestly each quarter thereafter.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from John Newman with Canaccord. Please go ahead.
Questions. Congrats on the continued progress. I just wondered if you could talk a little bit about the factors involved regarding the change to the site addition guidance. Obviously, it looks like that's gonna be offset by increased patient volume, which is great. Just curious, if you could discuss a little bit the different factors that went into that, change there. Thanks.
It really, The visibility we have in terms of, you know, there's always about half a dozen or more sites roughly that look like they could go any week. The pipeline's full. I wanna make sure that that's clear. If I don't have patients that I know are scheduled for treatments, or, you know, multiple patients going through screening, then I can, you know, I'm a little reluctant to say, "Hey, I'm gonna get a couple sites the next month or two." The average pace has been a little over, since we've launched, has been, I think, about 1.1.2 per month.
If I don't see, sites, you know, ready to treat a patient or having one scheduled, then I say, "All right, I'm gonna have another dry month or two," and I pull that out. You know, under that framework, I'm saying, yes, more likely we'll be 37. Could it be 38 or 39? Yeah. I think 37's probably, you know, a more likely number. It's as simple as that. If I don't see anything in the next month or so I kinda reduce it.
Okay, great. One quick follow-up. On the CHOPIN data, which I think are really fantastic and should be really beneficial, I'm curious if you're seeing most of the new sites that you're in discussion with kind of citing that as a factor for their enthusiasm, or if it's sort of balanced between new and old sites. I'm just curious if perhaps you're seeing kind of the new sites pick up on this in terms of wanting to get on board with the product, or is it kind of balanced across older existing sites and the new sites?
All right. If you're asking, you know, the level of enthusiasm from CHOPIN, I think it's both new and existing. There are some existing sites that have been doing a CHOPIN-like protocol from day one when they became active. And there are others that have moved over to that given the data. I would argue that probably most new sites are planning to do a CHOPIN-like protocol, a combination of immunotherapy and PHP. Kevin, why don't you chime in? You know, you're a little closer to it than I am in terms of would you say almost all the new sites are going with the CHOPIN, or is it more fifty-fifty?
I would say that it's, the majority of them will be going with a CHOPIN-like protocol. We hear a lot about just combination treatments in general, but CHOPIN specifically. It is kind of important to note.
The new sites we've been engaged with for months. As you just pointed out, the site opening process takes a considerable amount of time. When we talk with these sites as they're bringing us on, there are many conversations between, you know, peer-to-peer groups as well as our medical and clinical team as well. Everyone is well-versed in the CHOPIN-type protocol, I would anticipate the majority of them that are coming on in the future will embrace that.
Great. Thanks.
Great. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from Sudan Loganathan with Stephens. Please go ahead.
Hi. Good morning, Gerard and Sandra. My first question is regarding the ESMO breast cancer data that you also provided. I noticed that the adverse event profile showed some grade 3, 4 adverse events in about 8% of patients. Additionally, the median overall survival is around six months for an untreated liver met, metastatic breast cancer patients, or maybe around the four-five month range. Just kinda curious on how you're viewing this first set of data for this indication and how this kind of dictates how you, how you go forward.
Yeah. These were all very heavily pretreated patients. I think, you know, the, probably the, one of the most important parts of the data is, although, you know, the adverse event profile you mentioned may seem high to the untutored to oncologists, these events are easily managed and all are resolvable. I think there's not much that can be done for these types of patients that were treated. I think we're quite happy with the data and glad it's there to help improve recruitment, site activation and recruitment in the clinical trial. I'll ask Vojo, is there any other commentary you wanna add regarding those results?
Yes, sure. Thanks for the question. In addition to the comments that Gerard made, I'd like to point out that the patients who were treated with HEPZATO in this data review received a median of four prior systemic treatments. That means they have been receiving multiple chemotherapies, and many, if not most, of the patients have residual toxicities. These are not the patients that we have treated before in the focus of CHOPIN trial, which are typically very little pretreatment or no pretreatment at all. The safety profile depends also on the line of treatment in which you administer PHP.
Regarding your comment about the survival, these are patients with breast cancer, when they develop liver metastases, typically that's the final stage of the disease where patients have just a few months of life left. Seeing six months is actually, you know, in that context, not so bad. The doctors expressed a great deal of satisfaction when we talked to them about being able to manage this very difficult stage of the disease.
Thank you. I appreciate the details. Additionally, just wanted to ask, even as we go into the second half of this year, could we still anticipate a few other data readouts or just other updates on either breast cancer or colorectal cancer indications going forward? Thanks.
Yeah. There's not gonna be any data readouts. I mean, we'll keep you apprised of how the trials are proceeding in terms of open sites and patients. There won't be any from us, any data readouts. As you know, the product's been on the market as a standalone device in Europe for over a decade. Often, data comes out that we don't know that investigators or clinicians have submitted it for as a poster presentation or a publication. Could something else come out? Yes. Not from the company.
Thank you. The next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead.
Morning, everyone. This is Jake on for Chase. Just first, regarding the goal of 40 sites by the first quarter of 2027, for the incremental 11 sites, how much are you relying on the three new sales territories, and what are you seeing from the funnel there?
Yeah. The territories are not new geographies, okay? We're just slicing the existing, you know, territories, four, six to nine, into smaller territories so there's more concentrated effort. There's no particular territory. There's no particular region where we're gonna get more business. As sites are opened, it takes effort to manage open sites. To maintain the same level of effort in terms of activating new sites and the same pace of activating new sites, we have to put more bodies in the field. Now these are very experienced reps. Don't wanna call, just call them bodies. We have to put more experienced people out there to manage the existing accounts and to maintain the same level of site activation effort.
Okay. Thanks for that. On guidance, just on a run rate basis, you're already at the $100 million floor just with this quarter. What are your assumptions for the remaining three quarters for revenue?
Yeah. Well, the assumptions, as I mentioned before, are that we will see the same, you know, seasonal impact we saw in the third and fourth quarter of last year. We could be wrong there. You know, in hindsight, it could very well be that we're being overly conservative. We have a very small N in terms of, you know, understanding to what extent seasonality will impact things. There are certain aspects of the seasonality that we think we can address and are trying to address.
The specific one that we are trying to handle is if we have a treatment team. If at a important center there is only one full treatment team, let's say there's only one IR or there's only one anesthesiologist who's trained, if they go on vacation, by definition, the capacity has dropped at that center. You know, we have implemented a special incentive to the sales force. If you get a second treatment team trained, up and going, there will be something in it for the rep. That is yielding some additional backup treatment teams. I'm hopeful that will offset some of the seasonality we saw. There's also seasonality, I think, by patients deciding in certain times of year they would rather not be treated. They'll postpone treatment or postpone getting started.
That is difficult for us to impact. For those aspects we can impact, specifically maintaining capacity in terms of trained teams, we're doing what we can. Again, getting back to the core of your question, what assumptions are we utilizing, given we're already gonna run rate to hit guidance? You know, we're assuming we see the same level of seasonality as last year. Again, that might be overly conservative, but I think it's best to guide that way and also be clear about our assumptions underlying the guidance.
Appreciate that color. Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from John Newman. Please go ahead.
Hi. Thanks for taking my follow-up. I had a question about the recent data that you were just discussing earlier on the breast cancer work that was done in Europe. It was interesting, I noticed that the median number of cycles was one, and I'm wondering if you think that's representative of what we'll see going forward when you test this treatment in perhaps a different set of breast cancer patients, and also whether that median one cycle may have just been limited by either patient survival or just physicians that maybe hadn't had a lot of experience with the treatment. Thanks.
Yeah. I will note that the clinical protocol calls for two treatments. I would think that would be the median when the trial reads out. In terms of why they only received one, I have some theories, but let me ask Vojo to comment.
As Gerard mentioned, this was not a prospective trial. This is basically reflecting data from real world clinical practice. The practicing physicians were probably making decisions which they thought, in the absence of any guiding data, are the best for the patients. Just to remind you, these were heavily pre-treated patients with a median of four prior treatments, quite exhausted with lots of residual toxicities. I think physicians were probably being cautious in trying to manage the disease, perhaps not to achieve the best possible efficacy, but rather to control the disease and prolong patients' lives, which would be typical of the treatment goal, you know, after first or second line.
I think that the median number of cycles simply reflects the different treatment objective compared to if you treat patients at an earlier stage in the patient journey.
Great. Thank you.
Thank you. The next question comes from Yilun Jin with Lido & Co. Please go ahead.
Good morning. Thanks for taking the questions. You refer in the press release that you have 36% volume growth year-over-year for same quarters. I just wonder whether if you compare to the fourth quarter of last year, what that readout might be, and then I have a follow-up.
Sandra, do you have the quarter-on-quarter growth off the top of your head? Volume growth? Sandra, you might be on mute.
Apologies. You are correct. I was on mute. I just want to say we're mid-20% volume growth from Q1 2026 over Q4 2025.
Okay, great. That's very helpful. Maybe, just a follow-up here, that we know that the referral obviously is the long-term sort of- Of expansion sources. We know that you guys already started the process. Just curious, what will be the measurement or other sort of follow-up to track how the referral practice being done and, you know, improvements if needed, so on and so forth? Any colors on that front? Thanks.
Yeah. It's interesting that you asked that question 'cause it's something I've grappled with with Kevin. What we wanna do is incentivize our oncology managers to, you know, get the referrals going. It is somewhat difficult to know when a patient shows up at a center 'cause obviously we have to be HIPAA compliant. You can't exactly quiz the doctor on where did this patient come from, that sort of thing. It's difficult to know, hey, did our referral process lead to this specific patient? We definitely know of cases, many cases, where the work of the oncology manager resulted in a patient ending up at one of our treating centers. It is working. In terms of measuring it on a specific metric, you know, we're grappling with that.
In an accurate metric, we're grappling with that ourselves. How do we follow that? We have some ideas, but right now I can't point to a specific way we're going to measure that. It's unlikely that we're gonna be able to tell you know, ever get to the point where we can say, "Hey, if X% of our patients or there are Y, the rate of referral is Y per site." I don't think we'll ever get there, because again, it's HIPAA compliant. You know, you can't quiz the docs. We're focused very, very much on it.
Okay, great. That's very helpful, and thanks. Congrats.
Thank you. The next question comes from Charles Wallace with HCW. Please go ahead.
Hi, this is Charles on for RK from H.C. Wainwright. Thanks for taking my questions. The first question I have is I was curious for the CHOPIN publication in the ESMO Clinical Practice Guidelines, are you seeing these two publications translate into increased physician adoption in Europe? I know it's a little early, but should we expect kind of the CHEMOSAT to grow in 2026 from these?
Yeah. I think the European growth is significantly hampered by, you know, reimbursement issues. I think many centers in Europe, you know, are doing, you know, a combination type regime. But to be frank, a lot of European oncologists are less aggressive than they are in the U.S. But I, I can't really comment as to whether or not Is it gonna grow to increase revenue in Europe in the long term? Certainly. For this particular year, you know, I think we just have to assume that we're gonna see probably modest single-digit growth in Europe. What will change that is getting reimbursement in the U.K., which we've been working on for quite a while.
As well as, you know, establishing commercial businesses in Spain, France, and Italy, and we're working hard on that as well. In terms of the overall impact on the business, given the price point in Europe, I wouldn't call it a rounding error certainly, but you know, it's a ±10% thing on EBITDA for the business. It's not a huge driver. We're focused on Europe, as I've mentioned before, primarily, at least for the short to medium term, as areas where we can generate data. The device is approved to deliver melphalan to the liver. It is not tied to a specific tumor type. Now, most of the usage is in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma, and I guess that's where most of the data is.
It's a great place to generate, run IITs and generate data in other tumor types. Right now, Europe's importance is generation of data. We manage it on a break-even basis. At some point, we may relaunch the product as a combination drug device, as a HEPZATO, and try to reset the price point, but that's many, many years down the road.
Yeah. Thank you for all the color. I guess one more follow-up from me. On the pipeline for MCRC, I think you mentioned that there's 13 sites, but it's been slower than expected enrollment with the, I think you said seven patients. I was just curious when you expect enrollment to pick up and ultimately complete for this study. Thank you.
Sure. Vojo, you mind taking that?
Sure. You're correct. We have opened 13 sites, and we have enrolled thus far seven patients. Based on the momentum that we've observed over the last several months, we feel confident that the momentum, both in terms of site openings and patient screening and enrollment, is picking up. We believe that enrollment will proceed in this year and next year, and that we'll be able to share interim results publicly by the end of next year, 2027.
Okay. Thank you for taking my questions.
Thank you. We have reached the end of the question and answer session. This concludes today's conference. You may now disconnect your lines. Thank you all for your participation.
