(Nasdaq: URGN), a biotech company dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative solutions that treat urothelial and specialty cancers, today announced expansion of its oncology pipeline portfolio through the acquisition of assets relating to a next-generation oncolytic virus ICVB-1042 from IconOVir Bio, Inc. (IconOVir). In addition, UroGen also announced that it has entered into multiple strategic research collaborations to explore the potential of its proprietary RTGel technology to enhance clinical effectiveness of multiple immunotherapies, including optimizing dwell time to improve treatment outcomes.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cUroGen\u2019s long-term growth strategy is built on advancing our uro-oncology pipeline, expanding our portfolio, and driving innovation in cancer treatment,\u201d said Liz Barrett, President and Chief Executive Officer of UroGen. \u201cThe acquisition of ICVB-1042, a next-generation investigational oncolytic virus, marks a significant milestone in our plan to develop novel, locally administered therapies for bladder cancer and other specialty cancers. This strategic investment underscores our commitment to identifying and advancing high-impact therapies that address critical unmet needs. Through targeted acquisitions and research collaborations, we are strengthening UroGen\u2019s leadership in oncology and laying the foundation for sustained innovation and growth.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe use of biological agents to treat bladder cancer has its roots in the development of Bacillus Calmette-Gu\u00e9rin (BCG)<b \/>therapy. Much like BCG therapy, ICVB-1042 is being developed to activate the immune system within the tumor microenvironment, but unlike BCG therapy, ICVB-1042 has the potential to selectively destroy cancer cells while retaining potency and trigger a robust immune response. A fusion of potency and cancer cell destruction would mark a groundbreaking step forward, unlocking new possibilities in the fight against cancer.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe treatment of bladder cancer has long been shaped by immunological approaches such as BCG therapy. UroGen now seeks to advance bladder cancer treatment with highly targeted, next-generation viral immunotherapies like ICVB-1042,\u201d said Mark Schoenberg, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of UroGen. \u201cICVB-1042 may represent an exciting leap forward, with several attributes we believe differentiate this asset from other oncolytic viruses. Supported by a robust non-clinical data package, we are eager to develop this investigational therapy as a potential new treatment in localized cancer.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Asset Purchase<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOn February 14, 2025, UroGen acquired certain assets of IconOVir, including product candidate ICVB-1042, and assumed certain liabilities and obligations of IconOVir arising under certain acquired contracts. As consideration for the assets, UroGen issued IconOVir 374,843 of its ordinary shares (representing a value of approximately $4.0 million based on 30-day VWAP), agreed to pay IconOVir a one-time payment of $15.0 million in cash upon the achievement of a cumulative aggregate worldwide net sales milestone for all products, including combination products, that incorporate or comprise ICVB-1042 (ICVB Products), and agreed to pay IconOVir a certain low, single-digit percentage royalty on a ICVB Product-by-ICVB Product basis on annual worldwide net sales of such ICVB Product.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Conference Call &amp; Webcast Information<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMembers of UroGen\u2019s management team will host a live conference call and webcast today at 12:00 PM ET to discuss the Company\u2019s long-term growth strategy.
