Delcath Systems Q1 2026 Earnings Call - Revenue Surges to $25M as CHOPIN Data Drives Prescribing Momentum

Summary

Delcath Systems delivered a strong first quarter with revenue hitting $25 million, a 26% year-over-year increase, driven by higher per-site patient volume rather than a surge in new center activations. The publication of the CHOPIN trial results in The Lancet Oncology is clearly shifting treatment patterns, with physicians increasingly adopting the combination of HEPZATO with immunotherapy. This clinical validation is offsetting a slower-than-expected pace of site activations, allowing the company to maintain its $100 million full-year revenue guidance despite a revised, more conservative target for activated centers.

Management is pivoting from pure geographic expansion to deepening clinical engagement and referral networks. While the U.S. commercial footprint is expanding, the company is focusing on ensuring existing sites have redundant treatment teams to mitigate seasonal drop-offs. The pipeline in metastatic colorectal and breast cancer remains on track, though enrollment is slower than hoped. The balance sheet remains pristine with $89.3 million in cash and no debt, providing ample runway to fund clinical trials and commercial scaling while the company works toward sustained profitability.

Key Takeaways

  • First quarter revenue reached $25 million, up 26% from $19.8 million in Q1 2025, fueled by a 36% year-over-year volume increase in HEPZATO KIT sales.
  • Per-site new patient starts tracked at approximately 0.7 per month, matching or slightly exceeding prior year levels and helping to offset a slower pace of new center activations.
  • The company revised its year-end activated center guidance down to 37 sites, with a target of 40 centers expected in Q1 2027, citing the time-intensive nature of REMS certification and treatment team training.
  • CHOPIN trial data published in The Lancet Oncology is actively changing prescribing patterns, with the majority of new sites planning to adopt the combination of HEPZATO with immunotherapy.
  • Full-year 2026 revenue guidance remains at a minimum of $100 million, reflecting an expected 20% growth in HEPZATO KIT volume over 2025 despite seasonal headwinds.
  • Gross margins held steady at 85%, while R&D expenses nearly doubled to $9.8 million due to expanded clinical operations and ongoing Phase II trials in metastatic colorectal and breast cancer.
  • Net loss for the quarter was $1.1 million, a notable shift from the $1.1 million net income recorded in the same period last year, driven by increased commercial and clinical investments.
  • Management expects positive adjusted EBITDA for the remainder of 2026, with R&D spending growth moderating to a 70-75% year-over-year increase rather than the previously projected 90%.
  • Clinical development in metastatic colorectal cancer has enrolled 7 patients across 13 active sites, with management confident enrollment is picking up momentum toward late 2027 interim results.
  • European growth remains modest due to reimbursement challenges, but the region serves as a critical data generation hub for future combination therapy trials and potential price point resets.

Gerard, please proceed.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Thank you, David, and welcome everyone. We’ve had a very successful 1st quarter marked by 4 center activations and record new patient starts in the 1st 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 3rd 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 9 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.

Thirty-eight of these centers have had 1 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 1 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 mUVM 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 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 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.

Sandra Pennell, Chief Financial Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

Operator: 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.

Marie Thibault, Analyst, BTIG: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

Marie Thibault, Analyst, BTIG: 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.

Sandra Pennell, Chief Financial Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

Marie Thibault, Analyst, BTIG: Very helpful. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from John Noonan with Canaccord. Please go ahead.

John Noonan, Analyst, Canaccord: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

John Noonan, Analyst, Canaccord: 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?

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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?

Kevin Muir, Chief Commercial Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

John Noonan, Analyst, Canaccord: Great. Thanks.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Great. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from Sudan Loganathan with Stephens. Please go ahead.

Sudan Loganathan, Analyst, Stephens: Hi. Good morning, Gerard and Sandro. 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 an untreated liver met, metastatic breast cancer patients, or maybe around the 4-5 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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 Boyo, is there any other commentary you wanna add regarding those results?

Vojislav Vukovic, Chief Medical Officer, Delcath Systems: 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 4 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 6 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.

Sudan Loganathan, Analyst, Stephens: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from Chase Knickerbocker with Craig-Hallum. Please go ahead.

David Hoffman, Investor Relations, Delcath Systems1: 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?

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Yeah. The territories are not new geographies, okay? We’re just slicing the existing, you know, territories, 4, 6 to 9, 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.

David Hoffman, Investor Relations, Delcath Systems1: Okay. Thanks for that. On guidance, just on a run rate basis, you’re already at the $100 million floor just with this quarter.

Sandra Pennell, Chief Financial Officer, Delcath Systems: What are your assumptions for the remaining 3 quarters for revenue?

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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 1 full treatment team, let’s say there’s only 1 IR or there’s only 1 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 2nd 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.

Operator: Thank you.

Thank you. The next question comes from John Noonan. Please go ahead.

John Noonan, Analyst, Canaccord: 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 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 1 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Yeah. I will note that the clinical protocol calls for 2 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.

Vojislav Vukovic, Chief Medical Officer, Delcath Systems: 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 4 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.

John Noonan, Analyst, Canaccord: Great. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from Yilun Jin with Lido & Co. Please go ahead.

David Hoffman, Investor Relations, Delcath Systems0: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Sandra, do you have the quarter-on-quarter growth off the top of your head? Volume growth? Sandra, you might be on mute.

Sandra Pennell, Chief Financial Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

David Hoffman, Investor Relations, Delcath Systems0: 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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.

David Hoffman, Investor Relations, Delcath Systems0: Okay, great. That’s very helpful, and thanks. Congrats.

Operator: Thank you. The next question comes from Charles Wallace with HCW. Please go ahead.

Charles Wallace, Analyst, HCW (H.C. Wainwright): 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?

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: 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 mUVM, 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.

Charles Wallace, Analyst, HCW (H.C. Wainwright): 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.

Gerard Michel, Chief Executive Officer, Delcath Systems: Sure. Vojo, you mind taking that?

Vojislav Vukovic, Chief Medical Officer, Delcath Systems: 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. 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.

Charles Wallace, Analyst, HCW (H.C. Wainwright): Okay. Thank you for taking my questions.

Operator: 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.
