Delcath Systems Announces Move to a Direct Sales & Marketing Model for CHEMOSAT®

NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delcath Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: DCTH), an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic cancers of the liver, announced today that effective March 1, 2022, it will resume direct responsibility for sales, marketing and distribution activities relating to the CHEMOSAT® Hepatic Delivery System in Europe (EU, United Kingdom, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland). Since December 2018, medac GmbH, a privately held, multi-national pharmaceutical company based in Germany, has been the licensee for CHEMOSAT in Europe. Delcath and medac are working closely together on an orderly transition of activities.

CHEMOSAT is the European trade name for Delcath’s proprietary percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) device, which administers a high-dose chemotherapeutic agent (melphalan hydrochloride) to the liver, while controlling systemic exposure. Delcath launched CHEMOSAT in the EU in 2012 and sold the product through its own dedicated sales force up until the 2018 licensing agreement.

“Delcath is eager to resume direct sales and distribution in Europe and will work closely with medac during the transfer process to ensure patients continue to receive access to CHEMOSAT treatment,” said Gerard Michel, CEO of Delcath.
