Business Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Annual Report on Form 10-K to the “Company”, “Delcath”, “Delcath Systems”,”we”, “our”, and “us” refers to Delcath Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, incorporated in August 1988. Our corporate offices are located at 600 Fifth Avenue, 23 rd Floor, New York, New York 10020. Our telephone number is (212) 489-2100. Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “DCTH.” General Development of Business Overview We are a development stage company that has developed an innovative system designed to administer high dose chemotherapy and other therapeutic agents to diseased organs or regions of the body. Since our inception we have focused our efforts on the development of a single product, the Delcath Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion System, or (the Delcath PHP System), which provides regional therapy by isolating the circulatory system of the liver in order to directly deliver high doses of therapeutic agents, while controlling the systemic exposure of those agents. The Delcath PHP System is minimally invasive and repeatable. We believe that the Delcath PHP System is a platform technology that may have broader applicability to other organs and body regions. In our initial application, the Delcath PHP System isolates the liver from the patient’s general circulatory system in order to deliver high doses of melphalan hydrochloride, an approved chemotherapeutic drug, directly to the liver. We are currently conducting a Phase III trial and a multi-arm Phase II trial of the Delcath PHP System with melphalan in patients with liver cancers. The Phase III and Phase II clinical trials are subject to the terms and conditions of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, the CRADA, between us and the National Cancer Institute, or NCI. The Delcath PHP System is not currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and it cannot be marketed in the United States without prior FDA approval. Our most advanced trial is a randomized Phase III multi-center study led by the NCI for patients with metastatic ocular and cutaneous melanoma in the liver. The FDA has granted the Delcath PHP System with melphalan Fast Track designation for the treatment of hepatic tumors secondary to melanoma. We have also been granted four orphan drug designations, including for the drug melphalan for the treatment of patients with ocular and cutaneous melanoma.
