Thank you for joining us today to review the Chopin trial results and a summary of preliminary third quarter 2025 financial results. Yesterday, DelCast's chief medical officer, Boya Lukavich, had an opportunity to discuss the Chopin trial results with Dr. Vincent Ma, a current user of HepCytoKit for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma patients. Dr. Ma is an assistant professor, medical oncologist, and the immuno-oncology therapeutics director of the Phase I program at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center. He is a clinical investigator and translational scientist with a research program dedicated to melanoma and advanced cutaneous malignancies. Recognized as an emerging national expert in using melanoma, he leads and collaborates on multiple grants, clinical trials, and scholarly publications focused on improving outcomes for patients with this disease. Delcoff retained Dr. Ma to review the Chopin trial results and provide his feedback. Dr. Ma's comments are his own and do not constitute medical advice. Let me first recap the trial results that were presented Saturday by principal investigator and lead author, Professor Ellen Capitan from Leiden University. The Chopin trial randomized 76 patients one-to-one to receive PHP alone at weeks one and seven or four cycles of ipilimumab and nivolumab every three weeks over approximately nine weeks with two PHP treatments at weeks one and seven. The trial protocol did not include additional PHP treatments beyond two treatments or nevalumab maintenance monotherapy. Once the nine-week treatment period was completed, patients were monitored without further treatment until progression. Key eligibility criteria included unresectable hepatic metastases with 50% or less unresectable disease and limited extra hepatic disease. The primary endpoint was one-year progression-free survival. Secondary influence included safety, best overall response rate, and overall survival, and hepatic progression-free survival. The primary endpoint was MEP, with one-year progression-free survival of 54.7% in the combination group versus 15.8% in the perfusion group. The combination also significantly improved overall survival, 23.1 versus 19.6 months, and best overall response rates, 76.3% versus 39.5%. All of these efficacy advantages were statistically significant. Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were more frequent in the combination group, 81.6% versus 40.5%, but most were manageable with standard care. Interestingly, this rate of adverse events in the combination arm were consistent with those seen in the FOCUS pivotal trial. To better explore the importance of the results, I will now share the prerecorded discussion between Dr. Vukovic and Dr. Ma. I will then discuss the implications of these results for DELCAP, as well as share preliminary third quarter 2025 financial results and full year guidance, and open the floor for questions.
