Our Solution – Liver Focused Disease Control CHEMOSAT® Melphalan/HDS product uniquely positioned to treat the entire liver as a standalone or a complementary therapy System isolates the liver circulation, delivers a high concentration of chemotherapy (melphalan), and filters most chemotherapy out of the blood prior to returning it to the patient Repeatable procedure typically takes ~2-3 hours Liver Isolated Via Double Balloon Catheter In IVC Melphalan Infused Directly Into Liver Via Catheter In Hepatic Artery Blood Exiting The Liver Filtered By Proprietary Extra-corporeal Filters

Cancers of the Liver - A Major Unmet Medical Need Large global patient population of ~1.2 million* patients diagnosed annually with primary or metastatic liver cancer Liver a common site of metastases and often the life-limiting organ for cancer patients Prognosis is poor, overall survival (OS) generally < 12 months Currently available/emerging therapies are limited * SOURCE – 2008 GLOBOCAN

Recent Data Provides Confidence: Overall Survival Signal Hepatic Progression-free and Overall Survival After Regional Therapy to the Liver for Metastatic Melanoma, Moffitt Cancer Center (AJCO) Analysis of 3 non-randomized approaches for treatment of 30 patients with liver metastases primarily resulting from ocular melanoma and skin melanoma. 10 PTS received PHP using melphalan 12 PTS received chemoembolization (CE) 6 PTS received radioembolization with yttrium-90 (Y90) 2 PTS crossed over once their cancer progressed (1 from PHP to Y90; 1 from CE to PHP) Results: PHP with Melphalan/HDS – Median OS 608 days, median HPFS 361 days, median PFS at 245 days Y90 - Median OS 295 days, median HPFS 54 days, median PFS 54 days CE – Median OS 265 days, median HPFS 80 days, median PFS 52 days Side effects following all treatments were similar, with most complications recorded as anorexia, abdominal pain, fatigue and nausea. Laboratory irregularities, such as thrombocytopenia and abnormal liver function tests, were seen immediately after treatment in some patients, but returned to baseline within a few days


SLIDE 11

Recent Data Provides Confidence: Limits of Immunotherapy in OM PD-L1 Expression In Tumor Metastasis Is Different Between Uveal Melanoma And Cutaneous Melanoma – A. Javed, D. Arguello, et al (Thomas Jefferson University, Caris Life Sciences) Immunotherapy, Nov 2017 PD-L1 expression on melanoma cells is significantly lower in metastatic uveal melanoma (MUM) as compared with metastatic cutaneous melanoma (MCM) Low PD-L1 expression in MUM likely explains its lack of response to treatment with PD-L1 immune check-point inhibitors MUM also seems to demonstrate lesser PD-L1 expressing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes as compared with MCM Tumor cells in melanoma liver metastasis (both MUM and MCM) tend to demonstrate low PD-L1 expression. This observation should be further explored in prospective studies investigating immune check-point inhibitor therapy to assess the utility of such treatments in the setting of liver metastases Studies of novel immunotherapeutic interventions in MUM should include a focus on developing modulators of the immune-suppressive environment of the liver


SLIDE 12

Recent Data Provides Confidence: Largest Dataset Outside Clinical Trial Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) for unresectable metastatic ocular melanoma to the liver: A Multi-institutional report of outcomes – Moffitt Cancer Center, University Hospital Southampton (Journal Surgical Oncology – Jan 2018) 51 PTS treated between 2008 and 2016 PTS received a total of 134 PHP TX (median TX = 2) Hepatic response to PHP was evaluable in 46 patients Results 25 (49%) showed partial (N=22, 43.1%) or complete (N=3, 5.9%) hepatic response 17 (33.0%) had stable disease ≥ 3 months 82.4% hepatic disease control rate Median follow up (367 days), PFS = 8.1 months, HPFS = 9.1 months; OS was 15.3 months Safety Analysis 37.5% had Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity N=9 (17.6%) of PTS showed cardiovascular toxicity 31.3% PTS showed Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia vs 85.7% in prior P3 trial No TX related deaths Conclusion - results clearly demonstrate that PHP Therapy appears to be an effective means of obtaining rapid intrahepatic disease control, and is a sensible option in patients with predominant liver disease


SLIDE 13

Recent Data Provides Confidence: Prospective Data Presented at CIRSE Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion in Patients with Unresectable Liver Metastases from Ocular Melanoma using Delcath Systems’ Second Generation (GEN 2) Hemofiltration System: A Prospective Phase 2 Study - Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), The Netherlands (2018 CIRSE Annual Conference-Poster Presentation) 35 PTS treated at LUMC (2/2014 – 6/2017) study prospectively evaluated tumor response rate, safety, OS, PFS, hPFS PTS received max 2 PHP TX per protocol; 67 PHP TX were administered to the 35 PTS in the study Post-TX assessments possible in 32 PTS Results according to RECIST 1.1 CR observed in one patient (3.1%) PR observed in 21 PTS (65.6%) ORR 68.7% SD observed in four PTS (12.5%), DCR was 81.2% Median OS was 15.6 months, median PFS was 8.6 months, and median hPFS was 10.8 months Safety analysis showed 14 serious AEs, no deaths, no severe bleeding complications, myocardial or cerebral infarctions observed Hematologic toxicities of Grade 3/4 were observed in most patients, with 18 (54.5%) PTS experiencing thrombocytopenia and 22 PTS (66.7%) experiencing neutropenia. Hematologic events were manageable or self-limiting; no grade 3/4 hepatic serious AEs were observed investigators concluded PHP Therapy was shown to have a manageable adverse event profile and to be a potentially valuable treatment for certain PTS with OM liver metastases

ICC Development Path Phase 2 ICC Cohort initiated to determine efficacy signal Patient treatment and data collection continuing; interim data to be released upon maturity Concurrently a multi-center retrospective data collection by EU investigators was conducted in 2015 and determined efficacy signal prior to completion of the ICC cohort Promising outcomes and observations obtained by EU investigators published in European Journal of Radiology KOL agreement that “CHEMOSAT treatment does, indeed, demonstrate an efficacy signal in ICC and is worthy of full clinical investigation”

Multi-Center ICC Outcomes Data Published in European Radiology Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (Chemosaturation) with Melphalan in Patients with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma: European Multicentre Study on Safety, Short Term Effects and Survival, European Radiology 2018, Marquardt, et al Study evaluated 15 PTS with ICC selected for PHP TX after failing prior therapies; PTS TX at nine hospitals in Europe between 2012 and 2016 TX outcomes assessed by imaging every three mos following PHP TX Results after the first PHP TX: one patient (7%) CR, two PTS (13%) had PR, and SD observed in eight PTS (53%); CR patient not retreated and is still alive Control rate (CR+PR+SD) was 73% Three PTS (20%) progressed after the first TX; and one patient died prior to post-procedure imaging Five PTS with SD received a second PHP TX, resulting in one PR (20%), three SD (60%), and one PD (20%); During the follow-up phase two of the SD PTS received additional PHP treatments Median OS was 26.9 months from initial diagnosis and 7.6 months from first PHP TX One-year OS from first PHP TX was 40%, Median PFS was 122 days, and median hepatic hPFS was 131 days Side-effects were potentially under-reported but were considered by the investigators to be tolerable and comparable to other systemic and local therapies Practitioners observed no Grade 3/4 AEs during the PHP procedure; significant hematological toxicity was observed post-procedure in the form of anemia and thrombocytopenia 5-7 days after the PHP TX Investigators concluded that PHP Therapy provides “promising response rates in patients with ICC,” and that side-effects were tolerable and comparable to other treatment strategies
