actual results to differ materially from those described. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to,
uncertainties relating to: the impact of the negative advisory vote by the ODAC panel on the FDA's decision regarding the
Company's new drug application (NDA), timing of completion of the FDA's review of our NDA, the extent to which the FDA may
request additional information, data, or new clinical trials and our ability to provide the same in a timely manner, additional extensions
to the PDUFA date by the FDA, acceptability of the Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trial data by the FDA, FDA approval of the Company's
NDA for the treatment of ocular metastatic melanoma to the liver, adoption, use and resulting sales, if any, in the United States,
clinical adoption, use and resulting sales, if any, for the CHEMOSAT system to deliver and filter melphalan in Europe, our ability to
successfully commercialize the chemosaturation system and the potential of the chemosaturation system as a treatment for patients
with primary and metastatic disease in the liver, our ability to obtain reimbursement for the CHEMOSAT system in various markets,
the timing and results of future clinical trials including without limitation the HCC trials, approval of the current or future
chemosaturation system for delivery and filtration of melphalan, doxorubicin or other chemotherapeutic agents for various indications
in the US and/or in foreign markets, actions by the FDA or other foreign regulatory agencies, our ability to successfully enter into
strategic partnership and distribution arrangements in foreign markets including Australia and key Asian markets and timing and
revenue, if any, of the same, uncertainties relating to the timing and results of research and development projects,, and uncertainties

 New Drug Application Pending
 o Oncology Drug Advisory Committee (ODAC) negative vote based
 on procedural safety concerns that Company believes were
 corrected via protocol amendments and related procedure
 refinements
 o Investigator reported deaths seen on trial did not occur again
 following protocol amendments (in the opinion of the treating
 investigators)
 o Gen 2 filter contained in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control
 (CMC) module as a technical change - Company believes use of
 Gen 2 coupled with procedure refinements offer improved patient
 experience via shorter hospital stays and reduced impact to blood
 components as observed in EU, EAP and Compassionate Use
 experience
 o Actively collecting Gen 2 clinical data

10 DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC
Risks associated with the CHEMOSAT/Melbez Kit Procedure
 In clinical trials, the integrated safety population of patients showed risks
 associated with the CHEMOSAT/MELBLEZ Kit procedure to include:
 o a 4.1% incidence of deaths due to adverse reactions;
 o 4% incidence of stroke;
 o 2% reported incidence of myocardial infarction in the setting of an incomplete
 cardiac risk assessment;
 o a ≥ 70% incidence of grade 4 bone marrow suppression with a median time of
 recovery of greater than 1 week;
 o and an 18% incidence of febrile neutropenia, along with the additive risk of hepatic
 injury, severe hemorrhage, and gastrointestinal perforation.
 o See Appendix for details
 Deaths due to certain adverse reactions did not occur again during the clinical
 trials following the adoption of related protocol amendments.
 The trials that comprised this integrated safety population used early versions
 of the CHEMOSAT/Melblez Kit system, including the Generation One filter,
 and did not include use of the Generation Two filter.
 Death rate comparable to approved labeling for IV Melphalan
 While cancer treatments have certain inherent risks, the Company believes
 that the risks associated with this procedure are manageable

29 DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC
ODAC Summary
Procedure-related deaths
 Five deaths (4.1%) in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials were considered
treatment-related and resulted from adverse events
 o Four deaths in Phase 3 trial; one in Phase 2 trial  
 o Treatment-related deaths in the pooled percutaneous hepatic perfusion
 (PHP) population were a consequence of either the PHP procedure; or
 the direct local effects of melphalan during the procedure, or both
Two deaths due to gastric ulceration/perforation:
 o A death due to upper GI hemorrhage in the Phase 2 trial in male patient with
 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (NET) who had a prior surgical (Whipple’s)
 procedure and consequent abnormal architecture of the upper GI tract, its
 vasculature, and biliary tree. Patient died on Day 74 after melphalan/PHP
 treatment and an autopsy revealed a ruptured right hepatic artery as the primary
 cause of death
.
 o A death due to gastric perforation in a male patient in the Phase 3 trial who
 crossed over to melphalan/PHP treatment after hepatic progression on best
 alternative care (BAC). Patient went into cardiopulmonary arrest and died during a
 laparotomy on Day 18 after his second treatment cycle.
 
 

 
30 DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC
ODAC Summary
   One death due to hepatic failure:
 o A death due to hepatic failure occurred in male patient in the
 Phase 3 trial during the first cycle of melphalan/PHP treatment.
 Following melphalan/PHP treatment, this patient experienced fluid
 overload, myelosuppression, and hepatorenal syndrome.
 § An autopsy revealed that this patient’s death was related to
 underlying disease burden as the tumor burden in his liver was
 greater than 90%.
 
 

 
31 DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC
ODAC Summary
Two deaths were attributable to complications of neutropenia,
beyond the first cycle of treatment
One patient died of streptococcal sepsis and another died of
neutropenic complications.
 o Prophylactic growth factor support, which is used to treat
 neutropenia, was not protocol specified and rarely used.
 o In patients who have been treated with the Generation Two
 system, both commercially in Europe and in the US under the
 Expanded Access Program and compassionate use, we have not
 seen complicated neutropenia to date.
 o Myelosuppression is always a risk with chemotherapy, Delcath
 has recommended following the American Society of Clinical
 Oncology (ASCO) guidelines for the use of growth factors to
 mitigate the incidence of complicated neutropenia.
 
 

 
32 DELCATH SYSTEMS, INC
ODAC Summary
In FDA’s presentation at ODAC, FDA disagreed with this
adjudication and added three additional deaths, for a total of a 7%
percent death rate, in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 programs.
Two deaths related to hepatic failure and one death related to
myelosuppression, were described.
 o Upon being advised of the FDA’s assessment of these deaths, the
 Company requested that the cases be re-reviewed by the treating
 principal investigators.
 o After this review, the treating principal investigators continue to be
 convinced that these patients died of disease progression, and the
 Company believes that the three additional deaths the FDA
 attributed to the procedure were unrelated to treatment.
