NEW YORK--Oct. 11, 2007--Delcath Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:DCTH) announced today that the Company's Phase III study is the "Featured Clinical Trial" in the October 9th edition of the NCI Cancer Bulletin (Volume 4/Number 27).

Delcath's pivotal Phase III trial was approved under a Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), following its advancement directly from Phase I. This clinical trial is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment with the FDA. Delcath previously announced that the Company expects several sites to be added to the trial before year-end, with the NCI having agreed to act as the lead center in the trial.

Richard Taney, President and CEO of Delcath Systems, commented, "We are delighted to gain this visibility for our technology platform from the NCI Cancer Bulletin. We are optimistic that efforts to accelerate patient enrollment and expand physician awareness ultimately will benefit patients with liver cancer and their families as we move closer to submitting the Delcath System to the FDA for approval."

As reported earlier this year, the NCI presented interim results from one of several Phase II trials using the Delcath System. This data revealed objective tumor responses, including complete and partial responses, in 77% of patients treated using the Delcath System. The remaining 23% of patients were classified with stable disease. The study's Principal Investigator, Dr. James Pingpank also reported survival data within a range of 14 to 42 months for these patients.

In the NCI Cancer Bulletin article, Dr. Pingpank states, "With this study, we're comparing treatment with systemic chemotherapy versus a minimally invasive method of delivering chemotherapy regionally to the affected organ. We hope to establish regional chemotherapy as a standard of care for patients with metastatic ocular melanoma, a disease for which no standard therapy exists."
