SmallCapReview.com, A leading site for news and information on Small-Caps and MicroCaps is adding Liposcine (LPCN) to its list of stocks “On the Radar”.
Lipocine Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing innovative pharmaceutical products for use in men’s and women’s health using its proprietary drug delivery technologies.
Lipocine’s clinical development pipeline includes three development programs LPCN 1021, LPCN 1111 and LPCN 1107. LPCN 1021, a novel oral prodrug of testosterone containing testosterone undecanoate, is designed to help restore normal testosterone levels in hypogonadal men. LPCN 1021 was well tolerated and met the primary efficacy end-points in Phase 3 testing with twice daily dosing. LPCN 1111, a novel oral prodrug of testosterone, originated and is being developed by Lipocine as a next-generation oral testosterone product with potential for once-daily dosing and is currently in Phase 2 testing. LPCN 1107, the potentially first oral hydroxyprogesterone caproate product candidate indicated for the prevention of recurrent preterm birth, has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA. An End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA has been completed.

Pipeline
LPCN 1021
LPCN 1021 is an oral testosterone replacement therapy product candidate containing Testosterone Undecanoate that is designed to help restore normal testosterone levels in hypogonadal men. Lipocine expects LPCN 1021 will help fulfill an unmet need in the treatment of hypogonadism.
The current testosterone market primarily uses short-acting injectable products as well as topical products that carry an FDA “black box” warning related to inadvertent transfer of testosterone to others. Per the IMS Health database, an average of 540,000 prescriptions a month have been dispensed from January 2016 through December 2016 for testosterone products.
LPCN 1111
LPCN 1111 is a novel ester prodrug of testosterone which uses the Lip’ral technology to enhance solubility and improve systemic absorption. A Phase 1 single dose randomized, open label, crossover study in postmenopausal women has been completed and the pharmacokinetics suggested feasibility of once-daily dosing. Further, a Phase 2a study established once-daily dosing potential in hypogonadal men.
LPCN 1107
LPCN 1107 is an oral product candidate of 17-alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate under development for the indication of prevention of recurrent preterm birth. LPCN 1107 has the potential to become the first oral HPC product for the prevention of preterm birth in women with a prior history of at least one preterm birth.
Potential benefits of our oral product candidate relative to current injectable products include the elimination of pain and site reactions associated with weekly injections, elimination of weekly doctor visits or visits from the nurse, and elimination of interference/disruption of personal, family or professional activities associated with weekly visits.
