Lipella Pharmaceuticals Launches Innovative Registry to Advance Oral Lichen Planus Research
August 22 2024 - 5:00AM
Lipella Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIPO) has launched an Oral
Lichen Planus (OLP) Patient Registry. This online platform is
designed to enhance research and drive the development of new
treatments for OLP, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the
mucous membranes of the mouth. Characterized by symptoms such as
burning pain, white patches, swollen tissue, and open sores, OLP
impacts approximately 6 million Americans and currently has no
FDA-approved therapies.
The registry is now available, and the site provides additional
information on the investigational study of LP-310 for OLP, an oral
rinse derived from the company's lead candidate, LP-10, which is
currently being evaluated for hemorrhagic cystitis. LP-310 has
received FDA approval for clinical evaluation for the treatment of
OLP.
Dr. Michael Chancellor, Chief Medical Officer of Lipella
Pharmaceuticals, stated: “We are pleased to introduce this critical
registry with the aim of increasing awareness and accelerating
research into Oral Lichen Planus, a condition that urgently
requires effective treatment options for millions of sufferers
across the globe.”
Dr. Jonathan Kaufman, CEO of Lipella Pharmaceuticals, added: "We
are encouraged by the strong interest from all stakeholders
involved in improving patient outcomes and advancing coordinated
research for the Oral Lichen Planus community. This registry aligns
with our mission to enhance treatment approaches for this
challenging condition.”

About Oral Lichen PlanusOral Lichen Planus is a
debilitating condition marked by chronic oral mucosal lesions,
which present significant management challenges. The current
therapeutic landscape is limited, highlighting the urgent need for
innovative solutions. Lipella Pharmaceuticals is addressing this
gap through its Phase 2a clinical trial of LP-310, a novel
liposomal-tacrolimus oral rinse based on the company's lead
candidate LP-10, which is also being evaluated for hemorrhagic
cystitis.
