Study evaluated LPCN 2401 in participants with obesity (BMI ≥30) and participants with BMI ≥27 with at least one weight-related comorbidity

SALT LAKE CITY , Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lipocine Inc. (NASDAQ: LPCN), a biopharmaceutical company leveraging its proprietary technology platform to augment therapeutics through effective oral delivery, today announced that a poster featuring Phase 2 data on LPCN 2401 will be presented at the Obesity Society's Annual ObesityWeek® conference to be held November 3 – 6, 2024 in San Antonio, TX.

 

About LPCN 2401

LPCN 2401 is an oral formulation of a proprietary combination of anabolic androgen receptor agonist and α-alpha tocopherol, an antioxidant metabolic modifier. Data from preclinical and clinical studies support the potential of LPCN 2401 in gaining lean mass while losing fat mass. As adjunct therapy to incretin mimetics, LPCN 2401 has potential to attenuate weight rebound, ameliorate loss of muscle mass, improve muscle quality and functionality, amplify fat mass loss with improved body composition, and potential to maintain weight, prevent "fat overshoot," and accelerate muscle rebound post incretin mimetic discontinuation.
