About LPCN 1148
Lipocine is currently evaluating LPCN 1148 comprising
testosterone laurate ("TL") for the management of decompensated

patients with advanced cirrhosis including improvement in the
quality of life of patients while on the liver transplant waitlist,
prevention or reduction in the occurrence of new decompensation
events such as hepatic encephalopathy ("HE"), and improvement in
post liver transplant outcomes including survival and costs.
