Clarus Therapeutics Seeks Injunction Against The Marketing Of Lipocine Inc.'s Oral Product For Testosterone Replacement Therapy (LPCN 1021)

NORTHBROOK, Ill., Nov. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clarus Therapeutics, Inc. today filed a lawsuit against Lipocine, Inc. for infringing a Clarus patent, namely U.S. Patent 8,828,428 ("the '428 patent") entitled "Pharmaceutical Delivery Systems for Hydrophobic Drugs and Compositions Comprising Same."

This lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Delaware, asserts that the '428 patent covers Lipocine's LPCN 1021 product, an oral product candidate for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency or absence of endogenous testosterone (hypogonadism).
