| | SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lipocine Inc. (NASDAQ: LPCN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative products for metabolic and endocrine disorders, today announced that Antares Pharma, Inc. issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) has accepted its New Drug Application (“NDA”) resubmission for TLANDO® (testosterone undecanoate). The FDA designated the NDA as a Class 1 resubmission with a two-month review goal period and set a target action date of March 28, 2022, under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA). Lipocine licensed the exclusive U.S. rights for TLANDO® to Antares Pharma. 
The FDA previously granted tentative approval for TLANDO®, an oral treatment for testosterone replacement therapy (“TRT”) in adult males for conditions associated with a deficiency of endogenous testosterone, also known as hypogonadism. In granting tentative approval, the FDA concluded that TLANDO® met all required quality, safety, and efficacy standards necessary for approval and will be eligible for final approval and marketing in the U.S. upon expiration of the exclusivity period previously granted to Clarus Therapeutics, Inc. for JATENZO® on March 27, 2022. About Lipocine
Lipocine Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on metabolic and endocrine disorders using its proprietary drug delivery technologies. Lipocine’s clinical development pipeline includes: TLANDO®, TLANDO XR, LPCN 1144, LPCN 1148, LPCN 1107 and oral neurosteroids. TLANDO, a novel oral prodrug of testosterone containing testosterone undecanoate, has received tentative approval from the FDA for conditions associated with a deficiency of endogenous testosterone, also known as hypogonadism, in adult males. TLANDO XR, 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. In a phase 2 clinical evaluation when administered as once or twice daily, TLANDO XR met the typical primary and secondary endpoints. LPCN 1144, an oral prodrug of bioidentical testosterone, recently completed a Phase 2 clinical study demonstrating potential utility in the treatment of non-cirrhotic NASH. LPCN 1148 is an oral prodrug of bioidentical testosterone targeted for the management of symptoms associated with liver cirrhosis. LPCN 1107 is potentially the first oral hydroxyprogesterone caproate product candidate indicated for the prevention of recurrent preterm birth and has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA.
