    On August 25, 2021, Lipocine announced that its investigational therapy LPCN 1144 has obtained positive results in the Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical trial LiFT for the treatment of male patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)


    This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled LiFT trial recruited male NASH patients with F1-F3 stage fibrosis confirmed by biopsy and NAFLD activity score ≥4, and their gonadal function was hypothyroid or normal


    When the trial reached the primary endpoint, that is, at week 12, as assessed by MRI-PDFF, LPCN 1144 treatment resulted in a 46.


    In terms of secondary endpoints, after 36 weeks of treatment, according to the histological NASH CRN score of the liver, the two LPCN 1144 treatment groups reached the criteria for significantly eliminating NASH symptoms and not causing liver fibrosis to worsen
