Lipocine Inc. announced that Phase 2 results on LPCN 1148 in cirrhosis were featured in a late breaking oral presentation at the European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL) Congress on Saturday, June 8, in Milan, Italy. The presentation "Intervention with oral LPCN 1148 improves sarcopenia and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in patients with cirrhosis: a 52-week phase 2 randomized clinical trial" was presented by Arun J. Sanyal, MD, Director, Stravitz-Sanyal Institute for Liver Disease and Metabolic Health, Virginia Commonwealth University. The presentation is featured in the symposium "Revolutionary Advances in Liver Disease Research Unveiled at EASL Congress 2024".

The Company believes LPCN 1148 targets unmet needs for patients with cirrhosis including improvement in the quality of life of patients while on the liver transplant waiting list, prevention or reduction in the occurrence of new decompensation events such as hepatic encephalopathy ("HE"), and improvement in post liver transplant survival, including outcomes and costs.
