Current report
LPCN 2401 is in a very early stage of development and may not be further developed for a variety of reasons.
Current report
LPCN 2401 is in a very early stage of development and consequently the risk that we may fail to develop, commercialize, or partner LPCN 2401 and related products is high. This development program is susceptible to technical failures in future clinical studies and regulatory hurdles for further testing and/or meeting the FDA’s needs for NDA filing or approval. The result of a possible POC Phase 2 study may not be indicative of ultimate success in a larger Phase 2 or Phase 3 clinical study and, although we are exploring the possibility of partnering LPCN 2401 to a third party for further development and commercialization, we may not be able to identify potential partners or successfully enter into partnership arrangements on terms favorable to us, if at all. We may not be able to further test in-clinic in a timely manner or at all due to other regulatory hurdles. In addition, LPCN 2401 in combination with incretin mimetics may not be effective in achieving weight loss and improving body composition or may not have differentiation from competitive products on the market or in development. Pending resource availability, we may expend significant resources before determining that these programs are not viable candidates for regulatory approval and commercialization.

Previous wording
We account for the common stock warrants as a derivative instrument, and changes in the fair value of the warrants are included under other income (expense) in the Company’s statements of operations for each reporting period. On March 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of the warrant liability included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet was approximately $57,000. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the warrants. As a result, the option-pricing model requires the input of several assumptions, including the stock price volatility, share price and risk-free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. While the liability may only result from a change of control at that point in time, we ultimately may incur amounts significantly different than the carrying value.

We have focused a significant portion of our efforts on developing TLANDO and more recently on LPCN 1154, LPCN 1148, and LPCN 1144. We have funded our operations to date through sales of our equity securities, debt and payments received under our license and collaboration arrangements. We have incurred losses in most years since our inception. As of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $196.3 million. Substantially all of our operating losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. These losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. We expect to continue to incur significant research and development expenses in connection with clinical trials associated with LPCN 1154, and potentially with LPCN 2101, LPCN 2203, LPCN 2401. LPCN 1148, LPCN 1144 and LPCN 1107, if further clinical trials are initiated. As a result, we expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we evaluate further clinical development of LPCN 1154, LPCN 2101, LPCN 2203, LPCN 2401 and possibly LPCN 1148, LPCN 1144, and LPCN 1107, in addition to our other programs and continued research efforts. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing pharmaceutical products, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable, if at all.
