Lipocine shares tum­ble (again) af­ter the FDA shows an­oth­er testos­terone ther­a­py the door

An­oth­er testos­terone ther­a­py is get­ting the heave ho at the FDA.

Lipocine $LPCN re­port­ed this morn­ing that the agency has is­sued a com­plete re­sponse let­ter re­ject­ing Tlando as a new ther­a­py for hy­pog­o­nadism. The biotech spelled out what the FDA says is lack­ing in the ap­pli­ca­tion, and plans to fol­low up with a sit-down to de­fine a path back to a new pitch.

Shares of the biotech tum­bled 15%.

The FDA has sig­nif­i­cant­ly raised the bar on testos­terone re­place­ment treat­ments, un­hap­py with the way they’ve been wide­ly used by a gray­ing gen­er­a­tion of men — de­spite some health risks.
