Lipella Pharmaceuticals (LIPO) Launches Patient Registry and Unveils Advanced Bladder Imaging Technique

The clinical stage biopharma company Lipella Pharmaceuticals (LIPO) has launched an Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) Patient Registry. This online platform is designed to enhance research and drive the development of new treatments for OLP, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the mucous membranes of the mouth. OLP affects approximately 6M Americans and currently has no FDA-approved therapy.

The registry is now available, and the site provides additional information on the investigational study of LP-310 for OLP, an oral rinse derived from the company’s lead candidate, LP-10, which is currently being evaluated for hemorrhagic cystitis. LP-310 has received FDA approval for clinical evaluation for the treatment of OLP.

Additionally, Lipella has been highlighting clinical data on LP-20, a novel MRI contrast agent designed for diagnosing interstitial cystitis and detecting bladder cancer at the 5th International Consultation on Interstitial Cystitis Japan (ICICJ) in Kyoto, Japan, taking place August 21-23, 2024.

LP-20, which has completed preclinical and proof-of-concept human trials, is administered via catheter into the bladder. It uses advanced MRI technology to identify bladder permeability defects, aiding in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and the detection of bladder cancer progression to muscle invasive bladder cancer.

Dr. Michael Chancellor, Chief Medical Officer at Lipella, commented, “The use of MRI to measure bladder permeability defects offers a potential breakthrough in diagnosing IC/BPS and bladder cancer. This innovative imaging technique addresses significant unmet needs in urology and could greatly enhance patient care. We look forward to sharing our findings with the international scientific community as we continue to develop needed therapeutics for serious diseases.”
