Health Canada approves Lipocine partner Verity's TLANDO oral testosterone; Canadian launch planned by end of 2026
Lipocine Inc.
- Health Canada approved TLANDO (testosterone undecanoate) capsules for testosterone replacement therapy in adult males with hypogonadism; fixed dose, no titration required.
- Licensing partner Verity Pharmaceuticals holds exclusive North American commercial rights and is planning launch and commercialization in Canada by the end of 2026.
- Canada's TRT market writes more than 700,000 prescriptions annually; roughly 50% of that patient population is covered through private insurance.
- Lipocine granted Verity exclusive US and Canada rights under a January 2024 license; Verity is responsible for regulatory, commercialization and franchise development.
- No financial terms, royalty rates or milestone amounts from the Verity agreement were disclosed; TLANDO is already FDA-approved in the US for hypogonadism.
