Lipella Pharmaceuticals announced that the FDA has approved an investigational new drug (IND) application for a multi-center, Phase IIa, dose-escalation clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of LP-310 in patients with symptomatic oral lichen planus (OLP). In March of this year, the organization created a scientific advisory board to focus on the development of LP-310.

"OLP is a painful oral mucosal disease that currently has no approved therapy. We look forward to the opportunity to develop an effective treatment,” said Michael Chancellor, MD, chief medical officer, Lipella, in a company press release.
