1 Confidential 1 SMSNA 2019 October 25, 2019 LPCN Oral T (TLANDO) Reduces Liver Fat in Men with Fat Liver Irwin Goldstein, MD University of California at San Diego Exhibit 99.1
2 Confidential Low T is Associated with NAFLD Across the Disease Spectrum Kim et al., BMC Gastroenterol 2012 "Men with low testosterone are at high risk for NAFLD" "Low T levels in cirrhotic men are associated with the mortality or transplantation" Sinclair et al., Liver Transplant 2016 NAFLD Cirrhosis 0 20 40 60 80 100 1 2 3 4 5 Prevalence of NAFLD(%) Testosterone quintile Free T (ng/dL) Free T (ng/dL) NASH Sumida et al., Gastroenterol Hepatol 2015 "Decreasing levels of free T correlated with increased incidence of inflammation, hepatocyte ballooning, NAS, and fibrosis."
3 Confidential LPCN Oral T Is Not Hepatotoxic TLANDO (Testosterone Undecanoate) vs Methyl Testosterone LPCN Oral T (TLANDO*) is a non - methylated, orally bioavailable prodrug of natural T Testosterone Undecanoate Testosterone 3 Methyl - TLANDO (Oral TU) * TLANDO, LPCN 1144, and LPCN 1021 include the same active pharmaceutical ingredient, API (Testosterone Undecanoate).
4 Confidential TLANDO Clinical Experience More than 700 subjects have been exposed to TLANDO across 14 clinical studies Two studies involved the assessment of liver health (liver fat changes and liver enzyme changes) Clinical Study # of Subjects Duration of Study Outcome Established SOAR* Trial [Open label active control] N = 315 210 - TLANDO 105 - Topical T 52 weeks Significant reduction of elevated liver enzymes Adequate & well tolerated safety profile Liver Fat Study (LFS) [Open label] N = 36 4 months Significant liver fat reduction Well tolerated safety profile * SOAR: Study Of Androgen Replacement

10 Confidential Conclusions Male hypogonadism is strongly associated with NAFLD. LPCN Oral T (TLANDO: Testosterone Undecanoate) is well tolerated and not hepatotoxic. - No reported cardiac, hepatic or drug related serious adverse events (SAEs) in more than 700 subjects across 14 clinical trials with exposure up to 52 weeks Unlike Topical T, TLANDO improved liver enzymes in hypogonadal men. TLANDO is beneficial on liver health demonstrated by liver enzyme improvement and liver fat reduction.
