A Therapeutic Treatment For Postpartum Depression 

PPD is a major depressive disorder that is under diagnosed in the U.S., impacts approximately 1 in 7 women after giving birth. PPD can lead to devastating consequences for a woman, her newborn and her family. Currently, there is no oral therapy approved for the treatmant of PPD. The active moiety in LPCN 1154 is an endogenous positive allosteric modulator of y-aminobutyric acid ("GABAa") receptor. LPCN 1154 is expected to be an "at home" treatment with easier treatment access than the current standard of care invasive option that requires hospitalization with significant limitations. Moreover, LPCN 1154 is expected to provide the required level of privacy for a mother, avoiding bonding/breast feeding interruptions due to the required hospitalizations for the current option.
