Taiwan Liposome Company, Ltd. (TLC) products

TLC599 is our proprietary BioSeizer^® formulation of dexamethasone  sodium phosphate (DSP) designed to provide sustained pain management for up to 24 weeks. TLC599 has the potential to enable patients to receive both immediate and sustained benefit from the local delivery of a highly potent and clinically validated steroid that typically has a very short half-life. Our clinical data suggests that we may be able to achieve a best-in-class duration of action for an intraarticular steroid.

TLC590 brings sustained release delivery technology to the common anesthetic ropivacaine, with the goal of reducing the frequency of administration for local anesthesia for post-surgical pain. More effective pain relief may also allow patients to avoid the problems of opioid therapies often used for the treatment of post-surgical pain.In a Phase I/II clinical trial in patients following hernia repair surgery, TLC590 demonstrated durable, statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement over the standard of care through 96 hours. 58.3% of patients who received TLC590 did not use any rescue opioids at all through the duration of the study; among those who did use rescue opioids, time to first postsurgical opioid use was about four times that of the ropivacaine group (standard of care), and mean total opioid consumption was 54% less through 96 hours post-surgery.
