Talphera Inc. (TLPH)

[Whalatane]

Copy from a friend asking what's up with TLPH ..my response

TLPH. New mission … to get a drug used in Korea and Japan approved in the US
From memory- heparin is used in dialysis to prevent clotting … it has a fairly long half life
The problem is those admitted to the ICU after surgery or from a serious accident and need dialysis …. Need something that prevents clotting but only for a short time … as these patients often have high bleeding risk
That’s what TLPH’s drug does …. Reduces clotting for a short time
FDA requires a US trial before approval
Problem … since Covid a lot of the hospital staff that set up these trials have retired
So it’s been slow to get this pivotal trial going But looks like it may finally be underway

So either that or more funding
