Tinlarebant is reported as the first therapeutic candidate to show clinical efficacy in Stargardt disease by significantly reducing retinal lesion growth in the Phase 3 DRAGON trial. Belite Bio has started a rolling New Drug Application submission with the U.S. FDA, with completion targeted by the second quarter of 2026. The combination of orphan status in Switzerland and reported Phase 3 efficacy in Stargardt disease highlights regulatory and clinical milestones around tinlarebant that could shape expectations for the company’s lead program. Investors may want to focus on the timing, scope and outcomes of the rolling U.S. NDA process, since regulatory feedback and any additional data disclosures can influence both perceived approval risk and the potential addressable market in a rare disease setting.お知らせ • May 14Belite Bio, Inc to Report Q1, 2026 Results on May 20, 2026Belite Bio, Inc announced that they will report Q1, 2026 results on May 20, 2026お知らせ • Apr 24Belite Bio Initiates Rolling Submission of New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Tinlarebant for the Treatment of Stargardt DiseaseBelite Bio Inc. initiated a rolling submission of a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for tinlarebant, an investigational novel oral therapy for the treatment of Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1), a rare, inherited retinal disorder caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene. Tinlarebant has previously been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the FDA for STGD1, and the FDA has previously granted Belite approval for the rolling submission of the NDA. The Company expects to complete the NDA rolling submission in the second quarter of 2026. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy that is intended to reduce the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (known as bisretinoids) that cause retinal disease in STGD1 and also contribute to disease progression in geographic atrophy (GA), or advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Bisretinoids are by-products of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. Tinlarebant works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole carrier protein for retinol transport from the liver to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, tinlarebant reduces the formation of bisretinoids. Tinlarebant has been granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation, Fast Track Designation, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in the U.S., Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, and Sakigake Designation in Japan for the treatment of STGD1. The Company has completed a Phase 3 trial (DRAGON) in adolescent STGD1 subjects, and the drug is currently being evaluated in a Phase 2/3 trial (DRAGON II) in adolescent STGD1 subjects and a Phase 3 trial (PHOENIX) in subjects with GA.Breakeven Date Change • Mar 05Forecast breakeven date pushed back to 2028The 7 analysts covering Belite Bio previously expected the company to break even in 2027.

DRAGON II clinical trial is a global, 24-month, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tinlarebant in adolescent patients with STGD1. The trial had a targeted enrollment of 60 adolescent subjects aged 12 to 20 years old across Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom, with participants randomized 1:1 to receive either tinlarebant or placebo. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy that is intended to reduce the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (known as bisretinoids) that cause retinal disease in STGD1 and also contribute to disease progression in geographic atrophy (GA), or advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Average annual earnings growth of 59% is required to achieve expected profit on schedule.New Risk • Dec 12New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 21% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (21% increase in shares outstanding).お知らせ • Dec 02+ 2 more updatesBelite Bio, Inc. Announces Positive Topline Results from the Pivotal Global, Phase 3 DRAGON Trial of Tinlarebant in Adolescents with Stargardt DiseaseBelite Bio Inc. announced topline results from the global Phase 3 "DRAGON" trial of Tinlarebant, marking the first successful pivotal trial in patients with Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1). STGD1 is an eye disease that leads to progressive vision loss, usually beginning in childhood or young adulthood, and currently has no approved treatment worldwide. The Phase 3 DRAGON trial enrolled 104 patients with STGD1 and met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 36% reduction in the growth rate of retinal lesions, measured as definitely decreased autofluorescence (DDAF) by fundus autofluorescence imaging, compared with placebo. Statistical significance was reached when applying the pre-specified analysis (p-value = 0.0033). Considering the progressive nature typically seen in STGD1, a further post-hoc analysis providing a specific data correlation showed that the treatment effect remained consistent with a p-value < 0.0001. The significant lesion growth reduction observed in the DRAGON study, along with the favorable safety profile, provide important validation of therapeutic approach and the mechanism of Tinlarebant. Tinlarebant produced a clear and statistically significant treatment effect on DDAF lesion growth rate, not only in the study eye, but both eyes. Furthermore, the effect was supported by a statistically significant benefit in the key secondary endpoint, again in both eyes. Safety and tolerability of Tinlarebant was very favorable in the trial. Collectively, these data reinforce Tinlarebant's potential to change the treatment landscape for Stargardt disease and set a new benchmark for future research in inherited retinal disorders." The Company plans to engage regulatory authorities to discuss potential next steps and to submit New Drug Applications for Tinlarebant in the first half of 2026. Tinlarebant has been granted Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations in the U.S.; Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., Europe, and Japan; and Pioneer Drug Designation in Japan for STGD1. DDAF Data Highlights The DRAGON trial was a 24-month, randomized (2:1, active: placebo), double-masked, placebo-controlled, global, multi-center, pivotal Phase 3 trial in adolescent STGD1 patients. Patient Demographics: 104 patients (n=69 in tinlarebant arm and n=35 in placebo arm), ranging in age from age from age from age from 2026.

The Interim Analysis was performed when all subjects completed the one-year assessment. The study design for the DRAGON trial included an adaptive sample size re-estimation that would determine the need for an increase in sample size in order to enhance power, based on a treatment effect observed at the Interim Analysis. The recommendation by the DSMB that the trial should proceed without modifications indicates that a sample size increase is not warranted. In addition, the DSMB recommended to submit the data for further regulatory review for drug approval. According to the DSMB, Tinlarebant is well-tolerated and the safety profile remains consistent with previously observed data and the mechanism of action for Tinlarebant.New Risk • Feb 27New minor risk - ProfitabilityThe company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$33m Forecast net loss in 3 years: US$1.7m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat.

Presents Additional Analysis from Phase 2 Study of Tinlarebant in Stargardt Disease at the ARVO Annual MeetingBelite Bio Inc. announced additional findings from the 24-month Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant in adolescent Stargardt disease (STGD1) at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting. Tinlarebant is Belite Bio's orally administered tablet intended to slow disease progression in patients affected with STGD1 and Geographic Atrophy (GA) in advanced Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD). Genetic profiling was performed on the 13 adolescent STGD1 patients enrolled in a Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant. Eleven of these subjects (85%) harbored severe pathogenic/likely pathogenic ABCA4 variants. Despite these severe variants, 42% of Tinlarebant-treated subjects (5 out of 12) did not develop incident atrophic (definitely decreased autofluorescence, DDAF) retinal lesions and no change in questionably decreased autofluorescence (QDAF) was observed during the 24-month treatment period. Incident atrophic lesions appeared in seven subjects at different timepoints over 24 months; four of these subjects developed DDAF lesions after month 12. The mean DDAF lesion growth at month 24 was 0.51 mm2 with a range of variation of 0.4 mm2, a growth rate that is significantly lower than what has been observed in natural history studies. Importantly, six STGD1 patients who had a mean bilateral best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) loss of 10 letters per year prior to enrollment in the Phase 2 study showed a mean BCVA loss equivalent to 1.9 letters per year during the 24-month treatment period. Analysis of genotype-phenotype relationships revealed that sibling subjects with identical ABCA4 mutations had different rates of lesion growth and BCVA loss indicating that identical genotypes do not necessarily predict an identical course of disease. Notably, retinal imaging data from the Phase 2 study was reanalyzed using a novel lesion size quantification method that utilizes a mathematical classification of lesions to reduce subjective reader bias and provide enhanced accuracy and superior precision compared to the traditional method of DDAF lesion quantification. This analysis revealed DDAF lesions within the macula in 12 eyes of eight subjects at baseline. Analysis of change in atrophic lesion area within the macula of these eyes over 24 months showed a halt in lesion growth into the macula after 16 months. This finding is consistent with the observed stabilization of visual acuity.お知らせ • Apr 26Belite Bio, Inc has filed a Follow-on Equity Offering in the amount of $24.999964 million.Belite Bio, Inc has filed a Follow-on Equity Offering in the amount of $24.999964 million.

The DRAGON II trial is a combination of Phase 1b open-label study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Tinlarebant in Japanese adolescent STGD1 subjects and a Phase 2/3, global, multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 subjects. Approximately 60 subjects, aged 12 to 20 years old, including approximately 10 Japanese subjects, are targeted for enrollment in the Phase 2/3 portion of the trial with a 1:1 randomization (tinlarebant:placebo). The data from Japanese subjects is intended to facilitate future NDA applications in Japan. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy that is intended to reduce the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (known as bisretinoids) that cause retinal disease in STGD1 and also contribute to disease progression in GA, or advanced Dry AMD. Bisretinoids are by-products of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. Tinlarebant works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole carrier protein for retinol transport from the liver to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, Tinlarebant reduces the formation of bisretinoids. Tinlarebant has been granted Fast Track Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease designation in the U.S., and Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for the treatment of STGD1. STGD1 is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision) in both adults and children. The disease is caused by mutations in a retina-specific gene (ABCA4), which results in progressive accumulation of bisretinoids leading to retinal cell death and progressive loss of central vision. The fluorescent properties of bisretinoids and the development of retinal imaging systems have helped ophthalmologists identify and monitor disease progression. Currently, there are no FDA approved treatments for STGD1. Importantly, STGD1 and GA, or advanced Dry AMD, share a similar pathophysiology, which is characterized by the excessive accumulation of bisretinoids, retinal cell death, and progressive loss of vision. Vision loss occurs slowly, despite peripheral expansion of “dead retina,” until the disease reaches the center of the eye (the macula). Therefore, Belite Bio is evaluating safety and efficacy of Tinlarebant in GA patients in a 2-year Phase 3 study (PHOENIX). Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Geographic Atrophy, or GA, is the advanced stage of AMD. Currently, there are no FDA approved orally administered treatments for GA and no FDA approved therapies for the other stages of Dry AMD other than GA. There are an estimated 20 million AMD patients in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of USD 255 billion.Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Mar 17Chief Scientific Officer notifies of intention to sell stockNathan Mata intends to sell 6k shares in the next 90 days after lodging an Intent To Sell Form on the 14th of March.

Increase in shares outstanding: 9.5% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$13m net loss in 3 years). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (9.5% increase in shares outstanding).New Risk • Jul 29New major risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of American stocks, typically moving 16% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$1m.

An interim analysis of efficacy and safety is expected to be conducted at the mid-point of the trial.お知らせ • Jul 25Belite Bio, Inc. Completes Enrollment in Pivotal Global Phase 3 Dragon Trial Evaluating Oral Tinlarebant for Stargardt DiseaseBelite Bio Inc. announced that enrollment of its pivotal global Phase 3 "DRAGON" trial for patients with Stargardt Disease (STGD1) has completed. Tinlarebant is an oral, once daily retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) antagonist designed to lower levels of ocular vitamin-A based toxins implicated in STGD1. Professor Michel Michaelides, the Principal Investigator and the Chief Investigator of the DRAGON trial from Moorfields Eye Hospital in the United Kingdom, one of the top recruiting sites globally, added that, “It has been a pleasure and privilege to be one of the recruiting sites for this promising Phase 3 DRAGON trial. The sustained slowing of disease progression demonstrated in the 18-month Phase 2 trial for patients with STGD1 is highly encouraging, and further reinforces company's belief in the transformative potential of Tinlarebant to be the first FDA-approved treatment option for STGD1.”The pivotal Phase 3 DRAGON trial is a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global and multi-center study, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 patients. The DRAGON trial has global sites in 11 countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. 90 patients have been enrolled in this study with a 2:1 randomization (active:placebo). The primary efficacy endpoint is slowing of lesion growth rate, along with the assessment of safety and tolerability. Tinlarebant has been granted Fast Track Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in the U.S., and Orphan Drug Designation in both the U.S. and Europe for STGD1. Topline data for Tinlarebant in the Phase 2 STGD1 study is expected in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the interim data for the Phase 3 DRAGON trial is expected by mid-2024. In addition, Belite plans to have the first patient enrolled in the 2-year Phase 3 study (PHOENIX) of Tinlarebant in Geographic Atrophy (GA) in the third quarter of 2023.お知らせ • May 11Belite Bio, Inc to Report Q1, 2023 Results on May 10, 2023Belite Bio, Inc announced that they will report Q1, 2023 results on May 10, 2023お知らせ • Nov 19Belite Bio, Inc Finalizes Phase 3 Clinical Trial Plans for Advanced Dry AMD Treatment with Tinlarebant (LBS-008)Belite Bio Inc. announced that, following discussions with the FDA, it has finalized the study design for its planned Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of Tinlarebant (a/k/a LBS-008) in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) associated with Dry AMD. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy intended as an early intervention to prevent the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (bisretinoids) that cause STGD1 and contribute to pathogenesis in Dry AMD. Bisretinoids are formed as by-products of vitamin A in the visual cycle. Tinlarebant works by reducing the level of serum RBP4, the carrier protein which transports the retinol to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, Tinlarebant reduces the formation of bisretinoids to preserve the health of retinal tissues. STGD1 is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision) in both adults and children. The disease is caused by a dysfunctional retina-specific protein (ABCA4) which causes an early, aberrant accumulation of cytotoxic byproducts of vitamin A in the retina leading to retinal cell death and progressive loss of vision. There are currently no approved treatments available for STGD1. Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in the U.S. Dry AMD has a heterogenous etiology but shows a pathophysiology that is similar to that of STGD1 in which the excessive accumulation of cytotoxic bisretinoids leads to retinal cell death and loss of vision. There are an estimated 11 million patients with dry AMD in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of USD 255 billion. An advanced vision-threatening form of dry AMD is Geographic Atrophy (GA), which is characterized by progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and underlying choriocapillaris, followed by loss of photoreceptors within the retina, and ongoing visual impairment. Over 8 million people are affected worldwide with GA, which is approximately 20% of all individuals with AMD. The incidence of GA is expected to rise as the age-burden of developed countries is increasing. There are currently no approved treatments available for Dry AMD.Board Change • Nov 16Less than half of directors are independentFollowing the recent departure of a director, there are only 3 independent directors on the board.

While the company presented the results in a positive light in a Friday evening news release -- a majority of the subjects showed stabilization of visual acuity in at least one eye and no atrophic lesion in 12 of 13 subjects over 12 months of treatment, investors seem less than impressed. Data also showed that fundus autofluorescence imaging indicated no autofluorescence expansion in 7 of 13 participants and 9 of 13 subjects demonstrated a stabilization or improvement in visual acuity. The trial is slated to last for two years.お知らせ • Oct 03Belite Bio, Inc Presents 12-Month Interim Results of LBS-008 Phase 1b/2 Study in Adolescent Stargardt Disease At AAO Annual Meeting 2022Belite Bio Inc. presented one-year data from their ongoing two-year Phase 2 clinical study of Tinlarebant in STGD1 as part of the oral presentation series at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) held during September 30 - October 3, 2022 at McCormick Place, Chicago. To date, all 13 patients have completed one-year of treatment in the ongoing two-year Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant. The results for safety and tolerability assessments, and retinal imaging data have been collected for the evaluation of disease progression. Images from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging, an imaging modality that permits visualization of the retinal anatomy, have shown a stabilization of retinal thickness in many subjects. Fundus autofluorescence imaging shows no autofluorescence expansion (QDAF) in 7 of 13 (53.8%) subjects, and 12 of 13 (92.3%) subjects also show no atrophic lesion (DDAF) after one year of treatment. More importantly, 9 of 13 (69.2%) subjects show a stabilization or improvement in visual acuity throughout the one-year treatment period. According to the international prospective study of STGD1 (the ProgStar Study), childhood-onset patients with no atrophic lesion (DDAF) at baseline experienced an average lesion growth rate of 0.66 mm(2) for the left eyes and 0.74 mm(2) for the right eyes at one year. In addition, the Prospective Cohort Study of Childhood-Onset Stargardt Disease by Georgiou et al. reported an average atrophic lesion growth rate (DDAF) of 0.69 mm(2) /year for children. Belite Bio's one-year data from ongoing Phase 2 study showed an average lesion growth rate of 0.03 mm(2) /year, demonstrating a promising trend toward halting or slowing the disease progression in the study cohort. Belite Bio expects the next data readout in its Phase 2 STGD1 study to occur during the second quarter of 2023 when all subjects will complete 18 months of treatment.お知らせ • Sep 18Belite Bio Receives Approval of Lbs-008 Phase 3 Clinical Trial in ChinaBelite Bio Inc. announced the approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China to initiate the Phase 3 clinical trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 in China. Belite Bio's DRAGON trial is a 2-year Phase 2 trial and a 2-year Phase 3 trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects which is currently underway. The Phase 2 trial has enrolled a total of 13 subjects at clinical sites in Australia and Taiwan. Preliminary data from the Phase 2 trial at the first 6-month interval shows that 8 of the 13 patients (or 61.5%) recorded a gain in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in at least one eye, including 2 patients who recorded a BCVA gain in both eyes. In addition, there were no atrophic lesions in any of the 13 subjects at study start and only 1 subject showed evidence of a retinal lesion (0.3mm(2) in size) at 6-months. Belite expects the next data readout of this Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. The DRAGON trial is a phase 3, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global and multi-center study, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 patients. To date, the Company has commenced the DRAGON trial in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. The accumulation of toxic bisretinoids have also been implicated in the progression of Dry AMD, a disease with a huge unmet need, which primarily affects the elderly and shows a pathophysiology that is similar to that of STGD1. This finding has led to the sponsorship and endorsement of LBS-008 by the NIH Blueprint program as a promising first-in-class oral medication to slow or halt the progression of Dry AMD. Belite believes that LBS-008 has the potential to be an effective early intervention treatment to maintain the health of retinal tissues in Dry AMD. Belite plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial for Dry AMD in the fourth quarter of 2022.

LBS-008 is an orally-available, small molecule retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) antagonist that selectively reduces the delivery of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye, leading to a reduction of toxic vitamin A byproducts (bisretinoids) that have been implicated in the onset and progression of STGD1. Sponsored by the NIH Blueprint program to treat non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (Dry AMD), LBS-008 is also endorsed by NIH as a promising first-in-class oral medication to slow or halt the progression of Dry AMD, a disease which primarily affects the elderly and shares a similar pathophysiology as STGD1. There are currently no approved treatments for STGD1 or Dry AMD by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Belite Bio has completed multiple randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 trials of LBS-008 in healthy adult subjects, including a single ascending dose, or SAD trial in 40 subjects in the U.S., and a SAD trial in 39 subjects and a multiple ascending dose, or MAD, trial in 32 healthy adult subjects in Australia. These trials were conducted to confirm the safety, toxicity, PK, and PD of LBS-008 on a range of SAD (10-50 mg in the U.S.; 25-400 mg in Australia) /MAD (5-25 mg in Australia) levels in healthy adult subjects in fasted /fed conditions. All dose levels were well tolerated. Belite Bio is currently conducting a 2-year Phase 2 trial and a 2-year Phase 3 (DRAGON) trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects. The Phase 2 trial has enrolled a total of 13 subjects at clinical sites in Australia and Taiwan. Preliminary data from the Phase 2 trial at the first 6-month interval shows that 8 of the 13 patients (or 61.5%) recorded a gain in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in at least one eye, including 2 patients who recorded a BCVA gain in both eyes. In addition, there were no atrophic lesions in any of the 13 subjects at study start and only 1 subject showed evidence of a retinal lesion (~0.3mm2 in size) at 6 months. Belite Bio expects the next data readout of this Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. The Phase 3 (DRAGON) trial, a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global and multi-center study, is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 patients. To date, the Company has commenced the Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. Approximately 60 patients are targeted for enrollment in this study with a 2:1 randomization (active:placebo). Additionally, because the accumulation of toxic bisretinoids has also been implicated in the progression of Dry AMD, Belite Bio believes that LBS-008 has the potential to be effective for the treatment of Dry AMD as well.

Sponsored by the NIH Blueprint program to treat non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD), LBS-008 is also endorsed by NIH as a promising first-in-class oral medication intended to slow or halt the progression of dry AMD, a disease which primarily affects the elderly and shares a similar pathophysiology as STGD1. There are currently no FDA approved treatments for STGD1 or dry AMD. Belite Bio is currently conducting a 2-year Phase 2 trial and a 2-year Phase 3 trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects. The Phase 2 trial, which has enrolled 13 subjects at clinical sites in Australia and Taiwan, was initiated immediately following the successful completion of a Phase 1b dose-finding trial in the same adolescent STGD1 patients. The preliminary data from the Phase 2 trial at the first 6-month interval shows that 8 of the 13 patients (or 61.5%) recorded a gain in BCVA in at least one eye, including 2 patients who recorded a gain in BCVA in both eyes. And 12 of the 13 patients had no DDAF lesion measured at the start of Phase 2 and at 6-months, only 1 of the 13 patients had a DDAF lesion growth of 0.3mm2 in both eyes during the 6-month period. LBS-008 is a novel oral therapy that prevents the accumulation of toxic byproducts of vitamin A which are known to cause STGD1 and contribute to dry AMD. These toxins are byproducts of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A to the eye. LBS-008 works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), a carrier protein that transports retinol to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, LBS-008 reduces the formation of toxins which have been implicated in STGD1 and dry AMD. LBS-008 has been granted fast track designation, rare pediatric disease designation (RPD) in the U.S., and orphan drug designation (ODD) in the U.S. and Europe.Seeking Alpha • Jul 19Belite seeks FDA nod to proceed with phase 3 trial of genetic eye disease treatmentBelite Bio (NASDAQ:BLTE) on Tuesday said it had submitted an investigational new drug application to the U.S. FDA to proceed with its phase 3 trial of its oral tablet LBS-008 for the treatment of Stargardt disease (STGD1). STGD1 is a rare genetic eye disease that is characterized by fatty material build up on the macula. Belite Bio (BLTE) said it is currently conducting a 2-year phase 2 trial and a 2-year phase 3 trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects. The company said its phase 3 trial, called DRAGON, had already been approved for enrollment in the UK, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Australia. U.S.-listed shares of BLTE earlier closed +5.3% at $43.70.お知らせ • May 06Belite Bio, Inc Presents Interim Results of LBS-008 Phase 1b/2 Study in Adolescent STGD1 at ARVO Annual Meeting 2022Belite Bio Inc. (the ‘Company’) presented interim results of a Phase 1b/2 study of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 at The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting 2022. LBS-008 is Belite Bio’s lead asset being developed for the treatment of STGD1 and Dry AMD. John Grigg, the study’s principal investigator and Head Specialty of Ophthalmology at the University of Sydney and Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network Westmead and Sydney Eye Hospital provided a presentation of the study and data. Study Background - STGD1 is the most common inherited macular dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision). To date there are no treatments. This Phase 1b/2 study examined the safety and tolerability of LBS-008, a retinol binding protein 4 (RPB4) antagonist, in adolescent STGD1 subjects. Preclinical studies have shown that RBP4 inhibition slows disease progression and prevents retinal degeneration in a STGD1 animal model. Disease - Childhood-onset STGD1 is characterized by accumulation of bisretinoids which cause progressive retinal atrophy leading to rapid visual loss. Because bisretinoid toxins are derived from circulating vitamin A (retinol), reduction of retinol delivery to the eye, via antagonism of RPB4, has been explored as a means to slow disease progression in STGD1. LBS-008 is an orally administered, potent and specific non-retinoid antagonist of RPB4 and has been developed in order to determine whether reduction of circulating RPB4-retinol is a safe and effective treatment approach for STGD1 subjects. Trial Design - The Phase 1b/2 study is a multicenter, single arm, open-label study followed by a 2-year extension to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of LBS-008. Thirteen subjects aged 12-18 years will receive oral LBS-008 (5 mg) daily over a 2-year treatment period. One (1/13) subject is dosing at 2mg a day. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), PK/PD, and visual function outcomes will be evaluated. Results - All 13 subjects have received at least 7 months of treatment and have completed the scheduled assessments at the first 6-month interval. The preliminary safety results of the Phase 1b/2 study show that the only drug-related adverse events reported were: delayed dark adaptation (DDA), reported by 9 of 13 subjects (or 69.2%) of which, 6 subjects having recovered; xanthopsia/chromatopsia was reported by 9 subjects (or 69.2%), with 3 subjects having recovered; and night vision impairment, reported by 1 patient (or 7.7%). All AEs were graded as mild. No severe AEs were reported and no AEs required discontinuation of treatment. No clinically significant findings in relation to vital signs, physical exams, cardiac health, or organ functions. The majority of subjects (8 of 13, 61.5%) recorded a gain in BCVA (ETDRS score) in at least one eye indicating stabilization of visual acuity, including 2 subjects with visual improvement in both eyes. Retinal imaging by fundus autofluorescence photography showed a trend for preventing or slowing expansion of autofluorescence. Areas of questionably decreased autofluorescence were either unchanged or reduced in one or both eyes in 8 of 13 subjects. There was no conversion to definitely decreased autofluorescence (atrophic retina) in 12 of 13 subjects. 6 subjects showed an improvement (narrowing) of the Ellipsoid Zone defect width in at least one eye, including 3 subjects showing improvements in both eyes. Where quantitative autofluorescence was available qAF was correlated with improvements in VA. Conclusions - LBS-008 (5 mg p.o., daily) effectively reduces RBP4 levels by 80-90%. Safe and well tolerated at the 7-month time point. A trend for preventing or slowing expansion of autofluorescence. A trend for improvement of the EZ defect width. Visual acuity has stabilized in a majority of subjects. The Company expects the next near-term data readout in its STGD1 Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. LBS-008 - LBS-008 is a novel oral therapy that prevents the buildup of toxins in the eye that cause STGD1 and contribute to dry AMD. These toxins are by-products of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. LBS-008 works by reducing and maintaining the levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), a carrier protein that transports retinol to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the visual cycle, LBS-008 reduces the formation of the toxins which have been implicated in progression of STGD1 and dry AMD in order to maintain the health of retinal tissues. LBS-008 has been granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of STGD1. Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration - Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in the U.S. for which no approved treatments are available. There are an estimated 11 million dry AMD patients in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of $255 billion.お知らせ • May 05Belite Bio Receives FDA Fast Track Designation For LBS-008Belite Bio Inc. announced that LBS-008, an orally administered tablet, has been granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of STGD1.

New Risk • Dec 12New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 21% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (21% increase in shares outstanding).
お知らせ • Dec 02+ 2 more updatesBelite Bio, Inc. Announces Positive Topline Results from the Pivotal Global, Phase 3 DRAGON Trial of Tinlarebant in Adolescents with Stargardt DiseaseBelite Bio Inc. announced topline results from the global Phase 3 "DRAGON" trial of Tinlarebant, marking the first successful pivotal trial in patients with Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1). STGD1 is an eye disease that leads to progressive vision loss, usually beginning in childhood or young adulthood, and currently has no approved treatment worldwide. The Phase 3 DRAGON trial enrolled 104 patients with STGD1 and met its primary efficacy endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 36% reduction in the growth rate of retinal lesions, measured as definitely decreased autofluorescence (DDAF) by fundus autofluorescence imaging, compared with placebo. Statistical significance was reached when applying the pre-specified analysis (p-value = 0.0033). Considering the progressive nature typically seen in STGD1, a further post-hoc analysis providing a specific data correlation showed that the treatment effect remained consistent with a p-value < 0.0001. The significant lesion growth reduction observed in the DRAGON study, along with the favorable safety profile, provide important validation of therapeutic approach and the mechanism of Tinlarebant. Tinlarebant produced a clear and statistically significant treatment effect on DDAF lesion growth rate, not only in the study eye, but both eyes. Furthermore, the effect was supported by a statistically significant benefit in the key secondary endpoint, again in both eyes. Safety and tolerability of Tinlarebant was very favorable in the trial. Collectively, these data reinforce Tinlarebant's potential to change the treatment landscape for Stargardt disease and set a new benchmark for future research in inherited retinal disorders." The Company plans to engage regulatory authorities to discuss potential next steps and to submit New Drug Applications for Tinlarebant in the first half of 2026. Tinlarebant has been granted Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track, and Rare Pediatric Disease Designations in the U.S.; Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., Europe, and Japan; and Pioneer Drug Designation in Japan for STGD1. DDAF Data Highlights The DRAGON trial was a 24-month, randomized (2:1, active: placebo), double-masked, placebo-controlled, global, multi-center, pivotal Phase 3 trial in adolescent STGD1 patients. Patient Demographics: 104 patients (n=69 in tinlarebant arm and n=35 in placebo arm), ranging in age from age from age from age from 2026.

お知らせ • May 21Belite Bio, Inc. Announces FDA Granting of Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Tinlarebant for the Treatment of Stargardt DiseaseBelite Bio Inc. announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Tinlarebant for the treatment of Stargardt disease (STGD1) based on the previously reported interim data from the ongoing Phase 3 DRAGON trial. There are currently no approved treatments for STGD1. The FDA grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation to expedite the development and regulatory review of drugs that are intended for serious or life-threatening conditions. The designation is based on preliminary clinical evidence indicating that a drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints. Tinlarebant is an orally administered, once-a-day tablet intended as an early intervention for maintaining the health and integrity of retinal tissues in Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1) and Geographic Atrophy (GA) patients. Currently, there are no FDA approved treatments for STGD1 and no approved orally administered treatments for GA. Therefore, if approved, Tinlarebant would be a novel oral therapeutic addressing an unmet medical need in both STGD1 and GA.

New Risk • Mar 06New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 15% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (15% increase in shares outstanding).
お知らせ • Mar 01Belite Bio, Inc. Announces Interim Analysis Results from the Pivotal Global Phase 3 DRAGON Trial of Tinlarebant in Adolescent Stargardt Disease SubjectsBelite Bio Inc. announced that following a pre-specified Interim Analysis of the pivotal global Phase 3 "DRAGON" trial data of Tinlarebant in adolescent Stargardt disease patients, the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) has recommended the trial proceed without any modifications. The Interim Analysis was performed when all subjects completed the one-year assessment. The study design for the DRAGON trial included an adaptive sample size re-estimation that would determine the need for an increase in sample size in order to enhance power, based on a treatment effect observed at the Interim Analysis. The recommendation by the DSMB that the trial should proceed without modifications indicates that a sample size increase is not warranted. In addition, the DSMB recommended to submit the data for further regulatory review for drug approval. According to the DSMB, Tinlarebant is well-tolerated and the safety profile remains consistent with previously observed data and the mechanism of action for Tinlarebant.
New Risk • Feb 27New minor risk - ProfitabilityThe company is currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over the next 3 years. Trailing 12-month net loss: US$33m Forecast net loss in 3 years: US$1.7m This is considered a minor risk. Companies that are not profitable are more likely to be burning through cash and less likely to be well established. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 3 years (US$1.7m net loss in 3 years).

New Risk • Dec 06New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of American stocks, typically moving 10% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (12% increase in shares outstanding).

お知らせ • May 08Belite Bio, Inc. Presents Additional Analysis from Phase 2 Study of Tinlarebant in Stargardt Disease at the ARVO Annual MeetingBelite Bio Inc. announced additional findings from the 24-month Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant in adolescent Stargardt disease (STGD1) at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting. Tinlarebant is Belite Bio's orally administered tablet intended to slow disease progression in patients affected with STGD1 and Geographic Atrophy (GA) in advanced Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD). Genetic profiling was performed on the 13 adolescent STGD1 patients enrolled in a Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant. Eleven of these subjects (85%) harbored severe pathogenic/likely pathogenic ABCA4 variants. Despite these severe variants, 42% of Tinlarebant-treated subjects (5 out of 12) did not develop incident atrophic (definitely decreased autofluorescence, DDAF) retinal lesions and no change in questionably decreased autofluorescence (QDAF) was observed during the 24-month treatment period. Incident atrophic lesions appeared in seven subjects at different timepoints over 24 months; four of these subjects developed DDAF lesions after month 12. The mean DDAF lesion growth at month 24 was 0.51 mm2 with a range of variation of 0.4 mm2, a growth rate that is significantly lower than what has been observed in natural history studies. Importantly, six STGD1 patients who had a mean bilateral best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) loss of 10 letters per year prior to enrollment in the Phase 2 study showed a mean BCVA loss equivalent to 1.9 letters per year during the 24-month treatment period. Analysis of genotype-phenotype relationships revealed that sibling subjects with identical ABCA4 mutations had different rates of lesion growth and BCVA loss indicating that identical genotypes do not necessarily predict an identical course of disease. Notably, retinal imaging data from the Phase 2 study was reanalyzed using a novel lesion size quantification method that utilizes a mathematical classification of lesions to reduce subjective reader bias and provide enhanced accuracy and superior precision compared to the traditional method of DDAF lesion quantification. This analysis revealed DDAF lesions within the macula in 12 eyes of eight subjects at baseline. Analysis of change in atrophic lesion area within the macula of these eyes over 24 months showed a halt in lesion growth into the macula after 16 months. This finding is consistent with the observed stabilization of visual acuity.

お知らせ • Mar 22Belite Bio, Inc Announces PMDA Submission of Tinlarebant for Stargardt Disease Clinical Trial in JapanBelite Bio Inc. announced its submission to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) to initiate a clinical trial of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 in Japan (“DRAGON II”). The DRAGON II trial is a combination of Phase 1b open-label study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Tinlarebant in Japanese adolescent STGD1 subjects and a Phase 2/3, global, multicenter, double-masked, placebo-controlled, randomized study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 subjects. Approximately 60 subjects, aged 12 to 20 years old, including approximately 10 Japanese subjects, are targeted for enrollment in the Phase 2/3 portion of the trial with a 1:1 randomization (tinlarebant:placebo). The data from Japanese subjects is intended to facilitate future NDA applications in Japan. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy that is intended to reduce the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (known as bisretinoids) that cause retinal disease in STGD1 and also contribute to disease progression in GA, or advanced Dry AMD. Bisretinoids are by-products of the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. Tinlarebant works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole carrier protein for retinol transport from the liver to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, Tinlarebant reduces the formation of bisretinoids. Tinlarebant has been granted Fast Track Designation and Rare Pediatric Disease designation in the U.S., and Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for the treatment of STGD1. STGD1 is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision) in both adults and children. The disease is caused by mutations in a retina-specific gene (ABCA4), which results in progressive accumulation of bisretinoids leading to retinal cell death and progressive loss of central vision. The fluorescent properties of bisretinoids and the development of retinal imaging systems have helped ophthalmologists identify and monitor disease progression. Currently, there are no FDA approved treatments for STGD1. Importantly, STGD1 and GA, or advanced Dry AMD, share a similar pathophysiology, which is characterized by the excessive accumulation of bisretinoids, retinal cell death, and progressive loss of vision. Vision loss occurs slowly, despite peripheral expansion of “dead retina,” until the disease reaches the center of the eye (the macula). Therefore, Belite Bio is evaluating safety and efficacy of Tinlarebant in GA patients in a 2-year Phase 3 study (PHOENIX). Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Geographic Atrophy, or GA, is the advanced stage of AMD. Currently, there are no FDA approved orally administered treatments for GA and no FDA approved therapies for the other stages of Dry AMD other than GA. There are an estimated 20 million AMD patients in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of USD 255 billion.

お知らせ • Nov 19Belite Bio, Inc Finalizes Phase 3 Clinical Trial Plans for Advanced Dry AMD Treatment with Tinlarebant (LBS-008)Belite Bio Inc. announced that, following discussions with the FDA, it has finalized the study design for its planned Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of Tinlarebant (a/k/a LBS-008) in patients with geographic atrophy (GA) associated with Dry AMD. Tinlarebant is a novel oral therapy intended as an early intervention to prevent the accumulation of vitamin A-based toxins (bisretinoids) that cause STGD1 and contribute to pathogenesis in Dry AMD. Bisretinoids are formed as by-products of vitamin A in the visual cycle. Tinlarebant works by reducing the level of serum RBP4, the carrier protein which transports the retinol to the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, Tinlarebant reduces the formation of bisretinoids to preserve the health of retinal tissues. STGD1 is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision) in both adults and children. The disease is caused by a dysfunctional retina-specific protein (ABCA4) which causes an early, aberrant accumulation of cytotoxic byproducts of vitamin A in the retina leading to retinal cell death and progressive loss of vision. There are currently no approved treatments available for STGD1. Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in the U.S. Dry AMD has a heterogenous etiology but shows a pathophysiology that is similar to that of STGD1 in which the excessive accumulation of cytotoxic bisretinoids leads to retinal cell death and loss of vision. There are an estimated 11 million patients with dry AMD in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of USD 255 billion. An advanced vision-threatening form of dry AMD is Geographic Atrophy (GA), which is characterized by progressive atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium and underlying choriocapillaris, followed by loss of photoreceptors within the retina, and ongoing visual impairment. Over 8 million people are affected worldwide with GA, which is approximately 20% of all individuals with AMD. The incidence of GA is expected to rise as the age-burden of developed countries is increasing. There are currently no approved treatments available for Dry AMD.

Seeking Alpha • Oct 03Belite Bio down 21% after disappointing mid-stage results of rare eye disease candidateBelite Bio (NASDAQ:BLTE) is off 21% in Monday trading after reporting disappointing phase 2 results on tinlarebant for adolescent Stargardt Disease, a rare eye disease characterized by fatty material build-up in the macula. While the company presented the results in a positive light in a Friday evening news release -- a majority of the subjects showed stabilization of visual acuity in at least one eye and no atrophic lesion in 12 of 13 subjects over 12 months of treatment, investors seem less than impressed. Data also showed that fundus autofluorescence imaging indicated no autofluorescence expansion in 7 of 13 participants and 9 of 13 subjects demonstrated a stabilization or improvement in visual acuity. The trial is slated to last for two years.
お知らせ • Oct 03Belite Bio, Inc Presents 12-Month Interim Results of LBS-008 Phase 1b/2 Study in Adolescent Stargardt Disease At AAO Annual Meeting 2022Belite Bio Inc. presented one-year data from their ongoing two-year Phase 2 clinical study of Tinlarebant in STGD1 as part of the oral presentation series at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) held during September 30 - October 3, 2022 at McCormick Place, Chicago. To date, all 13 patients have completed one-year of treatment in the ongoing two-year Phase 2 study of Tinlarebant. The results for safety and tolerability assessments, and retinal imaging data have been collected for the evaluation of disease progression. Images from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography imaging, an imaging modality that permits visualization of the retinal anatomy, have shown a stabilization of retinal thickness in many subjects. Fundus autofluorescence imaging shows no autofluorescence expansion (QDAF) in 7 of 13 (53.8%) subjects, and 12 of 13 (92.3%) subjects also show no atrophic lesion (DDAF) after one year of treatment. More importantly, 9 of 13 (69.2%) subjects show a stabilization or improvement in visual acuity throughout the one-year treatment period. According to the international prospective study of STGD1 (the ProgStar Study), childhood-onset patients with no atrophic lesion (DDAF) at baseline experienced an average lesion growth rate of 0.66 mm(2) for the left eyes and 0.74 mm(2) for the right eyes at one year. In addition, the Prospective Cohort Study of Childhood-Onset Stargardt Disease by Georgiou et al. reported an average atrophic lesion growth rate (DDAF) of 0.69 mm(2) /year for children. Belite Bio's one-year data from ongoing Phase 2 study showed an average lesion growth rate of 0.03 mm(2) /year, demonstrating a promising trend toward halting or slowing the disease progression in the study cohort. Belite Bio expects the next data readout in its Phase 2 STGD1 study to occur during the second quarter of 2023 when all subjects will complete 18 months of treatment.
お知らせ • Sep 18Belite Bio Receives Approval of Lbs-008 Phase 3 Clinical Trial in ChinaBelite Bio Inc. announced the approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China to initiate the Phase 3 clinical trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 in China. Belite Bio's DRAGON trial is a 2-year Phase 2 trial and a 2-year Phase 3 trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects which is currently underway. The Phase 2 trial has enrolled a total of 13 subjects at clinical sites in Australia and Taiwan. Preliminary data from the Phase 2 trial at the first 6-month interval shows that 8 of the 13 patients (or 61.5%) recorded a gain in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in at least one eye, including 2 patients who recorded a BCVA gain in both eyes. In addition, there were no atrophic lesions in any of the 13 subjects at study start and only 1 subject showed evidence of a retinal lesion (0.3mm(2) in size) at 6-months. Belite expects the next data readout of this Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. The DRAGON trial is a phase 3, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global and multi-center study, designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 patients. To date, the Company has commenced the DRAGON trial in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. The accumulation of toxic bisretinoids have also been implicated in the progression of Dry AMD, a disease with a huge unmet need, which primarily affects the elderly and shows a pathophysiology that is similar to that of STGD1. This finding has led to the sponsorship and endorsement of LBS-008 by the NIH Blueprint program as a promising first-in-class oral medication to slow or halt the progression of Dry AMD. Belite believes that LBS-008 has the potential to be an effective early intervention treatment to maintain the health of retinal tissues in Dry AMD. Belite plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial for Dry AMD in the fourth quarter of 2022. About LBS-008 LBS-008 is a novel oral therapy intended as an early intervention to prevent the buildup of toxins in the eye that cause STGD1 and contribute to Dry AMD. These toxins are by-products of vitamin A in the visual cycle, which is dependent on the supply of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye. LBS-008 works by reducing and maintaining levels of serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the sole carrier protein for transport of retinol into the eye. By modulating the amount of retinol entering the eye, LBS-008 reduces the formation of vitamin A-based toxins which have been implicated in STGD1 and Dry AMD in order to maintain the health of retinal tissues. LBS-008 has been granted Fast Track Designation, Rare Pediatric Disease Designation in the U.S., and Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of STGD1. Stargardt Disease STGD1 is the most common inherited retinal dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision) in both adults and children. The disease is caused by a dysfunctional retina-specific gene (ABCA4) which results in massive accumulation of toxic vitamin A byproducts (known as 'bisretinoids') in the retina leading to retinal cell death and progressive loss of central vision. The fluorescent properties of bisretinoids and the development of retinal imaging have helped ophthalmologists identify and monitor disease progression. STGD1 and Dry AMD share a similar pathophysiology characterized by excessive accumulation of cytotoxic bisretinoids, retinal cell death, and loss of vision. Vision loss occurs slowly, despite peripheral expansion of 'dead retina', until the disease reaches the center of the eye (the macula). Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Dry AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in the U.S. There are no approved treatments available for Dry AMD. There are an estimated 11 million Dry AMD patients in the U.S. and over 196 million patients worldwide with an estimated global direct healthcare cost of US$255 billion.

お知らせ • Aug 23Belite Bio Initiates Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Lbs-008 in Stargardt Disease in the U.SBelite Bio Inc. announced that it has commenced enrollment for the U.S. Phase 3 clinical trial of LBS-008 in patients with Stargardt Disease (STGD1), a progressively blinding disease with no approved treatment. LBS-008 is an orally-available, small molecule retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) antagonist that selectively reduces the delivery of vitamin A (retinol) to the eye, leading to a reduction of toxic vitamin A byproducts (bisretinoids) that have been implicated in the onset and progression of STGD1. Sponsored by the NIH Blueprint program to treat non-neovascular age-related macular degeneration (Dry AMD), LBS-008 is also endorsed by NIH as a promising first-in-class oral medication to slow or halt the progression of Dry AMD, a disease which primarily affects the elderly and shares a similar pathophysiology as STGD1. There are currently no approved treatments for STGD1 or Dry AMD by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Belite Bio has completed multiple randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 trials of LBS-008 in healthy adult subjects, including a single ascending dose, or SAD trial in 40 subjects in the U.S., and a SAD trial in 39 subjects and a multiple ascending dose, or MAD, trial in 32 healthy adult subjects in Australia. These trials were conducted to confirm the safety, toxicity, PK, and PD of LBS-008 on a range of SAD (10-50 mg in the U.S.; 25-400 mg in Australia) /MAD (5-25 mg in Australia) levels in healthy adult subjects in fasted /fed conditions. All dose levels were well tolerated. Belite Bio is currently conducting a 2-year Phase 2 trial and a 2-year Phase 3 (DRAGON) trial of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 subjects. The Phase 2 trial has enrolled a total of 13 subjects at clinical sites in Australia and Taiwan. Preliminary data from the Phase 2 trial at the first 6-month interval shows that 8 of the 13 patients (or 61.5%) recorded a gain in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in at least one eye, including 2 patients who recorded a BCVA gain in both eyes. In addition, there were no atrophic lesions in any of the 13 subjects at study start and only 1 subject showed evidence of a retinal lesion (~0.3mm2 in size) at 6 months. Belite Bio expects the next data readout of this Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. The Phase 3 (DRAGON) trial, a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, global and multi-center study, is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 patients. To date, the Company has commenced the Phase 3 clinical trial in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Australia. Approximately 60 patients are targeted for enrollment in this study with a 2:1 randomization (active:placebo). Additionally, because the accumulation of toxic bisretinoids has also been implicated in the progression of Dry AMD, Belite Bio believes that LBS-008 has the potential to be effective for the treatment of Dry AMD as well. Belite Bio plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial for Dry AMD in the 4th quarter of 2022.

お知らせ • May 06Belite Bio, Inc Presents Interim Results of LBS-008 Phase 1b/2 Study in Adolescent STGD1 at ARVO Annual Meeting 2022Belite Bio Inc. (the ‘Company’) presented interim results of a Phase 1b/2 study of LBS-008 in adolescent STGD1 at The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual Meeting 2022. LBS-008 is Belite Bio’s lead asset being developed for the treatment of STGD1 and Dry AMD. John Grigg, the study’s principal investigator and Head Specialty of Ophthalmology at the University of Sydney and Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network Westmead and Sydney Eye Hospital provided a presentation of the study and data. Study Background - STGD1 is the most common inherited macular dystrophy (causing blurring or loss of central vision). To date there are no treatments. This Phase 1b/2 study examined the safety and tolerability of LBS-008, a retinol binding protein 4 (RPB4) antagonist, in adolescent STGD1 subjects. Preclinical studies have shown that RBP4 inhibition slows disease progression and prevents retinal degeneration in a STGD1 animal model. Disease - Childhood-onset STGD1 is characterized by accumulation of bisretinoids which cause progressive retinal atrophy leading to rapid visual loss. Because bisretinoid toxins are derived from circulating vitamin A (retinol), reduction of retinol delivery to the eye, via antagonism of RPB4, has been explored as a means to slow disease progression in STGD1. LBS-008 is an orally administered, potent and specific non-retinoid antagonist of RPB4 and has been developed in order to determine whether reduction of circulating RPB4-retinol is a safe and effective treatment approach for STGD1 subjects. Trial Design - The Phase 1b/2 study is a multicenter, single arm, open-label study followed by a 2-year extension to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of LBS-008. Thirteen subjects aged 12-18 years will receive oral LBS-008 (5 mg) daily over a 2-year treatment period. One (1/13) subject is dosing at 2mg a day. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs), PK/PD, and visual function outcomes will be evaluated. Results - All 13 subjects have received at least 7 months of treatment and have completed the scheduled assessments at the first 6-month interval. The preliminary safety results of the Phase 1b/2 study show that the only drug-related adverse events reported were: delayed dark adaptation (DDA), reported by 9 of 13 subjects (or 69.2%) of which, 6 subjects having recovered; xanthopsia/chromatopsia was reported by 9 subjects (or 69.2%), with 3 subjects having recovered; and night vision impairment, reported by 1 patient (or 7.7%). All AEs were graded as mild. No severe AEs were reported and no AEs required discontinuation of treatment. No clinically significant findings in relation to vital signs, physical exams, cardiac health, or organ functions. The majority of subjects (8 of 13, 61.5%) recorded a gain in BCVA (ETDRS score) in at least one eye indicating stabilization of visual acuity, including 2 subjects with visual improvement in both eyes. Retinal imaging by fundus autofluorescence photography showed a trend for preventing or slowing expansion of autofluorescence. Areas of questionably decreased autofluorescence were either unchanged or reduced in one or both eyes in 8 of 13 subjects. There was no conversion to definitely decreased autofluorescence (atrophic retina) in 12 of 13 subjects. 6 subjects showed an improvement (narrowing) of the Ellipsoid Zone defect width in at least one eye, including 3 subjects showing improvements in both eyes. Where quantitative autofluorescence was available qAF was correlated with improvements in VA. Conclusions - LBS-008 (5 mg p.o., daily) effectively reduces RBP4 levels by 80-90%. Safe and well tolerated at the 7-month time point. A trend for preventing or slowing expansion of autofluorescence. A trend for improvement of the EZ defect width. Visual acuity has stabilized in a majority of subjects. The Company expects the next near-term data readout in its STGD1 Phase 2 trial to occur in the last quarter of 2022 when all subjects have completed 12 months of treatment. LBS-008 - LBS-008 is a novel oral therapy that prevents the buildup of toxins in the eye that cause STGD1 and contribute to dry AMD.
