Belite Bio Initiates Rolling Submission of New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for Tinlarebant for the Treatment of Stargardt Disease Belite 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.

Belite Bio, Inc. Announces FDA Granting of Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Tinlarebant for the Treatment of Stargardt Disease Belite 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.

Belite Bio, Inc. Announces Interim Analysis Results from the Pivotal Global Phase 3 DRAGON Trial of Tinlarebant in Adolescent Stargardt Disease Subjects Belite 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. Announcement • Feb 07

Belite Bio, Inc. Presents Additional Analysis from Phase 2 Study of Tinlarebant in Stargardt Disease at the ARVO Annual Meeting Belite 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. Announcement • Apr 26
