Tinlarebant is Belite Bio’s orally administered tablet intended to slow disease progression in patients affected with Stargardt Disease (STGD1) and Geographic Atrophy (GA) in advanced Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD) Data from a 24-month Phase 2 trial in adolescent STGD1 subjects showed a sustained lower atrophic lesion growth in Tinlarebant-treated subjects compared to ProgStar participants possessing similar baseline characteristics (aged ≤18 years) (p<0.001) In the Phase 2 trial, 5 of 12 subjects (42%) with known pathogenic ABCA4 mutations, no incident atrophic (DDAF) lesions were formed during the 24-month treatment period and no change in autofluorescent (QDAF) lesions was observed Enrollment of a pivotal global Phase 3 trial of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 subjects (“DRAGON”) has been completed with interim data expected in 4Q 2024 Initiated DRAGON II trial of Tinlarebant in adolescent STGD1 patients Tinlarebant has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in Japan for the treatment of STGD1 A global Phase 3 trial in GA (“PHOENIX”) is ongoing SAN DIEGO, June 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Belite Bio, Inc (NASDAQ: BLTE) (“Belite Bio” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical drug development company focused on advancing novel therapeutics targeting degenerative retinal diseases that have significant unmet medical needs, today announces that its lead pipeline, Tinlarebant, has been granted Sakigake Designation by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan (MHLW) for the treatment of STGD1. Sakigake designation was established by MHLW to accelerate drug approval process in Japan for innovative drugs with prominent effectiveness targeting serious diseases, in order to make them available to patients in Japan ahead of the rest of the world, by providing (a) prioritized consultation, (b) pre-application consultation, (c) prioritized review, (d) assignment of a review partner, and (e) extension of re-examination period. About Tinlarebant (a/k/a LBS-008) 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., Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. Europe, and Japan, and Sakigake Designation in Japan for the treatment of STGD1. Stargardt Disease (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). GA in advanced Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration (Dry AMD) 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 US$255 billion.

We are encouraged by these findings and look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to evaluate the potentially life-changing impact of this therapy in our ongoing STGD1 trials, DRAGON & DRAGON II, as well as in GA through our PHOENIX trial.” First Quarter 2024 Business Highlights and Upcoming Milestones: Clinical Highlights Tinlarebant (LBS-008) is designed to be an oral, potent, once daily retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) antagonist that decreases RBP4 levels in the blood and reduces vitamin A (retinol) delivery to the eye without disrupting systemic retinol delivery to other tissues. Vitamin A is critical to normal vision but can accumulate as toxic byproducts in individuals affected with STGD1 and GA (the advanced form of Dry AMD) leading to retinal cell death and loss of vision. Stargardt disease (STGD1): Accumulation of cytotoxic vitamin A byproducts (bisretinoids) has been implicated in the onset and progression of STGD1. Tinlarebant has been granted Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease (RPD) designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and orphan drug designation (ODD) in the U.S., Europe, and Japan for STGD1. There are currently no FDA approved treatments for STGD1.

Additional analysis of visual acuity loss, genotypic profiles, and retinal imaging data from a 24-month Phase 2 trial of Tinlarebant in adolescent Stargardt disease patients provides further support for the potential of Tinlarebant to slow and potentially halt lesion growthIn 5 of 12 subjects (42%) with known pathogenic ABCA4 mutations, no incident atrophic (DDAF) lesions were formed during the 24-month treatment period and no change in QDAF was observedA novel lesion size quantification method that can better detect atrophic lesions revealed 8 of 12 subjects with atrophic lesion involvement within the macula at baseline; growth of these lesions into the macula was halted during the second year In 6 subjects with prior bilateral BCVA loss (mean ~10 letters/year), mean BCVA loss over 24 months was 1.9 letters/year Sibling subjects with identical ABCA4 mutations showed different rates of QDAF/DDAF lesion growth and BCVA loss Tinlarebant is currently being evaluated in adolescent Stargardt disease in a Phase 3 DRAGON study, with interim data expected in 4Q 2024, and a combination Phase 1b and Phase 2/3 DRAGON II trial, and in Geographic Atrophy in a Phase 3 PHOENIX study SAN DIEGO, May 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Belite Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: BLTE) (“Belite Bio” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical drug development company focused on advancing novel therapeutics targeting degenerative retinal diseases that have significant unmet medical needs, today 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. “Data from the genotype and lesion growth analyses from our completed Phase 2 trial continues to demonstrate the efficacy of Tinlarebant,” said Dr. Nathan Mata, CSO of Belite Bio. “The stabilization of visual acuity, particularly in patients with significant visual acuity loss prior to study enrollment, as well as the observation that 42% of the Tinlarebant-treated subjects did not develop atrophic retinal lesions during the course of treatment despite the presence of severe pathogenic ABCA4 variants, suggests that Tinlarebant holds great promise toward slowing or even preventing the development of atrophic lesions to alter the course of disease and provide a meaningful benefit for patients.” “Traditional measurement of DDAF relies heavily on subjective assessment of the grader without a specific focus on key regions, potentially leading to less precise measurements,” added Professor John Grigg, Principal Investigator, Head Specialty of Ophthalmology at the University of Sydney and Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network at Westmead and Sydney Eye Hospital who presented the data. “The recent analysis of retinal images using a novel lesion size quantification method that focuses solely on the macular region or even smaller areas with greater precision and accuracy, revealed that 8 subjects did have atrophic lesions within the macula at the time of enrollment. Moreover, analysis of change in atrophic lesion area within the macula in these subjects over 24 months reveals that the lesion growth has stopped after month 16. These findings suggest that the baseline character of the subjects in the Phase 2 trial is similar to the those in the ongoing Phase 3 trial and similar outcome may be expected in the ongoing Phase 3 trials, and Tinlarebant may not only prevent healthy retinal cells from A2E damage, but also potentially even halt disease progression.” These new findings continue to support Tinlarebant as a promising oral treatment for STGD1 patients.
