Belite Bio (BLTE US) shares jumped 383% from its IPO price of $6 (announced in late April). Its lead candidate LBS-008 is in clinical trial for currently untreatable eye diseases.
LBS-008 continues to be well-tolerated. Interim safety and preliminary efficacy data from ongoing two-year phase 2 trial remained positive in Stargardt disease.
Belite is well-funded to commercialize its pipeline. With the progression of the clinical trial and more data readouts, we believe further stream is left in Belite Bio’s share price.
