Slide 13: LB-102 and Amisulpride Receptor Specificity
LB-102 AND AMISULPRIDE RECEPTOR SPECIFICITY LB-102 is a selective D2/D3 /5HT7 antagonist with minimal off-target activity Potent D2/3 and Weight gain (5HT2a/c) 5HT7 inhibitor Cognition/Depression (5HT7) Antipsychotic Effect (D2) Sedation/Weight gain (H1) Sedation (M) Anxiety, Orthostasis (A) Notes:
Slide 14: LB-102: Enhancing Amisulpride's Product Profile
LB-102: ENHANCING AMISULPRIDE’S PRODUCT PROFILE • Of 30 psychiatric medications tested amisulpride was least able to passively diffuse across model BBB(1) • Improving BBB permeability could improve efficacy/decrease adverse events • Methylation has been shown to improve membrane permeability without
Slide 15: LB-102 Phase 1 Clinical Trial Overview
LB-102 PHASE 1 CLINICAL TRIAL OVERVIEW • Dosing: 5 single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts/3 multiple ascending dose (MAD, 1 week, BID dosing) cohorts • Endpoints: Safety and pharmacokinetics • Single Site: Medpace in Cincinnati, OH Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Multiple Ascending Dose (MAD) 1 week 200 mg
Slide 16: LB-102 Phase 1 Pharmacokinetics (SAD)
LB-102 PHASE 1 PHARMACOKINETICS (SAD) LB-102 exhibits favorable PK properties, with a half-life of 12+ hours and Tmax of 2-3 hours 16
Slide 17: Plasma Exposure of LB-102 > Amisulpride
PLASMA EXPOSURE OF LB-102 > AMISULPRIDE Rosenzweig(1) reported PK data on 18 healthy volunteers exposed to a single dose 50 mg amisulpride Plasma Concentration of Amisulpride 50mg LB-102 vs. 50mg Amisulpride 50 mg Amisulpride 50 mg LB-102 100 MW = 369.5 LogP = 1.7 Concentration (ng/mL) LB-102 10 1 M
Slide 18: LB-102 Phase 1 Adverse Events
LB-102 PHASE 1 ADVERSE EVENTS • Prolactin elevation (PRL), which was reversible and unassociated with clinical consequences, was observed at all doses, a consequence of dopamine receptor binding • Dosing in 200 mg/d MAD cohort was stopped after 3 days due to two occurrences of EPS (acute dystonia) •
Slide 19: Dopamine RO Directly Linked to Improvements in SCZ Patients
DOPAMINE RO DIRECTLY LINKED TO IMPROVEMENTS IN SCZ PATIENTS Dopamine Receptor Occupancy Dopamine RO a good predictor of PANSS improvement(1) Notes: (1) Source: The AAPS Journal, 2011, 13, 121-130 19
Slide 20: LB-102 Phase 1b PET Imaging Study (NCT04588129)
LB-102 PHASE 1b PET IMAGING STUDY (NCT04588129) • Dosing: Adaptive design with 4 cohorts of 4 healthy volunteers each ‒ Multiple PET scans per subject using 11C raclopride as tracer • Study Objectives: To confirm D2/D3 target engagement and inform Phase 2 dosing 50 mg n=4 100 mg n=4 n = 16 4 Healthy
Slide 21: Phase 1b - Cohorts 1-3, Single Dose
PHASE 1b - COHORTS 1 - 3, SINGLE DOSE • Subjects in Cohorts 1 (100 mg) and 2 (50 mg) were scanned at 2.5, 7.5, and 23.5 hrs post-dose • Subjects in Cohort 3 (75 mg) were scanned at 2.5, 23.5, and 47.5 hrs post-dose • Desired dopamine RO between 60% and 75% • Data suggests that LB-102 can be dosed on
Slide 22: Phase 1b - Cohort 4, Steady State
PHASE 1b - COHORT 4, STEADY STATE, 100 MG (N=2); 50 MG (N=2) • Subjects scanned 2.5, 7.5, and 23.5 hrs after 4 days QD dosing • Dopamine RO observed at 50 mg was in the desired range for an effective schizophrenia drug • 50 mg LB-102 afforded same dopamine RO as 400+ mg amisulpride per day 22
Slide 23: Phase 1b - Key Takeaways
PHASE 1b - KEY TAKEAWAYS • No reported SAEs or EPS • Dopamine receptor occupancy in desired range at 50 mg to 100 mg dose • Confirms hypothesis from Phase 1 study • Planned dosing for Phase 2 study: 50 mg, 75 mg, and 100mg once per day • FDA guided LB-102 could be dosed up to 200 mg/d in SCZ patient
Slide 24: LB-102 Key Differentiators
LB-102 KEY DIFFERENTIATORS • Superior efficacy than most recently launched antipsychotics and other compounds in development • Minimal off-receptor binding (D2, D3, 5HT7) potentially leading to low incidence of AEs • Potential use in patients with predominantly negative symptoms, bipolar depression,
Slide 25: LB-102 US Market Opportunity
LB-102 US MARKET OPPORTUNITY • Amisulpride/LB-102 differentiated by robust efficacy for both positive and negative symptoms of the disease and a clean AE profile • Prescriptions in the Europe exceed 2.5 million/year1 despite a lack of sales/marketing support for 15 years • Branded antipsychotic drug
