Corporate presentation summary
5 Nov, 2026Strategic positioning
Lead candidate LB-102 is being developed across schizophrenia, bipolar depression and adjunctive major depressive disorder, with potential expansion into other psychosis and mood indications.
The presentation cites a ~$12B U.S. branded antipsychotic market and a potential ~10x addressable-market expansion from developing beyond schizophrenia.
Issued composition-of-matter IP is estimated to extend through ~2041 including potential patent term extension; the underlying IP expires in 2037.
LB-102 profile
LB-102 is a methylated structural modification of amisulpride, designed for improved blood-brain barrier penetration, greater potency and once-daily dosing; 50 mg LB-102 is stated as equivalent to 400 mg amisulpride.
Its D2, D3 and 5HT7 receptor profile is presented as supporting potential effects on psychosis, mood, cognition, anhedonia and negative symptoms, with few off-target effects.
Amisulpride has more than 2 million monthly prescriptions in Europe; the presentation cites its use in schizophrenia, dysthymia and mood disorders.
Schizophrenia clinical evidence
In the 4-week NOVA-1 trial (N=359), PANSS change from baseline at Day 28 was -14.3 at 50 mg, -14.0 at 75 mg and -16.1 at 100 mg, versus -9.3 for placebo; all doses were statistically superior to placebo.
Effect sizes were 0.50 for 50 mg and 0.64 for exploratory 100 mg by MMRM analysis; the presentation says results are near the top of effect sizes reported for approved first-line antipsychotics.
Exploratory cognition results showed dose-dependent effect sizes versus placebo of 0.26 at 50 mg, 0.41 at 75 mg and 0.66 at 100 mg; the analysis was post hoc and excluded certain outliers.
EPS rates were 1.0% at 50 mg, 5.6% at 75 mg, 5.6% at 100 mg and 3.7% with placebo; most adverse events were mild or moderate and similar to placebo.
Phase 3 NOVA-2 is underway with 50 mg, 100 mg and placebo arms over six weeks; topline data are expected in 1H 2027, followed by a pre-NDA meeting expected in 2H 2027.
