Belite Bio: Investors Face Tricky Decision Ahead Of Key STGD1 Study Readout

  • Belite Bio's lead drug, Tinlarebant, shows promise in rare eye diseases, but pivotal data and regulatory approval remain at least 18 months away in my view. The DRAGON study's interim analysis is encouraging, but assumptions of success are risky given the small STGD1 market and lack of robust clinical data. Belite's $2bn valuation appears to price in success for both STGD1 and GA, yet GA efficacy data is lacking and competition is fierce.
