Health Care

Develops investigational small-molecule therapies for degenerative retinal diseases and metabolic disease. It has no approved products or product-sales revenue; its lead oral candidate, tinlarebant, targets Stargardt disease and geographic atrophy, while LBS-009 targets metabolic disease.

Develops small-molecule therapies for degenerative retinal diseases and metabolic disease. Tinlarebant (LBS-008), a once-daily oral RBP4 antagonist, is its lead candidate for Stargardt disease and geographic atrophy; LBS-009 is a metabolic-disease program.

Clinical-development infrastructure spans the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Switzerland and Japan. An in-house discovery and R&D team works with CROs, CMOs, investigators and clinical-trial sites.

Tinlarebant's STGD1 NDA submission is complete, but the therapy remains investigational, while DRAGON II and PHOENIX continue. With no approved products or product-sales revenue, development and commercialization depend on regulatory review, external clinical partners and further financing.
