4. Notably, the doc called amisulpride (generic) one of the most beloved European drugs
despite being on the market for >30-years without any marketing. In fact, nearly ~1 in 7
German schizophrenia patients are prescribed amisulpride. Accordingly, the doc believes
LBRX's approach with LB-102 (methylated amisulpride) makes sense considering it improves
delivery to the brain which can dive more potent CNS benefits at a lower dose (and potentially
improve its ability to impact negative symptomology). See pg. 4
5. When asked about long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations, the doc expressed they tend to
be used ~15-16% of the time in the US (can vary by drug/class) with more "checkered" use in
Europe at ~10-25% (varies by country). With this, LAI use in Europe is not bottle-necked by the
patient, but rather by factors related to access and the prescriber. See pgs. 4-5
Topic #2: LB-102 has an optimized product profile de-risked in schizophrenia
1. Of note, our doc discussed how LB-102 is a methylated derivative of amisulpride with
convenient QD dosing which allows LB-102 to overcome several limitations of the generic
while maintaining its therapeutic benefits. Accordingly, methylation allows amisulpride to better
penetrate the blood-brain-barrier and reduce systemic exposure ultimately improving its safety
profile with lower rates of key AEs such as EPS. Further, LB-102 has greater potency where ~50
mg is equivalent to ~400 mg amisulpride which may benefit negative symptom improvement.
See pg. 5
2. Regarding 4-week Ph2 NOVA-1 (NCT06179108), our doc highlighted how the 100 mg
group was particularly impressive demonstrating the highest effect size (0.64 MMRM, 0.83
