Pipeline

GLP‑1 receptor agonists (GLP‑1RAs) show transdiagnostic activity across substance‑use and compulsive disorders, enabling a multi‑indication development strategy.

Lead Indication

BT‑001 for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Phase 3 pathway aligned with FDA

Best‑in‑class, once‑weekly GLP‑1RA candidate for AUD.

Clinical & Commercial Rationale

  • ≈29M with AUD; ~3% currently treated.
  • Potential for superior efficacy vs SOC (naltrexone, extended‑release naltrexone).
  • Once‑weekly dosing designed to improve adherence vs SOC.
  • Positioned for first‑to‑market or co‑launch relative to key competitors (e.g., Lilly/brenipatide).
  • Favorable reimbursement dynamics anticipated in AUD.
  • High patient/provider appeal; class‑demonstrated benefits for metabolic comorbidities (glycemic control and weight loss).
Second Indication

BT‑001 for Stimulant Use Disorders (CUD/MUD)

Phase 2/3 protocol development underway

Addressing stimulant‑use disorders with no FDA‑approved pharmacotherapies.

Clinical & Commercial Rationale

  • ≈1.2M with CUD; no FDA‑approved pharmacotherapies.
  • ≈1.6M with MUD; no FDA‑approved pharmacotherapies.
  • Favorable reimbursement dynamics with strong payor mandates.
  • Potential to reduce polysubstance craving/use in stimulant ± opioid comorbidity.
Additional Indication

BT‑001 for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

Opportunity to address the opioid crisis with a non‑opioid mechanism of action.

Clinical & Commercial Rationale

  • ≈4.8M with OUD; ~17% receive medications for OUD (MOUD).
  • Compatible with existing MOUD; potential additive efficacy.
  • May appeal to patients declining opioid‑based SOC therapies.
Additional Indications

BT‑001: Additional Indications

Expanding the platform across compulsive and behavioral disorders.

Clinical & Commercial Rationale

  • Emerging class evidence across additional indications (e.g., smoking cessation, cannabis use disorder, select behavioral disorders).
  • Program expansion will be evidence‑driven as the class data evolve.
