NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Veradermics, Incorporated (NYSE: MANE), a dermatologist-founded, late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss, today announced the presentation of data from the Phase 2/3 Study '302' of VDPHL01 in male patients with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss. The subgroup analysis data were shared in a poster presentation on July 16, 2026, and will be shared in an oral presentation on July 17, 2026, during the 2026 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Innovation Academy in New York City.
Study '302' is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2/3 trial evaluating treatment with VDPHL01, a proprietary extended-release oral minoxidil formulation, in over 500 males with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss. The new data include results from an age-based subgroup analysis of the efficacy and safety of VDPHL01 in males less than 40 years of age (<40) and males 40 years of age and older (≥40).
VDPHL01 is currently being evaluated in an extensive development program designed to support the approval of VDPHL01 in both male and female pattern hair loss. In April 2026, Veradermics announced topline results from Study '302' in male pattern hair loss and, in February 2026, Veradermics announced enrollment completion in its second Phase 3 male trial, Study '304,' with topline results anticipated in 2H 2026. Earlier this week, Veradermics announced topline data in females with pattern hair loss from Study '207' and that topline data are anticipated from Study '306,' a registration-directed Phase 2/3 trial in females with pattern hair loss, in 1H 2027.

About VDPHL01
VDPHL01 (extended-release minoxidil tablet) is a proprietary investigational, oral non-hormonal drug in Phase 3 development for pattern hair loss in both women and men. VDPHL01 leverages extended-release technology to deliver a minoxidil product with the potential for improved efficacy and safety. The proprietary extended-release formulation utilizes a gel matrix designed to deliver long-lasting, steady release of minoxidil for sustained absorption. VDPHL01 has been shown to avoid the high peak concentrations of immediate-release oral minoxidil, while extending time above the minimum hair growth threshold to increase time for hair to grow. If approved, VDPHL01 would be the only FDA-approved oral non-hormonal treatment for pattern hair loss in both male and female patients. VDPHL01 is protected by a broad library of patents and patent applications related to the key innovations of VDPHL01. The earliest expiring patent term is 2043.
