\nVeradermics, Incorporated (NYSE: MANE), a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and highlighted recent corporate and clinical progress.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe announcement of positive Phase 2\/3 topline results from Study \u2018302\u2019 in April 2026 was an inflection point for Veradermics and supports our belief that VDPHL01 can become a foundational treatment for pattern hair loss,\u201d said Reid Waldman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Veradermics. \u201cWe are working with urgency to deliver multiple data milestones in the second half of 2026. Following our successful IPO and subsequent financing activities, we are well capitalized to execute on these milestones and advance our mission to provide the first-ever FDA-approved non-hormonal oral treatment for pattern hair loss to both men and women.\u201d<\/p>\n

VDPHL01 Registrational Program for Men and Women with Pattern Hair Loss (\u201cPHL\u201d)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Corporate<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n First Quarter 2026 Financial Results<\/b><\/p>\n About VDPHL01<\/b><\/p>\n \nVDPHL01 (extended-release minoxidil tablet) is an investigational, orally available non-hormonal drug in Phase 3 development for pattern hair loss in both women and men. VDPHL01 leverages extended-release technology designed 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 PHL 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.<\/p>\n About Veradermics, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n \nVeradermics is a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics to address pervasive treatment challenges in pattern hair loss.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the timing of reporting additional clinical results, including anticipated data from Study \u2018304\u2019; the enrollment progress in Study \u2018306\u2019; VDPHL01\u2019s potential to become the first FDA-approved non-hormonal oral treatment for PHL; and the company\u2019s cash runway. These forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, including: Veradermics\u2019 limited operating history with no products approved for commercial sale; risks related to preclinical and clinical development and that results of earlier studies and trials may not be predictive of future preclinical studies or clinical trial results; the risk that Veradermics may encounter substantial delays in preclinical and clinical trials, or may not be able to conduct or complete preclinical or clinical trials on the expected timelines, if at all; competition from other companies; risks related to Veradermics\u2019 need to grow its organization; the ability of Veradermics to successfully execute its intellectual property strategy for VDPHL01; global macroeconomic conditions and related volatility; and other risks and uncertainties identified in the \u201cRisk Factors\u201d section of Veradermics\u2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the period ended December 31, 2025, and subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond Veradermics\u2019 control, these forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as guarantees of future events.
