Veradermics, Incorporated (NYSE:MANE), a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss, today announced that two E-posters will be presented at the 2026 Music City Symposium for Cosmetic Advances and Laser Education (SCALE) beginning today in Nashville, Tennessee until May 17, 2026.

The data to be presented include two comparative analyses of VDPHL01's Phase 2 male data results versus published data on the efficacy of existing minoxidil formulations. The first is a blinded, retrospective investigator global assessment in which nine independent dermatologists evaluated the perceived efficacy of VDPHL01 at 2 and 4 months in males against 6-month male data on immediate-release oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil. The second leverages Global HairMap™ (SOCAi), an AI-based platform, to retrospectively compare androgenetic alopecia (AGA) outcomes of VDPHL01 at 4 months against males receiving immediate-release oral minoxidil for 6 months.

Information on the presentations is as follows:

Title: Concordance of AI-Derived Quantitative Measures and IGA Scores Demonstrates Superior Efficacy with Faster Onset for an Investigational Extended-Release Oral Minoxidil Tablet (VDPHL01) Versus Immediate-Release Oral Minoxidil for Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)

Title: Comparative Efficacy of an Investigational Oral Minoxidil Extended-Release Tablet (VDPHL01) Versus Existing Minoxidil Formulations in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Blinded Retrospective IGA Analysis

E-Posters will be shown on multiple touchscreen televisions in the E-Poster designated space and accessible in the SCALE meeting mobile app.

About VDPHL01

VDPHL01 (extended-release minoxidil tablet) is a proprietary investigational, orally available 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.

About Pattern Hair Loss

Pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, affects an estimated 80 million people in the United States (30 million women and 50 million men). Pattern hair loss can have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting an individual's mental health and relationships. People with pattern hair loss often experience depression, low self-esteem and social withdrawal. There have been no new FDA-approved prescription medicines for pattern hair loss in nearly 30 years. In addition to prescription medicines, current treatments include over-the-counter "nutraceuticals" that produce inconsistent results and contribute to high dissatisfaction among patients and healthcare providers. The prevalence of pattern hair loss and the market demand for new treatments contribute to making it the largest aesthetics market worldwide, projected to reach approximately $30 billion by 2028.
