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.

About the VDPHL01 Registration-Directed Clinical Development Program

The registration-directed clinical development program for VDPHL01 comprises three multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that together enrolled more than 1,600 adult men and women with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss.

Each trial employs a 52-week design consisting of a six-month placebo-controlled period followed by a six-month extension in which all participants receive VDPHL01. Each trial has the same co-primary endpoints at Month 6: change from baseline in non-vellus target area hair count (TAHC), and the proportion of participants reporting “improved” or “much improved” hair coverage on the Androgenetic Alopecia Impact Rating Scale (AAIRS). Studies ‘302’ and ‘306’ include a Phase 2 component to further assess the proprietary patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures used across the program.

These trials are designed to support the potential FDA approval of VDPHL01 in both male and female pattern hair loss and include:

• Study ‘302’ (NCT06724614): Phase 2/3 trial of VDPHL01 8.5 mg once and twice daily in 519 men.
• Study ‘304’ (NCT06972264): Phase 3 trial of VDPHL01 8.5 mg once and twice daily in 536 men.
• Study ‘306’ (NCT07146022): Phase 2/3 trial of VDPHL01 4.5 mg once and twice daily in 556 women. It is the first registration-directed trial of an oral therapy specifically for female pattern hair loss in the U.S.

The program builds on earlier clinical studies of VDPHL01, including Study ‘207,’ an open-label Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial in men and women with pattern hair loss, and a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study.

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, current treatments include over-the-counter “nutraceuticals” that produce inconsistent results and contribute to high dissatisfaction among participants 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.
