Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 9, 2026, Veradermics, Incorporated (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive topline data from Part B of the Phase 2/3 clinical trial, Study ‘302’ evaluating VDPHL01 in males with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss.
A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the presentation the Company presented on a conference call and webcast held to discuss the Study ‘302’ data is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and both are incorporated by reference herein. The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 furnished under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 9, 2026, the Company announced positive topline results from Part B of its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, registration-directed Phase 2/3 clinical trial (Study ‘302’) evaluating VDPHL01, an investigational, proprietary, extended-release oral minoxidil formulation, in over 500 males with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss. Study ‘302’ enrolled 519 patients who were randomized to receive either VDPHL01 8.5mg once daily (QD), VDPHL01 8.5mg twice daily (BID), or placebo for 6 months. After Month 6, patients in the placebo group were crossed over into VDPHL01 treatment arms for the remaining 6 months.
In Part B of Study ‘302’, participants in the VDPHL01 continued group had an increase in non-vellus hair count of 43.9 hairs/cm2 and 29.7 hairs/cm2 in twice-daily (BID) and once-daily (QD) treatment arms from baseline to Month 12, respectively. These results demonstrated a deepening of hair growth in the BID dose arm and maintenance of hair growth for the QD dose arm.
At Month 12 of treatment with VDPHL01, 89.1% of participants in the BID dose arm and 79.8% of participants in the QD dose arm reported visible improvement in hair coverage on the Androgenetic Alopecia Impact Rating Scale (AAIRS). Additionally, 68.0% of participants in the BID dose arm and 48.4% of participants in the QD dose arm achieved ‘improved’ or ‘much improved’ hair coverage on the AAIRS.
Investigator perception of hair growth further supported the consistency of meaningful hair growth reported by participants, with investigators grading 92.2% (BID) and 74.4% (QD) of participants as having improved hair coverage using the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale.
Treatment with VDPHL01 in the continued group was generally well tolerated through Month 12 with an overall safety profile consistent with Part A of Study ‘302’ and Study ‘304’. No treatment-related SAEs, no AESIs of cardiac origin, and no new safety signals were observed in the study. No TEAEs leading to study discontinuation were observed between Month 6 and Month 12 in the VDPHL01 continued group.
At Month 12, participants in the BID and QD placebo crossed treatment arms had an increase in non-vellus hair count of 32.1 hairs/cm2 and 24.5 hairs/cm2, respectively. Visible improvements in hair coverage for participants in the placebo crossed group were reported by 82.0% of participants in the BID dose arm and 73.2% of participants in the QD dose arm on the AAIRS. Additionally, 60.7% of participants in the BID dose arm and 42.9% of participants in the QD dose arm achieved ‘improved’ or ‘much improved’ hair coverage on the outcome.
Further, the consistency of clinically meaningful hair growth reported by participants was supported by investigator perception of hair growth, with investigators grading 83.9% and 80.0% of BID and QD participants in the placebo crossed group, respectively, as having improved hair coverage at Month 12 using the IGA scale. Treatment in the placebo crossed group was generally well tolerated with a safety profile comparable to those observed in the VDPHL01 continued group.

Veradermics Achieved the Highest VDPHL01 Reported Hair Count in the Phase 3 Program to Date in Positive 12-Month Study '302' Data in Male Pattern Hair Loss
VDPHL01, a novel orally-administered extended-release minoxidil formulation, demonstrated Target Area Hair Count (TAHC) deepening in twice-daily (BID) and maintenance in once-daily (QD) treatment arms with increases in non-vellus hair counts of 43.9 hairs/cm 2 (BID) and 29.7 hairs/cm2 (QD) from baseline at Month 12
12-month long-term data demonstrated consistency of hair growth across patient-reported outcomes (PRO) with 89.1% (BID) and 79.8% (QD) reporting visible improvement and 68.0% (BID) and 48.4% (QD) of participants reporting ‘much improved’ or ‘improved’ hair coverage
Favorable 12-month long-term safety and tolerability profile remained consistent with previously reported data, with no new safety signals and no adverse event-related study discontinuations observed after an additional 6 months of treatment
These 12-month long-term results combined with previously reported positive topline findings from Part A of Study ‘302’ and ‘304’ reinforce the potential for VDPHL01 to become the first FDA-approved, non-hormonal, oral treatment for the 50 million men with pattern hair loss in the U.S.
Conference call and webcast scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET today
NEW HAVEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 09, 2026-- Veradermics, Incorporated (NYSE: MANE), a dermatologist-founded, late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss, today announced positive topline results from Part B of its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, registration-directed Phase 2/3 clinical trial (Study ‘302’) evaluating VDPHL01, an investigational, proprietary, extended-release oral minoxidil formulation, in over 500 males with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss. These positive results, combined with previously reported positive topline findings from Study ‘302’ Part A and Phase 3 Study ‘304’ Part A, position VDPHL01 to potentially become the first FDA-approved oral pill in nearly 30 years for pattern hair loss and a potential new treatment option for the 50 million men with pattern hair loss in the U.S. To date, data has been reported for more than 1,000 participants in registration-directed studies of VDPHL01 for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.
"The 12-month long-term data from Study ‘302’ represent an important milestone in our efforts to provide a new standard of care for male pattern hair loss, demonstrating maintenance of improvement across all key efficacy endpoints and deepening of the target area hair count in the twice-daily VDPHL01 group," said Reid Waldman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Veradermics. "VDPHL01 was also well tolerated with no newly-identified safety signals. These data support the potential of VDPHL01 to transform the treatment of pattern hair loss."
Study ‘302’ enrolled 519 patients who were randomized to receive either VDPHL01 8.5mg once daily (QD), VDPHL01 8.5mg twice daily (BID), or placebo for 6 months. After Month 6, patients in the placebo group were crossed over into VDPHL01 treatment arms for the remaining 6 months.
Deepened or Maintained Effect of Hair Growth in the VDPHL01 Continued Group
In Part B of Study ‘302’, participants in the VDPHL01 continued group had an increase in non-vellus hair count of 43.9 hairs/cm2 and 29.7 hairs/cm2 in twice-daily (BID) and once-daily (QD) treatment arms from baseline to Month 12, respectively. These results demonstrated a deepening of hair growth in the BID dose arm and maintenance of hair growth for the QD dose arm.
At Month 12 of treatment with VDPHL01, 89.1% of participants in the BID dose arm and 79.8% of participants in the QD dose arm reported visible improvement in hair coverage on the Androgenetic Alopecia Impact Rating Scale (AAIRS). Additionally, 68.0% of participants in the BID dose arm and 48.4% of participants in the QD dose arm achieved ‘improved’ or ‘much improved’ hair coverage on the AAIRS.
Investigator perception of hair growth further supported the consistency of meaningful hair growth reported by participants, with investigators grading 92.2% (BID) and 74.4% (QD) of participants as having improved hair coverage using the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) scale. The consistency of response observed at both the Month 6 and Month 12 timepoints, together with high rates of improvement reported by both participants and investigators, may increase the potential for long-term patient adherence to VDPHL01, if approved.
12-Month Long-Term Safety and Tolerability in the VDPHL01 Continued Group
Treatment with VDPHL01 was generally well tolerated through Month 12 with an overall safety profile consistent with Part A of Study ‘302’ and Study ‘304’. No treatment-related SAEs, no AESIs of cardiac origin, and no new safety signals were observed in the study. No TEAEs leading to study discontinuation were observed between Month 6 and Month 12 in the VDPHL01 continued group.
Placebo Crossed Group Demonstrated a Favorable Safety and Tolerability Profile and Achieved Clinically Meaningful Benefit Following 6 Months of Treatment
At Month 12, participants in the BID and QD placebo crossed treatment arms had an increase in non-vellus hair count of 32.1 hairs/cm2 and 24.5 hairs/cm2, respectively. Visible improvements in hair coverage for participants in the placebo crossed group were reported by 82.0% of participants in the BID dose arm and 73.2% of participants in the QD dose arm on the AAIRS. Additionally, 60.7% of participants in the BID dose arm and 42.9% of participants in the QD dose arm achieved ‘improved’ or ‘much improved’ hair coverage on the outcome.
Further, the consistency of clinically meaningful hair growth reported by participants was supported by investigator perception of hair growth, with investigators grading 83.9% and 80.0% of BID and QD participants in the placebo crossed group, respectively, as having improved hair coverage at Month 12 using the IGA scale. Treatment in the placebo crossed group was generally well tolerated with a safety profile comparable to those observed in the VDPHL01 continued group.
"Pattern hair loss is epidemiologically the most common condition in dermatology; however, only a small fraction of patients seek prescription treatment, and an even smaller fraction of patients are satisfied with their treatment. Many patients hesitate to treat their pattern hair loss today because they are either concerned about safety of hormonal agents and off-label therapies or because they do not believe today’s treatments make visible hair regrowth a realistic possibility," said Michael Gold, M.D., Board-certified Dermatologist, Study ‘302’ Investigator and paid consultant of Veradermics. "These results from Study ‘302’ and the overall VDPHL01 Phase 3 program give me hope that patients could finally have an option
that meets their needs, potentially providing a reason for the tens of millions of people silently suffering on the sidelines to seek treatment."
Study ‘302’ Part B is part of Veradermics’ registration-directed development program to support the potential approval of VDPHL01 in both male and female pattern hair loss. In October 2026, Veradermics announced positive topline results from Part A of its randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 Study ‘304’ evaluating VDPHL01 in over 500 males with mild-to-moderate pattern hair loss which represented the completion of all planned placebo-controlled data for male pattern hair loss. The Company anticipates announcing data from its female pattern hair loss Phase 2/3 trial, Study ‘306’, in the first half of 2027.
Veradermics will host a conference call and live webcast today at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the topline Study ‘302’ Part B results. A live webcast will be available on the Events page in the Investors section of the Company’s website. A replay will be available following the call.
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 6-month placebo-controlled period followed by a 6-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 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.
About Veradermics, Inc.
Veradermics is a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss. Veradermics aims to develop a focused portfolio of aesthetic dermatology product candidates targeting high-prevalence dermatologic conditions, with potential selective development of medical dermatology product candidates. Its lead program, VDPHL01, is being developed as an oral, non-hormonal treatment for men and women with pattern hair loss, to reduce the barriers to wide adoption of chronic hair loss therapy and potentially transform pattern hair loss treatment. VDPHL01 is an oral, extended-release proprietary formulation of minoxidil, a proven hair growth agent, designed to maximize minoxidil’s impact on hair restoration while minimizing the risk of cardiac activity.

[VDPHL01] seems like quite a jump compared to other treatments I’ve seen advertised.” More Credible and Efficacious “I would say it puts [VDPHL01] in another category because it has the FDA approval. I think that approval means something… it went through the actual testing, the rigorous testing to get this marked FDA approved. It leads you to believe that you have more faith in [an FDA approved] product than the others.” VDPHL01 Is Set Apart “The photo evidence was impressive, even including the photo showing hair growth in the front… The cost is reasonable, side effects are minimal, and it's a drug that's already been used in the past… in a different form, so there’s some comfort about safety as well.” The Whole Package – Current Rx User – Current Rx User Patient Interviews (n=12) NOVEMBER 2026
