Veradermics' Phase 3 Study '304' met all primary and secondary endpoints for VDPHL01, an oral extended-release minoxidil for male pattern hair loss, in 536 participants with high statistical significance (p<0.0001). Hair count gains reached 28.6 hairs/cm² (once daily) and 36.4 hairs/cm² (twice daily) versus 6.6 for placebo at Month 6, with onset of efficacy visible as early as Month 2 and no treatment-related serious adverse events or cardiac adverse events of special interest. Combined with positive Study '302' data, the results support a potential NDA as the first FDA-approved non-hormonal oral treatment targeting 50 million U.S.
