About Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune depigmenting disorder of the skin, characterized by the loss of pigment producing cells known as melanocytes. Vitiligo is the most common depigmenting skin condition, with a prevalence estimated at 0.5-2.0% of the world population.¹ There is currently only one FDA-approved product for the treatment of vitiligo. Nonsegmental vitiligo is the most common type of vitiligo.

About VYN201
VYN201 is a pan-bromodomain BET inhibitor designed to be locally-administered as a “soft” drug to address diseases involving multiple, diverse inflammatory cell signaling pathways, while providing low systemic exposure. In addition to demonstrating clinical proof-of-concept in vitiligo, VYN201 has produced consistent reductions in pro-inflammatory and disease-related biomarkers and improvements in disease severity in several preclinical models (using several different routes of administration).

About the VYN201 Phase 1b Study in Vitiligo
The Phase 1b trial was a 16-week open-label trial assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory efficacy of a once-daily topical formulation of VYN201 in 29 patients with active nonsegmental vitiligo in three dose cohorts (0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% concentrations). On October 30, 2023, VYNE announced that significant clinical improvement was observed in the 1.0% and 2.0% cohorts, with rapid onset of action and a dose-dependent response. Mean percentage reduction in facial vitiligo area scoring index score from baseline after 16 weeks of treatment was 7.5%, 30.2% and 39.0% for the 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% cohorts, respectively. VYN201 was generally well tolerated with no clinically relevant treatment emergent adverse events across all dose cohorts.

About BET Inhibitors
BET proteins play a key role in regulating gene transcription via epigenetic interactions (“reading”), and recent research has determined a key role for these proteins in regulating B cell and T cell activation and subsequent inflammatory processes. As epigenetic readers, BET proteins regulate the recruitment of transcriptional factors that are key to the production of several pro-inflammatory cytokines. BET inhibitors have the potential to treat a range of immuno-inflammatory and fibrotic diseases by blocking pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription with additional potential in myeloproliferative neoplastic disorders.
