Veradermics reports 12‑month Phase 2/3 hair‑loss trial results, shares climb

Veradermics Inc released 12‑month data from Part B of its Phase 2/3 Study 302 in 519 men with mild‑to‑moderate pattern hair loss. The twice‑daily dose increased non‑vellus hair count by 43.9 hairs per cm², while the once‑daily dose added 29.7 hairs per cm², and the treatment was well tolerated. The results lifted the stock and prompted Leerink Partners to raise its price target.

The company says the data position VDPHL01 as a potential first FDA‑approved oral pill for pattern hair loss in nearly three decades, which could drive future revenue. Leerink Partners raised its target to $150, indicating analysts expect a higher valuation.
