Lead BET Inhibitor, VYN201, Demonstrates Improvement
in Reducing Fibrotic Tissue Mass and Overall Skin Repair Outcomes in Preclinical Study
Results support continued progression of VYN201
development program for autoimmune skin diseases
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., November 4, 2021 -- VYNE Therapeutics
Inc. (Nasdaq: VYNE) ("VYNE" or the "Company") today announced preclinical data from a validated animal study showing
that its bromodomain and extra-terminal ("BET") inhibitor, VYN201, demonstrated improvements in reducing fibrotic tissue mass
and overall skin repair outcomes with no negative impact on healing time.
VYNE is evaluating its lead BET inhibitor, VYN201, for several autoimmune
skin diseases that are characterized by lesions, such as chronic ulcers and blisters, which are challenging to treat and can potentially
lead to severe infections and surgical intervention. Frequently used treatments for neutrophilic dermatoses are known to significantly
delay the healing of lesions1 and, in this context, VYNE conducted a validated preclinical study to evaluate the effect of
VYN201 on skin healing and repair.
In the preclinical study, duplicate identical skin incisions were induced
on the flanks of hairless mice under anesthesia. The animals were topically dosed once daily with either 100mg VYN201 vehicle, VYN201
1%, or a hydroalcoholic gel (a negative control known to delay healing) until each lesion had completely healed.
Key findings from the study:
"We were pleased to learn from this study that VYN201 does not
appear to delay skin healing time during treatment or negatively influence skin repair mechanisms," said Dr. Iain Stuart, Chief
Scientific Officer of VYNE. "An additional encouraging outcome from this study was that VYN201 1% treatment, when compared to controls,
resulted in less fibrotic tissue being formed in the lesion bed, making the scar much flatter, resulting in an improved overall scar appearance.
These findings support the continued progression of this development program, and we look forward to providing additional updates in the
About Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Domain
BET proteins play a key role in regulating
gene transcription via epigenetic interactions ("reading"), and recent research has determined a key role for these BET 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. Inhibiting BET proteins blocks cytokine
transcription and therefore may have significant therapeutic potential across a wide variety of immuno-inflammatory/fibrotic and myeloproliferative
neoplastic disorders. A topically applied BET inhibitor product has the possibility to positively impact diseases involving multiple,
diverse inflammatory cell signaling pathways that are active in rare neutrophilic dermatoses. Furthermore, bromodomain 2 selective oral
BET inhibitors may present as more conveniently-administered non-biologic treatment options for both acute control and chronic management
of immuno-inflammatory indications, where the damaging effects of unrestricted inflammatory signaling activity is common.
About VYNE Therapeutics Inc.
VYNE's mission is to improve the lives of patients by developing
proprietary, innovative, and differentiated therapies for the treatment of immuno-inflammatory conditions. VYNE is working to develop
and commercialize a variety of therapies for major immuno-inflammatory conditions and rare skin diseases with high unmet medical need.
The Company's unique and proprietary pipeline includes FMX114 for the potential treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis
and access to a library of bromodomain & extra-terminal (BET) domain inhibitors in both topical and oral forms for the potential
treatment of major immuno-inflammatory conditions and rare skin diseases.
