Vyome Biosciences Announces Launch of Dermatology Products Through Exclusive Partnership


Vyome Partners with a Large, Global Specialty Pharmaceutical Company to Market its Dandruff Products  

NEW DELHI, India, Feb. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vyome Biosciences, a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company developing novel medicines for treating skin diseases caused by resistant microbes, today announces the licensing and supply if its novel products for the treatment of mild to moderate scalp seborrheic dermatitis, commonly known as dandruff, to its exclusive licensing and marketing partner in India.

Vyome developed VB-001, an anti-dandruff lotion product, and VB-3222, an anti-dandruff shampoo using the company’s patented Molecular Replacement Therapeutics (MRT™) platform technology. Vyome has clinically tested these products with the demonstration of their clinical efficacy. Through its partnership with a global and large specialty pharmaceutical company, these products will be available through prescription marketing channel and chemists in India. Vyome retains the right to license and market these products in the rest of the world.

"Vyome is committed to developing innovative antimicrobial dermatological products to provide new treatment options for clinicians and patients,” said Venkateswarlu Nelabhotla (N. Venkat), co-founder and chief executive officer of Vyome Biosciences. “Dandruff affects approximately 50 percent of the world’s population including approximately 200 million patients in India. By partnering with a large specialty pharmaceutical company which is one of global leaders in dermatology, we will make our first two products available to patients with dandruff, for whom current therapeutic options are limited and often less effective.”

Vyome’s Molecular Replacement Therapeutics (MRTTM) are inspired by functional genomics to enhance the efficacy of antifungal agents. Leveraging its innovative antimicrobial technology platforms, Vyome is developing other novel products including VB 1953, a topical product candidate for moderate to severe acne, currently being initiated for Phase 2b clinical trials in the United States.
