Newly granted Chinese patent broadens Vyome's intellectual property estate with additional formulation and therapeutic use claims for besifloxacin gel in inflammatory acne, supporting future partnering, licensing and regional commercialization for this $600 million market
VT-1953 for malignant fungating wounds remains Vyome's flagship program and primary capital allocation priority

Vyome Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIND) ("Vyome" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing differentiated therapies for immuno-inflammatory and rare disease conditions, announces that the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) has granted a patent (Chinese Patent No. ZL 2021 1 0758695.X) covering formulation and therapeutic use claims relating to its proprietary besifloxacin topical gel program for inflammatory acne.

Venkat Nelabhotla, Vyome Holdings Chief Executive Officer, said, "While VT-1953 for malignant fungating wounds remains our flagship program and the clear priority for our capital, clinical development, and execution efforts, we also believe it is important to continue strengthening our broader intellectual property portfolio in a highly capital-efficient manner. This newly granted Chinese patent further enhances our strategic optionality in the immuno-inflammation space without changing our operating priorities or requiring any significant incremental investment. We believe a strengthened intellectual property estate can support attractive partnering, licensing, and regional commercialization opportunities through predominantly non-dilutive pathways, allowing us to remain fully focused on advancing VT-1953 and building a leading immuno-inflammatory company while continuing to create value from our broader innovation portfolio."

The newly granted patent significantly expands Vyome's intellectual property protection in China by adding broader formulation and therapeutic use claims for proprietary besifloxacin topical gel formulations. The patent includes claims directed to the treatment of inflammatory acne, inflammation associated with acne, and acne involving antibiotic-resistant Propionibacterium acnes, further strengthening the Company's intellectual property position in one of the world's largest and fastest-growing pharmaceutical markets. China represents an estimated prescription acne market of approximately $600¹ million annually by 2035, underscoring the long-term strategic importance of a strengthened intellectual property estate in the region.

"Building durable intellectual property is fundamental to creating differentiated pharmaceutical innovation. This newly granted Chinese patent substantially strengthens our existing patent estate by adding meaningful formulation and therapeutic use protection around our proprietary besifloxacin topical platform. We believe that innovation extends well beyond the active pharmaceutical ingredient, and comprehensive intellectual property surrounding formulation science can create significant long-term value," stated Dr. Shiladitya Sengupta, Vyome Co-Founder and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.
