Repibresib (VYN201): Phase 1b Study in Active Vitiligo Patients 13 F-VASI = Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index Study Design: Treatment on the face and target lesion on trunk of active vitiligo patients for up to 16 weeks of QD treatment • N = up to 30: 3 cohorts, evaluating 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% strengths • Safety assessments include TEAEs, pharmacokinetics and local skin tolerance • Exploratory efficacy assessments include F-VASI, biomarkers and photography Key inclusion/exclusion criteria: • Subjects with a clinical diagnosis of active non-segmental vitiligo. An active vitiligo lesion is defined as evidence of hypochromic areas / borders and/or confetti-like depigmentation and/or peri-lesional inflammation and/or Koebner phenomenon. • Facial-Vitiligo Area and Severity Index Score (F-VASI) of ≥0.5. • Two contralateral active vitiligo target lesions on non-facial anatomical areas. Non-facial target lesion areas should not include hands, wrists, feet, or elbows. • The presence of leukotrichia should not exceed 50% of the full face or 50% of each non-facial target lesion. Primary objectives of Phase 1b: 1. Assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics 2. Evaluate VYN201’s ability to arrest the progression of depigmentation in active vitiligo patients 3. Identify early evidence of repigmentation 4. Inform dose level / dose regimen of Phase 2b dose-ranging study Study Design
