Vyne Therapeutics Inc. has received IND clearance from the FDA allowing it to initiate a first-in-human phase Ia study of VYN-202, an oral small-molecule BD2-selective BET inhibitor for autoimmune diseases.

Vyne Therapeutics Inc. has released promising new preclinical data on its oral small-molecule BD2-selective BET inhibitor, VYN-202, in preclinical models of psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. In a well-established model, a psoriasis phenotype was induced in BALB-C mice, and treatment was administered intraperitoneally with either VYN-202, the allosteric TYK2 inhibitor Sotykto (deucravacitinib, Bristol Myers Squibb Co.) or placebo.
