About Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus 123
Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus (VLS) is a chronic, distressing, inflammatory disease with an enormous impact on quality of life. HY-091 is designed as a user-friendly mucoadhesive film product with a convenient application method that ensures simplicity and compliance, offering targeted relief for patients experiencing the discomfort, itching, and pain associated with Vulvar Lichen Sclerosus by reducing inflammation and scarring in the affected area of skin and helping in restoring the skin structure.

Hyloris is a specialty biopharma company focused on innovating, reinventing, and optimizing existing medications to address important healthcare needs and deliver relevant improvements for patients, healthcare professionals and payors.
The Company’s development strategy primarily focuses on leveraging existing regulatory pathways, such as the FDA’s 505(b)2 pathway in the U.S or similar regulatory frameworks in other region which is specifically designed for pharmaceuticals for which safety and efficacy of the molecule have already been established. This type of regulatory pathway can reduce the clinical burden required to bring a product to market, and significantly shorten the development timelines and reduce costs and risks.
Hyloris has built a broad, patented portfolio of 18 reformulated and repurposed value-added medicines that have the potential to offer significant advantages over available alternatives. Two products are currently in early phases of commercialization with partners: Sotalol IV for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and Maxigesic® IV, a non-opioid post-operative pain treatment. Outside its core strategic focus, the Company also has 1 approved high barrier generic product launched in the U.S. and 2 high barrier generic products in development.
