Vyome’s VT-1953 shows significant reduction in cancer wound odor

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Vyome Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:HIND), currently trading at $13.85 and showing a positive 4.57% year-to-date return according to InvestingPro, announced interim results from its Phase 2 proof-of-concept study showing that VT-1953 topical gel significantly reduced malodor in patients with malignant fungating wounds (MFW), according to a company press release.

MFW is a condition affecting 5-14% of advanced cancer patients when cancer cells break through the skin, creating chronic wounds with symptoms including extreme odor, severe pain, and psychological distress. According to recent research published in June 2025, an estimated 650,000 patients in the U.S. and approximately 10 million globally suffer from this condition.

"Despite a large number of cancer patients suffering from the symptoms of MFW, there are no FDA-approved options," said Dr. Shiladitya Sengupta, Vyome co-founder and Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

The company plans to share additional details about the interim results and the MFW market during a live video conference on Monday, September 8. Full study results are expected in October 2026.

VT-1953 works by targeting TLR-MD2 and DNA gyrase to exert an immuno-anti-inflammatory effect. The gel has been well-tolerated in over 500 patients across prior clinical studies, with no clinically significant adverse trends noted in the current trial.

Vyome CEO Venkat Nelabhotla stated the company anticipates interacting with the FDA in early 2026 regarding this program, which addresses what the company estimates as a $1 billion market opportunity in the United States. With a current market capitalization of $13 million and trading near its 52-week high of $14.89, investors seeking deeper insights can access comprehensive analysis through InvestingPro’s detailed research reports.
