In July 2023, Verrica’s lead product, YCANTH (cantharidin), became the first treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat pediatric and adult patients with molluscum contagiosum, a highly contagious viral skin infection affecting approximately six million people in the USA, primarily children.
As of August 2023, VP-102 is also in development to treat common warts and external genital warts, two of the largest unmet needs in medical dermatology. Verrica is developing VP-103, its second cantharidin-based product candidate, for the treatment of plantar warts. Verrica has also entered a worldwide license agreement with Lytix Biopharma AS to develop and commercialize VP-315 (formerly LTX-315 and VP-LTX-315) for dermatologic oncology conditions.
