WEST CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Verrica") (NASDAQ:VRCA), a dermatology therapeutics company developing and selling medications for skin diseases requiring medical interventions, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
"In the third quarter, Verrica achieved multiple commercial, corporate, scientific and regulatory milestones providing a strong foundation for future growth in YCANTH as well as significant upside potential from our late-stage clinical pipeline," said Jayson Rieger, PhD, MBA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verrica. "Throughout the past year, while growing adoption of YCANTH for molluscum, we have also significantly advanced our late-stage clinical programs in two of the highest unmet needs in dermatology."
Dr. Rieger continued, "For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, we dispensed 37,642 applicator units compared to 17,119 units in the prior year, representing a 120% increase. I commend our team for more than doubling dispensed units of YCANTH over this period while reducing operating expenses by nearly half. We also made three significant advances in our development pipeline over this same period. First, we have begun our global Phase 3 clinical program of YCANTH (VP-102) in common warts with our Japanese development partner, Torii Pharmaceutical, with targeted first patient enrolled in the United States this year. Verrica also helped support Torii in obtaining the approval of YCANTH for molluscum in Japan in September. Second, we recently received European regulatory feedback providing a pathway to registration for YCANTH for molluscum in Europe without the need for additional Phase 3 studies. Finally, we received clear and positive feedback from the FDA about the study design for a Phase 3 development program for our oncology asset, VP-315, for basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. Each of these development opportunities represent meaningful future growth potential for Verrica, and together we believe they compose one of the most advanced portfolios of late-stage product candidates in dermatology."
"Recent interest in Verrica's pipeline candidates at multiple scientific and business conferences has demonstrated the potential of our portfolio, enabling potential partnering and other non-dilutive financing discussions to help support further development and commercialization efforts for these late-stage programs. I couldn't be more proud of our simultaneous achievement of these goals, and we are excited to see what's ahead for Verrica into the end of 2025 and beyond," concluded Dr. Rieger.

Business Highlights and Recent Developments
YCANTH® (VP-102)
- During the third quarter, YCANTH dispensed applicator units totaled 14,093, representing a sequential increase of 4.9% over the 13,434 dispensed applicator units of YCANTH for the second quarter of 2025.
- During the third quarter, in partnership with the Company's Japanese development partner, Torii Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. ("Torii"), the Company initiated clinical startup activities for the global Phase 3 program in common warts and expects first patient enrollment in the United States by the end of 2025.
- The Company expects to launch YCANTH Rx, a new non-dispensing pharmacy option, in the fourth quarter of 2025. YCANTH Rx is designed to give prescribers a single place to write all YCANTH prescriptions and assist with benefits investigation, processing any prior authorizations and enrollment in the Company's copay assistance program. Prescriptions written to YCANTH Rx will then be routed to a dispensing pharmacy in the Company's pharmacy network that is contracted with the patient's insurance plan.
- In addition, the Company's total sales force rose to 45 sales representatives in October, and it plans to increase the size of the sales force to 50 in 2026.
- On October 20, 2025, the Company announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has provided positive feedback that supports the filing of a Marketing Authorization Application for Verrica's product, YCANTH®, as a treatment for molluscum contagiosum ("molluscum") in Europe. The Company sought and received positive written feedback from the CHMP to gain scientific advice on the development of YCANTH for the treatment of molluscum in adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. Several key issues discussed in the feedback included alignment on:
- The acceptability of the design of the previously-completed Phase 3 studies, including study duration, choice of primary and secondary endpoints and the choice of patient population;
- The clinical safety data package to support MAA filing; and
- The adequacy of nonclinical studies and published literature to support the MAA filing.
VP-315
- On November 4, 2025, the Company presented new data on VP-315 from its Phase 2 trial in basal cell carcinoma (BCC) at the 40th Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting. The presentation revealed supportive immunologic mechanistic data that helps explain why VP-315 shrinks treated basal cell carcinomas in many patients (as evidenced by a 97% objective response rate and a 86% reduction in overall tumor size), but also a potential abscopal-like effect in non-treated lesions, which strongly suggests immune system engagement.
- The FDA confirmed alignment with the Company's plan for the Phase 3 program to encompass two placebo-controlled Phase 3 studies with approximately 100 subjects each and a primary endpoint of complete clearance as assessed at week 14. Based on the discussion with the FDA, the Company expects these studies will be adequate to support a New Drug Application (NDA) filing, with long-term follow-up studies to be conducted as post-approval commitments.
CORPORATE
- On September 19, 2025, Verrica announced that its development partner, Torii, received approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for YCANTH® (TO-208) for the treatment of molluscum. The approval triggered a $10 million cash milestone payment, which Verrica received in September 2025.
- On July 1, 2025, the Company announced a second amendment to its Collaboration and Licensing Agreement with Torii to initiate the global Phase 3 program of YCANTH® (TO-208) for the treatment of common warts.
- Torii agreed to accelerate an $8 million milestone payment to Verrica for initiating the global Phase 3 program, which the Company received in July 2025.
- Torii agreed to pay Verrica a $10 million milestone payment in cash for the Japanese approval of YCANTH (TO-208 in Japan) for molluscum. As noted above, Torii received approval for YCANTH in Japan in September 2025.
- Torii will continue to split the costs of the global Phase 3 program with Verrica on a 50/50 basis and will fund the first $40 million of the trial costs, representing approximately 90% of the current trial budget. To repay its half of the trial costs, Verrica will offset amounts otherwise owed by Torii for future royalties, certain transfer price payments and remaining development milestones (not including the $8 million and $10 million milestone payments noted above).
- Verrica will initiate a manufacturing transfer to Torii for YCANTH (TO-208) applicators to be sold in Japan, which is expected to take place in stages over the next several years. In the interim, Verrica will continue to receive from Torii a transfer price for applicators manufactured by Verrica's manufacturing partners. After the transfer of at least one component of the manufacturing process, Verrica will begin receiving royalties related to net sales in Japan of applicators manufactured by Torii and/or its manufacturing partners in lieu of the transfer price for completed applicators.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating the operating performance of its business, Verrica's management considers non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense that are required by GAAP. Verrica excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense from these non-GAAP measures to facilitate comparison to peer companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and because it reflects how management internally manages the business. In addition, Verrica excludes non-cash interest expense from these non-GAAP measures to facilitate an understanding of the effects of the debt service obligations on the Company's liquidity and comparisons to peer group companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and because it is reflective of how management internally manages the business. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Non-GAAP income (loss) from operations, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables following the financial statements in this press release.
About YCANTH® (VP-102)
YCANTH® is a proprietary drug-device combination product that contains a GMP-controlled formulation of cantharidin delivered via a single-use applicator that allows for precise topical dosing and targeted administration for the treatment of molluscum. YCANTH is the first and only healthcare professional-administered product approved by the FDA to treat adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older with molluscum contagiosum — a common, highly contagious skin disease that affects an estimated six million people in the United States, primarily children. Approval of YCANTH was based upon the positive results from two Phase 3 clinical trials in approximately 500 patients which demonstrated that YCANTH was a safe and effective therapeutic for the treatment of molluscum. Approximately 250 million lives are eligible to receive YCANTH covered by insurance. Commercially insured patients pay just $25 per YCANTH treatment visit, for up to two applicators. Other uninsured patients may be eligible to receive YCANTH at a reduced cost if certain eligibility requirements are met for patient assistance. Please visit YCANTHPro.com for additional information.
About VP- 315
VP-315 is a potential first-in-class oncolytic chemotherapeutic peptide immunotherapy administered directly into a tumor to induce immunogenic cell death and thereby unleashing a broad spectrum of tumor antigens for T cell responses, which may offer a non-surgical option for patients suffering from skin cancer. The technology is based on pioneering research in "host defense peptides" – nature's first line of defense towards foreign pathogens. Verrica holds an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize VP-315 for certain dermatologic oncology indications, including non-metastatic melanoma and non-metastatic merkel cell carcinoma, and intends to focus initially on basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas as the lead indications for development. VP-315 has demonstrated positive tumor-specific immune cell responses in multi-indication Phase 1/2 oncology trials.
