Molluscum Clinical Evidence


Slide 14

CANTHARIDIN elicits a dual response in the skin Superficial blistering of lesional skin Cantharidin is a vesicant, causing the pharmacodynamic response of blistering in the skin. Once applied, cantharidin activates neutral serine proteases that cause degeneration of the desmosomal plaque and intraepidermal blistering.(1) 1 Elicits Inflammation & Immune Response Cantharidin stimulates leukocyte infiltration (e.g., neutrophils, macrophages, B and T cells and eosinophils) and the release of chemokines and cytokines including TNF-a, IL-8 and CXCL-5.(2) 2 J Invest Dermatol. 1962 Jul;39:39-45.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. 2013; 68(6). Survey of 400 healthcare providers, 87.7% of responders were US based dermatologists. Company survey of 40 physicians. Physicians who do not use the API of YCANTH™ (VP-102) stated inaccessibility as a primary reason why they are not using(1) Physicians reported they would use YCANTH™ (VP-102) if the cost of the drug was covered(2) ~70% 87%

Regulatory Exclusivity and Intellectual Property


Slide 50

VERRICA HAS SEVERAL POTENTIAL WAYS TO MAINTAIN EXCLUSIVITY for VP-102 Regulatory Exclusivity 5 years of exclusivity for cantharidin as API potentially available upon approval (potential for additional 6 months for pediatric exclusivity for common warts and plantar warts indications) Compounding Pharmacies If VP-102 is approved, traditional compounding pharmacies will NOT be able to continue compounding cantharidin regularly or in inordinate amounts, except under patient specific circumstances as prescribed by a physician. The FDA has the authority to regulate compounders. Improper compounding can result in monetary fines plus felony convictions in case of repeat offenses and intent to fraud/mislead. Manufacturing VP-102 has the potential to address stability issues with standard packaging and container/ closure systems True Generic Unlikely Unlikely to receive approval under an ANDA due to uniqueness from patent pending protection and significant differences likely between YCANTH™ (VP-102) and potential competitors Cannot do traditional PK/bioequivalence study (no blood level profile for YCANTH™ (VP-102) ) May require new clinical studies with new formulation and new delivery approach that shows equivalence without violating any of Verrica's IP Limited commercial CMOs with facilities for handling highly potent and highly flammable liquid products Entered into a supply agreement for naturally-sourced cantharidin; subject to specified minimum annual purchase orders and forecasts, supplier agreed that it will not supply cantharidin, any beetles or other raw material from which cantharidin is derived to any other customer in North America

OVERVIEW OF VP-102/103 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PORTFOLIO KEY CLAIMS AND PATENT APPLICATIONS VALUE TO VERRICA Our specific formulation, YCANTH™ (VP-102), key safety additions and novel cantharidin formulations (PCT/US2014/052184) (PCT/US2018/036353) May prevent generics from copying our ether-free formulation or from making similar formulations Single use applicator containing cantharidin formulations (PCT/US2014/052184) (PCT/US2018/037808) May prevent generics from utilizing a single-use applicator for cantharidin that contains both a glass ampule to maintain product stability and a filter placed prior to dispensing tip, which helps increase administration accuracy and prevents direct contact with skin Specific design of our commercial applicator (PCT/US2018/037808) (US 29/607744) May prevent generics from utilizing a similar applicator Design patent application allowed in the US Methods of use for cantharidin in the treatment of molluscum (PCT/US2018/037808 and PCT/US2018/036353) (PCT/US2014/052184) May prevent generics from a similar treatment regimen and label Methods for purifying cantharidin and analyzing cantharidin or cantharidin solutions (PCT/US2016/14139) May force generics to find alternative methodologies to produce GMP cantharidin or determine if their API or drug product is GMP compliant Methods for complete cantharidin synthesis (PCT/US2015/066487) (PCT/US2018/054373) Synthetic version would reduce risks of outside contaminants and environmental factors affecting the naturally-sourced API. May prevent generics competing with a synthetic version of cantharidin Any patents issued from our applications are projected to expire between 2034 and 2039, excluding any patent term adjustment and patent term extensions 1 2 3 4 5

HISTORICAL COMPOUNDED CANTHARIDIN PRESENTS A NUMBER OF LIMITATIONS Varying concentration Evaporation of volatile solvents leads to concentration increases Patients can receive more drug than clinically necessary resulting in excessive blistering Inconsistent purity and lack of controlled product manufacturing Risk of impurities present such as residual solvents and pesticides Lack of reimbursement Not FDA approved and therefore not eligible for drug reimbursement Inconvenient and variable administration Application with the wooden stick part of a cotton-tipped swab can lead to patients receiving more drug than necessary Inability for physicians to identify where the drug has been applied Limited availability Illegal to import formulated cantharidin Generally not available in hospitals and academic settings, which require FDA approved product Only an estimated 7% of 503B compounders produce formulations containing cantharidin(1) 2 1 3 5 4 Based on 57 503B facilities and 4 compounders of cantharidin per FDA database (January – June 2019).
