Regulatory Exclusivity and Intellectual Property Copyright © 2022 Verrica Pharmaceuticals. All rights reserved.


Slide 44

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 Copyright © 2022 Verrica Pharmaceuticals.

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.
