(“Verrica”) (Nasdaq: VRCA), a dermatology therapeutics company developing medications for skin diseases requiring medical interventions, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. “The first quarter of 2024 marked a period of significant accomplishments across our business, as we continued to expand utilization of YCANTH, received a permanent J-Code from CMS, and secured new chemical entity status from the FDA for YCANTH,” said Ted White, Verrica’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “I am also pleased to report that we have seen a meaningful uptick in prescription growth and onboarding of buy and bill accounts following the listing of the permanent J-Code for YCANTH, which went into effect on April 1. “Looking ahead, this quarter we expect to announce Phase 2 results from our lead pipeline candidate, VP-315, which is being evaluated for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma. As a potential first-in-class oncolytic peptide, VP-315 is designed to have a direct killing activity of the cancer cells, and also to stimulate the immune system to recognize, infiltrate, and attack the cancer. We expect to share data from the Phase 2 study later this quarter, and we are excited about VP-315’s potential to provide an important treatment alternative for the thousands of patients who are diagnosed each year with BCC.” Conference Call and Webcast InformationThe Company will host a conference call today, Monday, May 13, 2024, at 8:30 AM, Eastern Time, to discuss its first quarter 2024 financial results and provide a business update.
