The problem Molluscum
Contagiosum
MOLLUSCUM BACKGROUND ETIOLOGY AND
CLINICAL PRESENTATION OVERVIEW Caused by a pox virus Primarily infects children, with the highest incidence occurring in children <14 years old Highly contagious If untreated, lesions persist an average of 13 months, with some cases remaining
unresolved for 2+ years Often leads to anxiety and social challenges for the patients and parents and negatively impacts quality of life Transmission Skin to skin contact Sharing of contaminated objects (e.g., clothing, towels, swimming pool toys)
Diagnosis & Symptoms Typically 10 to 30 lesions 100+ lesions can be observed Lesions may be the only sign of infection and are often painless Can be diagnosed with skin biopsy to differentiate from other lesions Complications Skin irritation,
inflammation, and re-infection Follicular or papillary conjunctivitis if lesions on eyelids Cellulitis Copyright © 2018 Verrica Pharmaceuticals. All rights reserved.
CURRENT TREATMENTS FOR MOLLUSCUM ARE
NOT FDA APPROVED AND HAVE MANY LIMITATIONS DESCRIPTION LIMITATIONS Cryotherapy Freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen Pain and scarring Unsuitable for use in children Curettage Using a curette or a surgical instrument with a scoop at the tip to
scrape the lesions Pain and scarring Unsuitable for use in children Laser Surgery Applying a laser to target and destroy the lesions Pain, cost and lack of availability Unsuitable for use in children Topical Products Applying various acids (e.g.
salicylic acid), creams or blistering solutions to destroy the lesions Unproven efficacy Off-Label Drugs Retinoids, antiviral medicines, or immune modulating therapies Limited efficacy Side-effects Natural Remedies Applying natural oils (e.g. tea
tree oil) with antimicrobial properties Unproven efficacy Pain, irritation and allergic reactions Broad use limited by unproven efficacy, scarring, lack of availability, safety concerns & pain Significantly undertreated patient population

Review of Cantharidin Treatment in 405 Children with Molluscum Contagiosum Virginia A. Moye, M.P.H.,* Shelley Catheart, M.D.,** Dean S. Morrell, M.D.** *University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, **Department of Dermatology,
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Cantharidin has been used for dermatologic diseases for over 50 years with the primary indications of removal of warts and MC.” TORBECK ET AL. 2014 Cantharidin is a safe treatment
modality for MC and should be considered when symptomatic infection necessitates treatment.” MOYE ET AL. 2014 Abundant clinical information indicates that, with careful use under physician direction, toxicities are seen that are not worse than
and sometimes less severe than those seen with other destructive modalities in the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and warts. Cantharidin is considered by some to be a treatment of choice for molluscum contagiosum in young children.” FDA

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 Per the FDA, highly variable in purity with impurities such as residual solvents or 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 70 503B facilities and 5 compounders of

Mechanism of Action and Clinical
Evidence
CANTHARIDIN HAS A PROVEN DUAL
MECHANISM OF ACTION Targeted Destruction of Infected Skin Leads to Lesion Clearance Once applied, cantharidin activates neutral serine proteases that cause degeneration of the desmosomal plaque, leading to detachment of tonofilaments from
desmosomes.(1) This leads to intraepidermal blistering and nonspecific lysis of the skin, causing the tissues containing the virus to separate from the surrounding skin. Since acantholysis is intraepidermal, healing occurs without scarring. 1
Elicits Inflammation & Immune Response with Potential to Boost Viral Immune Response Leukocyte infiltration includes neutrophils, macrophages, B and T cells and eosinophils Release of chemokines and cytokines including TNF-a, IL-8 and CXCL-5
Cantharidin is used in the laboratory as a model for studying leukocyte trafficking and cytokine production.(2) 2 J Invest Dermatol. 1962 Jul;39:39-45. J Immunol Methods. 2001 Nov 1;257(1-2):213-20.2 Desmosome Cleavage and Blister Formation

VP-102’s API & WOULD USE IF AVAILABLE Pompei DT et al. Cantharidin Therapy: Practice patterns and attitudes of health care providers. 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 VP-102 stated inaccessibility as a primary reason why they are not using(1) Physicians reported they would use VP-102 if the cost of the

VERRICA HAS SEVERAL POTENTIAL WAYS
TO MAINTAIN EXCLUSIVITY Regulatory Exclusivity 5.5 years of exclusivity for cantharidin as API possible upon approval (inclusive of potential for 6 months for pediatric indication) 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 VP-102 and potential competitors Cannot do traditional PK/bioequivalence study (no blood level
profile for 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 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
PORTFOLIO KEY CLAIMS AND PATENT APPLICATIONS VALUE TO VERRICA Our specific formulation (VP-102), key safety additions and novel cantharidin formulations (PCT/US2014/052184) May prevent generics from copying our ether-free formulation or from making
similar formulations Single use applicator containing cantharidin formulations (PCT/US2014/052184) 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/US2018/036353) May prevent generics from utilizing a similar applicator
Methods of use for cantharidin in the treatment of molluscum (PCT/US2018/037808 and PCT/US2018/036353) 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 and 62/568,004)
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 6
