VERRICA PHARMACEUTICALS INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. - VRCA

Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NasdaqGM: VRCA).

In December 2020, the Company submitted a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for regulatory approval of its lead product, VP-102 or YCANTH, for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum, a skin disease. On September 20, 2021, the Company disclosed the receipt of a Complete Response Letter (“CRL”) resulting from deficiencies at its contract manufacturer’s facility. In November 2021, the Company resubmitted the NDA, claiming “[t]he resubmission addresses the successful resolution of inspection deficiencies” at the manufacturing facility. Then, on May 24, 2022, the Company disclosed the receipt of another Complete Response Letter regarding the VP-102 NDA citing “deficiencies identified during a general reinspection of Sterling Pharmaceuticals Services, LLC (Sterling), the contract manufacturing organization (CMO) that manufactures Verrica’s bulk solution drug product.”

Thereafter, the Company and certain of its executives were sued in a securities class action lawsuit, charging them with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. Recently, the court presiding over that case denied the Company’s motion to dismiss in part, allowing the case to move forward.

KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether Verrica’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to its shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
