According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Verrica suffered from manufacturing problems at its contract manufacturer’s facility during bulk production of its lead product candidate, VP-102. These deficiencies had not been successfully remediated when the Company resubmitted its NDA for VP-102 to the FDA. This failure was likely to impact the chances of regulatory approval for the Company’s product candidate. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Verrica, investors suffered damages.
