Verrica Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VRCA) has announced a significant amendment to its Collaboration and License Agreement with Torii Pharmaceutical for launching a global Phase 3 clinical trial of YCANTH® to treat common warts. The company will receive an $8 million milestone payment in July 2025 for initiating the study, and an additional $10 million milestone payment upon YCANTH's approval for molluscum contagiosum in Japan, expected by end of 2025.
The agreement includes Torii funding the first $40 million of out-of-pocket costs for the global study, covering approximately 90% of the current clinical budget. The study targets common warts, which affects 22 million patients in the United States alone, with no current FDA-approved prescription therapies. Verrica plans to dose the first patient in the U.S. Phase 3 trial in Q4 2025.
Under the amended agreement, Verrica maintains ownership of global rights to YCANTH for all indications outside Japan. The companies will split the Phase 3 program costs 50/50, with Verrica repaying its portion through offsets against future royalties and transfer price payments from Torii. Additionally, Verrica will initiate a manufacturing transfer to Torii for YCANTH applicators for the Japanese market.
