NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 1, 2020 / Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Verrica" or "the Company") (NASDAQ:VRCA). Investors who purchased Verrica securities are encouraged to obtain additional information and assist the investigation by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/vrca.
The investigation concerns whether Verrica and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated federal securities laws.
On June 29, 2020, Verrica announced that it received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") as part of the FDA's ongoing review of the Company's New Drug Application for VP-102 (cantharidin 0.7% topical solution), Verrica's lead product candidate for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum. According to the Company, the letter cited deficiencies that preclude discussion of labeling and post-marketing requirements/commitments at this time. While Verrica stated that the letter did not specify any particular items, it noted that the FDA's periodic requests for additional information pertained to chemistry, manufacturing, and control aspects of the drug-device combination. The Company also stated that its ability to address the requests had been "significantly impacted" by COVID-19 disruptions. Following this announcement, Verrica's stock price fell $3.06 per share, or 21.75%, to close at $11.01 per share on June 30, 2020.
