Previous wording
We are a dermatology therapeutics company developing and selling medications for skin diseases requiring medical intervention. Our commercial product and portfolio of product candidates areclinician administered therapies in areas of high unmet need. Our current product portfolio consists of one approved product with several potential follow-on indications, as well as an additional pipeline product. Our commercial product, YCANTH (VP-102), was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in July 2023 for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. YCANTH (VP-102) is a proprietary drug-device combination that contains a GMP-controlled formulation of cantharidin. We are currently developing YCANTH (VP-102) for a potential follow-on indication for the treatment of common warts. Our second development candidate, VP-315, is an oncolytic peptide-based injectable therapy for the potential treatment of dermatology oncologic conditions, including basal cell carcinoma, or BCC.

Previous wording
We commercially launched YCANTH (VP-102) in August 2023 in the United States for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum. We have built a specialized sales organization consisting of 37 employee sales representatives in the United States focused on pediatric dermatologists, dermatologists, and select pediatricians.

We also plan to advance YCANTH (VP-102) for common warts through a separate regulatory approval process and have begun the Phase 3 Program with our partner, Torii. We expect to dose the first patient in the Phase 3 Program in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Current wording
We also plan to advance YCANTH (VP-102) for common warts through a separate regulatory approval process and have begun the Phase 3 Program, or the Program, with our partner, Torii. We expect to dose the first patient in the Program in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
In the future, we also intend to pursue commercialization for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum, as well as YCANTH (VP-102) for common warts if approved, in additional geographic regions, either alone or together with a strategic partner.
Current wording
On October 20, 2025, we announced the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency provided positive feedback that supports the filing of a Marketing Authorization Application for YCANTH (VP-102), as a treatment for molluscum contagiosum in the EU. We currently retain all global rights to YCANTH outside of Japan and we are currently exploring non-dilutive partnerships to fund development and commercialization for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum, as well as YCANTH (VP-102) for common warts if approved, in additional geographic regions outside of the United States and Japan.
Previous wording
We are also developing VP-315 for the treatment of BCC and potentially additional dermatological oncology indications. We held an end-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA in the first quarter and expect to report additional data by the end of 2025, which we believe will help inform next steps for the advancement of the program into Phase 3 clinical trials.
Current wording
We are also developing VP-315 for the treatment of BCC and potentially additional dermatological oncology indications. We recently presented additional data at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer 40th Annual Meeting in November 2025, which showed that VP-315 induced a robust local immune response with both cell-mediated and humoral components, effectively shifting the tumor microenvironment from an immunosuppressive to an anti-tumor state, and additional data regarding the histologic assessment in non-injected lesions that suggests a potential abscopal-like effect. We have also obtained feedback from the FDA from the end-of-Phase 2 meeting earlier this year that supports an efficient Phase 3 program and path to registration for VP-315. This includes two Phase 3 studies of approximately 100 subjects each in placebo-controlled studies with a primary endpoint of complete clearance at week 14. Additional long-term follow up studies will all be deferred to post approval commitments. We believe these data, coupled with the EOP2 regulatory feedback, further support the clinical efficacy and histologic clearance observed in the Phase 2 BCC trial. These data also help inform next steps for the advancement of the program into Phase 3 clinical trials, with the company currently evaluting cost and logistics for the initiation of the Phase 3 program. This clarity also provides an opportunity for us to explore non-dilutive strategic partnerships to help fund the development and commercialization of VP-315.

We will need substantial additional financing to fund our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses, delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs and/or continued and future commercialization efforts. In addition, the amount of proceeds we may be able to raise pursuant to our currently effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 is limited. We are subject to the general instructions of Form S-3 known as the "baby shelf rules." Under these rules, the amount of funds we can raise through primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using our registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of the aggregate market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates. Therefore, we will be limited in the amount of proceeds we are able to raise by selling securities using our Form S-3 until such time as our public float exceeds $75.0 million.
Current wording
While we expect to continue to generate revenue from the sale of YCANTH (VP-102), our expenses may increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the research and development of, continue or initiate clinical trials of, and seek marketing approval for, our product candidates. We will need substantial additional financing to fund our operations. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to reduce operating expenses, delay, reduce or eliminate our research and development programs and/or continued and future commercialization efforts.

Previous wording
We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception and expect to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $316.6 million. We believe our cash, and cash equivalents of $15.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and the $8.0 million milestone payment received from Torii in July 2025 will be sufficient to support our planned operations into the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on our current business plan and current capital resources, combined with the uncertainty regarding the availability of additional funding and considering our debt obligations, including a requirement to maintain cash, cash equivalents and investments of at least $10.0 million at all times, we have concluded there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements are issued. We plan to address the conditions that raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern by, among other things, obtaining additional funding through equity offerings, debt financing and refinancings, collaborations, strategic alliances and/or licensing arrangements. While beyond our control, we could receive (A) a $10.0 million milestone payment for regulatory approval of YCANTH (TO-208) in Japan for the treatment of molluscum, which may occur before the end of 2025, and (B) up to $25.0 million upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants issued in conjunction with the November 2024 Equity Financing, which have an exercise price of $10.68 per share and expire in November 2025. Either of these may result in additional liquidity during 2025 and alleviate the substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot predict with certainty that these funds will be received and alleviate the substantial doubt. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result should we be unable to continue as a going concern. We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our capital resources sooner than we expect. Our future capital requirements, and timing, will depend on many factors, including:
