According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Verrica's proprietary applicator for VP-102 posed safety risks to patients if the instructions were not followed exactly. Based on this risk, the Company built additional user features into the applicator. The applicator change would, in turn, require additional testing and supportive data. This additional work was likely to delay the regulatory approval of VP-102. 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.

Join the case to recover your losses.
