Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Description of Business Operations | Note 1—Organization and Description of Business Operations Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on July 3, 2013 and is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company is a dermatology therapeutics company developing and selling medications for skin diseases requiring medical intervention. On July 21, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved YCANTH (formerly referred to as VP-102) topical solution for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adult and pediatric patients two years of age and older. The Company launched commercial operations in August 2023. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred s ubstantial operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 230.4 million. In July 2022, the Company sold 13,575,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $ 2.10 per share, resulting in cumulative net proceeds of $ 26.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses. On February 23, 2023, the Company sold 750,000 shares of its common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,064,814 shares of common stock. The shares of common stock were sold at a price of $ 6.75 per share and the pre-funded warrants were sold at a price of $ 6.7499 per pre-funded warrant, resulting in net proceeds of $ 30.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses of approximately $ 2.3 million (see Note 8). O n July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement which provides for up to $ 125.0 million in debt under a Loan Facility (as defined in Note 11). The Company borrowed $ 50.0 million under the Loan Facility on July 26, 2023, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $ 44.1 million after payment of certain fees and transaction related expenses. In addition, up to $ 25.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2024, up to $ 30.0 million will be made available on or prior to December 31, 2024, up to $ 10.0 million will be made available on or prior to March 31, 2025, and up to $ 10.0 million will be made available on or prior to June 30, 2025, in each case, subject to the Company's achievement of certain revenue targets. Amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility will mature on July 26, 2028 . The Company believes its cash, and cash equivalents of $ 69.5 million as of December 31, 2023 will be sufficient to support the Company’s planned operations into the second quarter of 2025. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience as well as other pertinent industry and regulatory authority information, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected. Segments Opera ting segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. C ash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market mutual funds. Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s deposits are in accounts at large financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the funds are held. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 includes a cash deposit of $ 500,000 with Bank of America as required under the Commercial Credit Card Program with a balance equal to the outstanding credit limit on commercial credit cards. Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk At December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments included cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value, given their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company's long term debt (Note 11) approximates fair value as the interest rate is reflective of current market rates on debt with similar terms and conditions. Cash equivalents subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. However, the Company invests its cash in accordance with a policy objective that seeks to ensure both liquidity and safety of principal. The policy limits investments to instruments issued by the U.S. government, certain SEC registered money market funds that invest only in U.S. government obligations and various other low-risk liquid investment options, and places restrictions on portfolio maturity terms. Accounts receivable, trade subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk as all of the Company's revenue is from sales of a single product, YCANTH (VP-102) , to one pharmaceutical wholesale/distributor. Accounts Receivable, Trade Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts related to YCANTH (VP-102) sales, which are recorded in net accounts receivable on the balance sheet, were $ 4.2 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 , the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's assessment of the creditworthiness and financial condition of its customers, aging of receivables, as well as the general economic environment. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. Current payment terms for YCANTH (VP-102) are 60 days from the shipment date. Inventor y The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the specific identification method. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive the new cost basis, which takes into account the Company’s sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. The Company has not recognized a provision for obsolete and excess inventory as of December 31, 2023. On July 21, 2023, the Company received FDA approval for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and began capitalizing inventory purchases of saleable product from certain suppliers. Prior to FDA approval, all product purchased from such suppliers was included as a component of research and development expense, as the Company was unable to assert that the inventory had future economic benefit until YCANTH (VP-102) received FDA approval. Pursuant to the supply agreement (Note 7), the Company purchased and included in research and development expenses approximately $ 4.5 million of raw cantharidin and processed active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"). The raw cantharidin and processed API is sufficient to produce approximately 14 million finished drug product applicators to be used for commercially saleable product and other product candidates. In addition, the Company purchased other components and services related to YCANTH (VP-102) for commercially saleable product and included approximately $ 1.2 million in research and development expenses prior to FDA approval. As a result, cost of product revenue related to YCANTH (VP-102) will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials over approximately the next six months as previously expensed inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers. If the Company were to have included those costs previously expensed as a component of cost of product revenue, the Company’s cost of product revenue for twelve months ended December 31, 2023 would have been $ 0.5 million. Property and Equipmen t Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the expected useful lives of the assets, after the assets are placed in service. Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using discounted cash flows. The Company recognized a $ 2.6 million impairment loss on disposal of the assembly and packaging line during the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 3). No impairment losses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 . The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment: Description Useful lives Machinery and equipment 3 - 5 years Office furniture and fixtures and equipment 3 year s Leasehold improvements Lease Term Automobiles 3 years Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Loan Facility (Note 11) are amortized to interest expense over the term of the financing arrangement using the effective-interest method. Debt issuance costs, net of related amortization are deducted from the carrying value of the related debt. Revenue Product Revenue, Net The Company recognizes revenue from sales of a single product, YCANTH (the “Product”) in accordance with ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. YCANTH (VP-102) became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the United States in the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company sells the Product to one customer, a pharmaceutical wholesaler/distributor (the “Customer”) who in turn sells the Product directly to clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare programs. Revenue is recognized as the Product is physically delivered to the Customer. Gross product sales are reduced by corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates using the expected value method, resulting in the Company’s reported “Product revenue, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Product revenue, net reflects the amount the Company ultimately expects to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account the current period gross sales and related cash receipts and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that the Company estimates for the various GTN categories discussed below. The GTN estimates are based upon information received from external sources, such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period, in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, co-pay assistance and distribution, data, and group purchasing organizations ("GPO") administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated. Variance between actual amounts and estimated amounts may result in prospective adjustments to reported net product revenue. Each of the GTN estimate categories are discussed below: Product Returns Allowances : The Customer is contractually permitted to return purchased Product in certain circumstances. The Company estimates expected returns based on the Company’s review of similar products in the industry while also using the limited sales history. As historical data for returns of the Product becomes available over time, the Company will utilize historical return rates of the Product in making its estimates. Returned Product is typically destroyed, since substantially all returns are due to expiry and cannot be resold. Government Chargebacks : The Product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs, including Medicare and the 340B drug pricing program. Qualifying entities (the “End-Users”) purchase the Product from the Customer at their applicable qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount the Company incurs represents the difference between the Company’s contractual sales price to the Customer and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program. Medicaid Rebates: The Product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with the Product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for the Product under the applicable Medicaid program. The Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require the Company to project the magnitude of its sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates. Patient Assistance: The Company offers a voluntary co-pay patient assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to eligible patients with a prescription drug co-payment required by payors and coupon programs for cash payors. The calculation of the current liability for this assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with YCANTH (VP-102) that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of the Company’s products for various commercial services including contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of the Company’s applicable sales. Collaboration Revenues The Company has generated collaboration revenue through its licensing and collaboration arrangements. The terms of the arrangements typically include payments to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, up-front license fees: regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services; materials shipped to support development; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company’s revenue arrangements may include the following: Up-front License Fees : If a license is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from nonrefundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Milestone Payments: At the inception of an agreement that includes regulatory or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of achievement of each milestone under its current agreements. Royalties: If the Company is entitled to receive sales-based royalties from its collaborator, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, provided the reported sales are reliably measurable, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Manufacturing Supply and Research Services : Arrangements that include a promise for supply of drug substance or drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee’s discretion are generally considered as options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If not, the supply services are recognized as collaboration revenue as the Company provides the services. The Company receives payments from its licensees based on schedules established in each contract. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the licensees and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less. See Note 13 for a full discussion of the Company’s collaboration arrangements. Cost of Product Revenue Cost of product revenue includes the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for YCANTH (VP-102) sales. Prior to FDA approval in July 2023, the Company expensed approximately $ 0.2 million in costs associated with the manufacturing of YCANTH (VP-102) as a component of research and development expense. Therefore, these costs are not included in cost of product revenue. Advertising Expense Advertising expenses, comprised primarily of print and digital assets, social media and internet advertising as well as search engine marketing, are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. For the year end December 31, 2023 , advertising expenses were approximately $ 3.5 million. Research and Development Costs The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and equity-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. Fair Value Measurement ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation . The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards. For stock-based awards granted to employees, non-employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option award and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The use of the Black‑Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected term of the option, risk‑free interest rates, and, for grants prior to the Company’s IPO, the value of the common stock. The expected term of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The Company historically has been a private-company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, it estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies in addition to the volatility of the Company's stock. For the year ended December 31, 2023, volatility is based solely on the Company's stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected term of the option. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does no t expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value of restricted stock awards are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period including pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,064,814 shares of common stock that were issued in an underwritten offering in February 2023 (Note 8). The pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share is non-substantive and is virtually assured . Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and dilutive net loss per common share are the same. The table below provides potential shares outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive: As of December 31, 2023 2022 Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options 5,565,615 3,932,779 Non-vested shares under restricted stock grants 561,500 425,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants pursuant to debt financing 518,551 — Total 6,645,666 4,357,779 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The standard amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction in carrying value of the asset. Entities will no longer be permitted to consider the length of time that fair value has been less than amortized cost when evaluating when credit losses should be recognized. This new guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures . |

Commitments and Contingencies | Note 7—Commitments and Contingencies Litigation On June 6, 2022, plaintiff Kranthi Gorlamari (“Plaintiff” filed a putative class action complaint captioned Gorlamari v. Verrica Pharmaceuticals Inc., et al., in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against us and certain of our current and former officers and directors (“Defendants”). On January 12, 2023, the Plaintiff filed an amended complaint alleging that Defendants violated federal securities laws by, among other things, failing to disclose certain manufacturing deficiencies at the facility where our contract manufacturer produced bulk solution for the YCANTH (VP-102) drug device and that such deficiencies posed a risk to the prospects for regulatory approval of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum. The amended complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief on behalf of Plaintiff and all other persons and entities which purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between May 19, 2021 and May 24, 2022 (the “Putative Class Period”). On January 12, 2024, the Court granted in part and denied in part Defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Court held that Plaintiff’s claims relating to statements made in May and June 2021 were sufficiently pled, but dismissed Plaintiff’s claims relating to all other statements made during the Putative Class Period. On January 26, 2024, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint in an attempt to cure certain of the deficiencies identified in the January 12, 2024 ruling. Defendants have until March 11, 2024 to answer or file a motion against the second amended complaint. The Company is also involved in ordinary, routine legal proceedings that are not considered by management to be material. In the opinion of Company counsel and management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such legal proceedings will not materially affect the financial position of the Company or its results of operations or cash flows. Supply Agreement and Purchase Order On July 16, 2018, the Company entered into a supply agreement with a supplier of crude cantharidin material. All executed purchase orders for crude cantharidin in the ordinary course of business are expected to be covered under the terms of the supply agreement. Pursuant to the supply agreement, the supplier has agreed that it will not supply cantharidin, any beetles or other raw material from which cantharidin is derived to any other customer in North America, subject to specified minimum annual purchase orders and forecasts by the Company. The supply agreement had an initial five-year term, and now renews for successive annual periods absent termination by either party in accordance with the terms of the supply agreement. Each party also has the right to terminate the supply agreement for other customary reasons such as material breach or bankruptcy . In both 2023 and 2022, the Company executed respective purchase orders pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase $ 0.7 million of crude cantharidin material and made prepayments of $ 0.7 million in each year against the purchase orders. T he Company received the shipment for the 2022 purchase, however, the 2023 purchase has yet to be received. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the balance sheet reflects prepaid expense of $ 0.7 million and $ 1.5 million, respectively. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Note 9—Stock-Based Comp ensation In June 2018, the Board adopted and approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), which amended and restated the Company’s prior 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and became effective in connection with the IPO. Prior to the effectiveness of the 2018 Plan, the 2013 Plan provided for the grant of share-based awards to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. As a result of the effectiveness of the 2018 Plan, no further grants may be made under the 2013 Plan. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance-based stock awards and other forms of stock awards to employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The 2018 Plan also provides for the grant of performance-based cash awards to employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The Company initially reserved 3,738,199 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2018 Plan, which is the sum of (1) 2,198,198 new shares, plus (2) the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan at the time the 2018 Plan became effective, plus (3) any shares subject to outstanding stock options or other stock awards that would have otherwise returned to the 2013 Plan (such as upon the expiration or termination of a stock award prior to exercise). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan will automatically increase on January 1 each year, for a period of ten years , from January 1, 2019 through January 1, 2028, by 4 % of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or a lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Board. As of December 31, 2023 , 2,419,919 shares were available for grant under the 2018 Plan. Stock Options The Co mpany’s employee and non-employee stock options generally vest as follows: 25 % after 12 months of continuous services and the remaining 75 % on a ratable basis over a 36-month period from 12 months after the grant date. Stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 have a maximum contractual term of 10 years . The stock options are subject to time vesting requirements through 2026 , are nontransferable, and have term expiration dates set to expire through 2033 . The grant date fair value of employee and non-employee stock option awards is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 to estimate the fair value of employee and non-employee stock option awards: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Risk-free rate of interest 3.57 % - 4.76 % 1.67 % - 4.36 % Expected term (years) 5.3 - 6.3 5.3 - 6.0 Expected stock price volatility 93.09 % - 95.94 % 86.58 % - 95.10 % Dividend yield — — The following table summarizes the Company’s employee and non-employee stock option activity under the 2013 Plan and 2018 Plan for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022: Weighted average Weighted average remaining contractual Aggregate intrinsic Number of shares exercise price term (in years) value Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 3,443,817 $ 10.05 Granted 1,137,936 6.86 Exercised — — Forfeited and expired ( 648,974 ) 10.90 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 3,932,779 $ 8.99 7.3 $ 173,604 Granted 1,760,836 6.38 Exercised ( 8,000 ) 0.90 Forfeited and expired ( 120,000 ) 5.52 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 5,565,615 $ 8.25 7.2 $ 4,143,150 Options vested and exercisable as of 3,081,357 $ 9.07 5.9 $ 1,810,191 The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between fair market value of the Company’s common stock price and the exercise price of the stock options. The weighted average grant date fair value per share for the employee and non-employee stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 w as $ 5.07 and $ 5.23 , respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested employee and non-employee stock option awards granted was $ 12.0 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. Restricted Stock Units In November 2019 and August 2020 the Company granted 300,000 and 250,000 restricted stock units ("RSU"), respectively, to its executive officers of which 125,000 were forfeited. Half of the remaining RSUs vested upon receipt of regulatory approval of YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum on July 21, 2023 (the “Approval Date”) and the other half will vest on July 21, 2024 subject to the holders’ continuous service through such date. In March 2023, the Company granted 698,000 RSUs, half of which vested upon the first commercial sale of YCANTH (VP-102) on August 24, 2023 (the “First Sale Date”) and half of which will vest on August 24, 2024 subject to the holders’ continuous service through such date. Compensation expense of $ 8.8 million was recognized in the Company’s statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the vested RSUs based on the fair market value at the date of grant. As of December 31, 2023 , the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the RSUs was $ 1.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average service period of 0.4 years now that vesting of these awards is probable.

During the term of the Loan Facility, interest payable in cash by the Company shall accrue on any outstanding balance due under the Loan Facility at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (x) the SOFR rate (which is the forward-looking term rate for a one-month tenor based on the secured overnight financing rate administered by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited) and (y) 4.00 % plus, in either case, 8.00 %. During an event of default, any outstanding amount under the Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 4.00 % in excess of the otherwise applicable rate of interest. The Company paid or will pay certain fees with respect to the Loan Facility, including an upfront fee, an unused fee on the undrawn portion of the Loan Facility, an administration fee, a prepayment premium and an exit fee, as well as certain other fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

The warrants were deemed to be classified as equity per the guidance ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging. The proceeds from the debt transaction were allocated among the two instruments based on their relative fair values. The relative fair value of the warrants was determined to be $ 2.0 million and the fair value was determined to be $ 2.4 million based on the black-scholes valuation technique and the key assumptions used were as follows: (i) an expected term of 10 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 94.86 %, (iii) a risk free rate of 3.86 % and (iv) no estimated dividend yield. On each of December 20, 2023 and January 31, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement in order to extend a deadline for a specified regulatory milestone. For the second amendment on January 31, 2024, the Company paid an upfront amendment fee of $ 250,000 and agreed to make an additional payment of $ 250,000 if a specified regulatory milestone is not achieved by a specified date. The Loan Facility is classified as non-current debt at issuance as the Company does not currently intend to repay amounts borrowed under the Loan Facility prior to the maturity date of July 26, 2028 and believes that the probability of any acceleration of the Loan Facility is not probable at December 31, 2023 . The Company has incurred debt discount and issuance costs of $ 10.4 million, that are classified as a contra-liability on the balance sheet. The debt discount and issuance costs consists of $ 5.9 million paid in cash during the year ended December 31, 2023 and the final payment fee of $ 2.5 million, classified as a long-term liability and the fair value of the warrants of $ 2.0 million, classified as equity on the condensed balance sheet. For the year ended December 31, 2023 , the Company recognized interest expense related to the Credit Agreement of $ 4.0 million, of which $ 3.2 million was interest on the term loan and $ 0.8 million was non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of deferred debt issuance costs and accrual of the final payment fee. The following table summarizes the composition of debt as reflected on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands): |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Note 12–Income Taxe s There is no provision for income taxes as the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and maintains a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Differences between the provision (benefit) for income taxes and income taxes at the statutory federal income tax rate are as follows (in thousands): For the Year Ended 2023 2022 Tax computed at statutory federal income tax rate $ ( 14,069 ) $ ( 5,142 ) State taxes, net of federal benefit ( 1,547 ) ( 955 ) Permanent items 1,063 251 R&D credits ( 466 ) ( 235 ) Change in tax rate 482 4,637 Other 585 127 Change in valuation allowance 13,952 1,317 Income tax provision (benefit) $ — $ — Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows (in thousands): As of 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryovers $ 37,167 $ 29,771 Sec. 174 capitalization 5,150 2,465 Share-based compensation 4,690 3,704 Tax credits 3,081 2,615 Accrued compensation 803 345 Amortization 673 780 Lease liabilities 619 383 Other 2,122 70 Total deferred tax assets 54,305 40,133 Less valuation allowance ( 53,684 ) ( 39,732 ) Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance 621 401 Deferred tax liabilities: Right-of-use assets ( 601 ) ( 362 ) Fixed assets ( 20 ) ( 39 ) Total deferred tax liabilities ( 621 ) ( 401 ) Net deferred tax assets $ — $ — The Company has determined, based upon all available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset will not be realized and, accordingly, has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximat ely $ 149.6 million and $ 152.1 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforwards included in the foregoing totals that were generated prior to 2018 (federal of approximately $ 6.9 million) will begin to expire, if not utilized, by 2033 . Under the 2017 federal income tax law changes, federal net operating losses incurred in 2018 and in future years may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of such federal net operating losses is limited. As of December 31, 2023 , the Company had federal and state research and development carryforwards of $ 3.1 million. In addi tion, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and corresponding provisions of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally defined as a greater than 50 % change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three-year period, the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be limited. The Company has not done an analysis to determine whether or not ownership changes have occurred since inception. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The Company does not anticipate a material change to unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months. The 2017 and subsequent federal and state tax years for the Company remain open for the assessment of income taxes. |

License And Collaboration Agreements [Abstract] | |
License and Collaboration Agreements | Note 13—License and Collaboration Agreements On March 17, 2021, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement (the “Torii Agreement”) with Torii, pursuant to which the Company granted Torii an exclusive license to develop and commercialize the Company’s product candidates that contain a topical formulation of cantharidin for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and common warts in Japan, including YCANTH (VP-102). Additionally, the Company granted Torii a right of first negotiation with respect to additional indications for the licensed products and certain additional products for use in the licensed field, in each case in Japan. Pursuant to the Torii Agreement, the Company received payments from Torii of $ 0.5 million in December 2020 and $ 11.5 million in April 2021. On July 25, 2022 Torii dosed the first patient in its Phase 3 trial of YCANTH (VP-102) (referred to as TO-208 in Japan) for molluscum contagiosum in Japan, triggering an $ 8.0 million milestone payment recognized as collaboration revenue in the statement of operations for the year period ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, the Company is entitled to receive from Torii an additional $ 50 million in aggregate payments from Torii contingent on achievement of specified development, regulatory, and sales milestones, in addition to tiered transfer price payments for supply of product in the percentage range of the mid- 30 ’s to the mid- 40 ’s of net sales. The transfer payments shall be payable, on a product-by-product basis, beginning on the first commercial sale of such product and ending on the latest of (a) expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim contained in certain licensed patents in Japan that cover such product, (b) expiration of regulatory exclusivity for the first indication for such product in Japan, and, (c) (i) with respect to the first product, ten years after first commercial sale of such product, and, (ii) with respect to any other product, the later of (x) ten years after first commercial sale of the first product and (y) five years after first commercial sale of such product. The Torii Agreement expires on a product-by-product basis upon expiration of Torii’s obligation under the agreement to make transfer price payments for such product. Torii has the right to terminate the agreement upon specified prior written notice to us. Additionally, either party may terminate the agreement in the event of an uncured material breach of the agreement by, or insolvency of, the other party. The Company may terminate the agreement in the event that Torii commences a legal action challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of any licensed patents. On March 7, 2022, the Company executed a Clinical Supply Agreement with Torii, whereby the Company will supply product to Torii for use in clinical trials and other development activities. The Company recognized billed and unbilled collaboration revenue of $ 0.5 million and $ 1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively related to supplies and development activity pursuant to this agreemen t. In August 2020, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Lytix Biopharma AS (“Lytix”) for the use of licensed technology to research, develop, manufacture, have manufactured, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import, and otherwise commercialize products for use in all malignant and pre-malignant dermatological indications, other than metastatic melanoma and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (the” Lytix Agreement”). As part of the Lytix Agreement, the Company paid Lytix a one-time up-front fee of $ 0.3 million in 2020. In addition, in May 2022 and February 2021, the Company paid Lytix a one-time $ 1.0 million and $ 2.3 million payment, respectively upon the achievement by Lytix of a regulatory milestone. The $ 1.0 and $ 2.3 million payments were recognized in research and development expense in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company is also obligated to pay up to $ 111.0 million contingent on achievement of specified development, regulatory, and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties based on worldwide annual net sales ranging in the low double digits to the mid-teens, subject to certain customary reductions. The Company’s obligation to pay royalties expires on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis on the later of the expiration or abandonment of the last to expire licensed patent covering VP-315 anywhere in the world and expiration of regulatory exclusivity for VP-315 in such country. Additionally, all upfront fees and milestone-based payments received by the Company from a sublicensee will be treated as net sales and will be subject to the royalty payment obligations under the Lytix Agreement, and all royalties received by the Company from a sublicensee shall be shared with Lytix at a rate that is initially 50 % but decreases based on the stage of development of VP-315 at the time such sublicense is granted. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience as well as other pertinent industry and regulatory authority information, results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected. |
Segments | Segments Opera ting segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | C ash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of 90 days or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and money market mutual funds. Cash and cash equivalents are financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. The Company’s deposits are in accounts at large financial institutions, and amounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which the funds are held. The Company has no financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk of loss. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 includes a cash deposit of $ 500,000 with Bank of America as required under the Commercial Credit Card Program with a balance equal to the outstanding credit limit on commercial credit cards. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk | Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Credit Risk At December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial instruments included cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value, given their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company's long term debt (Note 11) approximates fair value as the interest rate is reflective of current market rates on debt with similar terms and conditions. Cash equivalents subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. However, the Company invests its cash in accordance with a policy objective that seeks to ensure both liquidity and safety of principal. The policy limits investments to instruments issued by the U.S. government, certain SEC registered money market funds that invest only in U.S. government obligations and various other low-risk liquid investment options, and places restrictions on portfolio maturity terms. Accounts receivable, trade subjects the Company to concentrations of credit risk as all of the Company's revenue is from sales of a single product, YCANTH (VP-102) , to one pharmaceutical wholesale/distributor. |
Accounts Receivable, Trade | Accounts Receivable, Trade Trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts related to YCANTH (VP-102) sales, which are recorded in net accounts receivable on the balance sheet, were $ 4.2 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 , the Company had no allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's assessment of the creditworthiness and financial condition of its customers, aging of receivables, as well as the general economic environment. Any allowance would reduce the net receivables to the amount that is expected to be collected. Current payment terms for YCANTH (VP-102) are 60 days from the shipment date. |
Inventory | Inventor y The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is determined using the specific identification method. The Company regularly reviews its inventory quantities and, when appropriate, records a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive the new cost basis, which takes into account the Company’s sales forecast and corresponding expiry dates. The Company has not recognized a provision for obsolete and excess inventory as of December 31, 2023. On July 21, 2023, the Company received FDA approval for YCANTH (VP-102) for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum and began capitalizing inventory purchases of saleable product from certain suppliers. Prior to FDA approval, all product purchased from such suppliers was included as a component of research and development expense, as the Company was unable to assert that the inventory had future economic benefit until YCANTH (VP-102) received FDA approval. Pursuant to the supply agreement (Note 7), the Company purchased and included in research and development expenses approximately $ 4.5 million of raw cantharidin and processed active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API"). The raw cantharidin and processed API is sufficient to produce approximately 14 million finished drug product applicators to be used for commercially saleable product and other product candidates. In addition, the Company purchased other components and services related to YCANTH (VP-102) for commercially saleable product and included approximately $ 1.2 million in research and development expenses prior to FDA approval. As a result, cost of product revenue related to YCANTH (VP-102) will initially reflect a lower average per unit cost of materials over approximately the next six months as previously expensed inventory is utilized for commercial production and sold to customers. If the Company were to have included those costs previously expensed as a component of cost of product revenue, the Company’s cost of product revenue for twelve months ended December 31, 2023 would have been $ 0.5 million. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipmen t Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the expected useful lives of the assets, after the assets are placed in service. Expenditures associated with upgrades and enhancements that improve, add functionality, or otherwise extend the life of property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures that do not, such as repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized if the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. Fair value is generally determined using discounted cash flows. The Company recognized a $ 2.6 million impairment loss on disposal of the assembly and packaging line during the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 3). No impairment losses were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 . The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment: Description Useful lives Machinery and equipment 3 - 5 years Office furniture and fixtures and equipment 3 year s Leasehold improvements Lease Term Automobiles 3 years |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Loan Facility (Note 11) are amortized to interest expense over the term of the financing arrangement using the effective-interest method. Debt issuance costs, net of related amortization are deducted from the carrying value of the related debt. |
Revenue | Revenue Product Revenue, Net The Company recognizes revenue from sales of a single product, YCANTH (the “Product”) in accordance with ASC Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. YCANTH (VP-102) became available for commercial sale and shipment to patients with a prescription in the United States in the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company sells the Product to one customer, a pharmaceutical wholesaler/distributor (the “Customer”) who in turn sells the Product directly to clinics, hospitals, and federal healthcare programs. Revenue is recognized as the Product is physically delivered to the Customer. Gross product sales are reduced by corresponding gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates using the expected value method, resulting in the Company’s reported “Product revenue, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Product revenue, net reflects the amount the Company ultimately expects to realize in net cash proceeds, taking into account the current period gross sales and related cash receipts and the subsequent cash disbursements on these sales that the Company estimates for the various GTN categories discussed below. The GTN estimates are based upon information received from external sources, such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and sales to end-users during the period, in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these estimates, the actual amount of product returns, government chargebacks, prompt pay discounts, commercial rebates, Medicaid rebates, co-pay assistance and distribution, data, and group purchasing organizations ("GPO") administrative fees may be materially above or below the amount estimated. Variance between actual amounts and estimated amounts may result in prospective adjustments to reported net product revenue. Each of the GTN estimate categories are discussed below: Product Returns Allowances : The Customer is contractually permitted to return purchased Product in certain circumstances. The Company estimates expected returns based on the Company’s review of similar products in the industry while also using the limited sales history. As historical data for returns of the Product becomes available over time, the Company will utilize historical return rates of the Product in making its estimates. Returned Product is typically destroyed, since substantially all returns are due to expiry and cannot be resold. Government Chargebacks : The Product is subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs, including Medicare and the 340B drug pricing program. Qualifying entities (the “End-Users”) purchase the Product from the Customer at their applicable qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount the Company incurs represents the difference between the Company’s contractual sales price to the Customer and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program. Medicaid Rebates: The Product is subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with the Product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for the Product under the applicable Medicaid program. The Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require the Company to project the magnitude of its sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates. Patient Assistance: The Company offers a voluntary co-pay patient assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to eligible patients with a prescription drug co-payment required by payors and coupon programs for cash payors. The calculation of the current liability for this assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that the Company expects to receive associated with YCANTH (VP-102) that has been recognized as revenue but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees: Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of the Company’s products for various commercial services including contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of the Company’s applicable sales. Collaboration Revenues The Company has generated collaboration revenue through its licensing and collaboration arrangements. The terms of the arrangements typically include payments to the Company of one or more of the following: nonrefundable, up-front license fees: regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for manufacturing supply services; materials shipped to support development; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company’s revenue arrangements may include the following: Up-front License Fees : If a license is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenues from nonrefundable, up-front fees allocated to the license when the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, up-front fees. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition. Milestone Payments: At the inception of an agreement that includes regulatory or commercial milestone payments, the Company evaluates whether each milestone is considered probable of being achieved and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Company or the licensee, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the probability of achievement of each milestone under its current agreements. Royalties: If the Company is entitled to receive sales-based royalties from its collaborator, including milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company recognizes revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, provided the reported sales are reliably measurable, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Manufacturing Supply and Research Services : Arrangements that include a promise for supply of drug substance or drug product for either clinical development or commercial supply at the licensee’s discretion are generally considered as options. The Company assesses if these options provide a material right to the licensee and if so, they are accounted for as separate performance obligations. If not, the supply services are recognized as collaboration revenue as the Company provides the services. The Company receives payments from its licensees based on schedules established in each contract. Amounts are recorded as accounts receivable when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. The Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is such that the period between payment by the licensees and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the licensees will be one year or less. See Note 13 for a full discussion of the Company’s collaboration arrangements. |
Cost of Product Revenue | Cost of Product Revenue Cost of product revenue includes the cost of inventory sold, which includes direct manufacturing, production and packaging materials for YCANTH (VP-102) sales. Prior to FDA approval in July 2023, the Company expensed approximately $ 0.2 million in costs associated with the manufacturing of YCANTH (VP-102) as a component of research and development expense. Therefore, these costs are not included in cost of product revenue. |
Advertising Expense | Advertising Expense Advertising expenses, comprised primarily of print and digital assets, social media and internet advertising as well as search engine marketing, are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. For the year end December 31, 2023 , advertising expenses were approximately $ 3.5 million. |
Research and Development Costs | Research and Development Costs The Company’s research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and equity-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. |
Share Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation –Stock Compensation . The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value its stock option awards. For stock-based awards granted to employees, non-employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option award and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. The use of the Black‑Scholes option-pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected term of the option, risk‑free interest rates, and, for grants prior to the Company’s IPO, the value of the common stock. The expected term of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The Company historically has been a private-company and lacked company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, prior to the year ended December 31, 2023, it estimated its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies in addition to the volatility of the Company's stock. For the year ended December 31, 2023, volatility is based solely on the Company's stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected term of the option. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does no t expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The fair value of restricted stock awards are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period including pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,064,814 shares of common stock that were issued in an underwritten offering in February 2023 (Note 8). The pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock are included in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share as the exercise price of $ 0.0001 per share is non-substantive and is virtually assured . Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and dilutive net loss per common share are the same. The table below provides potential shares outstanding that were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share, as the inclusion of these securities would have been anti-dilutive: As of December 31, 2023 2022 Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options 5,565,615 3,932,779 Non-vested shares under restricted stock grants 561,500 425,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants pursuant to debt financing 518,551 — Total 6,645,666 4,357,779 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. This standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. This standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The standard amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’t measured at fair value through net income. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction in carrying value of the asset. Entities will no longer be permitted to consider the length of time that fair value has been less than amortized cost when evaluating when credit losses should be recognized. This new guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures . |
