  • Results have not been presented; the trial is ongoing, with COVE-3 enrolling in the U.S. and Japan.
  • The program aims to support U.S. and Japan marketing filings; YCANTH could become the first approved U.S. treatment for common warts.
  • Phase 3 initiation followed earlier Phase 2 data that showed wart clearance in a meaningful share of treated patients, with expected local skin reactions.
  • Torii will split global Phase 3 costs 50/50, funding the first $40 million, about 90% of the current trial budget.
