The primary objective of the study is to determine the presence or absence of systemic cantharidin exposure from a single 24-hour dermal application of VP-102 topical film-forming solution \[0.7% (w/v) cantharidin\] (VP-102) when applied to molluscum contagiosum (molluscum) lesions on pediatric subjects 2 years old and older. Treatment will continue over the course of 3 additional 21 day intervals allowing for further evaluation of safety, efficacy and impact on quality of life.
This is a Phase 2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy and Systemic Exposure of VP-102 Topical Film Forming Solution \[0.7% (w/v) cantharidin\] in subjects 2 years and older with Molluscum Contagiosum. Up to 40 subjects will be enrolled in the study with the goal of 16 meeting criteria for, and completing all scheduled blood draws outlined in the exposure portion of the trial. Subjects that do not have enough molluscum lesions to participate in the exposure study but do meet all other criteria to participate in the study will be enrolled in the standard treatment group. No more than 16 subjects will complete exposure group activities; up to 16 subjects will be enrolled in the standard treatment group. The additional 8 subjects may be used for replacement patients. At least 3 patients in the exposure group will be from 2-5 years of age. All subjects will receive VP-102 containing 0.7% cantharidin to molluscum lesions every 21 days for a maximum of 4 sessions or until complete clearance. In the exposure group, blood samples for systemic exposure evaluation will be collected on Day 1, prior to the drug application, and 2 (± 30 minutes), 6 (± 1 hour) and 24 (±3 hours) hours post-application. A dermatological examination will be performed by a qualified investigator quantifying molluscum lesion counts at every study visit.

The Presence or Absence of Systemic Exposure to Cantharidin by the Collection and Analysis of Plasma Samples From Patients With 21 or More Molluscum Lesions Following Treatment of VP-102.
The primary objective is to determine any potential systemic exposure from a single 24-hour dermal application of VP-102 topical film-forming solution when applied to molluscum contagiosum (molluscum) lesions on pediatric subjects 2 years old and older.
Time frame: 24 hours
Measurement of Efficacy - Complete Clearance
Proportion of subjects exhibiting complete clearance of all treated molluscum lesions (baseline and new) on or before Week 12 (EOS).
Time frame: Baseline through EOS Day 84
