Molluscum & Zelsuvmi Overview
Molluscum Contagiosum A highly infectious viral condition primarily affecting children 1 year of age or older Point prevalence of 3-6 million children (ages 0-16) in the U.S. Molluscum Contagiosum is caused by a pox virus and is characterized by small, round, firm, umbilicated, often painless bumps. Even after healing, reinfection is possible if in contact with an infected person or object4. ~17 million people infected in the U.S. There are four known types of MC virus (MCV1, 2, 3, 4) with MCV1 being the most common1 MC can take up to five years to resolve without treatment2 Peak incidence between 1-10 years of age. Up to 73% of children go untreated3 Untreated Molluscum Contagiosum Has Severe Effects Infection, Persistence, and Spread Autoinoculation2 Highly contagious to others Pain & Skin Irritation ↑ risk of secondary bacterial infections2 Potential worsening of atopic dermatitis Itching, redness Visible and Psychological Impacts Inflammation Anxiety Social withdrawal 1) Hebert AA, Bhatia N, Del Rosso JQ.

Zelsuvmi Has the Potential to Shift MC Treatment Paradigm Current Options Zelsuvmi • Other available topical treatment requires in-office visits every 3 weeks2 • Painful, destructive treatments3 • Necessitates travel to HCP offices, adding to the time burden for MC patients and caregivers2 • Remaining treatment options such as off-label drugs / natural remedies have unproven efficacy4 • Daily application that can be started immediately Breakthrough Product, Breakthrough Results 58.1% Mean MC Lesion reduction count(1) • Attractive safety profile demonstrated in clinical trials with no / minimal scarring5,6 • First FDA approved medication for molluscum that can be applied at home by patients or caregivers5 • Demonstrated, proven efficacy across key primary and secondary endpoints in clinical trials6 1.)Least-squares mean coun t reduction.
