Topical Roflumilast Cream

(ARQ-151)

How it Works

Topical roflumilast cream (ARQ-151) is a topical formulation of roflumilast, an advanced targeted topical phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitor. Inhibiting PDE4, an intracellular enzyme that is an established target in dermatology, decreases the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. This decreases inflammation in the skin and balances the skin’s immune system.

Topical roflumilast cream is a highly potent, selective PDE4 inhibitor in a convenient, once-daily formulation that Arcutis is studying in a range of inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis and plaque psoriasis.

Based on in vitro data only. The specific mechanism by which exerts its therapeutic action is not well defined.

Arcutis is investigating roflumilast cream 0.05% for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in infants aged 3 months to less than 24 months.

We have completed enrollment of the INTEGUMENT-INFANT Phase 2 open-label clinical study and submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for investigational roflumilast cream 0.05%.
