About Atopic Dermatitis
AD is the most common type of eczema, affecting approximately 9.6 million children and 16.5 million adults in the United States.

AD is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory skin disease that is genetically pre-disposed and presents across the lifespan. The disease appears as a red, intensely itchy rash that can occur anywhere on the body and may present differently in children and adults. AD presentation can rapidly fluctuate and vary based on geographic location and environment.

About ZORYVE^®
ZORYVE is a steroid-free topical PDE4 inhibitor approved to treat AD, seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis. PDE4 — an established target in dermatology — is an intracellular enzyme that increases the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and decreases production of anti-inflammatory mediators.

ZORYVE (roflumilast) cream 0.15% is approved by the FDA for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in individuals 6 years of age and older and ZORVYE cream 0.3% for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in individuals 6 years of age and older. Another formulation, ZORYVE foam 0.3%, is available for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in adults and children ages 9 and older.

Roflumilast cream for AD is currently being evaluated at a lower dose of 0.05% for children aged 2 to 5 years. In addition, Arcutis has completed its clinical development program for ZORYVE foam 0.3% for the treatment of scalp and body psoriasis and intends to submit an sNDA in the third quarter of 2024.
