Background The topical phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast has been studied in several dermatologic conditions. Objective Roflumilast foam 0.3% is being investigated as a treatment for seborrheic dermatitis (SD). Methods In this phase 3, double-blinded trial, patients with SD were randomly assigned (2:1 ratio) to once-daily or vehicle 8 weeks. primary efficacy outcome was Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Success at week 8, defined IGA of 0 (Clear) 1 (Almost Clear) plus ≥2-point...
Current topical treatment options for seborrheic dermatitis are limited by efficacy and/or safety.To assess safety and of roflumilast foam, 0.3%, in adult patients with affecting the scalp, face, trunk.This multicenter (24 sites US Canada) phase 2a, parallel group, double-blind, vehicle-controlled clinical trial was conducted between November 12, 2019, August 21, 2020. Participants were (aged ≥18 years) a diagnosis 3-month or longer duration Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score 3...
Abstract Background RPT193 is an orally administered small molecule antagonist of the human C‐C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) that inhibits migration and downstream activation T‐helper Type 2 (Th2) cells. We investigated single‐ multiple‐ascending doses in healthy subjects, multiple subjects with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods This was a first‐in‐human randomized, placebo‐controlled Phase 1a/1b monotherapy study (NCT04271514) to evaluate safety, tolerability,...
Abstract Tirbanibulin ointment 1% is approved in the United States and Europe for treatment of actinic keratosis with demonstrated efficacy, safety, tolerability when applied over a field up to 25 cm 2 . This Phase 1 maximal‐use trial determines plasma pharmacokinetics, tirbanibulin 100 face or balding scalp adults keratosis. Twenty‐eight patients self‐applied once daily single 5‐day course. On Day 5, mean maximum concentration was 1.06 ng/mL area under concentration‐time curve during dosing...
A small-molecule injectable drug, CBL-514, has shown promising efficacy and safety for subcutaneous fat reduction. To further evaluate the of CBL-514 abdominal In this single-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial, 76 participants were randomized (2:1) to receive up four treatments (2mg/cm², maximum 600mg/treatment) or placebo, administered subcutaneously abdomen every 4 weeks. Two follow-up visits conducted at 8 weeks post-final treatment. Changes in thickness...
Tapinarof is a novel topical therapeutic aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulating agent in development for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. This multicenter, open-label trial assessed safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy tapinarof cream 1% once daily (QD) under maximal use conditions extensive plaque psoriasis. Adults with baseline Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score ≥ 3 body surface area (BSA) involvement 20% received QD 29 days. Safety tolerability...
Scalp psoriasis affects most patients with psoriasis, but it can be difficult to treat.To evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-daily roflumilast foam 0.3% on scalp body psoriasis.In a phase IIb randomized controlled trial, adults adolescents aged ≥ 12 years were (2 : 1) or vehicle for 8 weeks. The primary endpoint was Investigator Global Assessment (S-IGA) success (score 'clear' 'almost clear' plus 2-grade improvement from baseline) at week 8. Safety tolerability also...
Current field-directed treatments of actinic keratosis (AK), a pre-malignant condition, are often limited by severe local reactions and/or complex treatment. Tirbanibulin, novel potent anti-proliferative synthetic agent that inhibits tubulin polymerization and Src kinase signalling, is being developed as convenient, safe, effective field treatment keratosis.A short course tirbanibulin ointment 1% safely reduces AK lesions.In the Phase 1 study, 4 cohorts with forearm lesions received over 25...
This phase 2a trial investigated the efficacy of NFX-179 Topical Gel, a metabolically labile MEK inhibitor, in treatment cutaneous neurofibromas (cNFs) neurofibromatosis type 1. Forty-eight participants were randomized to four arms: Gel 0.05%, 0.15%, and 0.5% or vehicle applied once daily five target cNFs for 28 days. Treatment with resulted dose-dependent reduction p-ERK levels at day 28, 47% decrease group compared (
With a paucity of literature on professional organization membership by nurse practitioners (NPs), the authors base discussion personal benefits associated with focusing clinicians other than NPs and their experiences as members multiple organizations. Membership is described related to NP socialization, engagement, networking, mentorship, advocacy, policy, leadership development, research dissemination, volunteerism. In addition encouraging active participation in one or more organizations,...
BACKGROUND Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is a common benign skin tumor, yet no topical treatments are approved in the United States. OBJECTIVE To evaluate proprietary, stabilized, high-concentration hydrogen peroxide–based solution A-101 (32.5% and 40% concentrations) for treatment of facial SK lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this multicenter, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study, eligible subjects were randomly assigned to receive up 2 40%, 32.5%, or vehicle applied single lesion. The...
Topical antifungals may be considered to treat onychomycosis with minimal risk of systemic side effects. In this study, we assess the safety, tolerability, exposure, and pharmacokinetic characteristics topical terbinafine hydrochloride 10% solution (MOB015B) in adults moderate-to-severe onychomycosis. Clinically mycologically confirmed patients toenail (
Hyperhidrosis is a common medical condition which can have significant impact on quality of life. Umeclidinium (UMEC) long-acting muscarinic antagonist (LAMA) developed as dermal formulation.This 2-week, double-blind, randomized, vehicle-controlled study evaluated systemic exposure, safety and tolerability topically administered UMEC in subjects with primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Clinical effect was secondary objective, measured by gravimetry the hyperhidrosis disease severity scale...
