Once-Daily Roflumilast Cream Shows Promising for Atopic Dermatitis: JAMA

Once-Daily Roflumilast Cream Shows Promising for Atopic Dermatitis: JAMA

A 0.15% once-daily roflumilast cream improved symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) across multiple endpoints, according to investigators of phase 3 studies. Researchers suggest that roflumilast may enhance treatment adherence, particularly in patients who struggle with continuing recommended therapies. Findings from two multicenter phase 3 studies have been published in JAMA Dermatology. The study was conducted by Eric L. and colleagues.

To address this, two phase 3 clinical trials, INTEGUMENT-1 and INTEGUMENT-2, were conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of roflumilast cream in children and adults with mild to moderate AD. The participants were aged 6 years and older with mild to moderate AD, as assessed on a scale of 0 (clear) to 4 for the Validated Investigator Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (VIGA-AD). Participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to either receive roflumilast cream, 0.15%, or vehicle cream once daily for four weeks.

The primary efficacy outcomes were VIGA-AD success at week 4, which was a score of 0 or 1 with at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline. Secondary outcomes were at least a 75% reduction in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) and improvements in the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale. Safety, local tolerability, and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were also measured.

Key Findings

There were 1,337 patients who enrolled in total: 654 in INTEGUMENT-1 and 683 in INTEGUMENT-2. The age was a mean of 27.7 years (SD, 19.2); 56.9% were female. The BSA affected was a mean of 13.6% (SD, 11.6%; 3.0%-88.0%).

• INTEGUMENT-1 RoJamie was significantly better than vehicle regarding the proportion of patients achieving VIGA-AD success by determining 32.0% with roflumilast vs. 15.2% with vehicle (p<0 .001).

• INTEGUMENT-2 was 28.9% vs. 12.0% with vehicle (p<0.001).

EASI-75 Response at Week 4:

• INTEGUMENT-1: 43.2% of roflumilast-treated patients reached EASI-75 compared to 22.0% of vehicle-treated patients (p<0.001).

• INTEGUMENT-2: 42.0% vs. 19.7%, respectively (p<0.001).

Safety and Tolerability:

• Roflumilast was generally well tolerated with low rates of TEAEs.

• At all time points, ≥95% of patients receiving roflumilast were free of signs of irritation at the application site.

• 90% of roflumilast-treated patients were free of or had mild sensation at the application site.

The phase 3 trials showed that once-daily roflumilast cream, 0.15%, is effective for improving AD symptoms with a good safety profile. These results open the possibility for using this cream as an effective topical treatment option for mild to moderate AD in pediatric and adult patients.
