BACKGROUND: The topical phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast has been studied in several dermatologic conditions.

OBJECTIVE: Roflumilast foam 0.3% is being investigated as a topical 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 roflumilast foam 0.3% or vehicle foam for 8 weeks. The primary efficacy outcome was Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Success at week 8, defined as IGA of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) plus ≥2-point improvement from baseline. Safety was also assessed.

RESULTS: 79.5% of roflumilast-treated and 58.0% of vehicle-treated patients met the primary endpoint (P < .001); statistically significant differences in IGA Success also favored roflumilast at week 2 (roflumilast: 43.0%; vehicle: 25.7%; P < .001) and week 4 (roflumilast: 73.1%; vehicle: 47.1%; P < .001). Roflumilast was well-tolerated with a low rate of treatment-emergent adverse events.

LIMITATIONS: Study limitations include the 8-week treatment period for this chronic condition.

CONCLUSIONS: Once-daily roflumilast foam was superior to vehicle in leading to IGA of Clear or Almost Clear plus ≥2-point improvement from baseline at 8 weeks in patients with SD. Longer trials are needed to determine durability and safety of roflumilast foam in SD.
