  Content	WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Oct. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Arcutis Canada, Inc. has received regulatory approval from Health Canada for ZORYVE (roflumilast) topical foam 0.3% for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in patients 9 years of age and older. The full Canadian product monograph for ZORYVE is available here Over 2 million Canadians are impacted by seborrheic dermatitis, a common, recurrent inflammatory skin condition. ZORYVE foam 0.3% is the first topical treatment for seborrheic dermatitis with a novel mechanism of action approved in Canada in over 20 years. “ZORYVE foam has made a meaningful impact on the lives of individuals living with seborrheic dermatitis since launching in the United States at the beginning of this year, with rapid adoption by both clinicians and patients. We are proud to bring this safe, effective, and well-tolerated steroid-free foam to Canada, as there has been a lack of innovation for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis for decades,” said Frank Watanabe, president and CEO of Arcutis. “We would like to thank the Canadian investigators and patients who participated in our ZORYVE clinical trials and who played a critical role in bringing this potential best-in-class topical treatment to the United States and Canada markets.” “For individuals living with this chronic, inflammatory skin condition, seborrheic dermatitis can have a profound impact on quality of life. The face and scalp are often red and scaly, which may result in social distancing and consequently affects emotional and psychological wellbeing. Itch, commonly associated with seborrheic dermatitis, may not be apparent through the day but will impair sleep resulting in sleep deprivation. Until today, we lacked the ability to offer effective and safe treatments that are formulated to be both well-tolerated and suitable for once-daily simple application,” said Kim A. Papp, MD, PhD, of Probity Medical Research and K. Papp Clinical Research Inc., and an investigator for the ZORYVE foam clinical trials. “In the STRATUM trial, approximately 80% of patients achieved treatment success at Week 8 with ZORYVE foam, with disease clearance as early as Week 2, and significant itch relief in as little as 48 hours. Importantly, ZORYVE foam is formulated to deliver the drug without disrupting the skin barrier.” The approval of ZORYVE foam 0.3% for seborrheic dermatitis in Canada was supported by positive results from a vehicle-controlled pivotal Phase 3 study (STRATUM), as well as a Phase 2 study, a long-term open-label extension study, and a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study. About ZORYVE Foam Arcutis has developed both topical cream and foam formulations of roflumilast, a highly potent and selective phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor being investigated as a once-daily, nonsteroidal, topical treatment for multiple dermatologic conditions. 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. The approval of ZORYVE foam by Health Canada marks the second approval for Canada of the ZORYVE portfolio. Roflumilast cream 0.3% ( Pr ZORYVE ® ) is approved in Canada for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis, including intertriginous areas, in patients 12 years of age and older.
