About this study

ARQ-154-127 is a Phase 1, open-label, single arm, maximum usage pharmacokinetic and safety study of roflumilast foam 0.3% in participants with scalp and body psoriasis.

The goal of the study is to:

  • Evaluate the systemic exposure and characterize the plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ARQ-154 foam 0.3%.
  • Assess the safety and tolerability of ARQ-154 foam 0.3%

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Males and females, ages 2 years to < 12 years old at Day 1.
  • Clinical diagnosis of psoriasis vulgaris of at least 2 months duration at Screening as determined by the Investigator.
  • Scalp psoriasis with an Investigator Global Assessment (S-IGA) of scalp disease severity of at least Moderate ('3') at Day 1.
  • An IGA of body (non-scalp) psoriasis (B-IGA) of at least Mild ('2') at Day 1.
  • Extent of scalp psoriasis involving ≥ 10% of the total scalp at Day 1.
  • Body psoriasis (non-scalp) involving at least 3% BSA on Day 1.

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants who cannot discontinue medications and treatments prior to Day 1 (first application of IP).
  • Current diagnosis of non-plaque forms of psoriasis. Current diagnosis of drug-induced psoriasis.
  • Participants who have significant active systemic or localized infection or have had any infection that required oral or intravenous administration of antibiotics, antifungal or antiviral agents within 7 days prior to Day 1.
  • Participants with skin conditions other than psoriasis vulgaris that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of the study medication, as determined by the Investigator.
  • Participants who cannot discontinue the use of strong cytochrome P-450 CYP3A4 inhibitors for 2 weeks prior to Day 1 and during the study period.
  • A medical history of severe renal insufficiency, moderate to severe hepatic disorders (e.g., Child-Pugh B or C), or chronic infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]).
  • Participants who are family members of the clinical study staff or sponsor.

Treatment and study plan

ARQ-154 Foam 0.3%

Drug

ARQ-154 Foam 0.3%

Primary outcomes

  1. Concentration of Roflumilast and Roflumilast N-Oxide from plasma

    Time frame: 2 Weeks

    Assessment of steady-state trough plasma concentrations after 2 weeks of study drug administration.

  2. Participant incidence of adverse events

    Time frame: 6 Weeks

    Number of participants with adverse events during treatment will be assessed

  3. Incidence of application site reactions

    Time frame: 6 Weeks

    Number of participants that experience an application site skin reaction by investigator assessment and participant assessment will be assessed

  4. The incidence of changes from Baseline in the total Children's Depression Inventory 2 (CDI-2)score.

    Time frame: 6 Weeks

    The CDI-2 is an assessment instrument used to evaluate the severity of depressive symptoms in children.
