First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tested a medicated foam called ARQ-154 (roflumilast) in 22 children aged 2 to 12 with scalp and body psoriasis. The goal was to see how much of the drug enters the bloodstream and whether it is safe. Researchers monitored side effects and skin reactions over two weeks.

Active substance

Roflumilast foam 0.3%

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new topical treatment option for children with psoriasis, potentially easing symptoms like scaling and itching.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 22 children, so it is mainly checking safety and drug levels, not whether it works well. Side effects or lack of effectiveness may still arise.
