New foam could tame stubborn scalp and face rash

NCT ID NCT07683806

First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests whether a once-daily foam containing roflumilast can treat seborrheic dermatitis, a common skin condition causing red, flaky patches on the scalp, face, and trunk. About 300 people ages 9 and older with moderate to severe disease will apply either the active foam or a placebo foam for 8 weeks. The main goal is to see if the rash clears or nearly clears, with a secondary focus on reducing itch.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
roflumilast foam 0.3%
What this could lead to
If successful, this foam could offer a new, once-daily treatment option for seborrheic dermatitis, potentially clearing or nearly clearing the rash and reducing itch.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 3 trial, but results may not confirm benefit over placebo. Side effects from the foam are possible, and it may not work for everyone.
