NCT ID NCT06998056
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a cream called roflumilast (0.05%) applied once daily for 4 weeks in 101 infants aged 3 months to 2 years with mild-to-moderate eczema. The main goal was to see if the cream is safe and well-tolerated. Researchers tracked side effects, serious side effects, and skin reactions at the application site.
