atopic dermatitis medical

"individuals living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis"

A chronic inflammatory skin condition, often called eczema, that causes dry, itchy, red patches and recurring flare-ups; think of it as a persistent rash that can come and go over a person’s life. It matters to investors because its chronic nature and large patient population create steady demand for treatments, influence drug development and approval decisions, affect healthcare costs and reimbursement, and can drive revenue and valuation shifts for companies working on therapies and diagnostics.

seborrheic dermatitis medical

"living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis"

Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, chronic skin condition that causes red, flaky, itchy patches where oil-producing glands are concentrated, such as the scalp, face and chest. Investors care because it creates steady demand for over-the-counter and prescription treatments, influences clinical trial and regulatory risk for new therapies, and can affect sales, reimbursement and market share in dermatology—think of it as a recurring household problem that sustains a health-care product market.

plaque psoriasis medical

"living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis"

A chronic autoimmune skin condition that causes raised, red, scaly patches where the skin sheds too quickly, like a tree producing bark in clumps instead of renewing smoothly. It matters to investors because prevalence, severity, and treatment options drive demand for therapies, shape clinical trial design and regulatory review, and affect potential market size, pricing and reimbursement for drugs or devices aimed at relieving symptoms or altering the underlying immune response.

board-certified dermatologists medical

"connect with independent, board-certified dermatologists and access care through a streamlined digital experience"

Board-certified dermatologists are medical doctors who have completed specialized training in skin conditions and passed a formal national certification process demonstrating their expertise. For investors, their involvement or endorsement is like a trusted stamp from a seasoned specialist — it increases confidence in product claims, clinical results and regulatory compliance, can reduce reputational and legal risk, and may influence market acceptance and sales.

roflumilast medical

"access pathways to its ZORYVE® (roflumilast) portfolio for chronic inflammatory skin diseases"

Roflumilast is an oral anti-inflammatory medication that helps reduce lung inflammation and flare-ups in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); it works by blocking a specific enzyme involved in the inflammatory process. For investors, roflumilast matters because its clinical effectiveness, safety profile, regulatory approvals, patent status and market uptake directly affect sales potential, licensing or partnership value, and the financial prospects of companies developing or marketing respiratory therapies—think of it as a product whose real-world performance determines commercial returns.

• Virtual health platform offers an additional pathway to care for the more than 45 million people in the U.S. living with eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis
• Connects eligible individuals with independent, board-certified dermatologists through a streamlined digital experience for evaluation and to discuss potential treatment options

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced the launch of a new virtual health platform designed to expand access pathways to its ZORYVE^® (roflumilast) portfolio for chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

The virtual health platform provides individuals living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis with an additional pathway to connect with independent, board-certified dermatologists and access care through a streamlined digital experience. The offering is intended to complement traditional in-office dermatology specialist care with a convenient, alternative pathway to a dermatologist for those who have yet to see a dermatologist or who struggle with obtaining timely dermatology care. Designed to help improve access to dermatologists and broaden access, where appropriate, to ZORYVE for approved indications, the platform connects individuals with independent dermatologists after completing a brief clinical intake.

“At Arcutis, we believe meaningful innovation should not be focused solely on new treatments, but should extend to all aspects of dermatology care, including access to dermatologists,” said Todd Edwards, chief commercial officer of Arcutis. “We recognize that individuals living with chronic inflammatory skin diseases have different preferences for how and when they engage with providers, and many patients struggle to obtain in-person dermatology care. Our virtual health platform is designed to complement traditional care settings by helping reduce barriers to specialist treatment and supporting individuals who may otherwise forego or face delays in seeing a dermatologist. By providing an additional option for individuals to connect with an independent dermatologist, we can help individuals access timely care and determine whether ZORYVE may be right for them.”

Board-certified, independent dermatologists participating in the platform evaluate, diagnose, and determine appropriate treatment for each individual based on their clinical judgment. Arcutis does not influence clinical decision-making, diagnoses, or prescribing decisions made through the platform. If prescribed, ZORYVE prescriptions are coordinated through a national pharmacy hub designed to support a seamless experience, including insurance support and home delivery, or prescriptions can be sent directly to an individual’s preferred pharmacy.

Today, many individuals are seeking more convenient, flexible ways to engage with care. Virtual health helps address common barriers such as long wait times for dermatology appointments, geographic limitations, and scheduling challenges, while providing an additional pathway for individuals who might otherwise delay or forgo specialized treatment. The platform is designed to complement — not replace — traditional in-office dermatology care. The launch of Arcutis’ virtual health platform reflects the company’s broader commitment to improving access to care and treatment for individuals living with chronic inflammatory skin diseases, helping more individuals access the therapies they need while continuing to engage healthcare providers across dermatology, primary care, and pediatric settings.

About ZORYVE^® (roflumilast)

ZORYVE is the number one prescribed branded topical therapy across three major inflammatory dermatoses combined — atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis. ZORYVE is a topical formulation of roflumilast, an advanced targeted topical phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitor. Inhibiting PDE4, an intracellular enzyme that is an established target in dermatology, decreases the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. This decreases inflammation in the skin and balances the skin’s immune system.

Demonstrating both clinical impact and broad industry recognition, ZORYVE has been honored with multiple prestigious awards and recommendations. ZORYVE was awarded by Allure with the "2025 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award," making it the first FDA-approved medication for atopic dermatitis, plaque psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis to win this prominent award. ZORYVE cream 0.3% and ZORYVE foam 0.3% were also awarded the National Psoriasis Foundation’s Seal of Recognition — the first FDA-approved prescription brand to receive the honor. Additionally, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) issued a strong recommendation for the use of ZORYVE cream 0.15% in adults with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, according to updated guidelines released in June 2025, as well as a strong recommendation for the use of ZORYVE cream 0.05% for children aged 2-5 years and ZORYVE cream 0.15% for children aged 6 years and older with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis from the AAD’s first-ever pediatric atopic dermatitis guidelines published in April 2026. In 2024, ZORYVE cream 0.15% was awarded Glamour’s Beauty and Wellness Award for “Best Eczema Product.”
