Q

data in lactation (rats)

A

Roflumilast and/or its metabolites are excreted into the milk of lactating rats. When a drug is present in animal milk, it is likely that the drug will present in human milk. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, or from the underlying maternal condition

Q

clinical guidance on use in lactation

A

To minimize potential exposure to the breastfed infant via breastmilk, use ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, on the smallest area of the skin and for the shortest duration possible while breastfeeding. To avoid direct infant exposure, advise breastfeeding women not to apply ZORYVE foam, 0.3% directly to the nipple or areola. If applied to the patient’s chest, avoid exposure via direct contact with the infant’s skin

Q

MoA

A

Roflumilast and its active metabolite (roflumilast N-oxide) are inhibitors of PDE4. Roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide inhibition of PDE4 (a major cyclic 3’,5’-adenosine monophosphate [cyclic AMP] metabolizing enzyme) activity leads to accumulation of intracellular cyclic AMP. The specific mechanism(s) by which roflumilast exerts its therapeutic action is not well defined

24
Q

Pharmacodynamics

A

Pharmacodynamics of ZORYVE foam, 0.3% in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis is unknown

25
Q

PK: absorption

A

The PK of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, was investigated in 10 adult and 10 pediatric (11 to 16 years of age) patients with seborrheic dermatitis. In this study, a mean dose of approximately 4.1 g of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, was applied once daily for 15 days to a mean ± SD BSA involvement of 6.5 ± 1.08% and 5.5 ± 1.27% in adult and pediatric patients, respectively. Plasma concentrations of roflumilast were quantifiable in all but 2 patients at Day 15. Plasma concentrations of roflumilast N-oxide were quantifiable in all patients at Day 15.
Following application of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, the plasma concentration versus time profile was relatively flat, with mean peak-to-trough ratios of 1.68 and 1.62 for roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide, respectively

26
Q

PK: absorption (continued)

A
  1. In adults, the mean ± SD Cmax was 2.2 ± 1.6 and 13.8 ± 9.0 ng/mL for roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide metabolite, respectively. The mean systemic exposure (AUC0-24) was 36.6 ± 23.7 and 261 ± 190 h*ng/mL for roflumilast and the N-oxide metabolite, respectively
  2. In pediatric patients, the extrapolated mean ± AUC0-24 (based on pre-dose concentration) was 25.1 ± 30.2 and 253 ± 404 h*ng/mL for roflumilast and the N-oxide, respectively
27
Q

PK: distribution

A

Plasma protein binding of roflumilast and its N-oxide metabolite is approximately 99% and 97%, respectively

28
Q

PK: Elimination

A

The plasma clearance after short-term IV infusion of roflumilast is on average about 9.6 L/h. Following topical administration, the half-lives of roflumilast and the N-oxide metabolite were 4.0 and 4.6 days, respectively

29
Q

PK: metabolism

A

Roflumilast is extensively metabolized via Phase I (CYP450) and Phase II (conjugation) reactions. The N-oxide metabolite is the only major metabolite observed in the plasma of humans. Following oral administration, roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide account for the majority (87.5%) of the total dose administered in plasma. Roflumilast was not detectable in urine, while roflumilast N-oxide was only a trace metabolite (<1%). Other conjugated metabolites, such as roflumilast N-oxide glucuronide and 4-amino-3,5-dichloropyridine N-oxide were detected in urine

30
Q

PK: metabolism (continued)

A

While roflumilast is 3-times more potent than roflumilast N-oxide at inhibition of the PDE4 enzyme in vitro, the plasma AUC of roflumilast N-oxide on average is approximately 7-fold greater than the plasma AUC of roflumilast following topical administration. A similar ratio was observed following IV administration, whereas following oral administration the N-oxide metabolite circulated on average about 10-fold higher than the parent drug

31
Q

PK: specific populations

A

Following topical administration, no clinically significant differences in the PK of roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide were observed based on age (2 to 88 years), sex, race, or ethnicity

32
Q

PK: hepatic impairment

A

No studies were conducted with topical roflumilast in patients with hepatic impairment; however, oral roflumilast 250 mcg once daily for 14 days was studied in patients with mild-to-moderate hepatic impairment classified as Child-Pugh A and B (8 patients in each group)
The AUC of roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide were increased by 51% and 24%, respectively, in Child-Pugh A patients and 92% and 41%, respectively in Child-Pugh B patient, as compared to age-, weight-, and gender-matched healthy participants
The Cmax of roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide were increased by 3% and 26%, respectively, in Child-Pugh A patients and by 26% and 40%, respectively, in Child-Pugh B patients, as compared to healthy participants

33
Q

PK: renal impairment

A

Patients with Renal Impairment: No studies were conducted with topical roflumilast in patients with renal impairment. Following oral administration in 12 patients with severe renal impairment, no clinically significant differences in the PK of roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide were observed

34
Q

Since a major step in roflumilast metabolism is the N-oxidation of roflumilast to roflumilast N-oxide by CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, drug interaction studies were performed with oral roflumilast and systemic inhibitors of CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, including

A

erythromycin, ketoconazole, fluvoxamine, enoxacin, cimedtidine

35
Q

cimetidine use

A

heartburn, stomach ulcers, reflux disease

36
Q

enoxacin use

A

treatment of gonorrhea, cystitis, complicated urinary-tract infections, and skin and skin structure infections

37
Q

fluvoxamine use

A

treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and is used for other conditions, including depression.

38
Q

ketoconazole use

A

Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis; ringworm of the foot);
Ringworm of the body (tinea corporis);
Ringworm of the groin (tinea cruris; jock itch);
Seborrheic dermatitis;
“Sun fungus” (tinea versicolor; pityriasis versicolor); and.
Yeast infection of the skin (cutaneous candidiasis).

39
Q

erythromycin use

A

Erythromycin is used to prevent and treat infections in many different parts of the body, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, diphtheria, intestinal amebiasis, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, Legionnaire’s disease, pertussis, and syphilis.

40
Q

DI: erythromycin

A

in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy participants, the coadministration of CYP3A4 inhibitor erythromycin (500 mg TID for 13 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in 40% and 70% increase in Cmax and AUC for roflumilast, respectively, and a 34% decrease and a 4% increase in Cmax and AUC for roflumilast N-oxide, respectively

41
Q

DI: ketoconazole

A

in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy participants, the coadministration of a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole (200 mg BID for 13 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in 23% and 99% increase in Cmax and AUC for roflumilast, respectively, and a 38% reduction and 3% increase in Cmax and AUC for roflumilast N-oxide, respectively

42
Q

DI: fluvoxamine

A

in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy participants, the coadministration of dual CYP3A4/1A2 inhibitor fluvoxamine (50 mg QD for 14 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast showed a 12% and 156% increase in roflumilast Cmax and AUC along with a 210% decrease and 52% increase in roflumilast N-oxide Cmax and AUC, respectively

43
Q

DI: enoxacin

A

in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy participants, the coadministration of dual CYP3A4/1A2 inhibitor enoxacin (400 mg BID for 12 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in an increased Cmax and AUC of roflumilast by 20% and 56%, respectively. Roflumilast N-oxide Cmax was decreased by 14% while AUC increased by 23%

44
Q

DI: cimetidine

A

: in an open-label crossover study in 16 healthy participants, the coadministration of a dual CYP3A4/1A2 inhibitor cimetidine (400 mg BID for 7 days) with a single oral dose of 500 mcg roflumilast resulted in a 46% and 85% increase in roflumilast Cmax and AUC; and a 4% decrease in Cmax and 27% increase in AUC for roflumilast N-oxide, respectively

45
Q

in vitro studies: CYP enzymes

A

in vitro studies suggest that the biotransformation of roflumilast to its N-oxide metabolite is mediated by CYP1A2 and 3A4. Based on further invitro results in human liver microsomes, roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide in therapeutic plasma concentrations do not inhibit CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 2E1, 3A4/5, or 4A9/11; therefore, there is a low probability of relevant interactions with substances metabolized by these P450 enzymes. In addition in vitro studies demonstrated no induction of CYP1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4/5 and only weak induction of CYP2B6 by roflumilast

46
Q

long-term carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, and fertility impairment

A

Long-term studies were conducted in hamsters and mice with roflumilast to evaluate its carcinogenic potential. In 2-year oral gavage carcinogenicity studies, roflumilast treatment resulted in dose-related, statistically significant increases in the incidence of undifferentiated carcinomas of the nasal epithelium in hamsters at doses ≥8 mg/kg/day (20-times the MRHD on an AUC basis). The tumorigenicity of roflumilast appears to be attributed to a reactive metabolite of 4-amino-3,5-dichloropyridine N-oxide (ADCP N-oxide). No evidence of tumorigenicity was observed in mice at roflumilast oral doses up to 12 and 18 mg/kg/day in females and males, respectively (18- and 27-times the MRHD, respectively, on an AUC basis)

47
Q

semen and reproductive hormone changes

A

In a human spermatogenesis study, oral roflumilast 500 mcg had no effects on semen parameters or reproductive hormones during the 3-month treatment period and the following 3-month off-treatment period

48
Q

clinical studies

A

Two randomized, DB, vehicle-controlled trials (STRATUM [NCT04973228] and Trial 203 [NCT04091646]) enrolled a total of 683 adult and pediatric patients with seborrheic dermatitis involving the scalp, face, and/or body with an IGA of moderate or severe (IGA of 3 or 4 on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4)
