Foam Flashcards
Indications and usage
ZORYVE foam, 0.3% is indicated for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in adult and pediatric patients 9 years of age and older
Dosage and administration
- Shake can prior to use. Apply a thin layer of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, once daily to affected areas on skin and/or scalp when they are not wet. Rub in completely.
- Wash hands after application
- Avoid fire, flame, and smoking during and immediately following application
Dosage and strengths
Topical foam, 0.3%: 3 mg of roflumilast per gram of white to off-white foam in 60-gram pressurized cans
Contraindications
ZORYVE foam, 0.3% is contraindicated in patients with moderate-to-severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh B or C)
warnings and precautions
5.1 Flammability: The propellants in ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, are flammable. Avoid fire, flame, and smoking during and immediately following application
Most common ARs in ≥1% of patients with SD treated with foam 0.3% for 8 weeks
- Nasopharyngitis (1.5%)
- Nausea (1.3%)
- Headache (1.1%)
The following additional ARs were reported in fewer than 1% of patients with foam:
diarrhea, insomnia
in 408 patients who continued treatment with foam, for up to 24 to 52 weeks in an open-label, long-term trial, the AR profile was
consistent with that observed in vehicle-controlled trials
drug interactions
no drug interaction studies were conducted
drug reactions: the coadministration of rofl with ____ or _____ may increase rofl exposure and result in increased ARs.
CYP3A4 inhibitors, dual inhibitors of 3a4 and 1A2
data in pregnant women
There are insufficient data available on the use of ZORYVE foam, 0.3% in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes
data in pregnant rats and rabbits
- produced no fetal structural abnormalities at doses up to 30- and 26-times the MRHD, respectively
- Roflumilast induced post-implantation loss in rats at oral doses ≥10-times the MRHD
- Roflumilast induced stillbirth and decreased pup viability in mice at oral doses 16- and 49-times the MRHD, respectively
- Roflumilast has been shown to adversely affect pup postnatal development when dams were treated with oral dose 49-times the MRHD during pregnancy and lactation periods in mice
Data in labor and delivery
avoid using ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, during labor and delivery. There are no human studies that have investigated effects of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, on preterm labor or labor at term; however, animal studies showed that oral roflumilast disrupted the labor and delivery process in mice
data in lactation
There are no data on the presence of roflumilast or its metabolite in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production
data in lactation (rats)
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
clinical guidance on use in lactation
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
pediatric use?
- The safety and effectiveness of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis have been established in pediatric patients ≥9 years of age
- The safety and effectiveness of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, in pediatric patients below the age of 9 years have not been established
what data supports pediatric use?
Use of ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, in this age group is supported by data from two 8-week, vehicle-controlled trials which included 32 pediatric patients 9 to 17 years of age, of whom 17 received ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, and from open-label trials of up to 52 weeks which included 23 pediatric patients treated with ZORYVE foam, 0.3%
difference between adult and pediatric ARs
The adverse reaction profile was consistent with that observed in adults
geriatric use?
Of the 683 patients with seborrheic dermatitis exposed to ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, or vehicle for up to 8 weeks in the controlled clinical trials, 98 (14%) were ≥65 years of age. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity in some older individuals cannot be ruled out
hepatic impairment
Oral roflumilast 250 mcg once daily for 14 days was studied in patients with hepatic impairment. The systemic exposure of roflumilast and roflumilast N-oxide were increased in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) hepatic impairment. ZORYVE foam, 0.3%, is contraindicated in patients with moderate-to-severe liver impairment (Child-Pugh B or C)
dose adjustment for mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A)
No dosage adjustment is needed in patients with mild (Child-Pugh A) hepatic impairment
