- Dermavant plans to initiate Phase 3 clinical program evaluating tapinarof for the treatment of psoriasis in the first half of 2019
BASEL, Switzerland and PHOENIX, Feb. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dermavant Sciences, a dermatology-focused subsidiary of Roivant Sciences, today announced that the company will present data on tapinarof at the 2019 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting taking place March 1-5, 2019, in Washington, D.C.
Dermavant will present secondary efficacy outcomes from a Phase 2b study of tapinarof for the treatment of psoriasis and secondary outcomes from a Phase 2b study of tapinarof for the treatment of atopic dermatitis both in poster format and oral presentations.
Dermavant is developing its lead product candidate, tapinarof, as a potentially first-in-class therapeutic aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulating agent (TAMA) topical cream for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, which affect approximately 7.5 million and 28 million people in the United States, respectively. Dermavant believes that tapinarof, if approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, could provide an innovative topical treatment option for those inflammatory skin diseases. The company plans to initiate its Phase 3 clinical program evaluating tapinarof for the treatment of psoriasis in the first half of 2019.
