Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has an integral role in maintaining skin homeostasis. Tapinarof cream 1% (VTAMA®) is an AhR agonist developed by Dermavant Sciences, an Organon Company, as a once-daily topical treatment for plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD). It was first approved in May 2022 in the USA for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. It was then approved in June 2024 in Japan for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults and AD in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. In December 2024, it was approved in the USA for the topical treatment of AD in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of tapinarof cream 1% leading to this first pediatric approval.
期刊介绍：
Pediatric Drugs promotes the optimization and advancement of all aspects of pharmacotherapy for healthcare professionals interested in pediatric drug therapy (including vaccines). The program of review and original research articles provides healthcare decision makers with clinically applicable knowledge on issues relevant to drug therapy in all areas of neonatology and the care of children and adolescents. The Journal includes:
-overviews of contentious or emerging issues.
-comprehensive narrative reviews of topics relating to the effective and safe management of drug therapy through all stages of pediatric development.
-practical reviews covering optimum drug management of specific clinical situations.
-systematic reviews that collate empirical evidence to answer a specific research question, using explicit, systematic methods as outlined by the PRISMA statement.
-Adis Drug Reviews of the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs in the pediatric population.
-original research articles reporting the results of well-designed studies with a strong link to clinical practice, such as clinical pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies, clinical trials, meta-analyses, outcomes research, and pharmacoeconomic and pharmacoepidemiological studies.
Additional digital features (including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations) can be published with articles; these are designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. In addition, articles published in Pediatric Drugs may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand important medical advances.
