Roflumilast (Zoryve)

Abstract

CADTH recommends that Zoryve be reimbursed by public drug plans for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, including treatment of psoriasis in the intertriginous areas, in patients 12 years of age and older if certain conditions are met. Zoryve should only be covered to treat patients who have a clinical diagnosis of plaque psoriasis with an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of at least 2 (mild) and an area of plaque psoriasis appropriate for topical treatment covering a body surface area of 2% to 20% (inclusive). Zoryve should be discontinued if a response has not been demonstrated by 8 weeks. A response to treatment is defined as at least a 2-grade improvement from baseline in IGA score or an IGA score of “clear” or “almost clear” (0 or 1). The cost of Zoryve should not exceed the drug program cost of treatment with the least costly topical therapy reimbursed for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.
