Review, Journal: Difamilast for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 4, 2023 In 2021, difamilast was the first phosphodiesterase 4inhibitor to acquire manufacturing and marketing approval in Japan for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients (2 years of age and older) with AD. This article is a narrative review of the current literature on difamilast in the management of AD.

Journal: Pharmacological Profile of Difamilast, a Novel Selective Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitor, for the Topical Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 19, 2023 Significance Statement This is the first report on the nonclinical pharmacological profile of difamilast ointment, a novel topical PDE4 inhibitor that demonstrated utility in clinical trials in patients with atopic dermatitis. Difamilast, which has high PDE4 selectivity (especially for the PDE4B subtype), ameliorated chronic allergic contact dermatitis in mice after topical application, with a pharmacokinetic profile in animals that suggests few systemic side effects; thus, difamilast is a promising new therapeutic treatment for atopic dermatitis.

These findings may provide further guidance for therapeutic strategies in the treatment of AD using difamilast. These new drugs (systemic and topical) are needed to increase the success of AD treatment, particularly for patients who do not or no longer respond to treatment.

Journal: What's New in Topicals for Atopic Dermatitis? (Pubmed Central) - Sep 14, 2022 We also review novel targeted therapies that are in early phase clinical trials, including AMTX-100, BEN-2293, and PRN473. Preliminary findings on efficacy and tolerability of most of these agents are promising, but further studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of these novel agents against the current standard of care.

Review, Journal: New Topical Therapies in Development for Atopic Dermatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 23, 2022 The available data seems promising, with some drugs already approved (ruxolitinib being the most recent), and several are in an advanced stage of development and will soon be available for treatment of mild to moderate disease, namely tapinarof, difamilast, and roflumilast. However, longer and larger prospective studies are needed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of these new compounds and evaluate their benefits over current treatments.

This study demonstrates that difamilast ointments are well tolerated and effective in Japanese adult and pediatric patients with AD when applied twice daily for 52 weeks, and are expected to be used for a long-term treatment for AD.

Clinical, P2 data, Journal: Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 4-week study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of OPA- 15406 (difamilast), a new topical selective phosphodiesterase type-4 inhibitor, in Japanese pediatric patients aged 2-14 years with atopic dermatitis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 27, 2020 The OPA-15406 groups also showed greater improvements from baseline compared with the vehicle group in the Investigator Global Assessment score, Eczema Area and Severity Index overall score and subscale (erythema, induration/papulation, excoriation and lichenification) scores, Visual Analog Scale pruritus score, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure score, and percentage of affected body surface area over the 4-week study. Topical OPA-15406 twice daily for 4 weeks was considered a safe and effective treatment option in this phase 2 study in pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis, and phase 3 development is currently ongoing.
