Topical Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis: New and Investigational Agents.

Topical Therapy for Atopic Dermatitis: New and Investigational Agents. Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2016 Mar;35(3):S99-S102 Authors: Stein Gold LF, Eichenfield LF Abstract Recently a new class of topical medications for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis has been introduced with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first new prescription medication for this condition in more than a decade. Crisaborole, the newly approved medication, has relieved pruritus in more than one-third of patients within as little as 48 hours. It also has demonstrated efficacy in patients with skin of color. Topical therapies representing other new approaches to atopic dermatitis, with novel mechanisms of action, have shown promise in clinical development. Semin Cutan Med Surg 36(supp4):S99-S102.
