Arcutis Launches New Virtual Health Platform Supporting Access to Care for Individuals Living with Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases, Including Approved ZORYVE® (roflumilast) Indications
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., June 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced the launch of a new virtual health platform designed to expand access pathways to its ZORYVE® (roflumilast) portfolio for chronic inflammatory skin diseases. The virtual health platform provides individuals living with eczema (atopic dermatitis), seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis with an additional pathway to connect with independent, board-certified dermatologists and access care through a streamlined digital experience. The offering is intended to complement traditional in-office dermatology specialist care with a convenient, alternative pathway to a dermatologist for those who have yet to see a dermatologist or who struggle with obtaining timely dermatology care. Designed to help improve access to dermatologists and broaden access, where appropriate, to ZORYVE for approved indications, the platform connects individuals with independent dermatologists after completing a brief clinical intake. “At Arcutis, we believe meaningful innovation should not be focused solely on new treatments, but should extend to all aspects of dermatology care, including access to dermatologists,” said Todd Edwards, chief commercial officer of Arcutis. “We recognize that individuals living with chronic inflammatory skin diseases have different preferences for how and when they engage with providers, and many patients struggle to obtain in-person dermatology care. Our virtual health platform is designed to complement traditional care settings by helping reduce barriers to specialist treatment and supporting individuals who may otherwise forego or face delays in seeing a dermatologist. By providing an additional option for individuals to connect with an independent dermatologist, we can help individuals access timely care and determine whether ZORYVE may be right for them.” Board-certified, independent dermatologists participating in the platform evaluate, diagnose, and determine appropriate treatment for each individual based on their clinical judgment. Arcutis does not influence clinical decision-making, diagnoses, or prescribing decisions made through the platform. If prescribed, ZORYVE prescriptions are coordinated through a national pharmacy hub designed to support a seamless experience, including insurance support and home delivery, or prescriptions can be sent directly to an individual’s preferred pharmacy. Today, many individuals are seeking more convenient, flexible ways to engage with care. Virtual health helps address common barriers such as long wait times for dermatology appointments, geographic limitations, and scheduling challenges, while providing an additional pathway for individuals who might otherwise delay or forgo specialized treatment. The platform is designed to complement — not replace — traditional in-office dermatology care. The launch of Arcutis’ virtual health platform reflects the company’s broader commitment to improving access to care and treatment for individuals living with chronic inflammatory skin diseases, helping more individuals access the therapies they need while continuing to engage healthcare providers across dermatology, primary care, and pediatric settings.

About ZORYVE® (roflumilast) ZORYVE is the number one prescribed branded topical therpy across three major inflammatory dermatoses combined — atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and plaque psoriasis. ZORYVE is a topical formulation of roflumilast, an advanced targeted topical phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitor. Inhibiting PDE4, an intracellular enzyme that is an established target in dermatology, decreases the production of pro-inflammatory mediators. This decreases inflammation in the skin and balances the skin’s immune system. Demonstrating both clinical impact and broad industry recognition, ZORYVE has been honored with multiple prestigious awards and recommendations. ZORYVE was awarded by Allure with the "2025 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award," making it the first FDA-approved medication for atopic dermatitis, plaque psoriasis, and seborrheic dermatitis to win this prominent award. ZORYVE cream 0.3% and ZORYVE foam 0.3% were also awarded the National Psoriasis Foundation’s Seal of Recognition — the first FDA-approved prescription brand to receive the honor. Additionally, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) issued a strong recommendation for the use of ZORYVE cream 0.15% in adults with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis, according to updated guidelines released in June 2025, as well as a strong recommendation for the use of ZORYVE cream 0.05% for children aged 2-5 years and ZORYVE cream 0.15% for children aged 6 years and older with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis from the AAD’s first-ever pediatric atopic dermatitis guidelines published in April 2026.
