- Brief Summary
This is a research study where all subjects will receive study medication to understand how the body processes the study medication, and to determine the PK, safety and efficacy of ARQ-151 cream 0.15% or 0.05% in adolescent and pediatric subjects with mild to moderate AD. At entry, subjects in Cohorts 1-3 will have 1.5-35% Body Surface Area involvement (excluding the scalp, palms, soles) and mild or moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) based on vIGA-AD. Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 will be performed in parallel and may commence after results are available from ARQ-151-212, a Phase 2 study evaluating ARQ-151 cream 0.05% and 0.15% administered once a day for 4 weeks in adolescents and adults with mild to moderate AD affecting 1.5% to 35% BSA.
For the maximal usage PK study (Cohorts 4-8), subjects will have BSA involvement (excluding the scalp, palms, soles) of ≥ 35% in subjects 3 months old to 11 years old (inclusive) or ≥25% in subjects 12 to \<17 years old with mild or moderate AD .
Seven groups will be evaluated, including:
* Cohort 1: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in adolescents (12-17 years old; inclusive)
* Cohort 2: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in children 6-11 years old (inclusive)
* Cohort 3: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in children 2-5 years old (inclusive; will be performed in parallel with Cohort 2)
* Cohort 4: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in adolescents 12 to \<17 years old
* Cohort 5: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in children 6-11 years old (inclusive)
* Cohort 6: ARQ-151 cream 0.15% in children 2-5 years old (inclusive)
* Cohort 7: ARQ-151 cream 0.05% in children 2-5 years old (inclusive)
* Cohort 8: ARQ-151 cream 0.05% in children 3 months old to less than 2 years old
Subjects will apply ARQ-151 cream 0.15% or 0.05% once a day for 28 days to all AD affected areas and any newly appearing AD lesions that arise during the study, except on the scalp.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of roflumilast and its N-oxide metabolite 4 weeks Maximum observed plasma concentration of drug in plasma
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve within a dosing interval (AUC) for roflumilast and its N-oxide metabolite 4 weeks The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) is a method of measurement of the total exposure of a drug in plasma.
Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) 4 weeks Number of participants with adverse events during treatment will be assessed.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) Total Score Change and Percent Change in Total Score Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 Change in EASI Total Score at weeks 2 and 4 and percent change from baseline in EASI Total Score at weeks 2 and 4. EASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single total score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). To calculate the EASI, the sum of the severity rating (0 to 3 with 3 being the most severe) for four clinical signs are multiplied with the numerical value of the area affected and with the percentage of the four body areas.
Eczema Area and Severity Index Score 100%, 90%, 75%, and 50% Improvement (EASI100, EASI90, EASI75, and EASI50) Baseline, Week 2, and Week 4 Proportion of patients with a 100%, 90%, 75%, and 50% or greater improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI100, EASI90, EASI75, and EASI50) score from baseline to each study visit. EASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single total score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). To calculate the EASI, the sum of the severity rating (0 to 3 with 3 being the most severe) for four clinical signs are multiplied with the numerical value of the area affected and with the percentage of the four body areas.
Achievement of a Validated Investigator Global Assessment scale for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD) score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' at each study visit, or 'clear' or 'almost clear' with a 2-point improvement from baseline at each study visit Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (reported only in integers of 0 to 4 where 0 is clear).
Change from baseline in vIGA-AD score at each study visit Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 The vIGA-AD is a static evaluation of qualitative overall AD severity. This global assessment scale is an ordinal scale with five severity grades (reported only in integers of 0 to 4 where 0 is clear).
Body Surface Area (BSA) Involvement Change Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 Change from baseline in BSA involvement at each study visit.
Worse Itch Numerical Rating Score (WI-NRS) Pruritis Score Change Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 Change from baseline in WI-NRS pruritus score at each study visit. WI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").
WI-NRS Pruritus Score Improvement Baseline, Week 2, Week 4 ≥4-point improvement from Baseline in WI-NRS pruritus score at each study visit. WI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").
