摘要

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) has an integral role in maintaining skin homeostasis. Tapinarof cream 1% (VTAMA®) is an AhR agonist developed by Dermavant Sciences, an Organon Company, as a once-daily topical treatment for plaque psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD). It was first approved in May 2022 in the USA for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. It was then approved in June 2024 in Japan for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults and AD in adults and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older. In December 2024, it was approved in the USA for the topical treatment of AD in adults and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of tapinarof cream 1% leading to this first pediatric approval.
