Abstract

Roflumilast is a targeted inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE)-4 and has been approved for treatment of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for more than a decade. Generic versions are available in the United States. PDE-4 is involved in the psoriasis pathogenesis, but the efficacy and safety of oral roflumilast in patients with psoriasis have not previously been studied.
