Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT), a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced results of a nationwide survey of adults with seborrheic dermatitis and the healthcare providers that treat them, designed to better understand their satisfaction and experience with currently available treatment options. The online survey was conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Arcutis and included 300 U.S. adults (18+ years) who have been diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis, of which 84% reported their condition to be moderate or severe, and 601 licensed U.S. healthcare providers, including dermatologists, nurse practitioners (NPs), and physician assistants (PAs).

The survey found that individuals with seborrheic dermatitis experienced a lack of satisfaction with current treatment options and a high daily burden of care. Specifically, only one in four adults with seborrheic dermatitis that use treatments reported being very satisfied with the effectiveness of prescription treatment options. Additionally, the survey found that, on average, adults with seborrheic dermatitis use six different treatments each week, including over-the-counter, prescription, and alternative treatments to manage their symptoms, and spend more than 30 minutes a day treating their symptoms. Healthcare providers also expressed limited satisfaction with available therapies for this disease, with only one in 10 reporting being very satisfied with available prescription treatment options.
