Betamethasone valerate effective for short-term stasis dermatitis
Waikoloa, Hawaii -- Pilot study results indicate that 0.12 percent betamethasone valerate foam is more effective than vehicle alone for short-term stasis dermatitis treatment. "This topical therapy can lead to improved health-related quality of life in these patients," said Alexa Boer Kimball, M.D., assistant professor and director, dermatology clinical trials, Stanford University School of Medicine.
The FDA approval, based on 36-week data from the phase 3 BRAVE-AA-PEDS trial, extends baricitinib access to patients as young as 12 years old with severe alopecia areata.
