Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARQT) Q4 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

Frank Watanabe: I might just add with regard to the pediatric psoriasis topic. It is a small population, but there are very, very few options for those patientsm, approved options for young children. Most products aren’t even approved on the 12, which is what we’re currently proved down to. And one of the things that we’ve talked about in the past with the investment community was that our decision to study to read down to the age of two was actually the bad for the FDA. I think which was probably a reflection of their confidence in the safety of PDE4 as a target, they really encouraged us to study this down to the age of two. And we agreed because we felt that it was an important question to answer and important data for doctors to have, which is what led us to do it even though we knew it would not be a large source of business for us.

Uy Ear: Okay. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. And I’m showing no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn the call back over to Mr. Frank Watanabe for any closing remarks.

And secondly, I want to thank our investors for continuing to support us. And then lastly, I want to thank all of you for joining in on the call today. So with that, we look forward to talking to you all in another three months.
