Abstract
Foam-based delivery systems contain one or more active ingredients and dispersed solid or liquid components that transform into gaseous form when the valve is actuated. Foams are an attractive and effective delivery approach for medical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical uses. The foams-based delivery systems are gaining attention due to ease of application as they allow direct application onto the affected area of skin without using any applicator or finger, hence increasing the compliance and satisfaction of the patients. In order to develop foam-based delivery systems with desired qualities, it is vital to understand which type of material and process parameters impact the quality features of foams and which methodologies may be utilized to investigate foams. For this purpose, Quality-by-Design (QbD) approach is used. It aids in achieving quality-based development during the development process by employing the QbD concept. The critical material attributes (CMAs) and critical process parameters (CPPs) were discovered through the first risk assessment to ensure the requisite critical quality attributes (CQAs). During the initial risk assessment, the high-risk CQAs were identified, which affect the foam characteristics. In this review, the authors discussed the various CMAs, CPPs, CQAs, and risk factors associated in order to develop an ideal foam-based formulation with desired characteristics.

Abstract
Most patients with psoriasis present with localized mild-to-moderate disease. In this case, the application of topical treatments in the first-line setting is recommended in most cases.Among different topical options, the fixed-dose combination of betamethasone dipropionate (BD) and vitamin D analogue (Cal) aerosol foam (Enstilar®, Leo Pharma) is approved as first-line topical therapy for the treatment of psoriasis in USA and the EU, due to its high efficacy and its favorable administration scheme.The PSO-LONG was the first trial to report on the long-term efficacy and safety of the Cal/DB foam treatment for the proactive management of psoriasis and now, the indications of Cal/BD foam included its use in the psoriasis maintenance treatment. However, the precise role of this treatment and the potential therapeutic schemes in the long-term management of psoriasis need further clarification.This Position Paper, authored by a group of Italian Expert Dermatologists, critically discusses the long-term management of psoriasis with Cal/BD foam in clinical practice. In particular, the biological rationale in the proactive treatment with Cal/BD foam and current evidence regarding this therapeutic approach are presented, along with its application also in patients with moderate-to-severe disease, difficult-to-treat lesions, or within combination regimens. In addition, strategies to improve adherence to long-term treatment of psoriasis are discussed.

[PMID: 33967781 PMCID: PMC8097153 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2021.644952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Psoriasis, an incurable autoimmune skin disease, is one of the most common immune-mediated disorders. Presently, numerous clinical research studies are underway, and treatment options are available. However, these treatments focus on improving symptoms of the disease and fail to achieve a radical cure; they also have certain toxic side effects. In recent years, natural products have increasingly gained attention because of their high efficiency and low toxicity. Despite their obvious therapeutic effects, natural products’ biological activity was limited by their instability, poor solubility, and low bioavailability. Novel drug delivery systems, including liposomes, lipospheres, nanostructured lipid carriers, niosomes, nanoemulsions, nanospheres, microneedles, ethosomes, nanocrystals, and foams could potentially overcome the limitations of poor water solubility and permeability in traditional drug delivery systems. Thus, to achieve a therapeutic effect, the drug can reach the epidermis and dermis in psoriatic lesions to interact with the immune cells and cytokines.
