Arcutis (Nasdaq: ARQT) was founded in 2016 to address significant unmet needs in medical dermatology. The company is an early commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing best-in-class products. Our strategy is to exploit recent innovations in inflammation and immunology to bring the best molecules to bear against validated physiologic targets known to treat dermatological diseases and disorders.
