Liarozole is an imidazole-containing compound that inhibits the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of all-trans-retinoic acid (RA). Liarozole, a retinoic acid (RA) metabolism-blocking agent
(RAMBA) in clinical development, has been granted orphan
drug designation for congenital ichthyosis by the European
Commission and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Later, based on the mixed results from a phase II/III trial of liarozole for the treatment of ichthyosis, Barrier decided to discontinue the development of liarozole. Liarozole displays antitumor activity against androgen-dependent and independent rat prostate carcinomas.A large phase III international study was completed
comparing liarozole 300 mg twice daily with cyproterone
acetate (CPA) 100 mg twice daily in a total of 321
patients with metastatic prostate cancer in relapse after
first-line endocrine therapy. The results
indicate that liarozole might be a possible treatment
option for prostate cancer (PCA) following failure of
first-line endocrine therapy.

Patients aged ≥ 14 years with moderate/severe lamellar ichthyosis [Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score ≥ 3] were randomized 3 : 3 : 1 to receive oral liarozole (75 or 150 mg) or placebo once daily for 12 weeks. Compared with placebo, oral liarozole, 75 or 150 mg,
once daily for 12 weeks, reduced the overall severity of ichthyosis
and scaling, but not erythema or pruritus, and
improved DLQI in patients with moderate or severe lamellar
ichthyosis.
