Vitiligo Treatments: Review of Current Therapeutic Modalities and JAK Inhibitors

Kaitlynne N. Cunningham et al.

Summary: Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease causing loss of skin pigmentation, affecting 0.5-2% of the global population. Significant progress has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of vitiligo, which involves a combination of genetics, oxidative stress, inflammation, and environmental triggers. Conventional treatments include camouflage, topical corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, phototherapy, and surgery, but a new cream targeting the Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway has recently been approved by the US FDA for repigmentation in vitiligo patients.

Innovation in the treatment of atopic dermatitis: Emerging topical and oral Janus kinase inhibitors

Chisa Nakashima et al.

Summary: Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, eczematous skin condition characterized by severe itchiness. Th2 cell-mediated immunity, skin barrier dysfunction, and pruritus contribute to the development of atopic dermatitis. The JAK/STAT pathway is involved in various inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis. JAK inhibitors show promise as potential treatments for severe atopic dermatitis.

Effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib combined with narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for patients with refractory vitiligo in real-world clinical practice

Hongbin Song et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib combined with narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy for refractory nonsegmental vitiligo. The results showed that the combination group had significantly higher levels of repigmentation and response rate compared to the control group. Tofacitinib combined with NB-UVB phototherapy may be an effective and safe alternative treatment for refractory vitiligo.

An overview of JAK/STAT pathways and JAK inhibition in alopecia areata

Maddison Lensing et al.

Summary: Alopecia Areata (AA) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by hair loss. The breakdown of immune privilege of the hair follicle plays a role in the development of the disease. IFN gamma and other cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of AA. Targeting the JAK/STAT signaling pathways has been shown to be effective in treating the disease.

Spesolimab, an Anti-Interleukin-36 Receptor Antibody, in Patients with Palmoplantar Pustulosis: Results of a Phase IIa, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study

Ulrich Mrowietz et al.

Summary: Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease with high disease burden, and there is a high unmet clinical need for effective treatment options. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of spesolimab, a novel anti-interleukin-36 receptor antibody, in patients with PPP. Although the primary efficacy endpoint was not met, spesolimab showed a potential treatment effect with a higher rate of achieving PPP ASI50 compared to placebo, and was well tolerated with no significant safety concerns.
