July 2026 in “Advances in Therapy” The study explored clinician preferences for Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in treating alopecia areata (AA) through a discrete choice experiment involving 155 clinicians. The results indicated that the most important treatment attribute was scalp hair regrowth (52.7%), followed by initial hair growth (31.5%), and medication frequency (15.8%). Among the blinded treatment profiles, the deuruxolitinib 8-mg profile (Profile C) was most preferred by 72.2% of clinicians, while the ritlecitinib 50-mg profile (Profile B) was least preferred by 81.9%. Clinicians favored treatments with higher efficacy and quicker onset, regardless of dosing frequency.

July 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” This 4.5-year real-world retrospective cohort study evaluated the safety of JAK inhibitors (abrocitinib, baricitinib, upadacitinib, and ritlecitinib) in 376 adult patients with alopecia areata or atopic dermatitis. The study found that JAK inhibitors were generally well tolerated, with most adverse events being mild to moderate, such as mild cholesterol increases, weight gain, and upper respiratory infections. Serious adverse events like major cardiovascular events and aggressive cancers were rare. Notably, weight gain was more common in female patients, and menstrual alterations, though rare, were a significant cause of treatment discontinuation. The study underscores the importance of continuous real-world safety monitoring, particularly for metabolic and sex-specific side effects, as routine clinical practice is less controlled than clinical trials.
