November 2023 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” The integrated safety analysis of ritlecitinib, a JAK3/TEC family kinase inhibitor, for the treatment of alopecia areata (AA) was conducted using data from four studies within the ALLEGRO clinical trial program. The analysis included a placebo-controlled pool of 881 patients for up to 24 weeks and an all-exposure pool of 1,294 patients for up to 36 months. Participants were aged 12 years and older, with at least 25% scalp hair loss, and were not receiving other AA treatments. The study evaluated various doses of ritlecitinib, including 10 mg, 30 mg, 50 mg, and combinations with a 200 mg loading dose. Safety data were summarized using counts and percentages of adverse events and lab abnormalities, with incidence rates adjusted for study size reported per 100 patient-years. The findings support the safety of ritlecitinib for up to 48 weeks in treating AA.

May 2024 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” A 19-year-old Indian woman with alopecia subtotalis was treated with tofacitinib, a Janus Kinase inhibitor, resulting in significant hair regrowth in 80% of patches within 1 month. However, she developed a pruritic symmetrical erythematous rash, diagnosed as symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), a rare cutaneous adverse effect. The rash, which began in the axilla and other flexural areas, intensified with continued medication use. Upon discontinuation of tofacitinib and treatment with topical corticosteroids, emollients, and oral antihistamines, the rash resolved. This case, reported to the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India, highlights the potential for SDRIFE as an adverse reaction to tofacitinib, classified as mild and probably preventable.
