May 2025 in “Frontiers in Medicine” This retrospective case series evaluated the efficacy and safety of dual-targeted therapy (DTT) in 18 patients with refractory inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across three tertiary hospitals in China. The study included 8 patients with ulcerative colitis and 10 with Crohn’s disease, using combinations of biologic agents and tofacitinib. Results showed high clinical response rates of 88.23% at 3 months, 91.67% at 6 months, and 100% at 9 months, with an endoscopic response in 88.89% of evaluated patients at 9 months. Adverse events were minimal, with some patients experiencing ustekinumab-associated arthralgia and alopecia, and tofacitinib-related allergic purpura, leading to a transition to monotherapy. Two patients developed infections but continued DTT after treatment. The study concludes that DTT is a promising and safe option for patients unresponsive to conventional monotherapies.
June 2026 in “Dermatology and Therapy” In the first 10 months following its FDA approval in June 2023, ritlecitinib was prescribed to a diverse group of patients aged ≥12 years with severe alopecia areata (AA) in the USA. This study analyzed data from 2,562 patients in cohort 1 and 381 in cohort 2, revealing that 62% were prescribed ritlecitinib by dermatologists, 59% were female, and 35% were adolescents. Approximately 24% had severe AA forms like alopecia totalis or universalis, 12% had other autoimmune disorders, 24% had atopic disorders, and 24% had mental health conditions. Before starting ritlecitinib, 27% had no prior AA treatments, while about one-third received systemic immunomodulators or injectable corticosteroids. In cohort 2, 77% experienced ≥50% scalp hair loss. The findings suggest ritlecitinib offers new opportunities for engaging patients in AA care, regardless of their treatment history or comorbidities.
