Janus kinase inhibitors efficacy for the treatment of adult atopic dermatitis in real clinical practice

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a common chronic dermatosis characterized by a wide variability of endotypes and phenotypes. Approaches to the treatment of atopic dermatitis are currently undergoing significant changes, especially in patients with moderate and severe forms of atopic dermatitis. JAK inhibitors according to the results of numerous studies have shown their efficacy in the treatment of various immune-mediated dermatological diseases such as atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, focal alopecia and psoriasis, etc. The article presents the experience of treating adult patients suffering from a severe form of atopic dermatitis with the selective JAK-1 inhibitor upadacitinib. The observations presented are of particular interest due to the fact that the patients were treated with upadacitinib monotherapy. It should be noted that the drug is highly effective against itching. No adverse events (including the development of infectious diseases, hematological disorders) were registered during dynamic observation (according to the results of laboratory studies).
