JAK inhibitors in refractory dermatomyositis: A case series.

This retrospective cohort study assessed the efficacy and safety of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, tofacitinib and baricitinib, in 14 patients with refractory dermatomyositis (DM), a multisystemic autoimmune disorder with limited therapeutic options. Results demonstrated a significant median decrease of 21 points and a 76% reduction in the Cutaneous Dermatomyositis Disease Area and Severity Index (CDASI) scores, along with a complete resolution of muscular symptoms in 64% of the patients. JAK inhibitors were effective in managing refractory DM across various subtypes with mild and manageable adverse events.

Long-Term Safety Profile and Off-Label Use of JAK Inhibitors in Dermatological Disorders / Perfil de seguridad a largo plazo y usos fuera de indicación de los inhibidores de JAK en dermatología

JAK inhibitors target specific inflammatory cytokines involved in various inflammatory diseases. Four molecules have been approved for dermatological use: upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib and topical ruxolitinib. Off-label prescriptions for other dermatological conditions have been reported. We conducted a narrative review of the literature to assess the long-term safety profile of currently approved JAK inhibitors in dermatology, and their off-label use in skin disorders. We performed literature searches with Pubmed and Google Scholar from January 2000 to January 2023, using the keywords “Janus kinase inhibitors”, “JAK inhibitors”, “off-label”, “dermatology”, “safety”, “adverse events”, “ruxolitinib”, “upadacitinib”, “abrocitinib” and “baricitinib”. Our search yielded a total of 37 dermatological disorders with studies supporting the use of these JAK inhibitors. Preliminary studies indicate that JAK inhibitors generally have a favorable safety profile and can be considered as an option in many dermatological disorders (AU)

Los inhibidores de JAK actúan bloqueando la acción de ciertas citoquinas inflamatorias involucradas en varias enfermedades inflamatorias. Cuatro moléculas han sido aprobadas para uso en dermatología: upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib y ruxolitinib tópico. Se han reportado usos fuera de indicación para diferentes enfermedades dermatológicas. Se realizó una revisión narrativa de la literatura sobre la seguridad a largo plazo de los inhibidores de JAK aprobados en dermatología y su uso fuera de indicación en enfermedades dermatológicas, mediante búsquedas bibliográficas en Pubmed y Google Scholar desde enero de 2000 hasta enero de 2023, incluyendo las palabras clave: «Janus kinase inhibitors», «JAK inhibitors», «off-label», «dermatology», «safety», «adverse events», «ruxolitinib», «upadacitinib», «abrocitinib» y «baricitinib». Se encontraron un total de 37 trastornos dermatológicos con estudios que respaldan el uso de estos fármacos. Los estudios preliminares indican que los inhibidores de JAK tienen un perfil de seguridad generalmente favorable y pueden considerarse una opción en muchas enfermedades dermatológicas (AU)
