ABSTRACT
Background:
The occurrence of acne in patients treated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors for skin diseases is a potential issue, which may reduce treatment adherence.Purpose:
To systematically analyzes randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of JAK inhibitors in dermatological indications for the risk of acne as an adverse event.Methods:
A meta-analysis of odds ratios (ORs) for acne incidence was conducted. Data were quantitatively synthesized using random-effects meta-analysis. Surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values representing the relative ranking probabilities of treatments were obtained. Analyses were performed using R statistical software version 4.4.0.Results:
A total of 11,396 patients were included from 24 studies. The incidence of acne for JAK inhibitors was ranked according to the SUCRA as follows JAK1 inhibitors > TYK2 inhibitors > combined JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitors > combined JAK1 and TYK2 inhibitors > JAK3 + TEC inhibitors > pan-JAK inhibitors. ORs were higher for longer durations of drug use and larger dosages. Subgroup analyses by disease indication revealed increased ORs for psoriasis (5.52 [95% CI, 1.39-21.88]), vitiligo (4.15 [95% CI, 1.27-13.58]), alopecia areata (3.86 [95% CI, 1.58-9.42]), and atopic dermatitis (2.82 [95% CI, 1.75-4.54]). The use of JAK inhibitors in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may not significantly increase the incidence of acne.Conclusions:
There are higher rates of acne following treatment with JAK inhibitors for dermatologic indications, particularly with longer durations and larger dosages. Pan-JAK inhibitors exhibit the lowest incidence of acne.Key words
