Description
In this June series of the podcast, we focus on JAK inhibitors. This episode kicks off with a detailed review of an Italian study published in Expert Opinion in Drug Safety, which examines the incidence and management of infections in patients with alopecia areata treated with JAK inhibitors. Dr. Donovan discusses the findings, emphasizing that about one in three patients on JAK inhibitors may develop infections, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and potential treatment pauses.
Additionally, Dr. Donovan reviews a study from New York in Archives of Dermatologic Research, which reveals low vaccination rates among patients with immune-mediated diseases on biologics and JAK inhibitors. The study underscores the importance of pre-treatment vaccinations to mitigate infection risks.
Join us next week as we explore the efficacy and cost benefits of generic tofacitinib in managing alopecia areata, part of our ongoing series on JAK inhibitors. Stay tuned for more insights and expert analysis on the Evidence-Based Hair Podcast.
