JAK inhibitors for alopecia areata - challenges and successes 

You're great at your area of expertise ma'am.

I'm on the ritlecitinib trial and this is a great explanation of how the drugs work and how promising they are! There is so much hope!

I live in the UK and have alopecia universalis, and unfortunately none of the jak drugs have been approved on this side of the pond for treatment of any form of alopecia. The decision was made by the powers that be back in June 23. It's left me feeling angry and dissolutioned and not knowing where to turn next. For those of you over in the United States, I wish you all the best with this exciting new treatment and really hope the these drugs work 100% for you ❤

This is an excellent and very easy to understand - well done.

Excellent presentation. You have made a complicated thing simple and easy to understand.

Thanks for your videos. Please consider editing RU-vid's automatic transcription because all the important information gets mangled. It wouldn't take much effort on your part, and it would help your viewers, especially viewers who speak English as a second language. Plus, edited transcriptions help with YT's algorithm, so more viewers would find your videos. TIA!

Thank you for your excellent update.... as always. Please elaborate on Topical JAK inhibitors next VDO.

Baricitinib just got FDA approved !! Thank you for the video prof.

Thank you for creating a very informative video about this product ❤️

you are the best!!!!

Hello from Mexico I love your videos, when are you going to talk about only about lichen planopilares?

Hi Dr Rudnicka, thank you so much for these videos they give me so much hope. I'm in Toronto Canada and haven't been able to find a dermatologist with expertise in alopecia, do you have any recommendations?

Hi Dr.Rudnica My son 14 years old started seeing improvement from taking Baricitinib . We see black specks all over his head, few on eyebrows. He has alopecia universalis My question is , how long does he need to be on it? One year will it be enough? How long do people usually be on it? Do you lower the dosage before stopping it completely? I would appreciate it a lot if you will answer my questions Thank you a lot for giving out valuable information ❤️❤️

Jak miło posluchac po polsku ...

Hello professor I'm pharmacist and caring for learning evry things about hair Could you advise me from your beautiful experience? Thanks alot for you

Thank you, I've learned so much from your videos. What are you thoughts on the use of JAK inhibitors with young adult patients that have had chemo therapy for CHL, and now have chemo induced AA?

Thank you for your research-based discussion. I follow your and some other's discussion on this topic, but nowhere I see a very important point to be discussed. Which is, after full regrowth, if someone stops JAK inhibitor, will the small patch come back or the regrowth is sustainable?

Hello Dr Rudnicka I’m from Manteca, CA can u help me to find a best dermatologist for alopecia treatment in my area

Can Barcitinib work for telogen effluvium which is caused by an autoimmune disease?

Going on this month!!

Hello Dr.Rudnicka, I just read New York Times article about Olumient being FDA approved. I have AU for about 2 years, after childbirth. And had AT in 2018, after which the hair regrew without treatment (may be only Rogaine). Basically I believe it’s stress related alopecia. But now it’s AU and the hair doesn’t want to regrow very much, but I got my facial hair back, and a little hope on my head, but still it’s 2 years almost. My question is - does my case can be the reason for prescribing me Olumient? I’m desperate and planning to order other jak inhibitor from other country may be… plus cannot find dermatologist specialising in alopecia under my insurance (Chicago suburbs, Chicago area)…

Hi Prof. My new derm said all treatments don’t affect my FFA at all(I’m on Isotretinoin,Dutasteride,Cyclosporine,Prednisone and Plaquenil). He wants me to start Clexane injections once a week(he said there are few studies that show great results on LP). What do you think? He said if it doesn’t work we’ll try Xeljanz. What do you think on Xeljanz for FFA? Big thank you as always!

Hello, I am suffering from ophiasis alopecia. My dermatologist suggested Tofacitinib 2*5mg. My queries are: 1. For how long I have to take this medicine. 2. How it is going to impact the immune system? 3. If i stop this medicine after 5 6 months, what will happen? Is there a rebound. If yes, how can I avoid it?

as someone that has suffered from alopecia areata to now alopecia totalis for 9 years, i’ve done every treatment possible. so far, everything has worked only temporarily including PRP (with both blood, and chemiclas) cupping, homeopathy, aurvedic, steroids, vitamins, creams, oils, solutions. everything has side effects. everything works but for me it was temporary. one of india’s best dermatologist has advised me to take elocon and tofajak, (tofacitinib) i have definitely seen some results, such as thin hair growth around my scalp, but it relapses once my skin gets flakey and if i’m out of the dosage. would you recommend increasing the dosage? or using a different jak? i hope to find a cure for alopecia soon! x willing to try jak’s ruxolitnib, but why it is it so expensive 😩 it’s as expensive as my human hair wig

Dr Rudnicka can you please answer me about oluminant for androgenic alopecia ? Can be used with Finastreide? Thanks a lot 😊

How affective are Jak inhibitors at treating alopecia barbae I believe it’s called of beard alopecia? My dermatologist gave me a prescription for it but shortly after using it I got Covid which I never had before and it scared me. I haven’t used it since but I’m sure I didn’t use it enough time to see results.

Hello. Do you think that these JAK-inhibitors are suitable to treat regular androgenic alopecia? I saw a video of some studies that were done on androgenic alopecia and the JAK inhibitors works on that as well according to those studies. What is your opinion on this?

If we take tofacitinib 5mg twice for life long mean , what will be the side effect will get ??

Hello please show the way how can I get treatment for my 5years Old son??? He has Alopecia areata

I am a patient of OCD and taking psychotic medicine last 6 years. My main concern is my hair fall started when I was 14. Now I am 31 years old. Totally bald. Probably Norwood 7. But the problem is I have losing hair from lower and side portion of the head. Maybe retrograde alopecia. And also losing beard.almost 70% of my beard density has gone and losing my beard line. I saw many dermatologist but nothing works. I just want to know is it treatable?

Hi, in the uk, jak inhibitors are not approved for hair loss treatments and I think its only available for arthritis etc. Can I visit a doctor in the USA and obtain say 12 months treatment plan of jak inhibitors for me to use back in the uk , if so any suggestions for the west coast ? Thanks Mike

Dzień dobry, Pani profesor Jestem kobietą i mam 26 lat oraz pcos. Ze wględu na pcos mam wysoki testeron (2x górna granica normy). Zdiagnozowano u mnie łysienie androgenowe. Włosy wychodzą garściami od 3 lat, dziennie 300 sztuk. Od 8 miesiecy stosuję finasteryd 5 mg, spironol 25 mg, minoxidil doustny w dawce 0.001 (1mg). Po 4.5 mięsiaca była poprawa w trichoskopii, aczkolwiek leczenie w żadnym stopniu nie zmniejszyło wypadania, tracę objętość włosów, boję się je dotykać. Wypada mi dużo baby hair, takich 5-7 cm, a włosy mam za łopatki. Czy to dobry pomysł, aby zastąpić finasteryd dutasterydem i włączyć Alopexy albo zmodyfikować to leczenie? Wypadanie takiej ilości jest dla mnie bardzo uciążliwe.
