JAK inhibitors redefining atopic dermatitis treatment

20 November 2024

The landscape of atopic dermatitis (AD) treatment is advancing with approvals of oral and topical Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors across the seven major pharmaceutical markets (7MM; USA, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and Japan).

JAK inhibitors represent a breakthrough in addressing inflammatory conditions like atopic dermatitis (AD), providing a targeted approach that enhances treatment efficacy and safety, while promising new therapeutic options for diverse patient populations, says pharma analytics company GlobalData.

Incyte’s (Nasdaq: INCY) Opzelura (ruxolitinib) is a topical JAK 1/2 inhibitor that has been approved for AD in the USA. Its role in AD treatment has been explored, with completed clinical trials for Opzelura in AD involving diverse AD patient populations; the Phase III TRuE AD1 (NCT03745638) and TRuE AD2 (NCT03745651) studies were aimed at adolescents and adults, and the TRuE AD3 (NCT04921969) study was aimed at children.
