Efficacy and Safety of JAK1 Inhibitor Abrocitinib in Atopic Dermatitis.

ABSTRACT: Abrocitinib is a JAK1 selective inhibitor recently approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults. It has demonstrated efficacy and safety in several clinical trials, both in children and adults, in monotherapy, and compared with dupilumab. The expected EASI-75 response rate estimates at week 12 are 62.9% (95% CrI 42.5-79.9%) for abrocitinib 200 mg and 43.0% (95% CrI 24.8-64.0%) for abrocitinib 100 mg. Abrocitinib has shown a faster effect than dupilumab as regards early alleviation of itch. Because of the incomplete target selectivity of JAK inhibitors, when abrocitinib treatment is considered, laboratory screening is necessary, latent tuberculosis must be screened for, active infections are a contraindication, and special caution must be exerted in treating
